If you haven’t heard the rumours, Jacqui and Ryan are 100% actors. At least I hope they are. If that is real-life behaviour, we all need to give ourselves more praise. Let’s recap, shall we?
We kick off Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 Episode 14 with Jacqui crying again, even though it is Ryan who should be weeping. His wife has written a list of all the ways he has failed her, which is not an easy thing for a Warrior Princess to hear.

Jacqui has also contacted Jeff for some advice, but only if his wife, Rhi, doesn’t attend.

Teejay and Beth are our first MAFS intruders
Sadly, they have a MAFS 2025 wedding to attend first — Teejay the “Grindian” (Greek Indian) and Beth the Britstralian (Brit living in Australia).
Teejay mentions other arranged marriages in his family to justify the fact that he’s on reality TV again, and Beth declares her status as a relationship virgin.
They are a good fit for no other reason than both being fine to look at.

Jacqui loses her shit
Anyway, Jacqui makes Ryan’s life a living hell at this wedding, telling everyone how she was crying earlier.
Tears = serious, apparently.

“You cry when there’s not a full-length mirror in the room,” Rhi bites. While I appreciate the burn, I, too, hate an absent full-length mirror when it’s needed. Which is a regular occurrence in hotel rooms (why).
Side note: Jeff looks daddy with the facial hair, hey?
Anyway, Rhi Weiners has cracked. She tells the table about the message Jacqui sent her husband, probably because their storyline has been wildly irrelevant up until now.

You wouldn’t believe it, but Jacqui starts crying, bringing her MAFS 2025 tear tally to 15,327.
Jacqui cries even more when Ryan admits he doesn’t like her, forcing him to hug her while she lightly convulsed. I think she also cupped the air around his face to smell it?

It was all very odd, and her mascara found a new home on her upper cheek.
