MAFS Toxic Coup: Jacqui and Ryan Spotted Separately, Relationship over?
In a turn of events following several tumultuous weeks, the highly debated pair from Married At First Sight, Ryan Donnelly and Jacqui Burfoot, appear to have ended their union.
The pair were spotted arriving separately to this week’s Dinner Party in Sydney, sparking speculation their tumultuous relationship has reached breaking point.
Pictures captured by Daily Mail Australia depict Ryan, aged 37, exuding elegance in a well-fitted charcoal suit, as he emerges from a sleek black Audi Q7.
The Sydney-based project manager appeared focused, adjusting his blazer as he prepared for what could be the most explosive dinner party yet.
Simultaneously, Jacqui, aged 29, boldly appeared wearing a vivid lime-green uneven dress. She protected herself from the rain using a transparent umbrella while exiting yet another car.
The woman’s facial expression was clearly not happy, suggesting that there might be trouble in the couple’s relationship and making people wonder if it is on the brink of ending.
Following the chaotic Homestays Week that culminated in an explosive confrontation between Ryan and Jacqui, onlookers recount a dramatic event that may have signaled the demise of their relationship.
A source close to production told Daily Mail Australia that Ryan was already dreading Jacqui’s visit to his Campbelltown home and had warned her to ‘leave her elitist attitude at the door’.
However, tensions escalated immediately, with Jacqui allegedly criticising every inch of his house, from his artwork to the two eggs left in his fridge.
The source disclosed that she walked around, highlighting defects as if she were a subpar real estate agent critiquing a property.
‘She even wrote a list of things he needed to change on his whiteboard—like she was grading him!’
Things hit rock bottom when Jacqui met Ryan’s beloved dog, Freya.
Initially, Ryan was eager to present the dog, but a turn of events occurred as Jacqui declined to adhere to Ryan’s guidance regarding how to walk the puppy.
‘She let the leash out completely and Freya nearly tripped them over,’ the source said.
‘Ryan asked her to just do it his way, and she flat-out refused.’
Frustrated, Ryan reportedly snatched the leash from Jacqui’s hands, calling her out for her behaviour.
‘That was the final straw for him,’ the insider continued.
‘He began to recount all the hurtful comments she had made towards him, such as teasing about his facial hair and labeling his house as old-fashioned. It was in that moment he understood—this relationship wasn’t sustainable.’
Later that night, when things had already been difficult, Jacqui found herself being questioned by Adam and Carla, her closest friends, as to why she was associated with Ryan.
‘They said, ‘You’ve done nothing but criticise him. Why are you here?”
Instead of remaining silent, it’s said that Jacqui retaliated by hurling further accusations, this time labeling Ryan as a ‘deceiver’.
‘Adam lost it. He told her, ‘You clearly can’t stand him. Why don’t you just leave?”
Moments later, Jacqui stormed out, leaving Ryan sitting there stunned.
Married At First Sight continues Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine.
