The show is now over!

Author: Alex RossPublished 1st May 2024

With the last few series of Married At First Sight Australia serving up some of the biggest drama in the show's history, it's no surprise that fans were buzzing when the 2024 series started!

With filming taking place in the second half of 2023, the new series landed in Australia in January, and now it's concluded here in the UK. Here's your ultimate guide to series 11 of MAFS Australia, including the experts, the cast, and the explosive drama.

Which couples are still together?

Despite a number of couples still being together during the reunion show, only two couples remain now, as well as Jono and Ellie.

Check out which couples from MAFS Australia series 11 are still together below:

Jade and Ridge - TOGETHER

On first impression, it had looked like late comers Jade and Ridge were the complete opposite, with many thinking 27-year-old Ridge could be too 'immature' for mum-of-one Jade. However, as the experiment went on, Ridge proved to both Jade and the viewers at home that he was ready for a long-term relationship, with Jade even introducing him to her young daughter.


With just a few minor hiccups throughout, Jade and Ridge made it to the final vows, much to the delight of viewers.


Are Jade and Ridge still together?
They are! As well as looking loved-up at the reunion show, Jade and Ridge have been very active on each other's social media accounts, proving they are very much still enjoying spending time together outside of the experiment.


The pair were hit with 'cheating claims' after two of Ridge's ex-girlfriends claimed he'd slept with them after the show, whilst he was in a relationship with Jade. Ridge strongly denied the claims, saying in an online statement: 'I've never cheated on Jade. We've had our ups and downs like in any relationship, but I'd never disrespect the future mother of my kids like that.


'Maybe you guys should check your facts before believing every bit of rubbish that's posted on the internet.'


The pair have since revealed that they have moved in together, with Ridge sharing the sweet news on Instagram, revealing he made the move to the Gold Coast. Not only that, but the pair got fans talking when Jade shared a sweet tribute to Ridge on Instagram, with him commenting: 'Love you gorgeous 💍❤️'. The engagement ring emoji had fans convinced that he had popped the question, however neither party has confirmed or denied this.

Eden and Jayden - SPLIT

Throughout the experiment, 28-year-old Eden and 26-year-old Jayden were undoubtedly one of the strongest couples, sailing through the first few weeks with no drama. However, during the final few weeks, cracks started to appear for the pair, especially when they had conflicting feelings about the information Eden had received regarding co-star Sara meeting up with her ex.


Despite this, the couple did make it to the final vows and they looked very cosy together at the reunion, and on social media.


Are Eden and Jayden still together?
In a complete shock to fans, just days after posting photos together on social media, Eden and Jayden released statements to announce they'd decided to split.


Sharing a number of photos alongside Jayden, Eden told fans: 'When I made the decision at final vows to be with Jayden, I really did that with longterm intentions. Jayden & I spent many months together after the experiment, during which Cub gained a dad and I gained a second family who I'm truly grateful for.


'I'm saddened to share that toward the end of the show airing, our relationship came to an unexpected end. The 'reality' is, the person I chose didn't choose me. Whilst I'm disappointed, I will never regret the experiment, the people I met, the lessons I learnt and the growth this process has had on me.


'Thank you for supporting us and for also wishing for the same fairytale that I had hoped for'. (sic)

Tori and Jack - TOGETHER

It's fair to say 27-year-old Tori and 34-year-old Jack were the most controversial couple from the 2024 series, mainly thanks to Jack's behaviour and shocking comments such as "muzzle your woman." Despite both the experts and their fellow co-stars calling out Jack's behaviour, the couple defied the odds and seemed strong by the end, even getting intimate during Home Stays week.


Tori and Jack made it all the way to the final vows, with the pair going on to storm out of the reunion show, before Tori posted some telling comments that she no longer speaks to any of her co-stars.


Are Tori and Jack still together?
In what is pretty much a massive shock to every MAFS fan, Tori and Jack ARE still dating, and they've moved in together! In a recent interview, Jack even confessed he could propose to Tori within one year!

Sara and Tim - SPLIT

29-year-old Sara and 31-year-old Tim didn't have the easiest of journeys during the 2024 experiment. Despite Tim's attempts, Sara cancelled on three dates he'd planned, and it was later revealed she'd been messaging and also met up with her ex-boyfriend behind Tim's back during filming.


