Taking the high road? Married At First Sight star Sam Ball shares an uplifting message with fans… after former love interest Ines Basic SLAMMED his bold new career path

Married At First Sight star Sam Ball appears to be taking the high road after his former love interest Ines Basic slammed his new military career in a recent interview.

In an Instagram post on Sunday, Sam, 27, shared a selfie from his bedroom, drawing attention to his newly shaved head, alongside an uplifting message for his fans. 

‘Good morning. I hope everyone has an amazing day with loved ones, washing their sins away from the previous week with copious amounts of coffee,’ Sam captioned the photo, taken inside a bedroom in Shoal Bay, New South Wales.

The one-time reality star showed off his tattooed and buff physique in a black muscle tank and grey shorts, but most eye-catching was his newly shaved head.

Sam perched trendy sunglasses on top of his head and beamed for the camera.  

Just a day prior, Ines, who engaged in a steamy on-screen affair with Sam on the 2019 season of Married At First Sight, told The Wash that Sam’s new military career ‘doesn’t make sense’ to her.

‘How can you be scared of girls but you’ve just joined the army where you’ll be sent [to] Afghanistan and there’s going to be bombs dropping everywhere,’ the 30-year-old said, adding that ‘it just doesn’t make sense’.   

Ines also criticised Sam for failing to give her answers about why he stood her up at the MAFS reunion finale in 2019.  

‘To this day he hasn’t owned up to anything. Two million people tuned in to watch the reunion and he just didn’t show up,’ she told the publication.   

Not holding back: 'How can you be scared of girls but you've just joined the army where you'll be sent [to] Afghanistan and there's going to be bombs dropping everywhere,' the 30-year-old said, adding that 'it just doesn't make sense'

‘He came up with the most pathetic excuses. He was saying I was treating him badly. I call bulls**t.’

Ines’ comments come as Sam re-appeared on Instagram earlier this month after a six-month hiatus to ‘put 110 per cent into new opportunities’.

He returned with a dramatic new look – swapping his styled hair and thick beard for a clean-shaven chin and head.
