Remember during lockdown 3.0 when Married At First Sight was basically the only thing keeping us all going during a dreary old time? The whole of the UK became OBSESSED with MAFS Australia's Jessika Power, Mike Gunner and countless other newlyweds.
Fast forward to 2024 and we may no longer be trapped in our houses with an hour of fresh air a day (what a time to be alive that was), but we're all still wonderfully captivated by MAFS - both the Australian version and its UK counterpart.
Although we don't have the drama of Cyrell Paule and Cameron Merchant, the following seasons did not disappoint when it comes to offering up equally as controversial contestants - Collins Christian and Harrison Boon spring to mind.
Speaking of, it will come as a surprise to absolutely NO ONE that Harrison and his now ex-wife Bronte Schofield didn't last once the show was over.
In fact, Bronte posted a TikTok alongside her fellow MAFS star Lyndall Grace and added, "Single...AGAIN, how sad🥲"
We know sarcasm when we see it.
So we thought we'd have a look at the MAFS Australia couples because what actually happens after we’ve seen the couples walk down the aisle, go on their honeymoons and meet their other halves’ families?
Well, we’ve done some digging and it turns out that not many have lasted outside the experiment.
Here are the MAFS Australia couples that are still together…. Spoiler alert, OBVS.

1 of 9Erin Bateman and Bryce Mohr, season two
The couple met way back in season two and are still going strong. The pair prefer to remain out of the spotlight and are happily living together in Melbourne.
2 of 9Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant, season six
Oh, Cameron and Jules. From the minute Jules and Cam had their first wedding dance without any music, we had an inkling they were in it for the long haul. And we were right. The pair now have two son together, and they tied the knot properly after the show. So, yes - sometimes this wild experiment does work.
3 of 9Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli, season six
Martha and Michael were an extremely drama free pair (in comparison to everyone else) so it's no shock that they have actually managed to stay together. They are now living together in Sydney whilst becoming full-time influencers. Oh, and they welcomed a baby boy and are engaged, so will soon tie the knot for real.
4 of 9Melissa Rawson and Bryce Ruthven, season eight
Despite Bryce repeatedly putting down Melissa's appearance during the show and more dramatic showdowns than we've had hot dinners - the on-off couple are surprisingly stronger then ever. In fact, they're living together, are officially married, have matching tattoos and welcomed twin boys.
