Married At First Sight UK’s Jordan shares posts from US holiday – but wife Chanita is nowhere to be seen
MARRIED At First Sight star Jordan Emmett-Connelly has sparked split rumours from Chanita Stephenson as he holidays ‘alone’.
Account manager Jordan, 29 tied the knot with social worker Chanita, 29, and their romance have been going from strength to strength, despite a few bumps in the road.
The pair came to blows at the last commitment ceremony over Jordan’s “clumsiness”, but they managed to put it behind them and agreed to fight for the relationship.
However, Jordan took to social media today to share photos from his holiday in California, but Chanita is nowhere to be seen.
He posted a series of photos of him posing alone and other clips of the scenery at La Jolla Cove in San Diego.
The star also appeared to be enjoying a cocktail on his own.

There has been plenty of drama on the popular E4 show and things heated up after Thomas and Chanita clashed last week.
Chanita, her husband Jordan, Thomas and his husband Adrian had a tense encounter as they arrived for a group reunion.
The drama kicked off after Chanita asked Thomas if he had a problem with her, after rumours circulated that he had been gossiping behind her back.
Thomas denied it and claimed April had been slagging off Chanita to him.

The dinner party erupted into a screaming match as the group tried to get to the bottom of the rumours.
However, April was not present to defend herself, leaving the matter unresolved.
Elsewhere, cracks in Chanita and Jordan’s relationship came to light after she snapped at him during the Honesty Box challenge.
Chanita told her hubby to ‘concentrate’ when reading out a question.
But her off the cuff remark did not go down well, and he was left feeling wounded.
The situation worsened when she made a comment about his “clumsiness” which left the lad in tears at the commitment ceremony.
Chanita has revealed that the couples have to keep their relationship very private and away from social media until the series ends.
A fan asked the Derby-based contestant how they remain undercover before the show is aired if they continue the relationship.
“You’ve basically got a secret relationship, you’re not allowed to post each other, it’s very on the down-low,” she explained.

“The same with the friendships you make as well, so many dirty little secrets.
“We are limited, we aren’t allowed to give any spoilers away, that’s why I’m very tight-lipped.”

Instagram’s new test lets you mute specific words from suggested posts
Instagram is giving users more ways to tweak their suggested posts amid a backlash to the app’s aggressive shift toward recommendations. The app is testing a new option that will allow users to use keywords and emoji to mute certain topics from appearing in suggested posts.
The change will block posts in which the users’ keywords, which can include emoji as well as words and phrases, appear in the caption or hashtag for a post. “You can use this feature to stop seeing content that’s not interesting to you,” Instagram writes in a blog post. Users can customize their filter words from the app’s settings. The company notes that people can also opt to snooze all recommendations entirely.
Instagram is also testing a new way to weed out unwanted posts from the app’s Explore section. With the change, users can select multiple posts at a time and mark them all as “not interested.” This will hide those posts, and block out similar recommendations in the future, according to the company.
While both new options require a bit of extra work, the changes could bring some relief for users’ who have been frustrated by the quality of Instagram’s recommendations as the app has taken increasingly aggressive steps to become more like TikTok. Instagram’s top exec Adam Mosseri said last month the company would tone down the number of recommended posts and halt its experiment with a full-screen feed. Both changes have been deeply unpopular, prompting viral memes criticizing the company’s efforts to copy TikTok.
Regardless of criticism, Meta’s leaders have been clear that they intend to shift both Facebook and Instagram’s feeds from mostly friend content to more posts from AI-driven recommendations. But the new controls could help the company eventually improve the quality of those suggestions, which might make them more palatable to users in the long run.
Meta links Instagram’s NFT posts to Facebook as the market for ‘digital collectibles’ tanks
Meta has been testing support for NFT “digital collectible” posts on Instagram since May, and if you’re among the expanding group of people with access, then you can now share posts with your blockchain-verified items on Facebook as well. According to an updated blog post from the company, it’s “started giving people the ability to post digital collectibles that they own across both Facebook and Instagram,” after they connect their digital wallets to either platform.
The posts will basically look like normal posts, according to a screenshot the company tweeted, but will have a badge marking them as a “digital collectible.”

Instagram just quietly added QR codes for posts
I hate to squash the hopes of QR code haters, but it appears to bet one piece of pandemic tech that’s here to stay.
Users on Instagram can now share posts, Reels, tags, and locations on its searchable Map experience through QR codes. Plenty of people hate the QR code experience thwarted onto us by the pandemic, but, as TechCrunch reported, there is reason to believe it can be effective in marketing campaigns.
QR code sharing is now an option for all users on the app. All you have to do is click the three-dot menu on any Reel, post, or location, click “QR code” on the top right, and save it to your camera roll. You can also add “/qr” to a post’s URL on a browser to generate a QR code.
Meta, the company that owns Instagram, told Mashable that they made the decision in order “to make it easier for people and businesses to share specific content.”
This isn’t an entirely new avenue for Instagram, which has allowed users to share profiles through QR codes of their profiles for years now — just take a look at the stickers dotting subway cars. (It should be noted that this original choice to add QR codes was a pretty direct copy of Snapchat at the time. Classic Instagram.) This is the first time you can do that for individual posts, though.
It’s not difficult to see who might benefit from this change. I’m thinking about musicians sharing show information, artists selling their work and, of course, restaurants (hint: users who use Instagram to make money).
Personally, I have never had the drive to share my Instagram posts via QR code.
