Which MAFS UK couples are still together?
The show is over for another year
It's fair to say the 2024 series of Married At First Sight UK was certainly a dramatic one! After bosses took inspiration from the Australian version a number of years ago, viewers are hooked year on year with the cast's relationships. But how successful is the experiment?
Now that the series nine experiment is over, find out which couples are still together from past series of the hit E4 reality show.
Which couples are still together from MAFS UK 2024?

Lacey and Nathan - SPLIT
Are Lacey and Nathan still together?
Lacey or Nathan split after things fizzled out when filming ended. Speaking about the split to Yahoo!, Nathan revealed it was Lacey who ended things. "Whilst I was hugely disappointed by the break up, and heartbroken, I respected her decision to part ways and I have nothing but love and good wishes for her.
Wedding and honeymoon:
Things didn't get off to the best of starts during the couple's wedding, when Nathan accidentally said "wow" when he saw Lacey's twin sister, not realising she wasn't the woman he was about to marry. Lacey wasn't then best pleased when Nathan described her as looking "nice" when he saw her for the first time at the altar.
Despite getting on well during their honeymoon, Lacey had a few reservations over Nathan's emotional intelligence, after she spoke to him about losing people close to her in a car crash. After having a chat about her feelings, Nathan opened up about having ADHD, and apologised for the way he reacted. Nathan later told her he does have emotional maturity and reassured her she can speak to him about anything.
On return to the UK, the pair moved in to their apartment together and attended the first dinner party hand-in-hand.
First commitment ceremony:
The pair were quick to tell the experts how much they are enjoying each other's company, admitting they are already the best of friends.

Despite missing the second dinner party due to being unwell, Lacey was well enough to attend the second commitment ceremony alongside Nathan. The pair expressed how well things are going for them, with both choosing to stay another week.
Third commitment ceremony:

Both Lacey and Nathan chose to stay in the experiment for the final week.
Final vows:
Although Lacey confessed she had a few worries over Nathan's ability to fully communicate his feelings, these two went into the vow renewal ceremony in a really good place.

The pair left the experiment looking totally loved-up.

However, after hearing Ross' words, Sacha chose to stay to try and save their relationship.
Final vows:
The pair went into the vow renewal with worries about where they'd live, with Sacha revealing if Ross wouldn't move to Walsall things wouldn't work out. After hearing the first part of Ross' vows, Sacha broke down in tears and was forced to walk off set, but she later returned to hear Ross reveal he would be willing to move for her.

Despite this, things took a positive turn when they headed off to Antigua on their honeymoon, with Erica and Jordan finding a deeper connection, and Jordan doing everything he could to make his wife feel special for her birthday. The pair also got intimate on the trip, before returning to the UK very happy.
As the pair attended their first commitment ceremony, they were quick to gush about each other, admitting they've been on an upward journey. Unsurprisingly they both chose to stay.
The following week, things still seemed to be going strong for the pair, with Jordan sticking by Erica and supporting her through a conflict with fellow bride Tasha. During the commitment ceremony, the pair confirmed things were going well, with Jordan admitting it felt like he's known Erica for years. Unsurprisingly, the pair both chose to stay in the experiment.
Despite the drama with Luke, which saw Luke and his wife Jay being removed from the show, Jordan's romance with Erica was still going strong going into the penultimate commitment ceremony. Jordan gushed about his feelings for his wife, before both chose to stay in the experiment for another week.
Things continued to be a bit on edge for Erica and Jordan, with the couple being stopped by the experts for 'point scoring' during the final commitment ceremony. Following a long chat, the pair admitted they really want things to work out, both choosing to stay in the experiment.

