It’s no secret that Married at First Sight (MAFS) has a track record of bringing together some of the most controversial characters in the country, but which of the couples from the 2024 experiment are still together?

Season 11’s brides and grooms dove headfirst into the intensity of fast-tracked relationships, laying their cards on the table, revealing their most vulnerable sides as they get real in front of Australia.

But with the ultimate goal of making their marriage a long-term success, which couples have stood the test of time, moving beyond cooked best man speeches, Confessions Week, the Retreat and each other?

We investigate which Married at First Sight 2024 couples are still together!

Jack and Tori

Jack Dunkley, 34, a personal trainer from the Gold Coast was matched with Tori Adams, 27, a business development manager from Victoria.

Upon requesting a partner more inclined to submission, Jack was instead presented with a strong and independent woman, raised by an equally strong and independent single mother!

With red flags galore, Jack was determined to be the dominant force in the relationship and while Tori was smitten with her new husband, at their wedding her best friend Leah felt his vibe was “off” — especially since all of his guests were clients from the gym!

Coupled with the fact that he gave off a certain Harrison Boon 2.0 je ne sais quoi and that he didn’t feel a spark with his new wife, we thought this relo was destined for the bin!

However, in a plot twist for the ages, Jack and Tori stuck it out and even spent Christmas 2023 together in Melbourne.

Tori took to a private Instagram account on February 14th 2024 to share a photo of her holding some flowers, and the note referred to her as “wife”. So, unless Tori got married to a rando between when filming and now, it’s safe to say that the bunch she was holding were from Jack.

Fast forward, and the couple was looking more loved-up than ever, even teaming up on business ventures, including online coaching and fitness plans. As reported in The Tab, they also invested in a swanky new gym, which appears to offer fitness support both online and in person. 

As the publication also pointed out, the couple moved in together on the Gold Coast, with Tori sharing on her Instagram that they managed to get the whole move done in just two weeks.

In an interview with Channel 9, Jack even revealed he was planning to propose to Tori not long after their one-year anniversary.

“I’ve told Tori that if we were to get married and have children, my time span on that would be about two years,” he said.

“So maybe in a year’s time, all things going well, I’d like to think I’d have a ring on it to be honest.”

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, with Tori even landing a new job on the Goldy. But more than a year after MAFS wrapped, the couple shocked fans with a joint statement on Instagram announcing their split.

“As of a few weeks ago, we have decided to end our romantic relationship,” the post read.

“We remain the best of friends and still care and respect one another deeply.”

Jack also took to Instagram soon after to thank fans for their support.

Verdict: They had a good run, but nope, Jack and Tori have officially called it quits.

Jade and Ridge

Jade Pywell and Ridge Barredo quickly become fan favourites, and it looks like they are still going super strong!

However, things weren’t exactly smooth sailing at the start.

Back in February, So Dramatic claimed that Ridge cheated on Jade, however, he’s since shut that down in a private Facebook group.

“I’ve never cheated on Jade. We’ve had our ups and downs like in any relationship, but I’d never disrespect the future mother of my kids like that,” he wrote.

Ridge continued, “Maybe you guys should check your facts before believing every bit of rubbish that’s posted on the internet.”

Plus, not long after that, in March, Daily Mail Australia papped the lovebirds out and about at a Sydney beach.

Still, that same month, some eyebrows were raised when Jade spilled a bit of tea on The Pulse with Seany B & Emma G, as reported by Now To Love. She revealed a hiccup in their relationship, sharing that Ridge had messaged an ex, but assured everyone that nothing “physical” happened

“Ridge is such a nice person like, he’s so caring to everyone so sometimes he can do the wrong thing and message exes without realising that it would upset me,” Jade said.

“For me, I feel like it was a line that was crossed that I wasn’t happy with, just because I didn’t know about the interaction.”

Still, it seems like all is forgiven because these two are stronger than ever! 

Ridge posted the cutest Instagram photo of himself with Jade and her daughter, captioned “Fam portraits,” to which Jade replied with a flurry of love heart emojis.

But the romance rumours really ramped up on November 21 2024, when Ridge posted a photo of Jade rocking a ring on that finger with the cheeky caption “soft launch,” as reported by Rayo.

