As a seasoned observer of human relationships, I must admit that this year’s Married at First Sight UK experiment has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Watching these couples navigate their marriages through thick and thin has been both enlightening and heart-wrenching.


Following a tumultuous three-month journey filled with affection, turmoil, and tears, the British version of Married At First Sight reached its thrilling conclusion this week, with the remaining pairs choosing whether to continue their relationships or part ways.

In September, the experts Paul C Brunson, Mel Schilling, and Charlene Douglas reappeared on screen, aiming to pair up a fresh batch of individuals seeking a partner for long-term commitment.

In a consistent manner, pairs are joined according to scientific and societal principles, with the partners encountering each other for the initial time during the wedding ceremony.

After their wedding, they encounter the hurdles of married life – living together for the first time, trying to build a strong bond, and participating in weekly rituals that reinforce their commitment to each other.

Contrary to the frequent squabbles, hasty separations, and persistent speculation about splits, the series has proven to be a match made in heaven for certain individuals. It’s rumored that at least one pair from the show is still going strong even after the filming ended…

Alex Henry and Holly Ditchfield are the only couple who are thought to still be together.

In simple terms, a 28-year-old from Birmingham who works in aviation and a 29-year-old beautician from Huddersfield began their relationship on a positive note after meeting at the alter, as they expressed satisfaction with their match.

On the other hand, they encountered numerous obstacles along the way. Alex expressed a desire to marry someone who doesn’t have children, and even suggested the idea of swapping spouses, all while having heated disagreements.

The situation escalated dramatically towards the end of the study, following a massive argument at a pledge event which caused Holly to gather her belongings and depart immediately, thus ending her involvement with the project.

However, surprisingly, it appears that the duo may have reconciled, as they’ve been sharing posts on social media platforms over the past few weeks.

This week, they shared on Instagram that they were embarking on a scenic road trip through the Yorkshire Dales.

As reported by The Mirror, they have been spotted looking affectionate in Manchester, sharing a kiss on the street, which appears to suggest that their relationship has resumed once more.

Nathan Campbell and Lacey Martin – not together

It’s said that Nathan Campbell and Lacey Martin have split up, surprisingly, as they were among the few couples who survived the whole experiment.

24-year-old engineer from Somerset and the 27-year-old office manager based in Hertfordshire have found themselves in a fortunate situation, as their union has generally been smooth sailing compared to what some of their colleagues have experienced.

However, The Sun reported this week that the duo secretly called it quits after filming ended.

According to the source, Nathan and Lacey attempted to keep their romance alive outside of fantasyland, but it eventually lost its spark over time.

Initially, they took their final vows in February and appeared robust in April during the reunion filming. However, since then, they’ve decided to part ways.

“They were both sad it didn’t work out, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be.’

Ross McCarthy and Sacha Jones – not together

Among just four pairs, Sacha Jones and Ross McCarthy reached the final episode of the popular E4 show; however, their relationship didn’t survive post-filming.

32-year-old Ross confessed to 29-year-old Sacha that he had developed feelings for her after their TV wedding on E4, and their relationship continued to flourish throughout the show’s production.

Although the ex-Miss Birmingham had relocated from Walsall to Manchester due to her marriage, Ross unexpectedly broke off the relationship without providing much reason.

Additionally complicating the situation, Ross, the initial deaf contestant on the dating show, announced his new relationship on Instagram, leaving both Sacha and E4’s production team taken aback.

A representative from the TV station informed the managers of TopMob that they severely criticized the man with one child due to his rude actions towards Sacha, as he held a strong conviction that their relationship was destined for longevity.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about the inside scoop! Sacha herself confided that filming “Married At First Sight UK” was nothing short of extraordinary. She held onto the hope, deep in her heart, that her union with Ross would be the real deal and stand the test of time.

Initially, she relocated to Manchester with the intention of being with him. However, within only two weeks, he grew distant, and they broke up permanently.

