Rebecca Zukowski and Steve Powell’s Married at First Sight Australia romance started with a perfect wedding, but since then, the groom has shared his grievances about his wife.
While the other couples considered them to be a united front at the first dinner party, Revelations Week has revealed that they are not on the same page.
For the final task during the confronting week, brides and grooms united separately to share red and green flags about their spouses.
Even though Steve assured his wife that they were in a good place, he had a different story when he spoke openly with the grooms.
While he said he saw “multiple” green flags with his TV wife, he didn’t name them before explaining that she has several red flags, which stunned the other men.
The 50-year-old creative director said he was “more conservative” than Rebecca, and at times, did not understand humour when it included sexual innuendos.
He also claimed that he needed to “talk all the time” and felt like he had “no downtime” from her.
“Rebecca’s not my usual type,” he continued. “What I mean by that is that her personality is less conservative than mine.
“On top of that, just the emotions. Her emotions are very high and very low. I’m not sure what I’m going to get,” he shared.
“That kind of worries me, you kind of lose a bit of trust, because you’re not sure [of] the person you’re waking up next to.”
He also said that Rebecca is “very opinionated” and more “outspoken”.
This was awkward, considering that Rebecca was praising her husband in another room, and said she was not worried about their relationship.
A perfect wedding
Their wedding was a day to remember, especially when Rebecca’s her 19-year-old son, Austin, walked her down the aisle.
While she has raised her son as a single parent, she said she felt regret when she split with his father when he was a toddler.
“I felt like a complete failure,” the leasing manager from Victoria said.
Now that he’s moved out of home, Rebecca is ready to open her heart to someone.
And her wedding to creative director Steve has been billed as one of the most fairy tale moments the Channel Nine show has seen!
Upon first meeting, they immediately put each other at ease before sharing heartfelt vows.
Steve, who has four daughters, said that he’s ready to have adventures, with lots of fun and laughter along the way.
“Being a father has been a gift, and I promise to bring that same love and devotion to our partnership,” Steve told his TV wife. “Here’s to creating lasting memories and sharing them with you today.”
In her vows, Rebecca promised to be vulnerable, open and honest with her husband throughout the experiment, as her son proudly watched on.
During their reception, they bonded over their family values.
Steve said he is close with all his girls, which Rebecca deeply admired.
“I always wanted a bigger family and to marry someone who had children,” she shared.
“How he speaks about them is really beautiful, genuine and authentic, so for me, that says a lot about Steve and his character as a person. I can’t believe how happy I am right now.”
Are MAFS stars Rebecca and Steve still together?
At the time of publication, the pair still follow each other on Instagram, so they might still be together!
Even if they have chosen to part ways, perhaps they ended the experiment on great terms.
While the show was being filmed last year, the Daily Mail shared photos of them arriving at the first dinner party and reported that they kissed before going inside.
