The couples whose Family and Friends Week meet-ups went well are thriving – especially Jacqui and Ryan, who have worked on shrine to themselves inside their apartment.
Carina and Paul met up with his best friend and sister, and her sister and aunt.
Cheeky wedding guest Aunt Maria is back and she’s got some X-rated questions to ask!
“So, obviously you sleep together…” she says. “The sex life is good?”
They do, it is, and Aunt Maria can leave lunch feeling content, with Paul shocked by her cheeky question.
Over with Morena and Tony, they hope a catch-up with friends can reignite their spark.
While Tony claimed they’re all good, Morena was more frank.
“It’s really tough,” she said.
He says he’s looking for the fun, vibrant Morena he met on their wedding day.
“Tony, you were gutted when you found out I was 57,” she said.
Her friends pull him aside for a private chat and he drops a surprise. Tony wants a child!
“It’s taken me a while to think about it, to register in my head what I really, really want,” he said.
Later, he sat down and told Morena, and she does not believe him. She wishes he could just say he’s just not that into her, because this “sweet little story” has made her lose respect for him.
