The 2025 season of Married at First Sight is well underway, and considering the reality show’s track record, it’s fair to wonder:
‘Who is still together from MAFS 2025?’
Here’s what we know so far…
Awhina and Adrian
Awhina and Adrian’s relationship has been hot and cold. One minute they’re good, and the next they’re fighting.
To backtrack, they got off to an awkward start when Adrian made a joke about having kids during the wedding ceremony — Awhina is a mother to a six-year-old.
However, the couple patched things up during the reception when Adrian said he was open to a relationship with Awhina, even though she had a child from a previous relationship.
Things were looking positive for a little while. Awhina and Adrian seemed happy on their honeymoon and were even intimate.
But the experts’ honeymoon box started a fight… Essentially, Adrian said he doesn’t know whether he can love Awhina’s son as much as his own hypothetical kids.
The couple quickly made up, though… Until, of course, it was revealed that Adrian and Sierah had opened up to one another about their past trauma.
Awhina was upset that Adrian hadn’t confided in her.
To make matters worse, Adrian seemingly left the experiment when he wasn’t selected for a MAFS publicity shoot.
Awhina returned to their apartment and noticed all of his things had been cleared out. Even his wedding ring was on the kitchen counter. She swiftly called Adrian, and he revealed that he’d gone home. When Awhina asked if he was coming back, he said:
“No, I’m not. I’m pissed off that I’m not in the promo, it’s disrespectful… I’m not coming back until they get me in the promo.”
Awhina then told producers, “I feel sick to my core… A publicity shoot is not what you come here for. Our marriage might be over.”
However, Adrian did return for the third dinner party. But he made no effort to apologise to Awhina, even when she discovered that he’d been out to dinner with Sierah.
This was the final straw for Awhina, and at the third Commitment Ceremony, she asked to leave. Sadly, Adrian wrote stay, meaning they had to stay in the experiment for another week.
During this week, Awhina and Adrian had lunch with her twin sister Cleo, his two sisters, and his friend Jasmine.
At the lunch, Adrian, his sisters and Jasmine practically ganged up on Awhina, accusing her of not trying hard enough and not “showing up” for Adrian.
Thankfully, Cleo defended Awhina. However, things got very heated. It ended with Adrian, his sisters and Jasmine storming out of the restaurant.
Awhina and Adrian didn’t see each other again until the fourth dinner party, and it was clear that Adrian blamed Awhina and Cleo for the lunch incident. And, again, he offered no apology.
Then, at the fourth Commitment Ceremony, Adrian constantly whispered to Awhina, “Don’t tell the experts what happened at lunch.”
Of course, as soon as Adrian and Awhina sat on the couch, Alessandra asked how the ‘meet the family’ lunch went. Adrian said it didn’t go well but wouldn’t go into more detail as it’d be “disrespectful” to talk about it.
Then (sadly) both Adrian and Awhina revealed that they wanted to stay in the experiment. Awhina said she feels like they “owe it to one another to try again.”
We’re of the opinion that the experts should’ve stepped in and ended their relationship as Adrian clearly treated Awhina poorly.
But, c’est la vie, during the couples retreat, Adrian and Awhina rekindled their romance and were in a “good place” right up until the final week.
The MAFS experts revealed that all of this year’s participants had other matches. They were asked whether or not they wanted to meet this person.
Both Awhina and Adrian decided to meet their other match; she met Tim and he met Maxine.
This led to a huge fight at the final dinner party of the season; Awhina realised that the relationship must not be serious if they were both willing to give a potential other match a go…
And at the Final Vows, both decided to end their relationship for good.
“You’re not my future right now. This is where our journey ends,” Awhina said in her vows.
“I think it’s best for both of us if I walk away,” Adrian said in his.
However, in a shocking twist, right after the two read their vows, Awhina randomly convinced Adrian to keep seeing each other outside of the experiment. They kissed and left hand in hand.
The couple then told (clearly confused) producers that they’re going to stay together and ‘see how they go.’
With that being said, Awhina has confirmed to several outlets that she and Adrian are no longer together; we’re hoping to get more details about their split during the Reunion episode, which is yet to air…
Jamie and Dave
Jamie and Dave were smitten with one another from the second they met.
And as the experiment continued, they got along like a house on fire. They were shaping up to be a very successful couple…
Right up until Jamie professed her love for Dave. He wasn’t ready to say it back, which is totally fine and Jamie understood.