During the final vow ceremony, Erica addressed some of the low points the pair had endured during the experiment, admitting the time apart before the final vow allowed her to reflect on the pair's relationship. Despite this, she went on to admit she sees a future with Jordan on the outside, with the pair leaving the final vow ceremony as a couple!
However, the reunion show brought some major drama for the pair, after Jordan was accused of kissing another girl during a night out with the boys. Things got heated between Erica and Jordan in front of the group, with both left very angry at the situation.
Despite the drama, it appears the pair have remained together, with Erica posting a photo with Jordan on Instagram, alongside the telling caption: 'What an absolute rollercoaster ✨🤍 This has been one of the most challenging, incredible journeys of my entire life and I wouldn't change any of it for the world! I'm so proud of us 💍Let's see what chapter 2 has in store'. (sic)
At the end of February, just days after the second reunion show, Erica shared a statement on Instagram to confirm the pair had split, admitting there is no bad blood between the two.
Georges and Peggy - SPLIT
The experts matched together 32-year-old Peggy from Kent and 30-year-old Georges from Surrey. The pair got off to a good start at the alter, with Peggy admitting that Georges was 100% her type. However, things got a little tense during the reception, when Peggy's sister was less than impressed.
Following the wedding, the pair headed off to Thailand on their honeymoon, where Peggy was pushed to breaking point after disagreeing with Georges' opinions on posting adult content online. However, after thinking about his words, Georges later apologised and the pair made-up towards the end of the trip, with Peggy admitting she's keen to get to know him more.
During the first commitment ceremony, despite admitting things were 'going really well', Peggy brought up Georges' online gaming squats, which left her very uncomfortable and emotional. However, after Georges admitted he happy to leave that hobby in the past now he's married, the pair looked to move forward, both choosing to stay in the experiment, with Peggy saying she can now put it behind her.
Confessions week brought another curveball for Peggy and Georges due to their differences on wanting children, which was highlighted in the values task. Peggy later got emotional during the second commitment ceremony, admitting she was scared of falling in love, and questioned whether Georges was too good to be true. Georges also reassured Peggy he was happy to go at her pace for sex, with both making the decision to stay another week.
Following 'the toughest week' so far, following Georges' behaviour towards Porscha at the dinner party, Peggy admitted it had a negative impact on their relationship, revealing they'd grown apart. Despite getting emotional and admitting the process is the hardest thing she's ever had to do, both Peggy and Georges chose to remain in the experiment.
Georges' nerves were clear heading in to Friends and Family Week, with the 30-year-old nervous to face Peggy's sister once more. It's fair to say that he got a grilling from Peggy's sister and mum, with things taking an even more awkward turn when Peggy brought up a rather X-rated topic concerning Georges. Despite concerns whether Peggy finds him attractive, the pair chose to stay during the commitment ceremony.
Love/Hate week brought some major problems for Peggy and Georges, after Peggy couldn't see past the online requests Georges' gets during gaming. Peggy also had worries that Georges acts differently in front of other people to when he is with her, leading Peggy to defend her husband to other members of the cast who don't see the real him. During the penultimate commitment ceremony, Peggy chose to leave the experiment after revealing she couldn't take anymore, admitting she doesn't think Georges listens to her. However, after Georges chose to stay, Peggy agreed to stay for another week, giving Georges once last chance to save their relationship.
Despite Home Stays week not exactly going smooth, with Peggy's parents repeatedly saying they didn't think Georges was the one for her, the couple made up and looked happy at the final commitment ceremony. The pair chose to stay.

Despite Peggy's family seemingly trying to make her dump Georges, she chose to follow her heart during the final vow ceremony, with the pair staying together! After the ceremony, both Peggy and Georges hinted they were still together on social media, before confirming the good news during an appearance on Steph's Packed Lunch on Tuesday 15th November, where they confessed they do have plans to move in together in the future.

Luke and Jay - SPLIT
30-year-old Sales Executive Luke was matched with 31-year-old Sales Manager Jay during episode one of the 2023 series. Despite admitting she often feels rejected due to being born without part of her left arm, Luke quickly put Jay at ease during their wedding, with him even telling Jay's sister that he thought it was a great match.
The pair headed off to the Caribbean for their honeymoon, and they wasted no time in getting to know each other more! As well as getting intimate, Jay and Luke grew closer with honest chats about their childhood and past.
The couple were all smiles and relaxed together on the sofa during the first commitment ceremony, admitting their sex life is also going very well. Unsurprisingly, both Luke and Jay chose to stay another week.

