Fans are rooting for them!
Last updated 7th Oct 2024
Whilst it hasn't been the smoothest of journeys for couples like Eve and Charlie, and Caspar and Emma so far on Married At First Sight UK, it looks like the experts have struck gold with Kieran and Kristina, who so far seem perfect for each other.
The pair were the first couple from series nine to get married, and despite Geordie lad Kieran pranking his bride at the altar with some fake teeth, the pair had an amazing wedding day, with things continuing well into their honeymoon in Thailand.
Are Kieran and Kristina still together?
As fans will know, filming for series nine of MAFS UK actually took place earlier this year, despite the scenes only just starting to play out on TV now.
Although the contestants are usually asked to keep the results of the experiment under wraps until the series airs, it looks like Kieran and Kristina have dropped a few hints they are in fact still together.
Geordie lad Kieran took to his Instagram Story to share a photo of himself and his mum on FaceTime with Kristina and her mum, writing: 'Me and the wife FaceTiming with our mothers'. (sic)
Of course, the snap could be an old photo, but another telling sign is that the pair follow each other on Instagram, a clear indicator that things haven't gone sour between the two.
On Tuesday 24th September, Kieran shared a photo alongside his mum from his wedding day, wishing her a Happy Birthday. He wrote: '🥳 HAPPIEST of birthdays to my gorgeous little mam. @tracyjchapman you are loved by many… just a shame your car is slow. Lots of love you gorgeous woman ❤️ @mafsuk @e4mafsuk @e4grams'. (sic)
Kristina was quick to comment on the post, writing: 'Happy birthday Tracy! Hope you have the best day 🫶🏼🧡 xxxx'. (sic)
Kieran, who is a mechanic, has also been thanking fans for their well-wishes in videos from his work van, where he also spoke about Kristina, leaving fans thinking the pair are definitely still an item.
In another sign that the pair are still together, following the second commitment ceremony at the start of October, Kieran shared a 'piano/EDM tune' he'd written for her.
Alongside a video of the track, Kieran wrote on Instagram 'I know how much Kristina Goodsell is into her Rave music, and i love piano, so, here is a piano/EDM tune i made for her. #STINA
'This piece explains through the power of music, the ups and downs Kristina has had to face due to suffering from her PMDD throughout her life, which really no one can comprehend how difficult this illness, only those who suffer. Theirs ups, downs, and everything in between, representing the peaks and troughs of Kristina’s symptoms. The end section is an EDM track made by myself and my amazingly talented brother @ryanlambert17990 which represents Kristinas ability to now spread her wings infront of the world, and becoming a true (and the BEST) advocate for PMDD.
'For the best sound, and to be able to feel Kristinas soul, listen to this through headphones.
'A lot of folk could take a huge leaf out of Kristina’s book of positivity 🧡'. (sic)
Kristina was quick to show her love for the track, writing: 'I have no words other than you are the most incredible human I’ve ever met 😭🧡🫶🏼 you truly have a heart of pure gold! You deserve the universe 🫶🏼🧡thank you so much 🧡'. (sic)
Just days later, ahead of the fourth week of episodes starting, Kieran and Kristina uploaded a video together thanking fans for their support. The couple were walking down a street looking very happy.
What happened on their wedding day?
Joker Kieran took a risk on his wedding day, choosing to prank his bride at the altar by wearing a set of fake goofy teeth. Despite a number of his groomsman telling him not to go through with the prank, Kieran wanted to see if his bride had a personality, and it certainly worked out!
After Kristina looked terrified, Kieran pulled out the teeth, with the pair and their guests having a great laugh.
The couple enjoyed a high-energy wedding ceremony, and despite Kieran nervous to tell Kristina he lived in a caravan, she absolutely loved the idea.
What happened on their honeymoon?
Following a successful wedding day, Kieran and Kristina jetted off to Thailand for their honeymoon, where the pair got to know each other better.
On Wednesday (18th September) night's show, viewers witnessed 31-year-old Kristina open up to her husband about living with PMDD, a mood disorder that causes severe symptoms in the week or two before a menstrual period.
Admitting she was initially worried about mentioning it to Kieran in case he 'ran away', Kristina explained to her husband that some people don't know how to deal with it, which has affected her relationships in the past due to 'self sabotage'.
28-year-old Kieran dealt with the chat with care, telling his wife: "Well, just know if times get hard I will do my absolute best to make sure I'm there for you, because you deserve someone to do that for you."
He then jokingly added: "Like, I come with quirks. I've got a hairy butt crack."
After seeing the how comfortable the pair are with each other already, fans of the show were quick to express their love for Kieran and Kristina, with many calling them the perfect match.
Also in the episode, Kieran and Kristina reflected back on one week of marriage, with the pair calling their honeymoon 'perfect' and dubbing it the best week of their lives. Kieran promised Kristina he'd give everything he has into the experiment, with the pair looking forward to moving in together and meeting the rest of the couples.

Following another tough week between the pair, which saw them living apart and Eve refusing to take part in the expert's activities, Charlie and Eve left the experiment during the second commitment ceremony.