Watching Sacha’s journey back on the show, as it airs, is making the processing of their breakup all the more challenging because it leaves them feeling deeply saddened.

It turned out that the producers weren’t pleased as well… Ross hinted at their broken relationship by sharing pictures of his new love interest, not minding the potential pain it might cause to his former spouse.

Sacha has announced that her marriage has ended, as evidenced by her listing her distinctive, custom-made wedding gown (originally worn without undergarments) for sale on Vinted on Thursday.

In spite of numerous disagreements and dramatic moments, Polly Sellman and Adam Nightingale reached their final vow commitments; however, they chose to part ways at the last obstacle.

During Monday’s dinner gathering, viewers witnessed the heated exchange between the couple as they hurled accusations. Notably, the career counselor, at the age of 28, labelled her spouse, aged 35, as a ‘self-centered egotist’.

Adam growled, “If you’re going to aggravate me and complain about everything today, it doesn’t make me want to return home and share intimacy with you.” Then, in a fit of anger, he knocked over his chair as he stood up.

In response, I firmly stated, “You’ve misguided me, you’ve toyed with my feelings, and you’ve truly frustrated me to no end,” before abruptly leaving.

During the reunion episode, both emotional tears and glasses of Prosecco flowed abundantly as Adam resumed his argument with Polly.

Upon rejoining the dinner gathering, Polly was warmly welcomed by the women, who inquisitively sought updates about her current situation with Adam. Polly disclosed that she had tried to reconnect but found herself met with rejection instead.

It came to light that Polly had been posting cryptic messages aimed at Adam on various social media platforms, circulated screenshots of his social media conversations in groups, and publicly disparaged him online.

In a bid to protect herself, Polly proposed that the social media content might concern other individuals. However, when Orson inquired if she had spent time with anyone apart from Adam, she chose not to disclose her response.

The expletive-laden exchange led to Polly throwing a glass of red wine over Adam, drenching his face and blue suit before she stormed off. 

Amy Kenyon-Brown and Luke Debono – not together

In the final chapter of our journey together, Amy Kenyon-Brown and Luke Debono stood side by side on the brink of making their lifelong commitments. However, as fate would have it, they parted ways brutally during the climactic moments of the last episode.

Instead of dramatic flair, she chose a poignant approach to signal the end of her marriage to the prison educator. At the last ceremony, she arrived wearing mourning clothes to make it clear that their union was “over, defunct, and expired”.

She expressed to him, “I find nothing you say credible. I value myself too much for you, and this union no longer serves any purpose. In essence, it’s over, finished, terminated. Today, as I stand before you, I choose to wear black, symbolizing its demise. Farewell.

In the reunion episode, Luke confided in the grooms that he’d penned a sincere letter appealing to Amy, asking for another chance at their marriage.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d share that I’d thoughtfully chosen a charming turtle brooch to gift on her special day, paired with a heartfelt note. I expressed my hope that she might consider wearing this token of our past as we meet again at the reunion, if there’s any chance for us.

But the former spouse failed to mention the contents of the letter he sent along with the gift.

Conversely, it was Amy who shared the content he had penned during a chat with several of the brides.

She told them: ‘In the letter it just basically said “I miss you, I miss waking up next to you and laughing with you.

Oh boy, as the finale unfolded, my heart pounded with anticipation. Yet, amidst all the triumph and zero remorse, there was a singular longing that gnawed at me – if only I could’ve knelt before you, right there in the kitchen while you were cooking, and expressed my unwavering devotion… not in the most conventional way, mind you, but by paying homage to your extraordinary talent, if you catch my drift.

Upon making that surprising comment, I found myself instinctively placing my hand over my mouth, momentarily stunned. Then, a wave of laughter swept over me, resonating harmoniously with the other brides who shared my astonishment.

Kristina Goodsell and Kieran Chapman – not together

Initially, it appeared as if Kristina Goodsell and Kieran Chapman were destined for each other. However, throughout the show, they frequently left audiences in suspense due to their tumultuous, emotionally charged relationship.

