Australia’s favourite experiment, Married at First Sight, returned for another dramatic year in 2025 with its fair share of rows and break-ups.
While 13 couples said “I do” on the program, only two are still together, with one very unexpected romance twist emerging after filming.
So, which couples are still together and which have gone their separate ways?
Scroll on to find out.
Which MAFS Australia 2025 couples are still together?
Jacqui and Clint
Still together
The most surprising romance to emerge from the 2025 series was between Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice, given they weren’t even matched up!
They were paired with different people at the altar, but proved they know better than the experts as they found love after filming.
Clint was originally matched up with Lauren Hall, but things went south at the Couple’s Retreat, and they quit, while Jacqui had an explosive break-up with Ryan Donnelly at Final Vows.
In February 2025, just three months after filming ended, the pair went public with their romance, much to the surprise of fans.
Jacqui quickly moved to Tasmania to be with Clint, and in April 2025, they got engaged at a MAFS Reunion screening.
And they could be tying the knot this year, with Jacqui sharing a huge hint on Instagram on January 4.
“Rumour has it we’re getting married this year,” she wrote alongside a photo of her and Clint visiting Bridestowe Lavender Estate, which hosts weddings in Tasmania.
Rhi and Jeff
Still together
Having dated previously, Jeff and Rhi were surprised to see they were matched with one another at the altar!
But despite the shock, they were happy they knew each other.
Skipping past the awkwardness of meeting a stranger, they formed a strong friendship, but were worried things wouldn’t pass the “friend zone”.
However, romantic sparks began to fly between them, and they went on to be one of the experiment’s strongest couples.
“Rhi, you’re it for me. I choose you, and I hope this is forever,” Jeff declared at Final Vows.
They moved in together in May 2025 and are still happily dating.

Awhina and Adrian
Split
There was an instant spark between Awhina and Adrian when they first met, but their romance quickly turned turbulent.
It all started when Awhina told Adrian at their wedding that she had a son, which shocked him, but he initially said he wanted to see where their connection went.
Although they were intimate and enjoying their honeymoon, it became a roadblock with the honesty box when Adrian said he was not sure if he could love Awhina’s son as much as his potential children.
Confessions week also put the couple through their paces when Awhina confessed to cheating on her ex, and Adrian refused to take part in the letter-writing task.
Despite a very dramatic on-screen relationship with several break-up threats, they made it to the end of the show, but then split shortly after filming.
“Even if me and Adrian lived in the same state it wouldn’t have worked. Our feelings didn’t progress beyond the physical level,” she admitted
It emerged during the reunion that Adrian had secretly messaged and met up with fellow bride Sierah during filming, but they both maintained that nothing happened between them.

Lauren and Eliot
Split
Eliot came into the experiment wanting a traditional, nuclear family set-up, and things seemed promising when he was matched with Lauren, who said she should have been born in the 1920s.
They seemed to get along well and shared similar values at their wedding, but it was not meant to be.
Eliot’s list of “non-negotiables” came in the way, and he chose to leave two days into their honeymoon, requesting a meeting with John Aitken, who delivered some hard truths.
However, the couple later returned to the show, with Lauren being matched with Clint while Eliot was paired up with Veronica.
Sadly, neither romance lasted, and they both broke up before the end of filming.

Morena and Tony
Split
Morena and Tony were the oldest couple in the experiment, and their wedding was full of joy and laughter.
However, the couple quickly came into conflict, and much of their time on the show was marred by their explosive arguments.
Although Tony said he zoned out when Morena kept talking and found it hard to open up, they were determined to make it work.
However, they ultimately broke up during tense conflicts during intimacy week and revelations about Tony’s desire for a different partner.

Jacqui and Ryan
Split
Things got off to a rocky start for Jacqui and Ryan, who both expect nothing less than perfection from their partners.
From Ryan not taking the lead, to not offering Jacqui his jacket, and even dropping her on the dancefloor, their wedding was certainly eventful for all the wrong reasons.
Tensions continued to rise after Ryan ranked Jacqui third in the photo-ranking challenge. Jacqui talked up her ex-partner and disagreed often on the ground rules in their marriage.
Despite their clashes, they made it all the way to Final Vows, when Jacqui then dropped a bombshell and broke up with Ryan in an explosive speech.
Since their dramatic break-up, Jacqui has found love with their co-star, Clint.

