MAFS star Jackson Lonie certainly doesn’t waste any time when it comes to dating – a trait that has been exhibited (again) through an Instagram story he posted about his romantic night with former The Bachelor contestant Jay Lal.
Jay competed on Jimmy Nicholson’s season of the dating show, which aired in 2021. Throughout the season she was a frontrunner for Jimmy’s heart and came third place in the competition.

Both Jackson and Jay posted about their recent date on their Instagram stories. “We had a ball of a time,” Jay captioned a questionable photo of Jackson squatting over a picnic basket at dusk. Jackson reposted the story to his own Instagram.

Jay also shared a photo of her sitting on a picnic rug watching the sunset with a cheeseboard. Furthermore, Jackson shared a picture of a sunset at the same time – and at what looks to be the same place – with some love heart face emojis.
Jackson made up one half of this year’s most controversial MAFS couple, alongside Olivia Frazer. The couple were strong through the show – and continued to date afterwards – but broke up in August after ten months together.
Since then, Jackson briefly dated influencer Ella Kemp (who also dated his co-star Jack Millar). However, the pair called it quits after a few months together, with Ella revealing that Jackson’s OnlyFans account contributed to their seperation.
“The reason why it didn’t go anywhere is because he’d just come out of a relationship and look, if I’m completely honest… I wasn’t the biggest fan that he did OnlyFans,” she told So Dramatic!.
Meanwhile, Jackson’s ex Olivia has moved on, too. She has been dating a man named William Mitchell who she met at a halloween party that Jackson coincendentally attended too.
Speaking of Olivia’s new love interest, a source told the Yahoo Lifestyle!, “They’ve hung out a few times since meeting at a Halloween party and are just having fun and taking things slow. There’s a real connection between them but neither is rushing into anything.”
