Married at First Sight’s Ryan Donnelly appears to have a new girlfriend
As revealed in episode 507 of the So Dramatic! podcast, it looks like Ryan has found a new lover outside of the experiment, as the self-described “warrior” appears to be dating a woman named Jennie.
Jennie, who works as a DJ, debuted Ryan on Instagram in February. Ever since, she’s been sharing several loved-up posts with him. In one snap, she’s even kissing his neck, suggesting that they’re more than just friends.
When asked if she was Ryan’s new girlfriend, Jennie cryptically told So Dramatic!: “Now you know I can’t give anyone the answer to that… Everyone will just have to wait and see,” alongside the upside down smiling emoji.
And this seems like a confirmation to us!
Are Married At First Sight Australia 2025‘s Jacqui Burfoot and Ryan Donnelly still together?
On February 10, Jacqui went rogue on Instagram to spoil the outcome of her relationship with Ryan.
“I’m currently in a relationship with a person who was exactly what I asked for,” the TV bride wrote on her Story.
“[He’s] kind, considerate, a great man, and intelligent. Sometimes miracles happen because today I am in fact in happy and in a loving long-term relationship!”
Whilst fans were confused as to whether Jacqui was referring to a new man or whether Ryan had come out of the experiment as a brand new person, all was revealed in a follow-up Story.
Alongside a pic with Ryan, she wrote: “Honestly, at this point, our favourite activity was taking photos together. Maybe also board games, and sports. We had nothing else in common and spent free time apart.”