Sierah and Billy
Split
British groom hit it off with his bride Sierah, and even got down on one knee and proposed on their wedding day.
Intimate on their honeymoon, they showed their unity as a couple by both wearing pink at the first dinner party and opening up during confessions week.
They initially stayed strong and seemed to be one of the strongest couples before everything went south between them.
Their relationship was rocked when news of Sierah’s secret dinner with Adrian emerged, as Billy felt betrayed by the revelation.
Ultimately, the drama led to them both writing ‘leave’ during the Commitment Ceremony and exiting the experiment separately.
“I mean, obviously, I made a mistake and wronged people,” Sierah confessed.
“The mistake I made was lying to Awhina, or not being forthcoming. I had gone out with Tony and Adrian for dinner. It was so innocent – we just went for a plate of meat.”

Jamie and Dave
Split
Wanting someone with a kind heart and tattoos, Jamie was thrilled when she saw her match and gentle giant, Dave.
They got along like a house on fire at the wedding, which continued throughout their honeymoon.
Their bond strengthened when Dave backed Jamie at the dinner party when she called out Tim for his treatment of Katie.
Things only went from strength to strength between them, and they quickly became fan favourites.
However, Dave then pulled away from their relationship and admitted he didn’t have romantic feelings for her in a devastating twist.
They chose to stay together and work on things, and left hand-in-hand at Final Vows, but split just weeks later.
Jamie later said she felt Dave didn’t reciprocate her feelings and was not invested in their relationship.

Carina and Paul
Split
Ready for romance, Carina and Paul were surprised to see one another as their matches, having dated in the past.
Not ending on great terms after Paul ghosted her, Carina was concerned, but came around when Paul apologised and came clean to her parents.
Seeing it as a second chance, they got closer during their honeymoon and were a united front at their first dinner party.
Their bond deepened when they moved in together and put each other first in the photo-ranking challenge.
However, things took a tense turn between them when Paul punched a hole in a wall in an off-camera moment during a heated row with Carina.
They moved into separate apartments, and things looked rocky, but Carina ultimately decided to work on things with Paul.
But Paul then agreed to take part in the controversial ‘Plan B’ task, which allowed them the chance to date someone new, with Carina feeling betrayed by Paul’s choice.
She ultimately dumped him during Final Vows, deciding to put herself first after their turbulent relationship.
“I think there was a build-up of frustration – you could see it all over my facial expressions. I was essentially clocked out. I’d had enough,” she previously told The Daily Mail.
“There were so many red flags along the way. I forgave him so many times, but when it got to that last and final task, that was my breaking point. There was no turning back.”

Jake and Ashleigh
Split
Both looking for a partner with a kind heart, Ashleigh and Jake were off to a great start.
The quirky couple love to have a joke and banter, and things seemed to get better when they moved in.
But their joking style was up for debate during confessions week, when Jake made unsavoury comments about the other brides.
After being called out for his poor form and being unable to leave the experiment at their first Commitment Ceremony when his wife wrote ‘stay’, the unhappy groom dramatically quit the experiment the next morning.

Tim and Katie
Split
CEO Katie was optimistic when she entered the experiment and was happy when she met her groom, Tim.
Unbeknownst to the Queenslander, Tim expressed his disappointment in not being matched with his type, despite saying in his intro that he did not have one.
As he walked away from the wedding, he said he preferred “petite blondes” and did not want to be there.
Katie knew something was off when he did not want to hug her in the photo shoot, nor kiss her cheek when they cut the cake, and even asked if there was an issue and was told it was fine.
However, things changed when Tim confessed he didn’t feel a spark and asked if he should just leave.
Despite this, the couple went on their honeymoon, where Katie felt like she got nowhere with learning about Tim.
Her sense of self was then questioned at the dinner party when Tim said he felt he put in more effort.
Accused of gaslighting, Tim stormed out of the dinner party and went to Melbourne, while Katie moved into the apartment alone.
Ultimately, at the very first Commitment Ceremony of the season, both decided to quit the experiment and formally end their marriage.
