MAFS Star Domenica Calarco Reportedly Dating First Husband Luke Rodley’s Best Friend
Domenica Calarco is dating again but this is not what netizens had expected!
The Married At First Sight (MAFS) star Domenica Calarco has a new boyfriend in her life!
The dating life of Calarco has sparked speculation after her separation from her on-screen husband, Jack Millar.
In a recent episode of her podcast, Sit With Us, Calarco candidly revealed that she was actively seeking love once again after failing to find a happy ending on the show.
During her podcast discussion, she accidentally let slip that she had been on multiple dates with a mysterious man from Melbourne, expressing her excitement about their budding connection.
“We are seeing each other again, which is really nice, and I’m actually excited,” she added and described him as a true gentleman.
According to multiple sources, it has been alleged that her new boyfriend is none other than Jack Norris, who happened to be the best man at her wedding to her ex-husband, Luke Rodley.

The claim was made by a friend of Calarco and Rodley during Megan Pustetto’s episode 297 of the So Dramatic! podcast.
The insider disclosed that Norris had been a best friend of Rodley’s since childhood and had played a significant role in their wedding ceremony as the best man — Calarco’s first wedding.
“It sounds like it started over six months ago. We’re all utterly shocked and livid. She also said she’s been close with him since before MAFS but went on it anyway,” the insider said.
According to a source, their inner circle was unaware that Calarco and Norris had reconnected until recently.
Domenica Calarco’s relationship with her first husband Luke Rodley
Calarco and her first husband, Rodley, had been together for four years before they decided to take their relationship to the next level and officially tie the knot in 2019.

Their extravagant wedding was featured in The Daily Telegraph, with Calarco wearing a custom Steven Khalil bridal gown worth $15,000 and exchanging vows in front of 140 guests at a Catholic church in Randwick, Sydney.
However, the marriage quickly crumbled. A family friend revealed that Rodley was taken by surprise when Calarco abruptly ended their relationship after just two months of marriage.
The family friend told Yahoo Lifestyle: “[Her first husband] couldn’t believe it when Domenica ended things after two months. He thought they’d be together forever and had no idea she wasn’t happy.”
Desperate to win her back, Rodley turned to Calarco’s family for guidance, seeking advice on how to mend their broken bond. Unfortunately, her family told him not to bother as Calarco had made up her mind, and there was no chance of reconciliation.

That said, it has now been reported that Calarco’s marriage with her first husband ended after Rodley found out Calarco was cheating on him, and he walked in when Calarco was intimate with her secret beau in the house that she and Rodley shared.
Domenica Calarco spoke about her first husband with her second husband Jack Millar
Following her divorce from Rodley, she participated in season 9 of the reality TV show MAFS in 2022, where she met Jack Millar and found an instant connection.
During their wedding night, Calarco hesitantly disclosed her ex-husband to Millar, revealing that her first marriage lasted only two months.
“I was in a four-year relationship and I was married for two months. I was really worried to open up to you about it because I didn’t know how you would react,” she said.

When asked about the reasons behind the end of her first marriage, the reality TV star candidly admitted to Millar that she wasn’t happy.
“I wasn’t happy, and I wasn’t happy six months before we got married and I shouldn’t have gone through with it – but I did,” she said.
That said, Calarco and her second husband, Millar, called it quits just a few months after getting married, and now Millar is in a happy relationship with Love Island star Courtney Stubbs.