Despite this, Sara admitted her wrongdoing and apologised to Tim, something which he accepted, leading the pair to the final vow ceremony.


Are Sara and Tim still together?
Although the pair were still together during the reunion show, not long later Sara announced the pair had split, with her telling Daily Mail Australia: "Tim and I are on friendly terms. We hadn't really spoken post like the actual break-up, but we're actually very friendly now."


According to rumours, Tim is now dating somebody called Barbara who he knew before the show, but this hasn't been confirmed.

Ellie and Jono - TOGETHER

32-year-old Ellie was originally paired with 39-year-old Ben by the experts, it didn't take long for their relationship to crumble, with the couple deciding to leave during the fourth commitment ceremony.


Although 39-year-old Jono made it all the way to final vows 32-year-old wife Lauren, the pair split during the ceremony when Lauren ended things, after discovering from the group that Jono had been in contact with Ellie.


Lauren and Ellie went on to get into a rather fiery argument during the reunion show.


Are Ellie and Jono still together?
Despite the drama surrounding the start of their relationship, Ellie and Jono are now officially together, with things going very well for the pair. Jono's ex-wife Lauren has even given her blessing to the couple, admitting she wishes them the best. However, Jono has since accused Lauren of having another partner during the experiment, which was cut out in the editing room.

When did it air in Australia?

Series 11 started on Monday 29th January, airing on Channel Nine and 9Now. The final episode aired on Wednesday 3rd April.

Who are the experts?

John Aiken, Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla all returned for series 11, giving their expert opinions and helping this year's brides and grooms through the experiment.

52-year-old Mel revealed at the beginning of December that she'd been diagnosed with colon cancer, going on to reveal she'd had keyhole surgery to remove the tumour, which she referred to as 'Terry'.

Just three weeks after the surgery, Mel was back on set for MAFS, looking glamorous as ever!

Taking to social media after the show aired in the UK, John wrote: 'Thanks to the amazing UK audience for coming along for the @mafs Series 11 ride! We had plenty of drama, surprises, and of course love. It has been such a pleasure to share it with you all, and I can’t wait to get on board for the next experiment. #mafs #mafsau #finale #channel9 #9now'. (sic)

Are any couples from MAFS series 10 still together?

Only two couples remained from the 2023 series, including Tahnee Cook and Ollie Skelton, and Melinda Willis and Layton Mills. However, both couples confirmed they'd parted ways last year.

Evelyn Ellis and Duncan James, who weren't actually matched together on the show, did start dating after filming, and now they are more loved-up than ever.

Evelyn Ellis and Duncan James: DATING

Although these two weren't paired together, Eveyln and Duncan started hanging out after filming ended, with the pair confirming in May 2023 that they are now in a relationship!


As well as confirming the cute news on social media, the pair took part in an interview with Australia's 9Entertainment, where Duncan told the publication: "We started hanging out a little bit after the show. Everyone's sort of friends in the cast, and obviously me and you living in Sydney we probably hung out a little bit more.


"All of a sudden we went out on a couple of nights, and some of the warm fuzzy feelings happened in my stomach and I thought, 'What's this? How we going here?'


"Then... one thing led to another."

Tahnee Cook and Ollie Skelton: SPLIT

The show's youngest couple this year was 27-year-old PR manager Tahnee and 26-year-old voice-over artist Ollie, who had both given up with dating apps.


These two immediately hit it off, making it all the way to the final vows with basically no bumps in the road. After admitting during their final vows they were 'falling in love' with each other, these two lasted 16 months!


However, in December 2023, the pair took to Instagram to announce they'd split.

Melinda Willis and Layton Mills: SPLIT

31-year-old CEO's Melinda and Layton were paired together, with the experts hoping they could be a 'super couple', and it looks like they were nearly spot on!


After Melinda quickly got over her initial doubts about Layton, these two seemed to click into place, making it all the way to final vows and telling each other they love one another. The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary in September 2023.


However, much to the shock of fans in October 2023, the pair released a joint statement to confirm they'd split, with the pair saying: 'We still care very deeply for each other and this doesn't mean our lives can't come back together, but as of now, we think this decision is for the best.'

Claire Nomarhas and Jesse Burford: SPLIT

John, Mel and Alessandra chose to pair 31-year-old kindergarten assistant Claire with 30-year-old marriage celebrant Jesse Burford.


