It’s not the first time in recent weeks there’s been rumours Connie is dating again.

She reportedly ‘hit it off’ with former Bachelor Matt Agnew at a social event in Melbourne recently.

On Monday, she addressed the rumoured romance with the handsome astrophysicist with NW magazine.

She said: ‘I have always been attracted to a man with a very big brain. Matt seems like a highly intelligent man.’ 

Connie added: ‘I’ve always pictured myself with a man who has a PhD under his belt. I’m blushing, so there’s your answer!’

PhD is short for Doctor of Philosophy, a prestigious university degree awarded in recognition of original research. It’s also millennial slang for ‘pretty huge d**k’.

Meanwhile, as the final weeks air of Married At First Sight, Connie has consistently voted to ‘stay’ with ‘husband’ Jonethen.

The groom was forced to remain in the experiment for another week after Connie voted to stay at Wednesday’s commitment ceremony.

It was the third week in a row he’d tried to quit, but his wife’s ‘last minute decision’ to stay for personal reasons locked him down. 

Earlier in the season, the experts forced Hayley Vernon and David Cannon off the show, despite not agreeing on ‘leaving’, because their relationship had become ‘toxic’.
