Cathy Evans confirms she’s in a relationship after failing to connect with ‘husband’ Josh Pihlak

Cathy Evans and Josh Pihlak’s relationship started off strong on Married At First Sight, but it wasn’t to be.

And on Monday, Cathy, 26 confirmed she’s moved on from her MAFS groom and has since settled down and is head-over-heels in love with a new mystery man.

Speaking to Yahoo, the Sydney based make-up artist announced: ‘I’ve found someone so much better now’.

‘I really tried so hard in the relationship and, if anything, it was a blessing that it didn’t work out,’ she admitted of her failed romance with Newcastle-based truck driver Josh.

Cathy also told the publication that her stint on MAFS helped her build character development and realise she’s a ‘strong and patient person’.

While she refused to reveal any details about the identify of her new beau, she insisted: ‘They’re just a private person, they’re not a person who’s famous or anything, it’s just a normal citizen of Australia’.

On Friday, the reality star showed off her bust and long-wavy blonde hair in a cryptic message. ‘Thinking bout you,’ she wrote alongside the playful selfie. 

After a bitter breakup with Josh, Cathy admitted she was feeling nervous about seeing ex at the reunion dinner during last Tuesday’s episode of Married At First Sight.

Smiling confidently as she walked into the group dinner party, Cathy confessed she was keen to ‘avoid a conversation with Josh’.

Despite her nerves, Cathy greeted Josh with a warm embrace, with her 28-year-old ex telling her she looked ‘beautiful’.  

‘To be honest, I was not expecting to see Josh that quickly,’ she confessed, clearly caught off-guard by the moment.

A rattled Cathy then told the group she was ‘going to get a drink’, before having a mini panic attack at the beverage table.
