Are Jacqui and Ryan from Married at First Sight still together? 

In short, no; she's actually moved on with another MAFS groom!

This year’s Married at First Sight (MAFS) couple Jacqui and Ryan were tumultous to say the least.

For starters, just like their fellow MAFS participants Katie and Tim, and Awhina and Adrian, there were a few awkward moments during the wedding day. 

As an example, Jacqui became extremely annoyed during the photo shoot when, after shivering multiple times, Ryan didn’t offer her his jacket. 

“I had to tell Ryan a few times. I’m sorry… But I don’t want to explain to anyone that that’s what they should do. I want them to want it themselves. I can’t make someone want to be a man. You know, either he is a man or he’s not,” she said to producers. After which she broke down in tears. 

“There are just so many s**t men out there and I’m so sick of being single and independent… I don’t want to be the one in the lead and it’s hurtful when I have to do it,” Jacqui said between sobs.

As the experiment continued, Jacqui and Ryan continually argued with one another and it was clear to viewers and their fellow MAFS participants alike that they were a toxic couple, and they were both to blame.

For instance, Jacqui constantly brought up the Photo Challenge, unable to accept Ryan ranked her third.

And Ryan wrongfully told the other male participants that Jacqui “gives great h**d.”

The biggest hurdle was the showdown the couple had during intruders Beth and Teejay‘s wedding; the morning of, Jacqui gave Ryan an extensive list of things she didn’t like about him.

Then, after hearing Teejay’s vows, Jacqui reiterated to Ryan that he wasn’t living up to her standards.

Ryan became upset but asked Jacqui to drop it as they were at a wedding and should talk about their issues later and in private.

But Jacqui being Jacqui, couldn’t let it go and before long, most of this year’s MAFS participants were involved. And unsurprisingly, all of them agreed that Jacqui writing a list of Ryan’s “flaws” was cruel.

However, Jacqui lied, telling everyone that she never made that list and Ryan was “gaslighting” them all.

So, are Jacqui and Ryan still together?

Well, it looked like the couple were going to end things after Beth and Teejay’s wedding.

But off-camera the two somehow patched things up and were lovey dovey right up until Homestays Week.

During this week, Jacqui unleashed on Ryan. She said he had a “small brain.” And she critiqued everything about him from his beard to how he walks his dog.

She then got into a screaming match with his friends.

The two didn’t see each other until that week’s dinner party. Jacqui walked in expecting an apology from Ryan but when he didn’t give her one, she asked, “Why don’t you want to be someone great?”

At the final Commitment Ceremony of the season, Ryan asked to leave, saying he realised he would never live up to Jacqui’s standards and that they just weren’t right for each other.

However, Jacqui asked to stay.

Everyone, including expert John Aiken was gobsmacked, and he bluntly asked her whether she thought it a relationship worth saving. Jacqui said yes, to which he replied, “Well, you’ve got some heavylifting to do in the final week.”

During this week, Jacqui did apologise to Ryan and seemed to get back in his good graces by writing a list of things she likes about him.

However, Ryan ultimately broke it off with her at the Final Vows.

“I feel we aren’t strong enough to continue this marriage… I will be walking away from this relationship,” he said.

Jacqui – in a complete 180 from the prior week – had nothing positive to say about Ryan.

“It’s not me, your pride is the problem,” she said in her vows.

“So today, I choose peace and to walk away from this relationship. Ryan, in a world of red flags, you are the red carpet,” she continued before bizarrely adding:

“Ryan, while I love it when your big biceps pick me up, dip me, and throw me in the pool, they’ll never be the reason I get pregnant. Goodbye,” she concluded before immediately walking away with a Cheshire cat smile on her face.

“Goodbye and thanks for all the criticism. You haven’t grown a bit. Not one bit. Be gone with you, you horrible woman,” Ryan shouted after her.

Suffice to say, the couple are no longer together.

And in a shocking twist (or not so shocking if you found Jacqui’s second Instagram account where she went rogue and spoiled this season’s ending weeks ago), Jacqui is now dating Clint.

Yes, the same Clint who was paired with Lauren!

They’ll hard launch their relationship during the upcoming Reunion episodes.

The final two ‘Reunion’ episodes of Married at First Sight will air on Channel 9 and 9now on Sunday, April 6 and Monday, April 7.
