Married At First Sight bride Brook Crompton has quit the show for a second time by storming out of the Commitment Ceremony.
The model first quit the Channel Nine series off-camera when she packed her bags and left Chris Nield, before returning to wreak havoc at the second dinner party.
Fans were horrified by her behaviour towards Alissa Fay and Stella Mickunaite, and the experts didn’t hold back from grilling her on her conduct on Sunday, February 22.
However, Brook was having none of it and stormed out after Mel Schilling said she had “never experienced a woman be so vicious towards other women”.
“I’m going to go to the toilet quickly,” Brook suddenly announced, leaving the room while Chris remained alone on the couch.
The experts were then told that Brook had once again quit the experiment, with an angry Chris then storming off after her.
“She’s decided to do a runner… again,” John Aiken revealed.
So, is this officially the end for Chris and Brook?

Are Married At First Sight’s Chris and Brook still together?
It is safe to say that Chris and Brook are well and truly no longer together, after her bombshell remarks in the final Commitment Ceremony.
Before she stormed out, Brook made it clear there was no future between her and Chris, saying there were “things and actions” that she couldn’t move past.
Her remark referred to Chris’ audition tape video, in which he made “fat-shaming” remarks, which derailed his and Brook’s relationship when she found out.
“As much as I’ve got a lot of work to do on myself, Chris and I have discussed that he’s got a lot of work to do on himself, as well,” she said at the Commitment Ceremony.
“We get on like a house on fire; we enjoy each other’s company, but it’s friends.”
When Chris said it was clear they wouldn’t work inside the experiment, Brook clarified that they had no future in the real world either.
“I’m at the point where I’m like it’s not only that it won’t work in here, it won’t work on the outside either Chris,” she said.
“I’m not saying that we’re ending this and we’re going to be 100% on the outside, that’s not it.”
“You’re going to go off, live your life, you work on yourself, if you want to do whatever you want to do, do that, and I’ll do the same for me.”
MAFS fans were already aware that things wouldn’t last between Chris and Brook after she revealed she is engaged and expecting a baby with another man.
And there is no love lost between Brook and Chris, with the bride revealing they have not been in contact since the show.
“I haven’t spoken to him. He’s blocked,” she told our sister publication Woman’s Day.
“However, I’ve heard he’s just moved around the corner from me. And he doesn’t know anyone on the Gold Coast. That is weird!!”
Just two weeks after leaving the experiment, Brook rekindled things with her ex-boyfriend, Harry, and they are now engaged and expecting a child together.
They reunited and jetted off to the Maldives to give their relationship a final try, after splitting three months before Brook started filming MAFS.
“We just had the most beautiful time. We were better than we ever had been,” she told our sister publication Woman’s Day.
After returning from the trip, Brook discovered that she was pregnant and their baby is due in August 2026.
Over Christmas, Harry, 28, also proposed to Brook, and they are now engaged.
Why did Brook initially leave Married at First Sight?
Viewers did not get to see the moment Brook initially decided to leave the experiment, as she packed her bags and left her apartment off-camera.
While fans had been expecting her departure, given that she revealed her relationship status, many thought it would come at a Commitment Ceremony instead.
However, she told Woman’s Day that she was actually there for the entirety of Intimacy Week, and revealed that Chris was initially the one who booked a ticket home, because he didn’t want to be left heartbroken.
“But for some reason, he never made it on that flight,” she explained. “But I ended up going home. I was so done by that point.”
“A couple of crazy incidents happened behind the scenes…”
She then claimed that the producers “begged” her to come back to finish her “love story”, and when she refused, even said they would match her with someone else.
“I said ‘No’ again, but they kept begging me to come back, they said they could keep me in a separate room as Chris. They just wanted me to fake it until after the retreat,” she continued.
During the experiment, she was rocked by his audition, and wanted to leave during the first week of the show. Despite this, she said the producers told her to give him a chance.
On the show, her initial departure looked like a shock to Chris.
“Brook’s decided to go back home to the Gold Coast, she’s just followed her mind and her heart, and had to pull the pin,” he revealed on the show.
