jacqui clint engaged mafs 2025 proposal reunion

We have our first Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 engagement, after Clint Rice asked Jacqui Burfoot to marry him in a unique setting.

MAFS is a big part of their story — though they were originally matched with other people — but Clint chose to pop the question during a MAFS reunion viewing party. It doesn’t exactly scream romance, but these two seem pretty damn happy. 

During a Q&A session, Clint took a microphone and said: “Since we’ve got a room full of new friends… from what you’ve done, and honestly, you’re an absolute star and a star in my life.

“You’re amazing and I know we’ve talked about a lot, a lot about our future and our future plans. We signed up for Married at First Sight to get married, [and] to find a life partner. So I’ve got one question for you.”

Clint got down on one knee before pulling out a little ring box. She started screaming and hugging Clint, before nodding yes.

When Jacqui saw the ring, she screamed again and seemed to say, “Are you kidding?!”

Jacqui shared a video showing off her ring on Instagram, set to Lover by Taylor Swift. On her Instagram story, the happy couple shared a kiss to celebrate. 

How did Ryan react to Jacqui’s engagement?

Jacqui’s ex Ryan Donnelly wasn’t in attendance, as he seems to be at a different viewing party alongside Rhi Disljenkovic, Jeff Gobbels, Teejay Halkias, Eliot Donovan, Awhina Rutene, Beth Kelly and Jamie Marinos

However, he soon heard about his ex’s new bling through the rumour mill.

“I just wanna say cheers to the happy couple,” he told Daily Mail. “It was completely candid, unplanned, not a publicity stunt whatsoever. I’m so happy.”

How long have Clint and Jacqui been together?

Clint and Jacqui got together two weeks after Final Vows, when she chose to walk away from Ryan. 

The former pro-golfer paid to fly Jacqui to Tasmania to go on a date, and the couple ended up making plans to move in together just weeks later.

Since then, Jacqui has been living in Clint’s Tasmanian mansion, and has told fans he supports her as she tries to take down her ex Ryan and Channel 9.

Looks like we’ve got one major success story from MAFS 2025, and it’s not thanks to the experts!

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