After a season of twists and turns, we bet you’re all wondering which Married a First Sight Australia 2024 couples are still together IRL.
From cheating scandals and body shaming to faux-lationships and risky texts, the 11th series of the marriage experiment has left our kettles overflowing.
And whilst there’s no end to the drama, not all of the relationships that graced our screens had the ingredients to last in the real world (i.e. genuine love).
Whether they’re in a showmance or a real relationship, we’ve got the tea on which Married at First Sight Australia 2024 couples are still together.
Tori Adams and Jack Dunkley
From holding off on intimacy to remaining at the centre of drama, Tori Adams and Jack Dunkley are arguably the most controversial couple of the season.
Shockingly, after passing Final Vows with flying colours, the delulu duo are still together. Tori has even moved to the Gold Coast to live with Jack in an apartment which we can only imagine stinks of tuna and rice!
Despite being spotted looking cosy AF, people aren’t convinced they’re the real deal. Rumours have been swirling that they’re keeping up appearances for OnlyFans opportunities.
Jack has also *allegedly* cheated on Tori multiple times since filming wrapped, and she knows ALL about it. So it sounds like those showmance rumours have some truth to them…
Lauren Dunn and Jonathan McCullough
ICYMI: Lauren Dunn‘s hubby, Jonathan McCullough, was exposed for sending flirty texts to Ellie Dix during the experiment. And lo and behold, he’s now in a relationship with her IRL.
After Jonathan’s suggestive messages were exposed, he and Lauren dumped each other during their Final Vows.
Whilst Ellie and Jonathan are still going strong, we’re yet to discover whether our queen Lauren has found her king.
But there have been some rumours swirling about a Bali bae…
Eden Harper and Jayden Eynaud
Eden Harper and Jayden Eynaud’s journey in the marriage experiment was relatively smooth sailing. However, we’ve heard things were slightly rockier when the cameras weren’t rolling.
Nonetheless, they breezed through Final Vows, and despite breaking up four times IRL, they’re still going strong today.
Unlike some of their co-stars (ahem: Tori and Jack), we think the rumours that Jayden and Eden had a secret pact to stay together are a crock of sh*t.
Sara Mesa and Tim Calwell
From cheating scandals to cancelled dates, Sara Mesa and Tim Calwell‘s journey on the marriage experiment was turbulent, to say the least.
Despite this, they made it through Final Vows and the Reunion as a couple before calling it quits.
Tim has since been spotted kissing his rumoured ex-girlfriend, Barbara Griebeler, on the Gold Coast. And wasn’t he worried about Sara not being over her ex?
Jade Pywell and Ridge Barredo
Whilst intruders Jade Pywell and Ridge Barredo had a drama-free time experiment, things got spicy when they entered the real world.
After sticking it out through Final Vows and the Reunion, Jade discovered that Ridge had cheated on her MULTIPLE times. Which isn’t very deece, if you ask us!
However, it seems the duo have worked through their differences. They’ve even been spotted house hunting together on the Gold Coast! So they’re still together — for now anyway…
Lucinda Light and Timothy Smith
Sadly, fan favourites Lucinda Light and Timothy Smith left the experiment during the March 24 Commitment Ceremony.
Despite going through their fair share of ups and downs, fans were hopeful that the unlikely pair would go the distance.
However, after Timothy pushed Lucinda away a few too many times, it was time for Australia’s queen to put herself first and reign alone. Of course, she delivered a heartfelt poem in true Lucinda style before she bid our screens farewell.
Luckily, we’ve heard Lucinda may be back on our radars in some capacity very soon, but only time will tell…
Andrea Thompson and Richard Sauerman
The show’s “oldest ever” couple, Andrea Thompson, 52, and Richard Sauerman, 62, left the experiment after failing to overcome their challenges.
From the cooked Photo Ranking challenge to Richard using Andrea’s trauma against her, it’s safe to say the duo’s relationship was doomed from the start.
Despite trying to rebuild the electric chemistry they shared at their wedding, the pair weren’t able to salvage their relationship.
In one of the most tearful couch sessions yet, the duo threw in the towel and scarf (sorry, Richard!). Despite their bitter ending, we’ve heard they’ve remained close friends IRL!
Cassandra Allen and Tristan Black
Fan-favourites Cassandra Allen and Tristan Black sadly bid farewell to the experiment during the March 17 Commitment Ceremony.
Despite being radiant humans, the pair were never really on the same page throughout their MAFS journey.
Things turned sour when Cassandra admitted she didn’t feel the same way as Tristan after he confessed he was falling for her. Ouch!
However, the mature participants came to the natural conclusion that they were better off as friends. And we’ve heard they’ve both already moved on…
Michael Felix (again) and Stephen Stewart
Same-sex couple Michael and Stephen Stewart left the experiment during the March 10 Commitment Ceremony.
Things got off to a rocky start when Stephen found out he was Michael’s replacement groom, causing doubt to settle in.
However, sh*t really hit the fan when Michael caught Stephen flirting with the hairdresser at a publicity shoot.
Stephen then admitted he felt “more of a spark” with the hairdresser within 30 seconds of knowing him than he did in his whole two and a half weeks with his hubby. Ouch.
Sources also told So Dramatic! that Stephen just wasn’t into Michael. So it’s safe to say the pair were doomed from the start. And we think Michael should pull a Lizzie Sobinoff and return for the 2025 season…
Ellie Dix and Ben Walters
After hearing his list of things he didn’t like about his wife, it’s unclear why Ellie Dix didn’t dump Ben Walters from day one.
However, the duo finally called it quits during the March 3 Commitment Ceremony. Ellie had enough of her hubby’s BS (and attempts to gain exposure for his podcast).
Everyone knows that the former bride is now dating her co-star Jonathan, whom she was texting during filming. So, we’re not surprised that Ellie and Ben waved the experiment goodbye.
Madeleine Jevic and Ash Galati
From “psychic downloads” to crying over cows, it’s no wonder intruders Ash Galati and Madeleine Jevic were the second couple to leave the marriage experiment.
Ash wrote “stay”, and Madeleine wrote “leave” at the Commitment Ceremony, keeping them in the experiment for another week. However, the duo ended up leaving the following day after the Home and Away actress–turned–psychic medium pulled a runner.
Per Yahoo! Lifestyle, the couple’s abrupt exit came down to “duty of care”.
Apparently, “Madeleine’s erratic behaviour had raised quite a few eyebrows during her first week on the show”.
“It felt easier to let her go as questions about her state of mind, with the pressure of the experiment, had already been raised by other cast members and crew,” one source explained.
Natalie Parham and Collins Christian
Natalie Parham and Collins Christian were the first couple to officially leave the Married at First Sight experiment. And good riddance!
Things went south between the pair instantly after sharing the most un-romantic honeymoon we’ve ever seen.
Sh*t went from bad to worse when the groom started putting on painful performances every time someone asked him about his relationship.
Despite trying to leave the experiment TWICE before finally bidding the show farewell, Natalie was held back by her hubby’s “clout-chasing” antics.
However, after calling him out for his “Oscars performance”, the queen finally freed herself, leaving Collins to wallow in the sadness of the death of his 15 minutes of fame.
