Married at First Sight star Amber Martorana couldn't be more grateful for the people who have been reaching out to her once Dave Flaherty revealed on the Season 7 reunion special he wants a divorce.

During Tuesday night's Married at First Sight reunion special on Lifetime, Amber -- who struggled with insecurities about her appearance and the extent of Dave's feelings for her all season long -- was asked by host Samantha Harris what the reaction has been from fans.

"I don't think I have any fans, that's for sure," Amber replied with a little bit of an awkward laugh.
But she was proven wrong! On Wednesday, Amber posted an image on her Instagram account that reads, "Blossoming into a badass woman with more faith than fear."

And in the caption, the blonde turned brunette wrote, "So I guess I do have fans."
"I'm so touched and honestly a little overwhelmed by the support I'm receiving," Amber continued.
"It was definitely challenging having my journey play out on t.v., but to be able to relate, connect and be encouraged by so many people has made it all worth it."
Some fans told Amber she deserves better than Dave and her husband didn't appreciate her beauty and quirkiness. Others suggested Amber has dodged a bullet through Dave leaving the marriage and she handled their public split with "dignity and grace."
One of Amber's followers on social media went as far as to call Dave an "egotistical assh-le."

Amber revealed on the reunion special her relationship with Dave went "downhill" after "Decision Day" because the fact she had previously dated his friend from the gym was "a bigger issue than I had realized."

Following numerous fights, Amber moved out of the house without giving Dave any warning. Although Amber admitted she had made a mistake, regretted leaving, and wanted to fight for her marriage, Dave had already checked out.
"Honestly, I don't think we'll be able to reconcile things. We both hoped we would be in a different place right now, but I think the reality is just that it's not," Dave confessed on the reunion show.
Dave later added, "I think I put everything into this and it didn't work out... I think I deserve a little more credit than giving up after I found out she had dated a friend."

Married at First Sight experts Pastor Calvin Roberson, Dr. Pepper Schwartz and Dr. Jessica Griffin attempt to convince Dave to give Amber another chance and maybe go through a couple months of counseling before officially filing for divorce.
Dave, however, rejected all suggestions and advice, confirming he wants to end the marriage and move on with his life.
