Married At First Sight UK star Rebecca has publicly confirmed a new romance with footballer Lily Woodham, marking a fresh start after her split from ex-husband Bailey.
From MAFS Heartbreak to a New Beginning
The news comes after fans were left disappointed by the breakdown of Rebecca and Bailey's relationship, which ended shortly after their reunion episode aired in December 2025. During that final show, the pair seemed stronger than ever, with Rebecca even discussing a potential move to Bailey's hometown of Hove.
However, Rebecca later confirmed the separation on social media with a pointed remark, suggesting Bailey had "fumbled" their relationship. Now, the reality TV personality has firmly turned the page, choosing to "hard launch" her new partner to her followers.
A Sweet Social Media Reveal
Rebecca shared the news of her relationship with Lily Woodham, a player for Liverpool Football Club, through a heartfelt video montage on Instagram. The clip was captioned with a reflective message about finding love unexpectedly in your thirties.
"You’ll question everything you’ve ever known about yourself," she wrote, adding, "It’s important you don’t try and fight it, let love in." The tender video culminated in a moment where Lily presented a hand-painted sign asking, "Will you be my girlfriend?" followed by Rebecca's joyful acceptance.
She also posted a series of adorable pictures with Lily, seemingly making a light-hearted reference to her past desire for an "alpha male" on MAFS. The caption read: "Here’s my ‘new love’. My 5ft 4” alpha."
Flood of Support from Co-Stars and Followers
The announcement was met with an outpouring of support from fellow Married At First Sight UK contestants. Close friend Nelly exclaimed, "I AM SO GASSED YOUVE FINALLY REVEALED OUR GORGEOUS LIL," while others like Sarah, Leah, Abi, and Leisha left heartfelt congratulatory messages.
Rebecca took to her Instagram Stories to thank everyone for their kindness, writing: "Thank you all for the love ❤️ I've seen every single message x."
While the exact origins of Rebecca and Lily's romance remain private, the public declaration confirms Rebecca has embraced this new chapter. The development follows other MAFS UK relationship updates, including Davide's split from Keye and Leigh's defence of Davide's new partnership.
