During the explosive MAFS UK reunion last week, Nathan, 24, claimed he had messages from Lacey, 27, suggesting they cash in on their fame with a “showmance” after their split.
But now a pal close to Lacey has said she is shocked by the new romance and believes Nathan was only in it for the “fame”.
They told The Sun: “Lacey can’t believe after Nathan making out she was the fame hungry one he’s now seeing a girl from Love Island.”
“She feels like this is what he always wanted and that’s fame.
“He spoke about wanting to be a model and be in a boy band and do I’m A Celeb.”
The friend also said Lacey is convinced his new relationship is simply for prolong his career in the industry.
“She thinks the whole thing is for publicity and proves her point that it wasn’t a one way street he wanted a showmance too,” they added.
“This just got edited out.”
The Sun have reached out to Lacey’s rep for comment.
The Sun revealed yesterday that Nathan had moved on with Abi.
The pair teased their new romance today as she both shared pictures holding hands with a mystery person during a relaxing spa date.
Abi has also been keeping fans up to date with her dates on TikTok, without naming Nathan.
She has shared her past three meetings with him as they go from strength to strength.
It comes just days after Nathan’s very fiery reunion with Lacey aired during a MAFS special last week.
The pair were seen rowing and exchanging insults as they thrashed out the details of their failed marriage.
And during the explosive show Nathan revealed why he split from his show bride.
Catching up with former co-star Kieran Chapman, Nathan said: “After the experiment she was completely different.
“I was going to see her every weekend, she never came to see me once in the whole relationship, never.”
Lacey has since defended herself after Nathan claimed she wanted to pursue a “showmance”.
Many viewers were left puzzled when he didn’t share the messages despite referencing them several times.
Now Lacey has revealed why Nathan was reluctant to show them, claiming they prove he was lying about ending their relationship.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Lacey said: “Do you know why he wasn’t showing them? They edited this out.
“He got his phone out and started reading the texts. In them he said ‘sorry I didn’t text you about the Race For Life’.”
Lacey insists she actually ended their relationship when Nathan failed to wish her luck ahead of the race, something she does every year after her mum battled cancer.
She continued: “I went, ‘Oh, so you didn’t message me for Race For Life?’ But they cut everything out.”
Lacey has been targeted by vicious trolls since the reunion episode, with them branding her a “narcissist” and a “gaslighter”.
But she insists all of her responses to Nathan’s accusations were cut from the final show.
Lacey said: “They’ve edited it to make me out as this villain.
“It was completely off. They cut out all of my responses to Nathan and it looks like I just accepted what he was saying, which isn’t fair.”
She added: “I would be lying if I said I wasn’t struggling. I just wish Nathan would put out a statement – I feel like that would really help the situation.”