Despite this, the pair still appeared as smitten as ever and chose to stay for another week during the commitment ceremony.
During the penultimate commitment ceremony, Luke and Jay were forced to leave by the experts after Luke was involved in a 'physical altercation' with fellow cast member Jordan. As Luke initiated the fight and took full responsibility, he was asked to leave by bosses, meaning Jay also had to leave.
Are Luke and Jay still together?
The pair left together as a couple and decided to go on holiday after being kicked off the show. However, Jay and Luke shocked fans during the reunion show when they arrived alone, with Jay going on to tell her fellow cast mates that Luke ended things, admitting he thought they were better off as friends. The pair both got emotional about the situation at the reunion dinner party, but it looks like they didn't rekindle their romance and have stayed as friends.
Arthur and Laura - SPLIT
The experts chose to match 34-year-old Tennis Coach Arthur with 34-year-old Finance Manager Laura during the opening episode. Things didn't get off to the best start at the altar, with Laura admitting Arthur wasn't her usual 'Chelsea boy' type, but that didn't stop him saying the 'L word' in his vows.
Things took a more positive turn when they headed off to Mexico on their honeymoon, getting to know each other more and spending some alone time. After Laura confronted Arthur about getting his vows off the Internet, he surprised her during dinner by writing new ones from the heart.
During the first commitment ceremony, Arthur opened up about his past and made himself vulnerable, leading to both of them choosing to stay in the experiment for another week.
Arthur didn't feature during confessions week due to illness, meaning Laura attended the second dinner party and second commitment ceremony alone.

Both chose to stay another week.
After Arthur returned, the pair confessed they were enjoying spending time together and have become more intimate. During the third commitment ceremony, they both chose to stay another week.
Friends and Family Week saw Laura's friends concerned about Arthur, with him revealing that re-writing his vows only took 10 minutes.

During the commitment ceremony, Laura confirmed things were going well, with the pair deciding to stay.
Although things between them were going well, the Laura and Arthur faced some issues during the couple's retreat, with many of the cast accusing Laura of treating Arthur like her child.

Despite the views of others, Arthur and Laura seemed stronger than ever, with the pair growing closer by the week. During the penultimate commitment ceremony, the couple chose to stay.
Home Stays week saw more tension rise for Arthur and Laura, with Laura's friends even getting into an argument with her husband. Although the drama wasn't what the pair needed, they did decide to both stay during the final commitment ceremony.
Are Arthur and Laura still together?
During the final vow ceremony, Arthur's vows certainly made up for his wedding day vows, with the tennis coach admitting he was ready to make things work with Laura outside of the experiment. HOWEVER, Laura delivered a huge blow during her vows, when she ended the relationship, telling Arthur he's made her realise what she didn't want in a marriage. Admitting he was 'gutted', Arthur left the experiment a single man.
Despite the awkward dumping, the pair seemed civil during the reunion show.
Adrienne and Matt - SPLIT
Despite arriving half-way into the experiment, 29-year-old Matt and 26-year-old Adrienne got off to a great start, immediately having a connection on their wedding day. The pair, who are both into fitness and going to the gym, seemed very happy with their match!
Things seemed to be going well for the couple as they jetted to Tenerife on their honeymoon - until Matt branded Adrienne a 'show off'. Upset by her husband's remarks, the pair's holiday went through a rocky patch. As the dinner party came around, however, the pair seemed to have patched things up. They then couldn't have looked happier during their first commitment ceremony, which saw them both choosing to stay in the experiment.
During the pair's second commitment ceremony, Adrienne expressed doubt that the pair have different personalities, admitting she'd like Matt to be more out of his shell. Despite this, the pair revealed they are getting on great, both deciding to stay in the experiment.

After moving in together and attending the first dinner party, things seemed to take a positive turn for the pair when they consummated their marriage. However, whilst sitting on the sofa with the experts, Thomas revealed he felt like Rozz ignored him in the day that followed, leaving him confused. Despite admitting she thought she'd feel something in her heart after being intimate, Rozz admitted she didn't currently have any feelings. However, after a chat with the experts, both chose to stay to work on their relationship.
During Confessions Week, things were still awkward between Thomas and Rozz, with Rozz admitting to the experts she didn't know if she needed more time, or if she just wasn't feeling things with Thomas.

