Married At First Sight has made for the most addictive and surprising viewing this year leaving viewers gobsmacked at some of the happenings between the E4 show’s couples.
While the newly married couples have faced their fair share of trials and tribulations, some have managed to make it work.
Episodes may have been filmed months ago, but that hasn’t stopped many of the cast taking to social media to share their takes on what really went down.
We take a look at this year’s couples and where they are now and more importantly, who stayed married…
Jess and Pjay
Jess Potter and Pjay Finch were the first couple to say they wanted to “leave” and exit the show after Jess said she struggled to form a physical attraction to Pjay, despite their friendship.
Since the show, Pjay has been posting photos and videos with his son, as well as some affiliate links with workout brands as he racked up the Instagram followers.
Jess has been enjoying her time away from the show with cocktails and dental hygienist has already returned to her day job, according to reports from the Sun.
Lara and Richie
Lara Eyre and Richie Dews were the season’s oldest couple, however they left a few weeks into the experiment due to a “lack of communication”.
Lara said she was unable to provide the “emotional need” that 51 year old Richie needed.
She has since gone back to Nottingham, where she has returned to pose for some photos at her former workplace – Five Guys and for now she appears single.
Elsewhere Richie has played on BBC Radio Sheffield since leaving the series and according to his social media account, he is single.
Thomas and Adrian
Thomas Hartley and Adrian Sanderson seemed to get off to a rocky start at the beginning of the series when Thomas admitted on the wedding day that Adrian’s blonde hair was “not [his] type”.
After an intense argument during their honeymoon, the couple persevered through the drama that followed them and grew stronger.
Thomas has gone on to gain over 100,0000 Instagram followers at the time of writing and Adrian has been posting videos of his singing online.
The pair have since split with Adrian telling fans on social media that his relationship status is "single".
April and George
April Banbury and George Roberts were paired up by the experts despite the fact that April lived a fast-paced life in London and George enjoyed an existence with his four children.
The pair were shadowed by trust issues in every episode of the series, as George struggled to have faith in April and she seemed unable to calm his nerves.
Since leaving the show, April has continued to pursue her pilot training and posted a female empowerment photo on Instagram urging followers that they are “stronger than [they] think”.
It is not known whether she is still with George, however she has not posted a photo with him in a while.
Kasia and Kwame
Kasia and Kwame had a rocky experience throughout the MAFS process which deepened when Kwame refused to allow the film crew and Kasia to visit his house during the homestay.
Kasia, who is a successful entrepreneur, has posted a series of photos showcasing her glamorous life on Instagram.
It doesn’t seem that the couple have remained close, as Kasia uploaded an image in which she labelled Kwame a “Pawn” and herself a “Queen”.
Whitney and Matt
Whitney Hughes and Matt Murray became a couple after both entering the experiment with different partners in a shock twist that left viewers gobsmacked.
The pair formed a connection and asked to re-enter the show as a dating couple and since leaving the show they seem to be going strong, posting images together and joining each other on Instagram live videos.
At the reunion dinner party the pair – who had insisted they were in love – revealed that they've gone their separate ways, leaving the experts stunned.
Citing their long distance relationship as the cause of their relationship break down, Whitney said: “After our vow renewals I went up to his and we were still super intense… but distance is a big thing."
“We’ve kind of remained friends. I still have feelings for him and I still care for him,” she added.
Since the show Whitney has got herself a new dog, meanwhile Matt has disclosed that he is handling the aftermath “well” but is finding the backlash from the show tough.
Duka
Duka Cav left the experiment after 19 episodes after his marriage to Whitney went nowhere.
From the first few episodes of the series, Whitney claimed that she could not get close to Duka because of his “fake” nature. But the pair didn’t break up until Matt entered the show and caught Whitney’s eye.
Duka, who works in recruitment, appears to remain single and positive following his appearance on the show, posting photos of himself and his friends from series 7 on Instagram - but none with Whitney.
Gemma
Gemma Rose entered the show as part of a new couple with Matt, before exiting swiftly following a fight caused by the affair between Whitney and Matt.
The hairdresser locked horns with her partner in multiple scenes throughout the show over her sexual sense of humour, but seems to have remained firm friends with many of the stars, posting a photo of former star Bob Voysey above the caption “Best friends”.
She has since gone on to speak about her appearance on the show on various podcasts and has linked a new OnlyFans account to her Instagram.
Chanita and Jordan
Jordan and Chanita started the series as one of the show’s strongest couples however things started to go pear shaped, when Jordan disclosed he was having doubts about moving in together.
However, it wasn't to be as the pair are no longer together after Jordan "stopped making an effort with Chanita" and her ultimate fears for their relationship came true.
During the show's dinner party, Chanita arrived alone and told her fellow contestants: "When we came out of the experiment, everything just changed. Basically, I kept saying ‘I feel like you’re not interested in me, you’re not making an effort, you’re not doing this’, and he’s all, ‘no, no, no, I can’t wait to see you’ - and then I was right!”.
“And then he was like, ‘oh, I don’t think we’re compatible, I don’t want to be with you’ - it was really weird,” she continued.
Following that Jordan had a a heart-to-heart with Zoe Clifton and explained his decision to end his relationship: “So I came out of the other side of the experiment, back into reality and I think for me, that was a time of massive reflection.
“I was questioning, can I really make this girl happy and do you really make me happy, or how we operate, our personalities and characteristics, are they just not exactly right for each other?”
Jordan said he found himself reflecting on his journey so far before concluding he didn’t think he and Chanita were compatible.
“I sat down and thought to myself, Jordan, realistically, can you see you and Chanita, forever? Can you see yourself falling in love? Can you see yourself having kids? And I thought, where do I go from this?” He continued.
“So I organised a FaceTime and on that call, Chanita was pressing me like, ‘Do you want to be with me or not?’ She asked me that question a few times bluntly and I was in a position where I was like, no, I don’t.”
Since leaving the show, Jordan has been photographed on a night out with a Geordie Shore star, whereas Chanita appears to be enjoying pampering sessions and going to Manchester Pride with fellow cast member Sophie.
Zoe and Jenna
Jenna Robinson and Zoe Clifton got together as the first lesbian couple the show has ever had, and it appears that they have remained close after the process.
Jenna’s sister Josie has posted a photo with Zoe on Instagram, meanwhile the couple have been sharing many images of themselves from throughout the process.
Jenna’s independent waste-free shop has continued running in her absence, although she has not confirmed her return to the shop floor yet.
Meanwhile, Zoe is still working as a quantity surveyor according to her LinkedIn profile.
Sophie and Jonathan
Sophie Brown and Jonathan Wileman joined the series halfway through the action as a late couple and seemed to hit it off.
The pair appeared to have come from very different backgrounds, with Sophie dedicated to her tech career in Manchester, and Jonathon committed to a more gentle pace of life in a rural town.
However, Jonathan refused to disclose whether he was still with Sophie in an Instagram live.
While the couple arrived separately during the reunion dinner party on Monday, revealing that their marriage hadn't lasted outside of the experiment.
