Married At First Sight star Lauren Dunn has revealed that her ex-partner, retired AFL player Ryan Crowley, is now living just 1km from her Perth home after being released on bail following recent court proceedings.

Dunn, who appeared on the 2024 season of the hit reality dating show, took to Instagram on Saturday to share her reaction after Crowley, 41, was granted bail last week.

Crowley faced Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday over domestic violence-related charges stemming from an alleged incident at a property in Claremont on Tuesday.

During the hearing, the court was told that the pair had a five-year on-off relationship between 2018 and 2023. Crowley, through his legal representative, denied the severity of the claims and disputed the physical allegations made against him.

He was released on bail after a $20,000 surety was provided and was ordered not to leave Western Australia. As part of his bail conditions, he is prohibited from contacting Dunn.

On social media, Dunn shared her reaction to the situation with her 246,000 Instagram followers.

‘My ex found someone to pay his $20k bond and the WA courts released him to a residence 1km away from my home in Perth,’ she wrote.

‘This is a good indicator for how our justice system values the lives of women,’ she added, thanking WA Police for their ongoing support.

She also responded to online comments questioning her past decisions.

‘Not that I owe anyone an explanation … His newest tactic is telling me he’s dying and has no one and is at the lowest point of his life’ she said.

‘I am not a monster and I was in a moment of weakness so I said [he could] come over to talk about it…’

During Thursday’s court proceedings, it was alleged that a verbal disagreement took place after Dunn invited Crowley over.

The court heard that tensions escalated following the discovery of email messages on her laptop, which prosecutors claimed led to a physical altercation.

According to police allegations presented in court, Dunn called emergency services but reportedly hung up, saying the call was made in error.

Prosecutors alleged that during the incident, Dunn’s phone was taken, and she was prevented from leaving the home.

Further allegations presented in court included claims of physical restraint and that Dunn lost consciousness during the encounter.

Crowley is accused of remaining at the residence overnight and of allegedly preventing her from leaving the following morning.

It was also alleged that Dunn escaped via a bathroom window and sought refuge at a nearby café, where she messaged a friend.

Police later arrested Crowley at Perth Train Station.

Crowley is expected to reappear in court on July 24.

No pleas have been entered, and the matter remains before the courts.
