Feeling left out, McGarty excused herself from the discussion, confiding in Tom Read Wilson about her struggles after the breakup. She expressed her yearning for a family, saying, “I really want a family. I’d love to be a mommy, and a wife.” Wilson encouraged her to prioritize her personal growth and talents.
Support From David Bracken
Despite their recent separation, David Bracken has shown his support for McGarty. After her parachute entrance into the jungle, he shared a heartfelt message on his Instagram Stories, posting a photograph of the couple with the encouraging caption, “Let’s go girl! You got this.”
The news of their breakup was confirmed recently, with sources indicating that the pair maintains a friendly relationship. They realized they had different aspirations but parted amicably, remaining friends.