Both very spiritual, these two hit it off from the moment they locked eyes on each other, with Brad openly telling Shona he is a dad to a young boy. After a successful wedding and reception, where their families also approved, fans have high hopes!
Things continued to go very well as the pair jetted off to the Maldives on their honeymoon. After spending a week together and being very intimate with each other, Brad confessed he was 'falling in love' with Shona. Then, as they attended the first dinner party, the pair couldn't keep their hands off each other, admitting to the cast that they are 'in love'.
During the first commitment ceremony, the pair confessed to the experts that they do both fall in love fast, but confirmed they definitely do love each other, both choosing to stay.
Cracks started to appear in Brad and Shona's relationship during confessions week, when Brad called his wife immature, childish and naive, leading viewers to accuse him of 'love bombing' her.

Despite this, the pair both chose to stay for another week in the experiment.

Terence and Porscha - SPLIT
The experts chose to match 36-year-old Porscha with 40-year-old Terence, with their wedding airing on Monday 25th September. Despite an initial physical attraction, it was quick to come to light that the pair had different lifestyles, with Terence working in the clubs as a DJ, and Porscha being more of a home bird. However, the pair did have the same views on a number of things, and they both have children, so let's see how their honeymoon plays out.
When they headed off to a luxury villa in Morocco for their honeymoon, things took another bad turn, with the pair getting into a big argumenta over dinner after Terence admitted he'd cheated on previous partners.
During the first dinner party, Terence and Porscha showed up separately, with another huge argument in front of the group after Terence refused to greet his bride. The couple then looked distanced on the sofa during the first commitment ceremony, with both Terrence and Porscha venting their frustrations to the experts. After taking advice from the experts, the pair apologised to each other, but Terence chose to leave. However, after Porscha chose to stay, the pair will have to try and fix their relationship.
In a huge turnaround, after Terence and Porscha moved in together and took part in confessions week, the pair grew closer and were like a different couple during the second commitment ceremony, with both choosing to stay for another week.

Although Porscha chose to stay another week, Terence left everybody in shock by choosing to leave, admitting he could no longer handle the drama.

Although she said she wasn't going to change her decision, Terence was adamant he was leaving the show, meaning the couple's journey came to an abrupt end.

Nathanial and Ella - SPLIT
Pansexual contestant Nathanial was paired with the show's first ever transgender bride Ella during the second episode of the new series. Despite 29-year-old Ella being worried Nathanial might reject her, the pair had an instant connection, and looked like they'd been together years on their wedding day!
However, as the pair jetted off to Mexico on their honeymoon, things quickly took a bad turn, with the two embroiled in a number of arguments. Nathanial called Ella a "liar" and accused her of showing off around other people. Ella tried to work things out, inviting him to dinner, but the events planner chose to stay in his room and eat a pizza alone.
After Ella apologised as they moved in together, the pair attended the first dinner party hand-in-hand, with Nathanial being supportive of Ella as she told the group she was transgender. Despite a rocky start to their first commitment ceremony, where they discussed the drama on the honeymoon and aired out their true feelings with each other, the couple both chose to stay, admitting they were keen to get to know each other more.
Nathanial and Ella had more issues during confessions week, when Nathanial admitted he thought Ella was immature. Despite Ella emotionally walking out of the second commitment ceremony, Nathanial went after his wife and reassured her they were in it together, with both deciding to stay in the experiment for another week.
The pair enjoyed another week after 'letting go', but Ella continued to express her worries at being 'friend zoned' by Nathanial during the third commitment ceremony. Despite this, Ella did confess she can see herself growing, leading both Ella and Nathanial to stay another week.
It's fair to say Friends and Family Week was nothing short of dramatic for the pair. Following the revelation that Ella and cast mate JJ would like to 'kiss' each other, Nathanial wasn't happy with this news, and was further enraged when he found out Ella had been texting JJ - with them even meeting up. After an explosive dinner party, Nathanial branded Ella a "liar", and feeling "fed up", he stormed out and left the experiment.
Following Nathanial's exit, Ella attended the commitment ceremony alone, where things kicked off again when Bianca wasn't happy with her level of apology. Ella later confirmed to the experts that she did want to get to know JJ further.
Are Ella and Nathanial still together?
Nope! Ella actually re-entered the experiment with fellow groom JJ. Nathanial decided not to attend the reunion.
Bianca and JJ - SPLIT
29-year-old Bianca and 30-year-old JJ were the first of the late arrivals to be matched by the experts! After JJ admitted he was ready to settle down, it wasn't quite love at first sight for the Essex boy, with him even admitting to his new wife on the wedding day that he'd previously dated a Victoria Secret Model.
The pair headed off to Mauritius on their honeymoon, and despite Bianca wanting more from her husband, JJ had his reservations, leaving his wife incredibly frustrated. Following an argument, Bianca and JJ spent their final day apart, before meeting up later in the evening for dinner, where Bianca asked her husband if he fancied her. JJ was honest in his answer, admitting Bianca isn't the type he usually goes for, and revealed again that he wants to take things at a slow pace.
During the couple's first meeting with the experts at the commitment ceremony, JJ once again brought up the fact Bianca isn't the usual type of girl he goes for, with Bianca admitting to the experts that she thinks JJ is moving too slow, worrying she is going to 'check out' and 'shut it down' as a friendship. Despite this, the pair both chose to stay and take on the feedback.
Things took a sour turn the next week, following the revelation that JJ had a 'connection' with bride Ella. After exchanging text messages, he and Ella enjoyed a flirty meet up - with JJ and Bianca staying in separate apartments at the time. After arriving to the dinner party separately, the news of his flirting was outed, and it's fair to say a distraught Bianca was rather angry with her husband, who was forced to admit his feelings to the group.
Despite the drama at the dinner party, Bianca and JJ showed up to the commitment ceremony together. Whilst speaking to the experts, Bianca expressed how she felt JJ never gave their relationship a chance, before saying she was "done". To the shock of nobody, both JJ and Bianca left the experiment.
Are Bianca and JJ still together?
They aren't. After their abrupt departure from the show, JJ re-entered the experiment with fellow bride Ella. During the reunion show, JJ chose to apologise to Bianca for his actions, but she didn't really accept it!

