'Married At First Sight' often turns into a messy affair, and we mean that literally. Season 13 has been its own brand of chaos, with most couples having one explosive argument after another. However, Brett and Ryan seemed the calmest out of the lot, but that was because they seldom communicated.

Ryan never seemed entirely invested in Brett, and even though he claimed to have tried, it didn't come across that way. Brett seems to have tried her best, but at some point, she checked out. When it came down to the reunion, the conversation about Ryan being on a dating app came up, but it turns out Brett had some secrets of her own.

With Alexa, Ryan's sister joining the reunion episode, she exposed Brett by mentioning that Brett had met someone and exchanged numbers much before Ryan downloaded the dating app. Brett didn't deny this but added that nothing happened between her and this mystery man. Ryan interjected, stating that he saw the messages and they weren't exactly texts between friends. Brett stayed firm with her side of the story, saying that she had nothing romantic going on, even though Ryan and Alexa claimed otherwise. 

Some fans had a hard time believing her and were shocked by the outcome of events. 
"Deceitful little red head wench she had us all on her side now we lookong like fools #MAFS" tweeted a fan. "Brett was out here wildin in these streets?  #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" added another. "Brett exchanging numbers and Ryan matching on a dating app: #MAFS #MarriedatfirstsightHouston #MarriedAtFirstSight" argued another.



 



 



 

But others sided with Brett, seeing that Ryan never really put in the effort to begin with. "Brett did what she hadda do! When A MF is CLEARLY not interested, you move tf on! The only thing keepin her there was that contract she signed! HOT GIRLS UP 1000 POINTS! #MarriedAtFirstSight #mafs" tweeted a fan. "That man ain't want her anyway… get yours Brett! #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight"added another.



 



 

However, some fans felt as though this made no difference, seeing that Ryan had checked out from the start. 
"They were both wrong lol that's it. But Ryan saying they should've talked about it is dumb because he never wanted to talk about anything! He told her she was making a scene just by having a normal conversation #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight" added another. "ryan and his twin can skidaddle. he didn't want her regardless so cares if she met someone #MAFS" agreed another.
