From secret relos to exposed cheating scandals, keep scrolling to find out everything we know about the Married at First Sight Australia 2024 Reunion…
Which couples are still together at the Reunion?
Unsurprisingly, Jack Dunkley and Tori Adams, Jayden Eynaud and Eden Harper and Jade Pywell and Ridge Barredo are all still together at the Reunion.
Sara Mesa and Tim Calwell, who were surprisingly able to rebuild their spark after Sara’s cheating scandal, also rocked up as a couple.
“By the end of the experiment, they have a big redemption. It’s a genuine love story, and they finish the show together,” one source told So Dramatic!.
“They’re also still together at the Reunion a month after Final Vows. However, they’ve obviously broken up since then.“
And after reports that Tim was allegedly back with his ex, we’re hardly surprised.
Two bombshells at the Reunion contributed to Sara Mesa and Tim Calwell’s breakup
As dished in episode 371 of the So Dramatic! podcast, Sara and Tim’s romance began to unravel upon the revelation that Tim had been spied on a dating app.
“Jade dropped a huge bombshell that her friend had recently seen Tim on Tinder,” one participant revealed.
“Sara was completely caught off guard. She was embarrassed because they had been sitting there all loved up all night.”
Jonathan McCullough also dropped his own secret, revealing Tim had told him “if he had more time, he may have made a different decision about staying with Sara at the Final Vows”.
“Sara was completely blindsided and hurt because they were still together and doing so well. She was really upset and crying,” one insider recalled.
“Tim and Sara went outside and had a huge fight about it.”
Ellie and Jonathan walk into the Married at First Sight Reunion ‘hand-in-hand’
ICYMI: Ellie Dix, who was matched with Ben Walters, and Jonathan, who was coupled with Lauren Dunn, were caught messaging each other behind their partners’ backs.
And So Dramatic! can reveal that Ellie and Jonathan, who are now together IRL, waltzed into the Reunion hand-in-hand!
To make matters worse, Ben only finds out about this recoupling at the Reunion. Yikes!
“I didn’t find out until the Reunion that they were a couple,” Ben told So Dramatic!. “I wasn’t surprised. They seem well-suited. I predicted many weeks before. I suspected something fishy was going on.”
Lauren also “had no idea they were fully together by this point, so it was a bit of a blindside for her” too!
“The worst thing was that when they walked in, neither of them acknowledged or said hello to Lauren,” one co-star said.
“Lauren started crying because everyone was congratulating them and so happy for them. She was upset because they didn’t give her a heads-up that they were coming to the Reunion together.
“So she felt humiliated by the surprise.”
Jonathan McCullough gets ROASTED by the experts at the Reunion
According to one participant, Jonathan got “absolutely annihilated for the Ellie thing” by the experts.
“The experts said they didn’t believe it started after the show and that he only realised they wanted to be with Ellie after he had left the experiment because they were obviously messaging each other the whole time,” they recalled.
He was also exposed for throwing Lauren under the bus when she exposed Jack’s foul Couple Swap joke about wife Tori.
One source dished: “Jono denied telling Lauren about the couple swap comment when Jack confronted him at the dinner party, but at the reunion, they played the clip back.
“It showed Jono saying that Jack had said what Lauren had accused him of, and also that he was going to back Lauren up when she confronted him about it, after later claiming he didn’t know she was going to say anything.
“The experts roasted him for it.” As they should!
What’s more, is that they slammed Jonathan for having loose lips.
“The experts made a comment about it, saying, ‘If you have a secret you don’t want to come out, don’t tell Jono.’” LOL.
Jayden ‘throws Eden under the bus’ at the MAFS Reunion
Despite presenting a united front whilst the cameras were rolling, we’ve heard Jayden Eynaud and Eden Harper‘s perfect facade will come crashing down.
“When we saw their edit played back at the Reunion, we got to see what had really been going on behind closed doors, and there was actually a lot,” one MAFS star said.
“They had huge problems, but they just never opened up about it on their couch sessions or to anyone else.” Juicy!
However, sh*t especially hit the fan when Jayden EXPOSED Eden for telling him about Sara’s cheating scandal!
“Jayden admits that Eden made up the fake story that Jayden saw it on her phone when he walked past, and that’s how he found out,” one participant said in episode 363 of the So Dramatic! podcast. “It was a total lie to cover her ass.”
MAFS‘ Lauren is OUTED for having a SECRET ‘Bali boyfriend’
Per New Idea, rumours were swirling that Lauren was “pining after” a man she’d had a fling with in Bali not long before filming commenced.
