MAFS star Dean Wells and Emma Roche from The Bachelor dating | Photos - NEWS.com.au

In the latest cross-reality TV show dating news, Bachelor contestant Emma Roche and MAFS “villain” Dean Wells are rumoured to be an item.

The romance whispers follow an affectionate photo Dean shared on Instagram.

Posting to his page on Wednesday, Dean gushed over Emma, who recently appeared on The Bachelor vying for Matt Agnew’s heart.

Emma was the victim of the unflattering “stage five clinger” edit throughout the season.

But if Dean’s post alluding to a new romance speaks truth, it looks as though her luck in love is turning.

“If anything good ever came of reality TV its meeting this amazing human and sharing a glass of @littlerippleswine,” Dean wrote beneath a photo in which his arm is wrapped around Emma’s waist, her hand affectionately clutching his, while the other is holding a bottle of wine.

With Dean seemingly using the post flaunting his newly-found connection with Emma to simultaneously advertise Little Ripples wine, many have been quick to call it out as a publicity stunt.

Dean appeared on season five of the social experiment Married At First Sight, causing controversy through his “affair” with fellow contestant Davina.

He has remained vocal about the reality show on social media in following seasons, particularly in season six during Jessika Power’s “affair” with Dan Webb.

A number of reality TV alum commented on his photo with Emma with messages of support for the rumoured new couple.

“Ohhhh yay!!! Congrats lovebirds!,” fellow MAFS season five star Sarah Roza commented, while Jesse Konstantinoff from season four added: “Congratulations champ”.

Melissa Walsh, another season five star, weighed in: “Yessssssss!!!!! So happy for you. Congrats Dean and Emma”.

Interestingly, Emma hasn’t posted anything on her page — her latest post instead showcasing her new hair-do.