Jenna and Zoe
32-year-old Jenna from Blackpool and 30-year-old Zoe from West Midlands made history when they became the first lesbian couple to feature on MAFS UK.

Jenna was back alongside Zoe for the first commitment ceremony, where the couple admitted they are having zero issues in the intimacy department. After revealing they worked out their differences in a good way, the pair both chose to stay in the experiment.
Although 'yes week' didn't exactly go to plan for Jenna and Zoe, with more arguments over Jenna being a vegan, the pair both chose to stay, admitting they believe they can get over the arguments.
Zoe and Jenna confessed they'd had a better week during the third commitment ceremony, but Zoe aired concerns that the pair never have a good laugh when alone. This didn't sit well with Jenna, who later called Zoe out for dropping issues onto her in public. The pair both chose to stay.

Fans were buzzing to see both Jenna and Zoe rock up to the reunion dinner together, declaring their love for each other.

It was all change for Chanita and Jordan during the third commitment ceremony, with the pair both looking visibly happy whilst admitting their relationship is currently a 9/10.
The couple enjoyed another drama free week during the retreat, making it an easy decision to stay during the fourth commitment ceremony.

During the final vow ceremony, Chanita admitted she can't wait to start life as a couple outside the experiment, whilst Jordan promised Chanita he is willing to open his heart and life to her.

Whitney and Matt
Following their 'affair', Whitney and Matt asked the experts if they could re-join the experiment as a new couple. Despite viewers of the show urging the experts to send the pair home, Whitney and Matt were put back into the experiment as a dating couple.
After meeting each other's friends, Whitney and Matt shocked their fellow contestants by confessing their love for each other, and later revealed how happy they were together during the final commitment ceremony to the experts.
Unsurprisingly, Matt and Whitney chose to stay together during their final vows, pouring their hearts and feelings out to each other.