Initially, signs of strain emerged as Kieran, aged 28, found it challenging to cope with Kristina’s PMDD, a condition he wasn’t sure how to support effectively.

At the Ending Ceremony for the Channel 4 series, viewers found themselves emotionally moved, shedding tears, as the poignant ending wrapped up the characters’ tales.

After revisiting the crucial instances, Kristina remarked: ‘It was clear from our tearful expressions how deeply significant those moments were for us.’

Kieran stated, “Both of us had pure intentions when entering this experiment, and I deeply regret that it didn’t turn out as we hoped. I never intended to cause you pain.

After leaving the E4 show, it became known that Kieran had soon started a new relationship with another woman, which marked the end of his marriage.

In reference to their relationship, Kristina shared with the professionals: “I wasn’t very pleased when I learned he was seeing someone so offhandedly. It left me wondering, ‘What did this mean to him?’ since it meant everything to me.

Emma Barnes and Caspar Todd cordially decided to bring an end to their marriage towards the end of October, right in the middle of the series.

Emma, aged 31, was overcome with emotion at the commitment ceremony, expressing her desire to depart from the study to the experts, who were listening attentively.

34-year-old Caspar concurred with Emma, stating they were not compatible as a pair and often butted heads.

Casper mentioned the topic of emotional vulnerability to Emma, but she responded angrily, saying she wasn’t sure if she liked him enough.

‘For me it was just like what are we working for? I felt I didn’t deserve that comment.

‘I found myself wanting to depart last week, although I’ve invested quite a bit into this endeavor. When I realized that my efforts might not be appreciated, I began questioning why I was still involved.’

Emma expressed: ‘We keep going over the same ground, and I don’t feel like bringing up all the things that have annoyed us this week.’

Sionainn Carmichael and Ryan Livesy – not together

Previously on the program, contestants Sionainn Carmichael and Ryan Livesy unexpectedly left following a heated disagreement about laces on their shoes.

Two weeks prior, the couple stepped into the trial, but their marriage initiation wasn’t smooth sailing. The nervousness started creeping up on the makeup artist, at 29 years old, as she hesitated about walking down the aisle towards the garbage collector.

Sionainn cried when she confessed that Ryan’s unexpected behavior behind the scenes, similar to an old boyfriend, left her feeling uneasy.

Ryan shared with the others that they decided to part ways due to a minor disagreement stemming from him tying his shoelaces.

Ryan shared with the others that he will be departing: “I’m saying goodbye, gentlemen. We’ve had quite a disagreement.

He continued, expressing, “I was attempting to re-tie my shoelaces, but it was really frustrating me. Sionainn was trying to assist me, so I finally said, ‘Forget it, let’s call it quits for now.’

After that, she responded with, “Ah, please don’t talk to me in such a manner,” and promptly tossed the trainers onto the ground. In response, I asked, “What exactly do you mean by ‘speak to me like that?’ I merely told you to put them away.

As Sionainn shared her story about the girls, she broke down in tears, explaining, “I think I’ll head home now. There was a bit of an argument yesterday, you know, something minor like untied shoelaces.

“He talked to me in an extremely disrespectful manner, and I told him, ‘Ryan, you have no right to talk to me like that. You will not speak to me in such a rude way.’

‘And it just flipped. He decided to tell me that none of his feelings had ever been real. He’d been faking it all. It was all a holiday romance for him.’

Hannah Noburn and Stephen Nolson – not together

Hannah Noburn and Stephen Nolson were known for their turbulent marriage, marked by an affair and several instances where they exchanged partners with others.

It emerged that Orson, who is married to Richelle, and Hannah, the bride at age 33 of Stephen, had exchanged a kiss during the final night of their joint retreat.

At the same time, it appeared that Stephen, aged 33, was starting to have romantic feelings for Sionainn, but she did not reciprocate his affection.

As they settled onto the couch for a conversation with the specialists, Stephen elaborated, “It seems like she’s flirting with every married man. This only serves to further distance me.