What’s more, in another adorable Instagram moment that had fans buzzing, Jade shared a video of the two kissing and cuddling, with Ridge commenting, “Love you gorgeous,” followed by a ring and love heart emoji. OMG!

There haven’t been many updates since the engagement rumours, making us thing that it was just keeping our hopes high.

Although as reported in Daily Mail, Ridge did cop it for a break-up prank on April Fools which Jade was not here for. There was also some more pranks that Jade could be pregnant, which Jade since shut down during an Insta Q&A.

“You mentioned you have been feeling sick a lot lately. Could you be pregnant?” one follower asked.

“Definitely not,” the former bride replied. “We just have had a lot on lately so I think I just have a lot of sleep to catch-up on.”

While Jade and Ridge are keeping us guessing for now, but one thing’s for sure, we love seeing them this happy!

Verdict: Yes, Jade and Ridge are very much still together.

Stephen and Michael

Michael and Stephen aren’t still together and left the experiment during the Commitment Ceremony that aired on March 10th.

Verdict: No, Michael and Stephen aren’t together.

Lucinda and Timothy

Lucinda and Timothy left the MAFS experiment at the final Commitment Ceremony on March 24th. While they’re not together, they still have a strong friendship.

Despite their obvious differences, Timothy and Lucinda quickly became MAFS fan favourites. Lucinda managed to help Timothy start to open up, but both sides hit a few speed bumps along the way in their relationship.

Chattr exclusively published photos of Timothy and Lucinda sinking beers together on a Sydney rooftop on Valentines Day in 2024. Plus, they were also snapped out and about and in great spirits. However, Timothy was also papped sharing lunch with a mystery woman shortly after.

In February, Instagram account MAFSGossip also shared leaked photos of the TV couple at a BBQ in Melbourne. Timothy and Lucinda look very close in the photos, with her cuddling into his shoulder.

Meanwhile, Lucinda’s been thriving in the spotlight, most recently cracking us up in her hilarious cameo for the cheeky new Koala ad. So while she may not have found lasting love on MAFS, it’s clear the experience wasn’t for nothing!

Verdict: No, Lucinda and Timothy aren’t still together.

Sara and Tim

Are Tim and Sara still together?

After locking eyes at the altar, Sara and Tim were smitten with each other. However, things turned sour on the honeymoon when the couple had a bitter fight over, erm, Sara not liking the tequila served.

Things took a suss turn during Confessions Week when Sara refused to do a task which involved handing her phone over to Tim and letting him go through it.

And things never turned around for the couple. Tim was pictured out and about in Queensland with a brunette named Barbara in February.

The photos, which were published by Daily Mail Australia, show Tim and Barbara on a cute day out shopping for plants together. In one of the pics, Tim ironically looks over Barbara’s shoulder at her phone, and it another she plants a kiss on his cheek.

You can see those pics here.

So yeah, it’s safe to say the couple is completely done and definitely not together.

Verdict: Sara and Tim aren’t together.

Ellie and Ben

Well if one thing is for sure, it’s that Ellie Dix and Ben Walters didn’t work out, they left the show during the Commitment Ceremony that aired on March 3rd.

One of juiciest spoilers of the season involvef Ellie striking up a romantic connection with Jonothan, who was matched with Lauren.

Ellie was spotted cuddled up with fellow groom Jono McCullough, who was matched with Lauren Dunn, at her work party last December. After that tidbit was leaked, Daily Mail Australia shared some photos of a steamy make-out sesh in the ocean between Ellie and Jono.

Jono and Ellie are still happily together today, with her latest Instagram post revealing they’ve even bought a house together!

Furthermore, back in February, Ben updated his Facebook profile to one of him and his new girlfriend Aileen. At the time, Ellie came out swinging, saying that Ben was seeing the woman while filming the show.

Verdict: They’re absolutely not together.

Jayden and Eden

Eden Harper and Jayden Eynaud were one of the strongest couples on MAFS 2024 ever since meeting for the first time at the altar.

Part way through the seasons Jayden’s brother Mitch Eynaud pretty much gave away the fact that Eden and Jayden made it through the experiment together.