Jack (A.K.A Lauren’s arch nemesis) told TV WEEK that she went “back to this guy [after filming], which all comes out at the Reunion, and he rejects her”.
However, sources close to Lauren have since told So Dramatic! that the story has been “completely blown out of proportion”.
“It was just a holiday fling before the show and a bit of fun as one does in Bali,” they said.
Cassandra Allen and Sara Mesa’s Reunion blow-up
Tim wasn’t the only one Sara had a run-in with at the MAFS Reunion.
In a promo for the two-part episode, Cassandra Allen appeared to blow up at an unknown bride, calling her out for being “fake”.
So Dramatic! can exclusively reveal that the bride she directed that at was Sara.
“Cass blew up at Sara for no reason at all. She just kept making comments,” one participant said. “The experts asked her what her issue with Sara is.
“She then said, ‘You’re the fakest woman I’ve ever met in my life.’”
The source added: “All season, Cass was coming for Sara and making comments like this to her. Even before the stuff with her ex came out.
“Sara hit back, saying, ‘Cass, you’ve never spoken more than two words to me.’” Spicy!
Collins Christian is still salty AF at Natalie Parham for leaving the experiment
As previously reported by So Dramatic!, Collins Christian was salty AF when Natalie Parham decided to quit the experiment after a week, ultimately ending their experience far sooner than he’d hoped.
So, it’s no surprise that he was still “not happy and he made that very clear” at the Reunion.
“He was saying he was pissed off that he got the short straw and that it was unfair he got paired with a girl whose dad just died and was really sad the whole time,” one participant said.
“Nat was very sympathetic to him. She could understand why he was disappointed and empathised with him. She knew everyone had sacrificed a lot to be on the show.
“But she also reiterated that they didn’t form a connection, and then everything just spiralled out of control because of that.”
Another MAFS star said that Natalie “tried to explain the situation and her feelings” but Collins “wasn’t having a bar of it”.
“He was so hostile and immature towards her that in the end, she said, ‘Look, that’s fine if you feel that way. We don’t need to be friends. Let’s just end the conversation here. I’m going to walk away, and you can stay here. Goodbye’,” they recalled.
“And that was that. They didn’t speak again and just avoided each other for the rest of the night.”
Jack Dunkley calls out co-stars for trying to get his ex to come to the Reunion
As previously reported by So Dramatic!, a number of the MAFS cast attempted to contact Jack’s ex, Courtney, and invite her to the Reunion after he talked mad sh*t about her on several occasions.
While she didn’t respond to anyone, she allegedly gave Jack the heads up that Timothy was one of them.
Jack then brought it up at the reunion dinner party, telling Timothy he had “a bone to pick”.
“He said, ‘Did you try to contact my ex?’ Timothy started laughing and said, ‘Yes, I did’,” one participant recalled.
“Jack then said, ‘Yeah, she told me and said, ‘Who is this disgusting creep trying to creep on me?’”
They continued: “Timothy just lost it at it him. He said he wasn’t creeping on her.
“He was trying to help an innocent girl clear her name because Jack had defamed her on national TV.”
Another participant added: “Lauren, Sara and Timothy pretty much annihilated Jack, as usual.
“Tori and Jack eventually stormed out of the dinner party and left.”
It’s unlikely that this will make the final edit, however, as Courtney is pursuing legal action against Jack and Channel Nine, prohibiting the network from mentioning her on air.
Jack Dunkley and Tori Adams storm out of the Reunion AGAIN
When the cast returned to set the next day to film the Reunion Commitment Ceremony with the experts, Tori and Jack were allegedly p*ssed upon seeing their recap.
“Tori and Jack blew up at producers and accused them of giving them a bad edit, and claimed that they didn’t show any of their good times together,” one insider revealed.
“They went ballistic and chucked a hissy fit. It was so intense.”
Apparently, they were “so shocked” because they “thought they were the main characters and the best couple on the show”.
“It wasn’t a bad edit; it was the truth, exactly how they were and what happened, and how every other single person there saw it,” the insider said.
The MAFS participant added that “Jack had dug himself the biggest web of lies ever”, which was exposed when the experts played back scenes from their relationship.
“It was wild,” they recalled. “Jack denied everything, and Tori defended him as usual.
“Jack and Tori both started crying. That’s how bad it was.”
Eventually having enough of the grilling, the couple reportedly “stormed out of the Reunion and left”.