April and George
32-year-old April, who has appeared on a number of reality TV shows in the past, was paired with 40-year-old Financial Advisor George.
Despite George dropping the bombshell he's a dad-of-four just moments after the wedding, the pair seemingly got along very well.
However, things took a turn on the honeymoon when April kissed a female hotel guest during a game of dares in the hot tub, with George going on to say he was devastated he'd been 'cheated' on. Despite this, the pair seemed to make up, but April wasn't best pleased when George told their co-stars about the kiss during the first dinner party.
Despite this, the couple expressed their affection for each other at the first commitment ceremony and admitted they'd like to stay to see where the experiment takes them.
'Yes week' was very successful for April and George, and despite April missing the second dinner party due to an illness, George defended his girl over drama surrounding Thomas and Chanita. The couple then chose to stay during the second commitment ceremony.
Despite a good week, April broke down on the sofa during the third commitment ceremony, with George admitting he's not sure if their relationship would work outside of the experiment. Despite this, the pair both agreed they think they could overcome their issues, and therefore decided to stay for another week.
Despite being told they are in a 'fake' relationship by Thomas and being involved in a number of tense arguments, George and April both decided to stay ahead of the home stays week.
After successful home stays, April and George revealed they were in a great place, with April praising George for being there for her. The pair both agreed they definitely have love for each other, with both choosing to stay in the experiment.
The couple then declared their affection for each other during the final vow ceremony, with April admitting she was falling in love with George.

Although George has remained silent on the matter, April has now confirmed the pair have split. Announcing the news on Unveiled, she said she was: "Ready to kiss a few more frogs before I find my prince."
Sophie and Jonathan
26-year-old Sophie and 32-year-old Jonathan were the other late arrivals to the experiment, getting married in front of their closest friends and family.
Although the pair seemed to be from totally different background and have totally different tastes on first look, the pair hit it off immediately, enjoying their honeymoon together in Portugal.
Sophie and Jonathan looked very happy together during their first dinner party, where they met their fellow cast mates for the first time, before both choosing to stay during their first commitment ceremony.
The pair endured their first problems during the retreat, when Jonathan made comments about Sophie going to the gym, as well as him admitting he wasn't yet feeling a sexual connection. Despite this, the couple both chose to stay.
Sophie and Jonathan met each other's friends and family during the home stays, where Jonathan was grilled on his future by Sophie's dad. But after admitting they'd taken the pressure off and were a lot happier, the pair chose to stay during the final commitment ceremony.
Despite Jonathan's words sounding like he was ready to walk away from Sophie during the final vow ceremony, both chose to carry on their relationship on the outside.
Are Sophie and Jonathan still together?
Despite revealing they tried following the experiment, Sophie and Jonathan turned up separately to the reunion dinner, with Sophie later posting on social media that she is now single.
Adrian and Thomas
37-year-old Digital Designer Adrian was matched with 31-year-old Mental Health Care Assistant Thomas, with both boys from Liverpool.
Despite the pair being happy with each other at the alter, things took a turn during the wedding reception when Adrian's best friend gave Thomas a grilling.
The pair jetted off to Mexico on their honeymoon where they endured a massive falling out, after Thomas accused Adrian of 'holding back'. The pair fell out again when Adrian dubbed Thomas 'manipulative', but after talking out their issues, they return back to the UK on good terms.
The couple both chose to stay during the first commitment ceremony, but later that night they fell out and endured an explosive argument over their fellow co-star's drama.
After making up following the first ceremony, Adrian and Thomas enjoyed a successful 'yes week', but things kicked off again during the second commitment ceremony. After Thomas broke down in tears about the abuse he's suffered in the past, Adrian supported his man and chose to stay, with Thomas ripping up his initial decision to leave to stay in the experiment.
Intimacy week worked wonders for Adrian and Thomas, with Thomas even dubbing it the 'best week ever'. The pair both chose to stay during the third commitment ceremony and looked happy than ever.
Despite Thomas getting involved in more drama during the retreat, the pair confessed at the fourth commitment ceremony that they were very happy together, with Thomas admitting he's more than happy to wait for a sexual romance until Adrian is 100% ready.
However, after meeting each other's family and friends during the home stays, Thomas was advised by his mum to end things with Adrian, due to the lack of intimacy in their relationship. When the final commitment ceremony arrived, despite admitting he always wants to be friends and stay in touch with Adrian, Thomas chose to leave. There was yet another twist for the couple when Adrian revealed his true feelings, choosing to stay, which in turn changed Thomas' mind.
Despite this, the pair didn't make it to the final vows, making the decision to split and end their journey during the final dinner party, in very emotional scenes.