“I’m not going to sit here and lie and say I’m not upset. I think anyone with feelings and emotions directed towards someone, and they’re not reciprocating, it’s always going to hurt.”
Although he was initially sceptical about the experts’ match for him, Chris shared his upset over Brook’s departure, but admitted it was down to his own audition tape comments.
Brook and Chris struggled to get past the bride hearing him say his “turn-offs” were “Fake tan, needy and fat people,” during his audition.
“I’m more just disappointed in myself,” Chris said to the camera after Brook’s initial exit.
They were the first couple to call it quits on the 2026 series. Read all about their tumultuous journey below.
What happened between Chris and Brook on MAFS?
Before Brook quit the experiment, Chris and Brook had agreed to give their relationship another go at the first Commitment Ceremony.
Brook brought up her dismay over his audition tape comments, with Chris admitting he was disappointed in himself.
“Being with Brook now, the person I’ve been the last two weeks, it’s a dramatic change,” he shared.
Despite being alarmed by his comments, Brook commended his efforts to change and their connection.
While they both wrote stay, Brook wrote hers with a poo emoji, saying more needed to change.
It followed Brook being left shocked by Chris’s audition tape video, in which he said he preferred someone “dumb and hot” when it came to intimacy, which shocked her.
“I’m just a guy who appreciates the nice things in life and likes things in certain ways,” he said. “Please prove me wrong and give me this sexy brunette tanned girl on a platter.”
Brook was left shocked by his comments and questioned their entire relationship.
“The part about fat people, that to me is disgusting,” she stated. “Talking like that about someone that you don’t know their history, don’t know their past, don’t judge someone for their body weight, look beyond that.”
Disgusted with his comments, she told him that she would not have continued being in the experiment had she seen it sooner.
“For me, I think it’s this mentality that I’ve always had, being around the boys and trying to impress everyone,” he explained, but Brook wasn’t buying it.
After recapping what happened to her sister Jesse in search of advice, she told her to “run”, and didn’t see how it could be redeemed.
What happened at Chris and Brook’s wedding?
Chris did not have high expectations for his wedding day.
Refusing to give much away, Chris said to the camera upon seeing his wife, “[She’s] not too bad,” before adding, “Brook’s attractive, what else do you want me to f**king say?”
Chris at first appeared shaken that he was a similar height to her, while Brook commented that he seemed like a “stubborn guy”, but they both said “I do”.
Things hit another hurdle when Brook only let Chris give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, leaving the groom feeling put out.
“I don’t care, I don’t care, I’m not fussed, sooner or later, I’m sure I’ll kiss her, I don’t care about today or tomorrow, it’s going to happen,” he said in a confessional.
“This is an experiment, you’ve got three months, I’m not hanging out for two months to get my first f**king kiss.”
Despite the awkward start, sparks began to fly between the newlyweds at their reception as they got to know each other better and bonded over their similarities, including the value they place on loyalty.
“I think I judged too soon. I’ve gotten to know him, and we do have similar personalities; we do have something there,” Brook confessed.
While Chris conceded, “I, at the moment as it currently stands, am happy with Brook and the decision the experts have made.”
What has Brook said about Chris?
It is clear that Brook and Chris did not end on good terms, and the bride has not shied away from piling on the criticism.
Brook said she had “no idea” about his controversial audition tape comments before their wedding day, and made it clear she disapproved of his remarks.
“I had no idea, and to be quite frank, if I had known, that man would have been ripped a new a**hole,” she shared with Chattr about watching his comments. “I would have done a full runner. I think my friends also probably would have annihilated him.”
“I think it’s absolutely disgusting.”
“I’m lost for words over it, to be honest. You should not be speaking about people like that or women like that in general,” she continued.
“I don’t stand for that behaviour ever, and I would never, ever be with someone who speaks about women like that. And I think it’s not him being insecure…”
As for why she thinks he was cast on the show? For shock value.
“I think he should not have been allowed on that show,” she stated.
“For the fact that there are young viewers, parents are watching it with their kids. What kind of role model are you showing, that you’re going to be putting someone on there who body-shames women in front of young children as well? I just think it’s just so wrong.”