Although Claire 'cheated' on Jesse with Adam and owned up about it to her husband, these two actually became quite strong in the experiment. HOWEVER, thanks to co-star Harrison, Jesse started to get doubts over Claire's true feelings, with both of them later deciding to leave.


Despite the pair looking cosy at the reunion party, and Claire admitting she was heading over to Perth to see Jesse, it looks like things didn't work out romantically in the end.

Lyndall Grace and Cameron Woods: SPLIT

The experts paired together 27-year-old accountant Lyndall and 27-year-old carpenter Cameron.


Despite the first few weeks of the experiment going really well for the pair, with Lyndall quickly telling Cam about her Cystic fibrosis diagnosis, things didn't end great for these two!


Although they made it all the way to the final vows, they both chose to split during the ceremony, with Cam actually storming off following Lyndall's speech.

Bronte Schofield and Harrison Boon: SPLIT

32-year-old builder Harrison was paired with 28-year-old online beauty educator Bronte by the experts.


Despite Bronte's friend dropping the bombshell that Harrison had been dating a 20-year-old before the experiment, and him getting another girl's number during the show, these two somehow made it all the way to the final decision. However, after a turbulent time in the process, Bronte finally walked out of the experiment before the final vows.

Alyssa Barmonde and Duncan James: SPLIT

35-year-old Executive Assistant Alyssa was paired with 36-year-old Cybersecurity Sales Regional Director Duncan.


Despite getting off to a good start and becoming early viewer favourites, things took a sour turn for these two during the retreat, with arguments following until the final vow ceremony. Although Alyssa wanted to continue their relationship during the final decision, Duncan ended things, admitting he didn't want Alyssa to get hurt.

Sandy Jawanda and Dan Hunjas: SPLIT

36-year-old dental hygienist Sandy was paired with 42-year-old digital marketing business owner Dan by the experts.


Despite Sandy's parents not giving their approval and not attending the wedding, the pair seemed to get on immediately, with Dan's family and friends loving Sandy's vows.


HOWEVER, things quickly went south for the pair, with both deciding to leave the experiment half way through. Shockingly, Dan then revealed he was dating influencer Samantha Symes, who was a guest at his wedding to Sandy! That didn't last long either though!

Janelle Han and Adam Seed: SPLIT

The experts matched 28-year-old beauty influencer Janelle with 25-year-old business owner Adam.


When Adam was forced to own up about his kiss with Claire, Janelle unsurprisingly could no longer trust him, choosing to leave the experiment, which resulted in Adam storming out.

Melissa Sheppard and Josh White: SPLIT

41-year-old hairdresser Melissa was matched with 40-year-old advertising client director Josh by the experts, making them the oldest couple in the series.


It turned out that Melissa and Josh were just too different for each other, with Josh admitting he felt like Mel's 'sex object'. After breaking down in tears during the second commitment ceremony, the experts changed the rules to allow Josh to leave the experiment, despite Melissa wanting to stay.


It has since been revealed that Josh is now getting to know co-star Lyndall, following the break down in her marriage to Cam!

Caitlin McConville and Shannon Adams: SPLIT

The experts also matched together 27-year-old Makeup Artist Caitlin and 30-year-old Personal Trainer Shannon.


It didn't take long for Shannon to realise he wasn't over his ex, saying some harsh words to Caitlin in the process. Unsurprisingly, Caitlin chose to leave the experiment, telling the experts she deserved to be "treated like a human being."

Tayla Winter and Hugo Armstrong: SPLIT

27-year-old Tayla Winter and 32-year-old Hugo Armstrong were late arrivals into the experiment, joining in week three after being matched by the experts.


With problems in their marriage, it was revealed Tayla had left the experiment to return home, before a huge twist saw her return during a dinner party. However, by this stage, Hugo had made up his mind and chose to leave the experiment, wishing Tayla well.

Evelyn Ellis and Rupert Budgen: SPLIT

The final couple to enter the experiment was 26-year-old Model Evelyn Ellis and 27-year-old Electrician Rupert Budgen.


Despite Rupert's nerves getting in the way at first, the couple quickly ended up becoming intimate, making it all the way to the final vows. However, the pair both chose to end their relationship, with Rupert saying: "A platonic connection alone is not enough to sustainable a loving and healthy relationship."

Married At First Sight Australia will return in 2025.
