Receipts are emerging in the bitter he-said-she-said dispute between reality star exes, following the release of footage showing Love Island star Jared Elborne allegedly taking a dog from the home of his ex-girlfriend.
The scandal erupted earlier this week when CCTV footage from April 20 was leaked of Jared taking Oakley the sausage dog from the home of his former partner Nicole Monaghan, who is set to appear on the upcoming season of MAFS.
Nicole wasn't at home at the time and was alarmed to later see footage of Jared taking the pup. Jared insisted that Nicole was aware he was collecting Oakley.
In a statement to the Daily Mail on Wednesday, issued via Channel Nine, Jared also insisted that the pair had split 'months before' he went to Nicole's property on April 20 to collect Oakley with her 'best friend'.
That explanation has infuriated Nicole, forcing her to break her silence and share with the Mail text messages and photos that she claims prove the real timeline of their relationship leading up to the alleged dognapping.
She says the screenshots prove their romance hadn't been over for 'months' by the time Jared paid a visit to her home to collect their dog, and they had in fact been loved up mere weeks earlier.

CCTV footage appeared to show Jared entering the property he once shared with Nicole on April 20 before opening a window and reaching inside to retrieve the animal. In a statement to the Mail on Wednesday, issued via Channel Nine, Jared insisted that the pair had split 'months before' he went to Nicole's property on April 20 to collect Oakley with her 'best friend'
A screenshot of a message dated March 21, 2026, shows Nicole writing: 'Jared just asked me to be his gf.'
Nicole also shared two photos timestamped from April, weeks prior to Jared being caught on camera taking Oakley. The first image, which was sent by Jared, was dated April 1 and showed the pair smiling on a rooftop terrace.
In this image, the two appeared very much like a couple, with Jared placing his hand around Nicole's waist as she leaned towards him.
A second photo, dated April 3 at 2.21pm, showed Jared and Nicole with their fingers threaded together but their faces out of the frame.
The Mail has also seen footage of Jared packing up his belongings at Nicole's home on April 7, suggesting the couple had only recently split before he was filmed taking Oakley.
The row first came to light after the Daily Mail obtained CCTV footage from April 20 that appeared to show Jared opening a window at the property and reaching inside to retrieve Oakley.
A friend close to Nicole previously claimed the pair had argued while Nicole was at work and that Jared had packed his belongings and moved out following the confrontation.
According to the friend, Jared then asked Nicole where Oakley was. She told him the dog was at home, only to return from work and find him gone. When she asked Jared what had happened, he allegedly told her Oakley was with one of her friends.
That explanation infuriated Nicole, forcing her to share with the Mail texts and photos that she claims prove the real timeline of their relationship leading up to the alleged dognapping. This photo, from weeks before the footage was captured, showed the pair on a cosy date

Jared gave a different account of the visit, saying he went to collect Oakley because Nicole's best friend was worried about the dog.
'We had split up months before this, and I went to the property with Nicole's best friend to collect Oakley as she was concerned about him,' he previously told the Daily Mail.
'Once Oakley was safely retrieved, I handed him into the care of her friend.'
It is understood Nicole initially threatened to contact police before arrangements were eventually made for the animal to be collected.
A source close to Nicole claims she attended a police station over the incident, but ultimately chose not to take the matter further because she still had feelings for her former partner.
