Emma reveals she convinced Kristina to ‘stay’ with Kieran before MAFS commitment ceremony

The friendship between Emma and Kristina was so wholesome on MAFS UK, but it turns out she actually encouraged Kristina to “stay and fight” for her relationship with Kieran. The pair have been going through a rough patch since Kieran’s seemingly everlasting coldsore stopped all intimacy between the pair, and tensions between them only got worse when he kissed Polly on the lips.

In an Instagram statement thanking Kristina for her valuable friendship during the MAFS UK process, Emma also added that the pair spent the night together before the commitment ceremony. They had some very deep chats together about their current and past relationships, with Emma recalling how she “encouraged Stina to stay and fight because her and Kieran have something special.”

Emma wrote: “I have to share this story with you… after the last dinner party, with both couples in a bad way, I got to spend the night with @kristinagoodsell before what I knew was my final CC the following morning.

“Kieran stayed with Casp over at ours. This was the first time I’d decided to leave the apartment for the night throughout the entire process.

“We stayed up until 4am talking about our marriages, families, friends, childhoods, relatives, and “the ones that got away”.I got excited about seeing the world, again, cuddling my sister, Heids and my pals.”

She continued: “I encouraged Stina to stay and fight because her and Kieran have something special, and I’m so happy they did I remember waking up the next day thinking… this is love.

“The conversations we had last night showed vulnerability, openness, kindness and it was beautiful.I hadn’t had those conversations with Caspar, maybe I should’ve, maybe things would have gone differently?

“But I know I do open up for the right people My lord Stina knows how much that night meant to me, she’s a f*cking diamond.”
