Are Lauren and Eliot from Married at First Sight still together? 

They’re already shaping up to be a dramatic couple…

A new season of Married at First Sight Australia (aka MAFS) has just begun, meaning there’s a slate of new couples…

And among the 2025 couples are Lauren and Eliot. Or should we say were?

Are Lauren and Eliot still together? 

MAFS isn’t known for its success rate, so it’s fair to wonder whether Lauren and Eliot are still together. 

The short answer is no.

The long answer is that on the first night of their honeymoon, Eliot ranted to Lauren and the MAFS producers that he didn’t get what he wanted.

“We’re not really right for each other,” Eliot declared after repeatedly saying he didn’t like that Lauren was older than him and all about ‘expensive handbags’.

It’s paramount to note that Lauren did not say that expensive handbags were important to her.

“Eliot is being mean; making generalisations of me,” Lauren told producers.

“He’s so annoying. Can’t stand him,” she added.

The next morning, Eliot decided to leave.

As he was packing his bags, Lauren tried to convince him to stay.

“You’ve made an assumption… You don’t know anything about me,” she said before asking him to give her and the MAFS experiment a chance.

“This is not a constructive conversation. There’s no upside for me,” Eliot bluntly responded before abandoning Lauren.

Lauren then admitted to producers how disappointed she was.

“He’s robbing me of this experience. I know that I can be difficult and Eliot isn’t what I’d normally choose. But I was still willing to try… To learn from the experts and see what I can do better [in relationships].”

It’s a surprise as the couple hit it off when they married at first sight.

Eliot — who drew some raised eyebrows at the bucks night for having very high standards —was immediately taken with his bride. 

“You look incredible,” he told Lauren as soon as she’d finished walking down the aisle. 

And Lauren was as equally impressed with her groom.

“He’s a perfect gentleman. I definitely think Eliot could bring out a romantic side in me,” she told producers during the wedding reception. 

Of course, Lauren’s sister Tamara caused a bit of a stir during the reception (read all about that and learn about Tamara herself here). 

And while Eliot admitted to producers that he found Tamara’s behaviour “off-putting,” he was ultimately happy about being paired with Lauren.

What a short-lived happiness!

Lauren and Eliot are now the first of the 2025 MAFS couples to officially split.

C’est la vie, we guess.
