Ashleigh and Jake — from this year’s Married at First Sight (MAFS) — sure had a short relationship.
At first, things looked promising for Ashleigh, a 34-year-old dance studio owner, and Jake, a 30-year-old high school teacher.
During the casting process, they both described themselves as “quirky,” and their attraction was instant on their wedding day.
“She’s gorgeous, like wow!” Jake exclaimed as his bride walked down the aisle.

Echoing that sentiment, Ashleigh gushed to MAFS producers after the ceremony.
“I definitely like what I see; he’s beautiful. [And] he’s got a good vibe about him,” she said.
Are Ashleigh and Jake still together?
Sadly, things fell apart for the couple during the Photo Ranking challenge.
Ashleigh was shocked when Jake said Jacqui had “crazy eyes,” Sierah looked like she’d “stand at the end of your bed with a knife,” and that Awhina wasn’t attractive to him as he tends only to be attracted to “Caucasian” women.

Ashleigh called him out for his inappropriate comments immediately, but Jake got upset and defensive, saying it was all just a joke.
To unwind, Ashleigh went and had a drink with Sierah but then ended up telling her everything her husband had said…
Ashleigh quickly came clean to Jake and apologised for telling Sierah but he said he felt “betrayed.”
And this ultimately led to him writing ‘leave’ during the first Commitment Ceremony.

However, Jake couldn’t leave the experiment. This is because, as per MAFS rules, Ashleigh wrote ‘stay,’ hoping the two could overcome this hurdle.
But damned be the rules! Jake packed his bags the next morning and left.
So it seems safe to say that the couple are not still together…