But he put an obvious wall up and started acting strangely towards Jamie.
He even said, “I don’t hate the girl,” when a MAFS producer asked how he felt about Jamie – all of which is not fine.
And at the sixth dinner party, he reduced Jamie to tears…
At the sixth Commitment Ceremony, Dave did say he was willing to stay in the experiment and work on their issues. And Jamie agreed, saying Dave’s got one week to turn it all around.
And turn it around he did. The couple grew close again during Homestays Week, with both choosing to stay in the experiment at the final Commitment Ceremony of the season.
At the Final Vows, Dave confessed that he could see himself falling in love with Jamie and wanted to continue their relationship outside of the experiment.
However, during Jamie’s vows, for a hot minute, it seemed like she would break up with Dave.
“I’m concerned that your feelings will never match mine,” Jamie said. “I deserve to be loved Dave and I don’t know if I’m willing to wait to see if you get there.”
But then she revealed that despite her concerns, she wasn’t ready to let go of Dave yet, and wanted to continue seeing each other outside of the experiment.
Sadly, multiple outlets have reported that the two have since split.
We’re hoping all will be revealed in the Reunion episode, so watch this space…
Paul and Carina
Even though Paul and Carina previously dated and broke up before the experiment, they decided that fate must have brought them back together for a reason.
So, after Paul apologised for ghosting Carina, they gave it another shot.
For the first few weeks of the experiment, it was clear the couple were immensely happy.
However, in an incident that happened off-camera, Paul punched a wall after Carina shared an anecdote about her sex life.
Paul apologised to Carina, and to the wider group at the fourth dinner party. He then apologised to the experts at the fourth Commitment Ceremony.
They were less than impressed though and said Paul must attend therapy sessions with a professional for the rest of his time on the show.
Despite the incident, Paul and Carina bounced back and seemed happy.
Until it was revealed that prior to the experiment, Paul slept with Awhina’s twin sister Cleo. When Carina found this out, she said she was surprised that Paul went for that type of “calibre.”
And during the Partner Swap task, Paul repeated the comment to Awhina and confessed that he thought Carina was a “snob.”
When Carina found out, she apologised to Awhina but was upset that Paul had betrayed her trust and called her a snob.
The couple rekindled their romance during Homestays Week though and both opted to stay at the final Commitment Ceremony; it looked like the two were going to get a fairytale ending.
However, the last task of the season threw a spanner into the works…
The MAFS experts revealed all participants had a potential other match, and asked if anyone wanted to meet this person.
Carina said no, reasoning that she was happy with Paul and thought meeting the other person was “cheating.”
Paul, however, opted to meet his other match: Hannah.
Of course, this led to a huge fight that was not really resolved before the Final Vows.
And so, during the Final Vows, Paul begged Carina to forgive him and said he wanted to be with her outside of the experiment.
However, Carina broke things off, citing him meeting Hannah as the reason.
“You threw it all away in a selfish act. You were given a test that you failed. In my eyes, that was the final straw,” Carina said.
“I can’t be with someone who makes me feel like I’m not enough… The trust is broken and I can’t come back from that. Paul, I was yours. You had me. But you ruined it and now you’re going to have to live with that for the rest of your life.”
In short, no, Paul and Carina are not still together.
Jacqui and Ryan
All we can say about Jacqui and Ryan is there are red flags aplenty in their relationship.
Things got particularly heated when Ryan ranked Jacqui third in the Photo Ranking challenge.
And matters were made worse when Jacqui retaliated during the Ex Files challenge by saying her ex had a “god-like body.”
Most recently, the couple had a huge fight during Beth and Teejay’s wedding.
This ended with all of the other MAFS participants telling Jacqui and Ryan they should just break up as they’re clearly not right for each other.
The next morning, Ryan tried to talk to Jacqui about what had transpired at the wedding, hoping they could apologise to one another and move on.
But Jacqui wouldn’t hear a bar of what Ryan had to say. “I’m leaving the experiment today,” she ended up saying.
In a shocking twist, Jacqui did not leave; instead, she and Ryan somehow patched things up off-camera.
They were then lovey-dovey (in their own weird way) right up until Homestays Week.
It was during this week that Jacqui unleashed on Ryan, critiquing his beard, his home, and even the way he walked his dog.
Then Jacqui ended up in a screaming match with Ryan’s friends.
Flashforward to the final Commitment Ceremony of the season, Ryan asked to leave. But Jacqui asked to stay.
