Married at First Sight‘s Mitch Eynaud has reached peak f*ckboy status after his Final Vows ceremony to Ella Ding was left on an ambiguous AF note.
After a rollercoaster of a relationship that left Ella unsure where she stood with her TV hubby, the 27-year-old kween still gave Mitch the benefit of the doubt. And so, she laid it all on the line during her vows, asking him to commit to her.
Mitch’s response, however, was lacklustre, to say the least. In short, he told his faux wife that he “can’t give [her] what she wants right now”. Yep, that was the sound of Australia collectively weeping.
TBH, we just want to give Ella a big ass cuddle after her groom-turned-Eshay brah literally left her heartbroken.
Naturally, Twitter did what Twitter does best and delivered some top-tier drags for ol’ mate Mitch. But first let’s rehash what went down in the lead up to their Final Vows.
What Happened In the Lead Up to Ella and Mitch’s Final Vows?
After a blow-up at the final MAFS dinner party and a tense AF last morning in Skye Suites, Ella and Mitch were both on edge walking into the Final Vows. Ella had even removed her wedding band after returning home.
While contemplating his decision, Mitch blamed his TV wife for the breakdown of their relationship, and Ella, babes — run.
He complained that Ella needs “all these things in a relationship,” with “things” being some open communication and genuine affection. Yep, she’s asking for heaps (not)!
Ella’s Final Vows
Ella began her Final Vows by reflecting on their Married at First Sight Australia 2022 journey, admitting that she had missed her groom since leaving Sky Suites.
She pandered to his ego a little, before hitting him with the dreaded “But”.
“We have different needs that need to be met. Different expectations,” she said. “Having a disagreement in our relationship shouldn’t mean end game or I’m done.”
“Maybe you are not ready for the level of commitment I am searching for… but I see potential in us and am willing to take the risk beyond this experiment and see where this could go.”
*Sigh*.
Mitch’s Final Vows
Okay, Mitch’s go.
“We have shared so many amazing moments together during this experiment… You excite me, you bring me out of my shell”.
The model continued: “Although you and I started out strong we definitely hit a few bumps along the way… And all these bumps seem to have a common theme — you saying that I don’t show enough affection, you not feeling good enough, you’re insecure.
“You have told me that you don’t think I am ready for a relationship… Then what do you think I have been doing here the entire time?” Is he trying to pull a Brent? If so, it ain’t working.
“It’s difficult to see a bright future with you when it seems the longer we spend with each other the more difficult the relationship gets and the more I realise maybe I am not the person you need.”
Eek, make it stop, please!
Mitch added that he didn’t see their MAFS pairing as a “substantial relationship”, but could not make a proper decision until he had been able to go back to his life, family and friends for a little bit.
“I will not be forced to make a decision I am not yet ready to make.”
He then asked her for “patience” and basically made no decision.
BRB, on our way to find Mitch’s backbone.
Twitter’s Reactions to MAFS‘ Mitch and Ella’s Final Vows
Fans took to Twitter during and after the doomed couples’ vows to gas up Ella — and sh*t on Mitch.
“Decisions are hard.” Are you fucking kidding me? It’s like Mitch wanted one last middle finger to the experiment (as a concept) one last time, because he hated being followed by cameras..

Mitch finished the experiment the way he lived it: by refusing to engage with it. Are we at all surprised? #MAFS #MAFSAU

Mitch saying “Ella wants all these things in a relationship” like she’s high maintenance makes my blood boil. Not only does he express disdain for perfectly valid & healthy relationship behaviours, he tries to turn things around on her and frame them as her insecurity. #MAFSAU

Mitch you are just a sleeze bag. You’ve got your notch and a bit of fame and now you’re off. Ella deserves way way way better than you. #MAFSAU

Ella was all class from start to finish. She is the total package. If Mitch was not a believer of the show and didn’t believe in the concept, why was he allowed to participate and break someone’s heart like that ? #MAFSAustralia #MAFS #mafsaunz #MAFSAU

Ella deserves someone that will treat her like the beautiful woman she is. She is an absolute catch and any man would be lucky to have her by their side. It’s not Mitch. He is not worthy. It’s a pity she thinks he is. Deserves better #MAFSAU #MAFS #mafsaunz #MAFSAustralia

Ella, you have been the hottest, most grounded, most caring woman on MAFS. Guys will be falling at your feet. You’re pure class, you’ve handled every situation with poise, strength & empathy, & we adore you for that #MAFSAU

Ella deserves 1000x better. She’s a 12/10 who doesn’t even know it #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/n73uIcq3Rx