In October 2023, he shared a photo of himself on a couch cuddled up with a golden retriever. Not only does the dog look identical to Eden’s dog Cub, but guess what Mitch originally called the dog in the caption? Yup, Cub.

You can see the pics here!

However, while the couple did make it out of MAFS as a couple, they have since split.

On April 17, both Eden and Jayden shared statements on their respective Instagram accounts confirming their breakup.

“I’m saddened to share that toward the end of the show airing, our relationship came to an unexpected end. The ‘reality’ is, the person I chose didn’t choose me,” Eden wrote.

Meanwhile, Jayden penned: “Unfortunately, our relationship ended not long before the end of the experiment airing. As sad as it is, I’m so glad I got to go through this with such an amazing woman and a beautiful son .”

Verdict: No, Jayden and Eden aren’t together.

Lauren and Jonathan

Lauren and Jono aren’t still together. As mentioned above, Jono is still going strong with 2024 bride Ellie, who was paired with Ben in the experiment.

In a juicy twist of fate, however, one of Jono’s ex-girlfriends is getting TV-hitched on the upcoming 2025 season of MAFS.

That’s right! According to Daily Mail Australia, 2025 bride Lauren Hall, CEO of Mayfair Lane Gifts, and Jono first became friends nearly a decade ago but reconnected in 2022.

The publication reports that the pair dated for three months before parting ways in January 2023 on good terms, just before Jono auditioned for MAFS. Hm, small world!

Verdict: No, Lauren and Jono aren’t together.

Cassandra and Tristan

Cassandra and Tristan aren’t still together. They left the MAFS experiment during the Commitment Ceremony episode that aired on March 17th.

Verdict: No, Cassandra and Tristan aren’t together.

Andrea and Richard

Andrea and Richard aren’t still together. They left the MAFS experiment during the Commitment Ceremony episode that aired on March 17th. In fact, Andrea is now dating someone new.

Verdict: No, Andrea and Richard aren’t together.

Collins and Natalie

Collins and Natalie left the MAFS experiment during the episode that aired on March 11th.

Verdict: Collins and Natalie aren’t still together.

Maddy and Ash

Maddy and Ash left the MAFS experiment during the episode that aired on February 26th.

Verdict: Maddy and Ash aren’t still together.

Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.

How many couples from MAFS 2025 are still together?

Although an insider told Yahoo Lifestyle that MAFS 2025 is slated to end with a “record-breaking” number of successful pairings, this doesn’t seem to be the case any longer.

In fact, it looks like only two couples have managed to stay together from the show… and that’s only if we’re including Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice, who had different partners on the show. This means it’s less successful than MAFS 2024.

Which MAFS 2025 couples are still together?

Awhina Rutene and Adrian Araouzou

Awhina Rutene and Adrian Araouzou have serious physical chemistry and no problems in the bedroom, but it sounds like that wasn’t enough to sustain a long-term relationship.

While the couple said no at Final Vows, Adrian and Awhina ended up spending the night together. However, their relationship soon fizzled out and they entered the MAFS reunion separately.

Adrian told Chattr he no longer speaks to Awhina, and he isn’t pleased with what she’s been saying about him to the media.

“We remained friends the whole time. It was only up until the last couple of weeks where [I’ve seen] all the stuff she’s saying about me and all the things that she’s like backtracking and it’s obviously upsetting to see,” Adrian said.

When asked if he could see a future with Awhina, he said no.

“No, not after the damage that has been done from what [Awhina] has done to me,” he says. “Cleo [has come] out and [is] saying all these things… doing the most to try and make my character look bad. Like it wasn’t enough the show [has] done that, but now you’re doing it and I just don’t agree with it.”

Another insider claimed that Awhina wasn’t really into Adrian, saying: “A lot of people were just [on MAFS] for the air time… so it wasn’t a surprise at all [that Awhina wrote Stay after Friends and Family Week], because everyone who was there were there to be influencers, or they were actors.”

Their relationship was previously tested during Final Test Week, when both Adrian and Awhina opted to meet an alternate match arranged by the experts. Guess they weren’t convinced they were perfect for each other!