Although the pair aren't together romantically, Adrian and Thomas were friends for a little while after the show, but now it looks like they don't speak at all. Despite this, Thomas did share photos from the wedding to mark the one-year anniversary in April 2023.
Kasia and Kwame
42-year-old Kwame was matched with 36-year-old businesswoman Kasia.
The pair both had a doubt with their match and Kwame didn't exactly make the best impression with his in-laws. Kasia was later left shocked by Kwame's 'sex ban' on the night of their wedding.
Despite this, the couple jetted off to the Maldives on their honeymoon and later attended the first dinner party together.
Despite revealing some of their differences during the first commitment ceremony, Kasia and Kwame both decided to stay, admitting they hope they can turn their friendship into something more.
Following an argument over their intimacy during the second dinner party, which led them to staying in different apartments, things were a little awkward for Kasia and Kwame during the second commitment ceremony. However, the pair admitted they were both willing to work on their romance for another week.
Intimacy week worked wonders for Kasia and Kwame, who enjoyed their best week yet thanks to sex expert Charlene. The pair, who were beaming with smiles during the third commitment ceremony, both chose to stay.
Despite Kwame thinking the pair's relationship would work better outside of the experiment, he agreed to stay for another week at the request of Kasia.

After Kwame refused to let Kasia into his home during the home stays, he was grilled by her sisters, which resulted in them advising Kasia to end things. During the final commitment ceremony, Kasia made the decision to leave, and despite Kwame initially saying he'd like to stay, after hearing Kasia's reasons, he also agreed to leave the experiment.
Jess and Pjay
The experts chose to pair 31-year-old Dental Hygienist Jess with 31-year-old dancer/performer Pjay, and it looked like it was love at first sight thanks to their joint love for Harry Potter.
Although Pjay was nervous to tell Jess he had a young son, it was the bombshell that he's a stripper which really caused issues. After discovering the news, Jess stormed out of the wedding ceremony and confessed she didn't want to go on honeymoon with Pjay.
However, after speaking things out with Pjay, the pair jetted off on their honeymoon where Jess broke down at dinner whilst opening up about her ex who cheated on her with a close family member.
The couple both decided to stay during the first commitment ceremony, despite Pjay admitting he's been holding back out of fear.
Are Jess and Pjay still together?
Despite enjoying each other's company during 'yes week', Jess admitted she saw the relationship more as a friendship, before going on to reveal she wanted to leave. After Pjay asked if there was anything worth fighting for, and Jess responded by saying "no", Pjay also chose to leave the experiment.
Despite this, the pair rocked up to the reunion dinner together revealing they are great friends. However, fast-forward a few months and things took a sour turn, after Pjay began liking comments online about how Jess came across on the show. After calling him 'fake', Jess went on to block Pjay.
Lara and Richie
The experts made the decision to pair 49-year-old waitress Lara with 51-year-old former rock band star Richie.
Despite Lara being married and divorced twice, this will be Richie's first taste of a long-term relationship, which alarmed Lara. Despite this, the pair seemed to get on during the wedding ceremony, with Richie also getting the seal of approval by one of Lara's sons.
The pair later travelled to Bavaria for their honeymoon, where Lara was left scared by the pace Richie wanted to take their relationship.
Richie got emotional during the first commitment ceremony, admitting he's prepared to change his ways for his wife. After seeing his commitment to the relationship, Lara also chose to stay.

Although 'yes week' started well for Lara and Richie, things took a turn when the pair showed up at the dinner party separate. During the second commitment ceremony, the pair both revealed it would be 'cruel' for both to carry on with the experiment, resulting in the pair leaving as friends. At the reunion dinner, the pair revealed they'd had zero contact since the show, but Lara did share throwback photos from their wedding day to mark one year since the wedding.
Whitney and Duka
The experts matched 31-year-old Whitney from St Albans and 31-year-old Duka from Birmingham.
It was immediately clear to see Whitney wasn't happy, with viewers dubbing her attitude 'rude' towards Duka. The pair headed off to South Africa where they bickered throughout the holiday, with Whitney even losing her wedding ring and calling Duka 'fake'.
Things then got heated during the first commitment ceremony, which led to Whitney storming off set in tears. After returning to the sofa, Whitney chose to leave the show, but as Duka made the decision to stay to fight for their relationship, the pair will remain for now.
In a total turnaround, Whitney and Duka were like a different couple during the second commitment ceremony, admitting they've enjoyed each other's company. The pair both chose to stay another week to try and seek an emotional connection together.
However, this didn't last too long, with Whitney looking very glum during the third commitment ceremony. Despite Duka being more optimistic about their relationship, Whitney expressed she would like him to show more actions rather than just words, with the experts telling Duka he needs to show more emotion towards Whitney. Although Whitney chose to leave, Duka's decision to stay means the pair will have another week to work on their romance.

