Despite appearing content at the show’s first dinner party on Monday, they were spotted looking tense just a few days later in Sydney.
In images obtained by Daily Mail Australia in October, millionaire James appeared to keep his distance from ‘wife’ Joanne as they filmed for the series.

James, who made his ‘first million’ in his late 20’s, appeared to treat the pair to a cheeky McDonald’s drive-thru run after filming Monday’s dinner party.
However, their frosty display appears to hint something will happen between the pair in the coming episodes.
The show’s resident ‘love expert’ John Aiken revealed on Monday that the couples would be moving in together immediately, adding the ‘honeymoon is now well and truly over’.
‘You will need to get along with one another, learn about personal space and really get into the nitty gritty of your relationship,’ he told the couples at the dinner party.
The couples were photographed moving into SKYE Suites Sydney in late September, and remained there until the final vows were filmed in December.

While moving in together could begin a relationship breakdown for the couple, claims of an explosive new therapy session could also be behind their tension.
The 2021 brides and grooms will have their trust tested during a new ‘confession week’ segment, when they are forced to ‘rank’ other people in the experiment.
According to TV Week Magazine, couples Coco Stedman and Sam Carraro and Jo and James both come unstuck due to the eyebrow-raising game.
The hairdresser is believed to trigger James’ trust issues in the experiment by listing hunky groom Jake Edwards above James.
‘My type is very rugged, unshaven, messy hair, tattoos and piercings,’ she reportedly says in the upcoming episode.
James is said to become suspect of Jo’s interest in Jake amid the confession.