Things then hit a breaking point during the Final Dinner Party. Despite arriving hand-in-hand, it didn’t take long for the cracks to show, especially after Adrian backtracked on trying long-distance “for the right person,” and Awhina called him out: “I am not the right person. Say it.”

In the end, Awhina was pretty done. She literally said “F*ck final vows,” before walking out of the Dinner Party, saying she “doesn’t want to be here wasting my time anymore.”

Meanwhile, Adrian’s been on TikTok trying to convince his followers that he and Awhina are still together. On Valentine’s Day, he uploaded a video of himself giving Awhina a rose. The video then panned to the two reality stars looking cosy, with Adrian kissing her on the cheek.

“Cupid (experts) did well,” the video was captioned.

On the same day, Adrian was also spotted picking Awhina up from a MAFS girls’ reunion in Melbourne, captured by Josh Fox from the MAFSfunny Instagram page and podcast.

The first rumours of Awhina and Adrian’s split came earlier this year, after Yahoo! Lifestyle reported Adrian was spotted holding hands with a mystery woman on Friday, January 31st.

“I was in the city on Friday night, see a bloke who looks super familiar — I’m like wait a sec, that’s Adrian from MAFS and he’s holding hands with a girl,” the source said.

“I then notice that it’s not the girl he got married to on the show and they were looking very cosy together.”

Adrian claimed the man was actually his twin brother, James, but has since come forward on the MAFSFunny podcast and admitted that it was him with a woman he casually dated called Geneva. Considering that the pics were snapped after the filming of MAFS 2025 had wrapped — paired with the insider info — things don’t bode well for the couple.

Verdict: Not together.

Carina Mirabile and Paul Antoine

Carina Mirabile wasn’t super happy to see Paul Antoine on their wedding day, because they’d already dated. After going on a hiking date, Paul ghosted Carina. Yikes.

While the couple seemed to have gone from strength to strength since then, Paul and Carina stayed until the Final Vows but broke up at the ceremony.

Their relationship came to an end during an “explosive fight” in Final Test Week, after the contestants were given the chance to meet another match lined up by the experts.

Paul decided to meet his backup match Hannah for a date… because he was “curious”. Curiosity killed the cat, Paul!

“Paul took up the challenge and Carina thought it was cheating, so she cried about it. This challenge basically broke up their relationship,” an insider explained.

The couple had a fierce argument with Carina saying she was “embarrassed” and told him to “pack his shit and leave”.

Adding to the list of Paul’s mistakes, he also punched a door during a heated argument with Carina earlier in the season.

On top of that, a TikToker has posted what appears to be screenshots of a flirty conversation between her and Paul after he slid into her DMs in November.

In another plot twist, Carina hinted in a Chattr interview in early February that she and Paul were still together.

“To be fair, my phone is going off, and I’m just enjoying life with Paul and all the rest of the cast that are my friends,” she said at the time, speaking about people in her life asking about MAFS drama.

We’re not buying it.

Verdict: Unlikely.

Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels

Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels looked low-key alarmed to see each other on their wedding day, because it turns out they’ve already been there, done that! The pair dated for about a month before things “fizzled out”, and their biggest challenge looks to be getting out of the friend zone.

While they were spotted holding hands while out and about back in September 2024, Rhi recently spilled some info about her Valentine’s Day plans for this year… and initially, there wasn’t a mention of Jeff.

“Us girls are getting together and having a Galentine’s Day, just catching up for a nice lunch for Valentine’s Day,” she told Daily Mail. “Not sure what we’ll do at night.”

However, the brains behind popular MAFS Instagram account and podcast MAFSfunny, Joshua Fox, staked out the girls’ lunch and spotted Jeff dropping Rhi and Carina Mirabile off, with Jeff giving Rhi a kiss goodbye.

The couple certainly seem like one of the most loved-up couples on screen at the moment, but there *could* be a bit of a hiccup when Rhi shares a bed with Eliot Donovan during the partner swap.

Even though there could be some rocky moments, another source has confirmed to Chattr that the two are still going strong.

Jeff and Rhi were recently seen looking pretty cute together as they celebrated Jeff’s 40th birthday in Melbourne. Daily Mail shared snaps of the pair holding hands as they walked down the street, so it looks like they’re still together!