Expert John Aiken was gobsmacked and said she’d have to do a lot of “heavy lifting” in the last week of the experiment.
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.
But then both Jacqui and Ryan decided to meet their other match; Jacqui met Rory and Ryan met Vivienne.
In fact, Jacqui didn’t just meet with Rory, she gave him her number. And when Ryan found out, he admitted he was “angry” whereas Jacqui laughed it off, saying he was just “jealous.”
Flashforward to the Final Vows, and while Ryan listed several things he loved about Jacqui, he ultimately broke it off with her.
“I feel we aren’t strong enough to continue this marriage… I will be walking away from this relationship,” he said.
Whereas Jacqui had nothing positive to say; she honestly just unleashed on Ryan in her vows.
“It’s not me, your pride is the problem,” she said.
“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.”
Jacqui then walked away immediately with a smirk 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.
Jeff and Rhi
Just like Paul and Carina, Jeff and Rhi dated before the experiment.
But unlike Paul and Carina, they didn’t end things on bad terms; they mutually decided they were better as friends.
Despite being a little disappointed on their wedding day, the two ultimately decided to give a romantic relationship another go.
And at first, the two acted more like friends than lovers…
But as the MAFS season has continued, their relationship has deepened — they’ve even been intimate and Jeff sweetly gave Rhi a key to his place during Homestays Week!
So, it was no surprise that at the last Commitment Ceremony of the season, both said things were going very well and chose to stay.
And their relationship was strengthened further when both decided not to meet their other match.
Therefore, it was unsurprising when the couple sweetly declared their love for one another in their Final Vows.
“Rhi, I am falling in love with you. Rhi, you’re it for me; I choose you and I hope this is forever,” Jeff said in his vows.
“Jeff, I have never been in love before but there’s something different here. And right now, I can say, I am falling in love with you,” Rhis said in hers.
And we’re pleased to report that Rhi and Jeff are still together; they’ve been spotted multiple times out and about together since filming wrapped.
Beth and Teejay
Beth and Teejay were the first intruders of this year’s MAFS.
And for a while there, things were looking good! The couple instantly connected and shared several sweet kisses on their wedding day.
But as the experiment continued, both Beth and Teejay expressed that they weren’t sure how to initiate physical intimacy with one another.
And things became even more awkward during Homestays Week; Teejay couldn’t answer whether or not he wanted to keep seeing Beth once the experiment was over…
Then at the final Commitment Ceremony of the season, Teejay asked to leave. But Beth wanted to stay to see if she could break down Teejay’s walls.
Spoiler: she couldn’t.
And so, Beth made the decision to rip the bandaid off and not to go to Final Vows. Teejay took the news pretty well – unsurprising as he asked to leave.
“It’s obvious that he doesn’t want me and doesn’t want this relationship,” Beth told MAFS producers after breaking it off with Teejay.
“I genuinely thought we’d walk out of this experiment together; I thought we were perfectly matched… It’s so sad that we didn’t work out.”
To put it plainly: the couple are not still together.
Eliot and Veronica
After leaving Lauren during the honeymoon, Eliot came back, and the experts re-paired him with Veronica. The two instantly hit it off.
Of course, at their first dinner party, Veronica became quite upset with Eliot… She did not like the way he defended himself against Lauren and even called him “disgusting” after he suggested Lauren must have forgotten a conversation due to drinking a few margaritas.
At their first Commitment Ceremony, Eliot apologised to Lauren for everything and to Veronica for his behaviour at the dinner party. Veronica happily accepted, and the two decided to stay.
And it looked like the couple would be all good after that… However, Veronica became quite angry at Eliot during the Confessions task.
She felt that he didn’t open up to her enough, even though he shared a story about his sister falling into a coma.
Things were made worse by the Partner Swap task. Veronica felt she was more “compatible” with Dave than with Eliot.
So, it was really no surprise when Eliot and Veronica both decided leave at the sixth Commitment Ceremony.
Lauren and Clint
Lauren re-entered the experiment, and the experts matched her with Clint the second time around.
While things started well for the couple, after moving in together, Lauren realised she wasn’t romantically interested in Clint.
This stemmed from her belief that he’s not an “Alpha male” because he does dishes and laundry.
During the couples retreat, Lauren and Clint faced a lot of heat from the other participants – Lauren for her comments about Clint not being an Alpha and Clint for defending Lauren.
And so, at the fifth Commitment ceremony, they both decided to leave after all the drama with the wider group.
