His father says the reality TV star was arrested on April 2, and had told his family he was “struggling” behind bars.
Andrew was featured on ‘MAFS’ back in 2017 … the reality dating show pairs random people together based on scientific matchmaking methods, and they meet for the first time on their wedding day.
AJ matched with Vicky Gleeson-Stokes … but they struggled to make their relationship work and didn’t last beyond the finale. Andrew ultimately bashed the show’s production.