Jamie Marinos also told Chattr that Rhi and Jeff are the real deal.

“Rhi and Jeff’s dynamic is just the complete opposite of what you’d find in the experiment, where it’s just not toxic at all. They’re just two people enjoying their time and being really kind to each other, which is really nice… there’s a lot of potential,” Jamie spilled.

Rhi and Jeff successfully made it through Final Test Week without any hiccups, unlike many of the other couples.

Rhi and Jeff make it to Final Vows and they say yes, plus both dropped the L-word. Adorable!

Verdict: Very likely.

Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias

Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias joined MAFS 2025 as an intruder couple, walking down the aisle in Episode 14.

A major twist in the rumour mill early on, which threatened to throw a spanner in the works, was Teejay’s reported history with fellow bride Jamie — a detail she chose to reveal at Beth and Teejay’s televised wedding, no less. However, the revelation never made it to air.

Despite the potential drama, things seem to be going smoothly for the couple! Even for Beth, who has never been in a relationship before.

During their time on the commitment ceremony couch, Teejay described their connection as “smooth sailing.”

“We’re like two cups of still water,” he said… whatever that means?

“I wasn’t expecting to click with someone so quickly,” Beth added. Cute.

These two seem pretty drama free, but it means they don’t get much air time. So while they’ve been in the experiment for a little bit now, they seem like side characters.

Jamie told Chattr that Beth and Teejay were a “strong” couple, plus a quick Insta check confirms they’re still following each other, which is a pretty good sign.

However, the couple left the show before Final Vows, which probably means they’re no longer together.

On top of that, Teejay has recently voiced to Beth that he’s not feeling a spark with her and doesn’t see a future for them. In an interview with Chattr, the MAFS groom said he regretted getting intimate with Beth before revealing his true feelings to her.

“Watching it back now, I think it was definitely the wrong decision [to have sex with Beth],” Teejay admitted. “I definitely don’t think that I should have even put forward the idea.”

Verdict: Very unlikely.

Eliot Donovan and Veronica Cloherty

Eliot Donovan was given a second with new bride Veronica Cloherty. He seemed smitten with her at the altar, but cracks started showing up after a couple swap scandal involving Rhi Disljenkovic, plus Veronica’s Honesty Letter, which was filled with comparisons to her Partner Swap match, Dave.

The couple arrived separately for the Episode 20 Dinner Party, after Veronica wasn’t happy with Eliot’s intimacy week letter writing task. Apparently, his memory of how distraught he was when his younger sister went into a coma wasn’t emotional enough…?!

Things finally came to a head in Episode 29’s Commitment Ceremony, and per what an insider also told Chattr, the two decided to call it quits, thus never making it to Final Vows. 

Eliot and Veronica’s ongoing clashes were on full display, with Eliot accusing Veronica of “blatant lies” and admitting he felt she “hates his guts.” 

While Veronica denied that, she stated, “I don’t think there was hope for this eventuating into anything more.”

Eliot said he could walk away knowing, “I really did give it my best shot.” So, at least there’s that I guess?

Verdict: Not together

Ashleigh Ackerman and Jake Luik

Ashleigh Ackerman and Jake Luik were torn apart by the photo ranking challenge, after Jake made some controversial comments. You know, like ones that started with “I’m not racist…” — never a good sign, Jake!

At the Commitment Ceremony, Jake wrote “Leave” while Ash wrote “Stay”, meaning the couple had to stick around for another week. However, Jake was over the drama, and he broke the rules and left the next day. Another couple bites the dust!

Verdict: Not together.

Lauren Hall and Eliot Donovan

Lauren Hall and Eliot Donovan seemed to hit it off at first, but everything crumbled on their honeymoon. Eliot had a list of non-negotiables that he refused to budge on, including how many children he wanted and his desire for a younger partner.

Eliot left during their honeymoon and hasn’t been seen since, so this is one MAFS couple that is well and truly over. There’s more drama on the horizon though, with Lauren and Eliot returning with new partners.

And if you’d like to revisit where we left off with the couples that were still together after MAFS 2024 wrapped up, you can have a read-through of that, too.

Verdict: Not together.
