The dramatic tenth series of Married at First Sight UK has kept viewers hooked, but which couples from the 2025 cast have managed to make their relationships last beyond the experiment?
The MAFS UK Success Stories
According to relationship expert Paul C Brunson, the matchmaking process on the Channel 4 show is extremely thorough, designed to create lasting partnerships. However, only a select few couples have entered the MAFS UK hall of fame by maintaining their relationships after the cameras stop rolling.
This year, several couples emerged as strong contenders to join that exclusive group. Keye and Davide displayed immediate chemistry, declaring love for each other early in the experiment. Their social media activity suggests they might still be together, with Davide potentially hinting at their relationship in a recent TikTok video.
Another promising pair is Abi and John, whose journey has been smooth sailing compared to some of their counterparts. Not only do they follow each other on Instagram, but they actively interact, with John posting a romantic wedding day photo captioned: "Exactly one second before my dreams came true."
Couples Who Called It Quits
Unfortunately, not every match made by the experts proved successful. April and Leo started strong with an instant connection on their wedding day, but issues emerged during their honeymoon when April felt she was leading all conversations. Despite Leo's promises to improve, their relationship deteriorated during Homestay, leading to their departure at the final commitment ceremony.
Anita and Paul became the first couple to leave the experiment after failing to develop an emotional connection. Despite shared interests and an initial spark, Anita expressed frustration with Paul's uncertainty about what he wanted from the relationship.
One of the most dramatic splits involved Nelly and Steven, whose relationship ended abruptly when Nelly's flatmate exposed Steven's active Hinge profile during homestay. Nelly immediately removed her ring and declared their marriage over.
Uncertain Futures and Social Media Clues
With the series still airing, the status of several couples remains uncertain, though social media provides some intriguing clues.
Reiss and Leisha follow each other on Instagram despite their rocky journey, suggesting they might have reconciled after the show. Similarly, Leah and Leigh maintain their Instagram connection despite a difficult start to their relationship.
However, the outlook appears less positive for other couples. Rebecca and Bailey don't follow each other on Instagram, and cheating allegations during the series suggest their relationship may not have ended amicably.
Grace and Ashley managed to overcome their awkward wedding day and were still together during the couples retreat, but their lack of mutual Instagram follows hints that things might not have lasted beyond filming.
Two couples experienced particularly emotional endings. Julia-Ruth and Divarni concluded their turbulent relationship after an explosive dinner party where Divarni removed his ring and declared their marriage "finished." Meanwhile, Joe and Maeve split during the couples retreat after Joe left the experiment for over a week, leaving Maeve confused about their status.
Sarah and Dean became the second couple to leave the series, making their decision during the third commitment ceremony after Sarah acknowledged that physical attraction never developed between them.
As the series continues to unfold, viewers remain eager to discover which couples will ultimately join the MAFS UK success stories and which relationships will become memories of the experiment that brought them together.