While I acknowledge that our wedding day was indeed memorable, allow me to clarify a point from last week. Prior to submitting my resignation, I found myself questioning whether I could meet your expectations as a partner, stating “I’m not sure I can be the man you need.

He went on to say: “However, my current perspective is that I’m not interested in being your partner. It seems to me that you might not be committed to me; instead, I believe your intentions are focused elsewhere. To be honest, I’m unclear about the motives and purpose of your presence here. Consequently, given these factors, I’ve decided it’s best for me to move on.

Hannah added her thoughts by saying: “I believe it’s time for me to attempt an exit from this situation as peacefully as possible with everyone involved.

Although the past events may have taken their toll, I firmly believe that fundamentally, you possess goodness within you. You’re destined to bring joy to someone as a partner. Unfortunately, our relationship didn’t work out, and I’ve come to a point where I must move on.

During the reunion show, it became clear that Hannah and Orson had gone out on a date; however, they didn’t really hit it off.

Following the conclusion of the show, whispers started circulating that Hannah might be romantically involved with fellow contestant Ryan. This speculation left viewers astonished as they witnessed them both attending the reunion together.

According to a source, everyone on set was taken aback when Hannah entered the reunion holding hands with Ryan.

She emphasized that her friendly demeanor was often misunderstood, and the women in the group had mistakenly assumed incorrect intentions regarding her actions.

However, it appears that some of her colleagues’ suspicions were correct, as she was secretly kissing Orson and developing a bond with Ryan away from the camera.

Orson Nurse and Richelle Cade – not together

In the sixth week, Orson Nurse and Richelle Cade decided to gather their belongings and depart from the ongoing project due to a highly tumultuous and volatile marital relationship.

The situation deteriorated swiftly as Richelle, aged 48, accused Orson, 41, of using old, emotional tales from his past relationship, where his ex-girlfriend had been unfaithful five years earlier, during their conversations.

The drama came to a head when Orson dropped the cheating bombshell, admitting ‘On the last night of the retreat me and Hannah were speaking and we shared a kiss. There was a little connection there. I’m not going to lie.’

After contemplating, Richelle expressed her opinion about the marriage, stating she feels a sense of ‘urgency’ from Orson and that he is determined to remain involved ‘whatever it takes’.

I can’t help but passionately exclaim: “He spotted a chance to reconcile with Hannah and continue the journey. Seizing the moment, he didn’t hesitate. At this stage, you’re truly disgracing your own self.

Orson shared his conclusion, stating, “It felt as though I kept pushing and pushing with little progress, much like trying to extract liquid from a hard, unyielding rock.

‘Just get me out of here please,’ he swiped, after writing on his piece of paper: ‘Leave now’.

Richelle hit back with: ‘Before I came into this process I asked for a strong, intelligent man who has a bit of integrity and I haven’t found that in Orson at all.

As a dedicated observer, I must express my honest perspective: I perceive him as somewhat lacking in resolve, and it seems to me that he may not be as astute as he believes himself to be. It appears quite evident to many, I think, that there are aspects of his intellect or understanding that are less developed than average. Furthermore, there’s a strong impression of questionable integrity emanating from him.

‘So, one week too late, but it’s obvious – leave.’

Charlie Curtis and Eve Reid – not together

Initially popular following their successful wedding day, Charlie and Eve were the ones who exited the experiment first, having since moved on to new relationships.

Just a few hours after meeting Charlie, who’s 30 years old, she astonishingly admitted that she might have fallen in love with her newly wedded spouse, who’s 31.

After their honeymoon in Mexico, things took a turn for the worse when Eve expressed a desire for some personal space and chose to sleep in another room, even though they had both initially hit it off well and confessed to engaging in intimacy during the trip.

Then, Eve refused to take part in a letter writing task, which was the final straw for Charlie. 

On the other hand, it appears that both women have found happiness elsewhere. Charlie’s TikTok posts suggest he has a new companion, while Eve was recently seen at the airport accompanied by a different partner.
