Seven Year Switch Shock Divorce .the Reality Tv Couple Has Called It Quits Just a Year After They Tied the Knot
Only 14 months after their romantic wedding day, controversial Seven Year Switch couple Brad and Tallena have ended their marriage.
‘I realised I’d been sacrificing my own happiness to make Brad happy, so in the end I had to be selfish and put myself first,’ Tallena says sadly, revealing the split exclusively to New Idea.
‘It was a really hard conversation for us to have, but we both knew it wasn’t working. We weren’t getting what we wanted from one another any more.’ Fans of the hit reality show warned Tallena against 32-year-old builder Brad’s ‘obsessive’ and ‘controlling’ behaviour when their relationship ran into strife on air during the first season in 2016.
But the Queensland couple, who met on dating site Tinder four years ago, insisted their love was never in doubt and tied the knot at Pelican Waters Golf Resort & Spa on April 16 last year, followed by a honeymoon in Bali.
Sadly, however, Tallena continued to struggle with anxiety and the pressure of new-found fame – ‘It was really weird, we were even recognised overseas’ – while ‘communication and compromise’ became flash points in their all-too-brief marriage.

Yuletide ANGELS
When Renee Speranza and Dom Orlando tell people they are Christmas tree stylists, the assumption is they're hired by people who have cash to splash, and live in homes that require enormous and perfectly styled decorations. While this can be true, the pair, both mums, also work with families who need help for some very different reasons.