After having a secret meet up with Matt, Whitney went on to enjoy a kiss with her cast mate, before going on to spend the night with him. After the affair was exposed, both Whitney and Duka chose to leave the process as a couple. Duka has now revealed his dating again.
Gemma and Matt
30-year-old Gemma and 32-year-old Matt were late additions to the experiment, joining the series just before the half-way stage.
With both having passions for tattoos and hairdressing, it had looked like a match made in heaven on their wedding day, with sparks seriously flying! However, as the pair went to Portugal on their honeymoon, Matt started to get annoyed at Gemma's constant sexual comments, which led to a huge argument.
As the pair met the rest of the cast for the first time during a dinner party, Gemma and Matt endured another argument, which led to Matt storming out of the party.
Although it had looked like things may be over, following their first commitment ceremony with the experts, Gemma and Matt both chose to stay to work on their commutation.
Are Gemma and Matt still together?
After realising he had something with cast mate Whitney, Matt made it clear he'd like to explore his feelings, resulting in the pair spending the night together at the retreat. After Gemma found out about the 'affair', both decided to leave the process as a couple.
Of course, we can't forget about the 2021 series of Married At First Sight UK, which featured couples such as Adam and Tayah, Luke and Morag, and Matt and Daniel.
After Adam proposed to Tayah on the show, it's no shock to learn they are still loved-up and now parents, but what about the rest of the cast like Luke and Morag, and Dan and Matt?
Check out which MAFS UK 2021 couples are still together:
Adam and Tayah - MARRIED
Adam and Tayah proved love at first sight most definitely IS a thing! These two immediately hit it off on their wedding day, with the pair even saying the L word on their honeymoon.
After zero issues throughout the process, viewers were over the moon when Adam proposed to Tayah for real during their final vow renewal.
Since the final episode, Adam and Tayah have been very loved-up on socials, and the couple welcomed their first child together in October 2022, a baby girl called Beau Emily Aveling. The pair got married for real during a festive ceremony in December 2023, and one year later they announced they are expecting their second baby!
Daniel and Matt - SPLIT
Despite seemingly falling for each other very quickly, Daniel and Matt had their struggles due to Matt living in Leeds and Daniel being from Northern Ireland. The pair remained together during the final vow renewal, and appeared seriously loved-up on social media, even looking to move in together in 2022.
Sadly, Matt and Dan took to their socials in December 2022 to reveal that they had split, admitting that they were better as friends, and that the split was amicable. In November 2024, the pair reunited at an official MAFS party, showing they are still good friends!
Luke and Morag - SPLIT
It's safe to say Luke and Morag didn't get off to the best start during the MAFS process. After Morag confessed she didn't find her husband attractive, the couple struggled with intimacy.
However, by the end of the process, Luke and Morag had seemingly found a spark, with the pair choosing to stay together during the final vow renewal.
Despite this, the pair confirmed during the reunion show they'd split up, with Morag admitting Luke hadn't phoned her since the process ended. However, Luke later said it was because Morag still didn't care for him.
Marilyse and Franky - SPLIT
These two shocked viewers during the final vow renewal when they revealed their true feelings for each other, with Franky even admitting he was ready to move back to the UK from Dubai.
Franky later gushed about his girl on social media, admitting he'd moved to the same town as Marilyse and met her children.
However, on Friday 8th October, the pair both released statements confirmed they'd split. They remain good friends.
Josh and Amy - SPLIT
There's no denying the fact that Josh and Amy had a whirlwind experience during the MAFS experiment. After the pair had initial doubts over their age-gap, the couple experienced a number of fiery arguments and disagreements.
However, by the end of the process the pair seemed closer than ever, with Josh opening up about his feelings towards Amy during the final vow renewal.
The pair have been pretty quiet on social media since the final and during the reunion show they confirmed they are no longer together.
