MAFS: Clare Reveals She and Husband Cameron Have Not ‘Kissed Nor Cuddled’ amid Intimacy Struggle (Exclusive)

Married at first sight’s Clare seeks advice on how to become more intimate with her husband Cameron.

In a PEOPLE exclusive sneak peek of this week’s episode of the Lifetime series, Clare admits to her co-stars Becca, Lauren and Emily that she and Cameron are “not the most physically likable” and asks for their advice.

“What are you usually like in past relationships?” Becca answers. “Like, are you super physically tender?”

Clare says candidly that she has “struggled with it in the past” because the men she’s dated before “weren’t willing to show me off in public or hold my hands so I think I’m used to it.”

“So it’s not the weirdest thing for me, but when I see you guys, I’m like, well, it’s kind of weird,” she continues. “The attraction you all have with your partners was instant, and that’s fair to say. exactly?”

Meanwhile, Cameron tells his male co-stars that he is ‘really attracted’ to Clare, adding: ‘I think she’s very attractive even though we’re not the most intimate people yet. I’m really looking forward to getting there.”

Clare is more direct about their struggles with intimacy, telling her co-stars: “We didn’t kiss or cuddle.”

“Did you hug?” Becca asks as Clare replies that they are.

Emily chimes in by asking who initiated the affection, and Becca and Lauren encourage her to return any affection she receives from Cameron.

“And he might not feel comfortable… Let it sit for a minute, will you?” says Becca.

“I mean, ladies, to be honest, I don’t even think he’s going to do that,” Clare clarifies.

Her colleagues reminded her that Cameron was tender at one point, as a flashback of him hugging her was shown.

“His body language was directed at you,” Lauren recalls. “Do your best to look for the good and the more you look for it, the more you will see it.”