Emmy-Nominated Hair Department Head Rukey Styles’ Work Is Often Influenced By Her Own Experiences
“I started doing my own hair and realized I may have a desire to make people beautiful,” Rukey Styles says.
![Rukey Styles' Work Is Often Influenced By Her Own Experiences](https://glamourbuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Rukey-Styles-x-Glamour-Buff-.jpg)
In the realm of television and film, where visual storytelling is paramount, the art of hairstyling plays a crucial role in bringing characters to life. Among the celebrated artists in this field is Rukey Styles, an Emmy-nominated Hair Department Head renowned for her innovative and culturally rich contributions.
Rukey’s illustrious career spans an impressive array of projects, from the high-stakes world of Divergent to the gritty realism of Chicago Med, each showcasing her exceptional talent and unique perspective on beauty.
Her most recent work on Disney‘s Saturdays – aired from March 24 to May 12, 2023 – has garnered significant attention, not just for its vibrant portrayal of Afro-American culture but also for its heartfelt depiction of a youth-driven, diverse narrative.
As Rukey continues to shape the landscape of hairstyling in film and television, we had the opportunity to delve into her journey and creative process in an exclusive interview. She shared insights into her early life, revealing how her upbringing influenced her perspective on beauty and hairstyling.
She recounted pivotal moments and influences that led her to the entertainment industry, and detailed her approach to incorporating Afro-American culture into the vibrant, youth-driven world of Disney’s Saturdays. Additionally, she discussed the significance of her Emmy nomination for Outstanding Makeup and Hairstyling and her aspirations for the future.
1. Can you share a bit about your early life and how your upbringing or experiences shaped your perspective on beauty and hairstyling?
Rukey: I grew up in a single-family middle-class home. Because my mother knew that her strength was in teaching children to read and not doing children’s hair, she sent me to the salon regularly. I didn’t appreciate beauty and the efforts that went into it until I saw myself and how I wanted to be seen. After somewhat growing up in my hairstylist’s chair, I started doing my own hair and realized I may have a desire to make people beautiful. Me being around my sister’s boyfriend, who was a hairstylist, created more interest in hair artistry for me.
2. Many individuals find unique paths into the entertainment industry. What were some pivotal moments or influences that led you to pursue a career in hairstyling for film and television?
Rukey: Before starting in the film and TV industry, I had a business where I performed non-surgical hair restoration services. Doing this allowed me to really focus on the little details that people who are not feeling like themself because of their hair loss would pay attention to. This detailing is what influenced them looking natural or like their pre hairloss self. It is because of my wig experience knowledge that led to the opportunity to work in theater, then TV, then FILM.
Work on Disney’s Saturdays:
3. “Saturdays” is garnering attention for its unique portrayal of a diverse cast and its celebration of Afro-American style. How did you approach incorporating Afro-American culture into the hair designs for the characters in the show?
Rukey: Well, this wasn’t hard to do. I was once these characters – young African American adolescent from the southside of Chicago. I saw my childhood in them, I used to go to the skating rink on Saturdays. My mother was a real skater. Like Paris, this was also my experience. It was just a matter of breaking down the characters to see who wears what style. I wanted each girl to have her own look that was unique to her character’s personality, including certain embellishments.
4. The series follows a trio of friends creating an all-girls skate crew. How did you collaborate with the creative team to ensure that the characters’ hairstyles reflected both their individuality and the vibrant, youth-driven theme of the show?
Rukey: Everything starts with the words on the script. After taking notes from the script, I consult with the creators to make sure I see the characters as they wrote them. Then I talk to the actors to collaborate based on the character’s core styling, what my bosses want and learn the actor’s comfort level with the direction, throwing suggestions back and forth sometimes making changes and also creating alongside makeup and wardrobe.
Inspirations Behind Hair Looks:
5. In “Saturdays,” the characters’ hairstyles seem to carry a sense of nostalgia. Can you share some specific inspirations or references that influenced the hair designs, and how you balanced nostalgia with a modern, youth-oriented approach?
Rukey: You learn that there isn’t much new under the sun. Innovation in hairstyling can be combining existing, familiar, elements in new ways to create a new look.
There may be slight iterations that can make it an ode to the former style. Being innovative may mean combing 2 or more familiar components to create a new look overall.
We took the opportunity to style the 3 besties, incorporating throwback elements, such as the 1990s music video style, into the performance scenes, like the cypher scene that was reminiscent of a 1990’s music video in style of filming cinematically, wardrobe, makeup and hair. There was also an opportunity to do “Paris,” played by Danielle Jalade, in a TBoz inspired natural short style with braided sideburns and, “Ari,” played by Peyton Z Basnight, having 2 large ponytails and these and others were opportunities to pay homage to iconic styles of the past.
Emmy Nomination and Award Submissions:
6. Congratulations on your Emmy nomination for Outstanding Makeup and Hairstyling! What does this recognition mean to you, especially considering the impact of your work on “Saturdays” and other projects?
Rukey: Thank you, Arun. We learned about our nomination for the Children and Family Emmys, shortly after I wrapped “Saturdays”. It was great to feel seen as an artist. I remember explaining why I chose certain hair directions such as the father Trey, played by Bryan Clark. His hair changed over the years from a texturizer to natural locs because of the influence of his naturalista wife. I mean how many couples have we seen who were together for years start looking alike?
7. You’ve recently submitted your work on “Saturdays” for the MUAH awards. What aspects of the show’s makeup and hairstyling do you believe stand out and contribute to its potential success in this category?
Rukey: Our hair department did some crazy, fun stuff on “Saturdays”. I hope that our work and approach is noticed as being creative, informative, realistic and appropriately over the top when needed.
8. Looking ahead, what are your aspirations and goals in the realm of hairstyling for film and television? Are there specific projects or themes you hope to explore in the future?
Rukey: I have been blessed to work on projects that encompass a wide range of hairstyling needs, including period, glam, fantasy, character, contemporary, aging, special effects, and ethnic hairstyling. Any story can require a combination of these styles. I want to work on a project that will give space for styling that is authentic to the storyline and character growth, allowing my team. to bring out the essence of the narrative through hairstyling.
When all things are in alignment, including a great story and a dedicated team of cohesive collaborators, with me as the department head of hair, we can collectively bring out the best in my work and creativity. This effort will ultimately lead to the recognition of our hairstyling skills.
9. Finally, for emerging hairstylists inspired by your journey, do you have any advice or insights you’d like to share about breaking into the industry and thriving in a competitive field?
Rukey: Be well rounded because there’s no productions where all the actors wear the same hairstyle (If so, it’s a comedy) lol. Learn as much as you can about all hair types and textures.
Work in a salon, mess up some stuff so you can learn how to fix it. It’s about knowing what you do so well that you can do it promptly with ease but also can get the same result multiple ways if needed.
The interview was originally held in December 2023.
