Married at First Sight (MAFS) Australia 2024 has once again kept viewers on the edge of their seats with its rollercoaster relationships, unexpected twists, and heartwarming moments. The social experiment, where complete strangers are matched by relationship experts, has been a hit with Australian audiences for years. But as always, the real question remains—who is still together from MAFS 2024 after the cameras stopped rolling?
In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into the latest updates on the couples, exploring which relationships survived beyond the experiment and which ones fell apart.
Who is still together from MAFS 2024?
The Australian edition of Married at First Sight has given us some dramatic moments and heartwarming love stories. While some couples have successfully maintained their relationships post-show, others have called it quits. Let’s take a look at where the Australian couples stand now:
Ridge Barredo and Jade Pywell
Ridge and Jade entered the experiment as an intruder couple, and despite the challenges, they found a strong connection. The couple chose to stay together during the final vows, and their relationship has continued to thrive. They even spent Christmas 2024 together, solidifying their bond.
Jack Dunkley and Tori Adams
Jack and Tori had a strong connection throughout the experiment. They remained committed to each other at the final vows and are reportedly still together, proving that love can flourish even under unconventional circumstances.
Couples that have separated from MAFS 2024
While some couples have lived lifetime love, others have not been as lucky. MAFS experiment findings might not always show a long-term correlation and can be challenging to understand. These are the couples that called it quits following the show:
Sara Mesa and Tim Calwell
Sara and Tim initially showed promise as a couple, but their relationship ultimately didn’t withstand the pressures of life after the experiment. They have since gone their separate ways.
Jayden Eynaud and Eden Harper
Jayden and Eden seemed to have great chemistry and stayed together during the final vows. However, their romance didn’t last, and they have since broken up.
Lauren Dunn and Jonathan McCullough
Lauren and Jonathan faced significant hurdles in their relationship and decided not to continue their journey together at the final vows. They have since moved on.
What happens after MAFS?
For the couples who remain together after the show, life post-MAFS can be both exciting and challenging. Transitioning from a controlled, filmed environment to real-world relationships comes with its own set of pressures. Here are some key factors that affect couples after the experiment:
- Living arrangements: Majority of couples in MAFS 2024 opted for hard decisions bearing in mind the available living arrangements. This includes a relocation from the area or sacrificing some aspects of family life along with the career for some.
- Family pressures: Reunion with one’s family tends to be one of the post-film challenging moments for most. Couples have to deal with family issues and settling several positions, which can be harmful to their relationships.
- Media scrutiny: The relevant authorities are very cautious regarding the ongoing investigations. Especially those in relationships, ‘MAFS’ couples are given great media attention which alienates the individuals. Relationships remain a priority but individuals want to forge a career path that is healthy for their growth while on the limelight.
Which MAFS couples have lasted from previous seasons?
While many couples break up after the show, there have been a few successful love stories in the past.
Erin Bateman and Bryce Mohr (season 2)
- This couple is one of the few success stories from the earlier seasons of MAFS.
- They have remained low-key and continue to stay together away from the spotlight.
Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant (season 6)
- Perhaps the most famous MAFS couple, Jules and Cam are still happily married.
- They even welcomed their first child together in 2020.
These success stories prove that, while rare, love can be found through the MAFS experiment.
Conclusion
The 2024 season of Married at First Sight has been an emotional journey for both the participants and Australian audiences. While some couples have found lasting love, others have chosen to part ways. For those who stayed together, MAFS was just the beginning of their relationship. For those who moved on, the experience offered valuable lessons in love, commitment, and self-awareness.
As fans continue to follow the post-show lives of their favourite couples, MAFS remains a captivating reality show filled with drama, romance, and unpredictability. No matter the outcome, it never fails to keep Australia talking.