However, both said they’re open to pursuing a relationship.
“I’ll definitely go to Tassie [where Clint lives],” Lauren said before (unconvincingly) expressing that she hopes her friendship with Clint blossoms into something more outside of the experiment.
Spoiler alert: it didn’t. As mentioned above, Clint is now dating Jacqui.
Tony and Morena
After having one of the sweetest weddings this season, it looked like Tony and Morena would be joining the nine other MAFS couples who have stood the test of time.
But when the couple moved in together, they began having regular tiffs.
Thankfully, the experts sorted it out during the second Commitment Ceremony of the season. They told Morena to try and be more aware of her tone and to cut back on pointing at people while talking to them, and they told Tony to work on his communication skills.
However, things completely fell apart for Tony and Morena when he suddenly realised he wanted a baby — something Morena, at 57 years old, can’t give him.
At the fourth Commitment Ceremony, both wrote leave. Well, technically, Morena wrote “good riddance” rather than leave; however, it garners the same result.
Morena then stormed out of the room, even though the ceremony was not finished, without saying goodbye to anyone.
Sierah and Billy
Sierah and Billy started off great.
The couple were all smiles during their wedding and then went on to have a wonderful honeymoon.
And during the Confessions Letter challenge, Billy opened up about the poor relationship he has with his father. Sierah appreciated his vulnerability and the two passionately embraced.
However, during the second Commitment Ceremony of the season, it was revealed that Sierah had opened up emotionally to Adrian. And Billy felt incredibly betrayed.
Things got worse when Billy found out that Sierah went out for dinner with Adrian at the third dinner party.
Sierah and Billy exchanged some heated words and, therefore, it was not a surprise when at the third Commitment Ceremony, they both opted to leave.
Billy’s final words to Sierah were some sage advice. “I think, Sierah, obviously you are a beautiful person inside and out. And during the first couple of weeks, I saw that… moving forward, don’t go so inside yourself,” he said.
“I just wish we had this conversation earlier… as now I wish we could stay. I actually feel quite full of regret,” Sierah said.
Oh well, that’s just how the cookie crumbles… Meaning Sierah and Billy are no longer together.
Ashleigh and Jake
Ashleigh and Jake instantly connected on their wedding day, and things looked promising.
However, during the Photo Ranking challenge, Jake made some comments about the other brides that upset Ashleigh. These comments led to a confrontation and an awkward Commitment Ceremony; Ashleigh wanted to stay and work it out, but Jake wanted to leave.
Despite MAFS rules stating that a couple must stay in the experiment if one of them writes ‘stay’ during the ceremony, Jake packed up his bags and left.
So, in short, no, Ashleigh and Jake are not still together.
Katie and Tim
Katie and Tim; where do we begin? As soon as the wedding ceremony was over, Tim told MAFS producers that there was “no spark” and Katie is not what he usually goes for — he prefers “petite and blonde” women.
Then, throughout the day, Tim was very awkward towards Katie. He even refused to kiss her cheek while they cut the cake.
Poor Katie couldn’t figure out what was going on until later that night when Tim — off-camera — told her about his lack of spark.
Despite hearing such blunt news, Katie still decided to go on a honeymoon with Tim.
While there, Katie tried asking Tim about himself, but he constantly dismissed her with basic, short monosyllabic answers.
Then, she confronted him about not trying to get to know her because he’s hung up on not having a physical attraction. He flew off the handle and said that wasn’t true.
Flash forward to the first MAFS dinner party of the 2025 season, and Tim constantly deflected questions about his wedding and honeymoon. He then gaslit Katie into thinking she was the one responsible for their problems — something only Jamie noticed and called him out on.
Tim then decided that he wouldn’t move in with Katie.
However, he did surprisingly turn up to the first Commitment Ceremony.
But, unsurprisingly, both Katie and Tim opted to leave, meaning they are not still together!
Lauren and Eliot
The first couple to tie the knot in the 2025 season were Lauren and Eliot. It seemed like a match made in heaven at first: they both had high expectations and held traditional, conservative values.
And yet, Eliot broke it off with Lauren on day two of the honeymoon. He was frustrated that the experts paired him with someone older — he’s 35, and she’s 37.
Eliot also cited Lauren’s obsession with luxury handbags as a reason for leaving… Hilarious as not once did Lauren say anything about luxury handbags.
In short, no, Lauren and Eliot are not still together.
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.
