Every year, we are promised love and genuine relationships on Married at First Sight, which sometimes happens, but on many other occasions, does not work out.
In 2025, this has been no exception, with a number of couples already calling it quits.
Find out below which couples have parted ways.
Which MAFS 2025 couples have left the experiment?

Eliot and Veronica
When Eliot entered the experiment for the second time, he said he was ready to be open and give it his all.
Despite his short time on MAFS with his first marriage to Lauren, Eliot assured his new bride Veronica and her friends he would be sticking around.
Their early days were promising with Veronica feeling comfortable enough with her new husband to open up about her experience with endometriosis.
However, this quickly changed at the first dinner party of the season where Veronica was unhappy with how Eliot recounted his relationship with Lauren and continued to treat her in front of the other couples.
Despite this, they both wrote stay at their first Commitment Ceremony, determined to learn more about one another.
Things took an even worse turn in their marriage when Veronica spoke to Lauren to get a better understanding of her husband. Unsurprisingly, Lauren had nothing nice to say.
Tensions then continued to build when they did not see eye-to-eye on the photo-ranking challenge, and Veronica didn’t think Eliot’s confession about his sister was “vulnerable” enough. Nevertheless, they made it through the dinner party and decided to stay another week.
While the couple’s retreat gave them the chance to reset their relationship, their happiness was short-lived. The rift between them then widened when Eliot discovered Veronica spoke with Lauren about him privately.
After they wrote stay, the couple swap presented another curveball. While Eliot valued Rhi’s perspective about their relationship, Veronica found her time with Dave more constructive than her entire marriage.
Following suggestions by Eliot and the group that Veronica was attracted to Dave, which were squashed by them both at the dinner party, the couple wrote leave at their fourth Commitment Ceremony.

Lauren and Clint
When Lauren re-entered MAFS, she was hesitant at first, but put at ease when she met her second husband Clint at their wedding.
Taken aback by his bride’s retelling of her marriage to Eliot, Clint assured Lauren that he would have her back throughout the experiment.
Their marriage started on a strong note when Clint stood by her at the first dinner party, and they both wrote stay at the first commitment ceremony.
Despite their promising start, they hit a bump in the road during their second week, when Lauren questioned if Clint was “alpha” enough for her, and was turned off by him doing the dishes. Nevertheless, they both wrote stay for the second time in a row.
Then came the Byron Bay couples retreat, which was anything but relaxing for the couple, when Lauren felt attacked by the other brides, and did not want to talk about her relationship.
Both initially wanting to leave during the retreat, the couple became a united front when they were confronted by the group.
After Lauren confided in him about how she felt about the other brides, Clint defended her behaviour.
Both keen to get away from the MAFS drama, they then decided to opt out of the next dinner party, with one of their own.
Agreeing they did not share a spark, they both wrote leave as friends at their third commitment ceremony together. Read more about how their relationship unfolded here.
Despite Clint not finding love with Lauren however, it looks like he is head over heels for another bride….

Tony and Morena
When Tony and Morena met for the first time on their wedding day, they both said they felt something real.
But sadly, it was not meant to be.
Despite a rocky start, they decided to build on a friendship and deepened their connection when Tony painted his wife during intimacy week.
However, Morena’s strong personality became a roadblock for Tony throughout the experiment. It led to him feeling like he could not speak freely.
By the third week, it seemed they were stronger than ever. However, Morena was having issues with Tony’s style of affection and wanted him to be a gentleman.
Things came to a head when Morena’s friends visited and she discovered that Tony wanted a child and felt like he wasted her time.
Tensions carried over to the dinner party and then the commitment ceremony. Morena walked in late, determined to have her say.
While they both decided to leave, Morena wrote “good riddance” and left without saying goodbye.

Billy and Sierah
Sparks flew between these two at their wedding and during their honeymoon.
Despite entering the first dinner party as a united front, and their connection deepening when Billy opened up about his father leaving, it was not meant to be.
While their bond strengthened when Billy stood up to Jake for his comments about Sierah in the photo-ranking challenge, the groom wanted to deepen the emotional connection with his wife before becoming intimate.
Feeling like there was already a disconnect, he was blindsided when he found out Sierah opened up to Adrian about her past, and that the pair had gone out for dinner behind his back.
Although they insisted it was innocent, for Billy, the trust was gone.
While both wrote leave at the third Commitment Ceremony, Sierah later said she regretted her decision and wished she had written stay.

Jake and Ashleigh
These two seemed like a match made in heaven with similar values and energies, and their wedding was drama-free!
But MAFS fans’ hopes were dashed when Ashleigh was left shocked about Jake’s comments during the photo-ranking challenge.
Reeling from the confessions, she said it was nasty and could have been delivered without malice – much to Jake’s annoyance.
With the change in dynamics, the bride guiltily confessed she told Sierah about his comments, which Jake could not get past.
Unable to put aside their differences at the commitment ceremony, Ashleigh wrote to stay in the hopes of making it work.
But the relationship ended before it could fully develop when Jake left a day later, forcing Ashleigh to also pack her bags.

Katie and Tim
Although Katie and Tim were the third couple to say I do, they were the second to part ways.
Their wedding was anything but a fairytale when Tim confessed he did not feel a spark with Katie, and she did not match his “short, petite, blond or brunette” type.
Then came their miserable honeymoon, which was followed by a disastrous dinner party, which ended with Tim storming out.
Left reeling with the news he went back to Melbourne to get some space, Katie moved into their apartment alone. Despite his exit, Tim returned for the commitment ceremony where they both wrote leave.
Since leaving the show, Katie has been doing well and focusing on self-development.

Lauren and Eliot
On paper, Lauren and Eliot seemed like a match, but it was not meant to be.
Bonding over their shared desire for a traditional family set-up, their wedding was disrupted by the bride’s sister Tamara and her comments.
Things continued to take a turn when Eliot left their honeymoon after two days, saying his “non-negotiables” were not met.
Despite harsh truths from John Aitken, Eliot left the experiment, which forced Lauren to pack her bags after attending the dinner party solo.
However, the controversial groom has re-entered with his new match Veronica, and Lauren has come back and married Clint.
Perhaps they will both be better off a second time!
