Which MAFS UK couples are still together after explosive vow renewal sees bride storm out
After nine long weeks, the 2024 series of Married Of First Sight UK is officially drawing to a close.
As such, many fans of the hit reality experiment have been wondering which of this year's couples have been able to make their marriages work, and which contestants threw in the towel once the show came to an end.
And let's just say, for a show supposedly aimed at setting lonely hearts up with their perfect match, there are a worryingly low amount of duos still going strong...
Eve and Charlie - NOT together
Eve and Charlie (Channel 4)
Within days of being paired up, it became clear that Eve Reid and Charlie Curtis were a match made in hell.
Less than two weeks into the series kicking off, Eve was branded a 'manipulator' for accusing her fan-favourite wife of 'bullying her', which resulted in the couple sensationally sacking off the show and going their separate ways.

And interestingly, just days later, Eve shocked fans by going Insta-official with a brand-new love interest, supposedly breaking the show's 'spoiler rule'.
Polly and Adam - NOT together
Among all of this year's couples, Polly Sellman and Adam Nightingale have arguably endured one of the most turbulent of relationships.
Adam initially found himself in hot water with viewers after making a series of comments about his bride's appearance, expressing disappointment and claiming he usually goes for 'unreal brunettes'.
And things continued to go from bad to worse for the pair, with Adam unable to get over his very apparent lack of attraction for his wife.
This all came to blows during last night's ultimate commitment ceremony, when a pretty heated spat ended in Polly screaming 'f**k you, you f*****g p***k' before throwing a glass of red wine in his face.
It's safe to say they've now called it quits, with Adam rumoured to be dating another former contestant...
Richelle and Orson - NOT together
Fans were initially filled with hope when uber-sensitive Orson Nurse was paired up with formidable businesswoman Richelle Cade, but the cracks began showing as early as the honeymoon period.
The bride soon became tired with her new husband's frequent expression of emotions - despite fans praising him for opening up about his past relationships.
And it all reached a boiling point when an 'affair' Orson had bean having with co-star Hannah Norburn came to light, after which he and Richelle quit the series.
It was originally thought that Orson had continued his romance with Hannah away from the cameras following a series of loved-up Instagram uploads, but it looks as though even they've now split.
Emma and Caspar - NOT together
Much like Polly and Adam, Emma Barnes and Caspar Todd hit a bump in the road early on in their romance, with the groom stating straight away that he didn't feel a physical attraction towards his new missus.
During their honeymoon, Caspar came under fire from viewers for admitting in a confessional: "She’s a very positive person, very confident in herself and her body but first time seeing Emma in a bikini?
"I’m not feeling the sexual sparks that I was hoping to feel. Liking a more petite woman is generally something that I’ve always fancied more than curves. That’s just my preference."
And after they failed to form a close bond - despite ceaseless attempts to strike up some chemistry - the pair split in Week Six.
Kristina and Kieran - NOT together
Of all of the MAFS UK couples of 2024, I'm sure readers will agree that we all held out the most hope for Kieran Chapman and Kristina Goodsell.
After a 'rotten teeth' prank pulled by Kieran had his new bride in stitches during their nuptials, it looked as though the show's resident relationship experts had made the right decision in pairing them up.
Sadly, however, after Kristina opened up about her battle with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), Kieran admitted he wasn't sure he could handle a bride with such a life-devastating health condition.
And last week, the pair shocked viewers by bowing out of the love experiment for good, vowing to remain friends forever.
Luke and Amy - NOT together
Despite joining the series as new additions, fans had hope that hunky Luke Debono and drop-dead gorgeous Amy Kenyon would be able to make their romance work.
Sadly, however, this hope quickly went up in flames when Amy got the 'ick' from Luke's loved-up behaviour.
And despite starting to improve - with Luke recently referring to Amy as his 'wife' on social media - the pair recently unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Amy also hit headlines today after donning a black dress and veil to their final meeting on the show, supposedly marking the 'death' of their marriage.
Savage...
Hannah and Stephen - NOT together
Also having joined the show as an 'intruder couple', sparks initially flew between Hannah Norburn and Stephen Nolson.
Unfortunately, however, after Stephen broke the news that he had four children living on the other side of the country, and used to be part of the Mormon community, Hannah was somewhat put off.
And as we say, in the weeks that followed, it emerged that Hannah had found a secret connection with co-star Orson - who she'd been smooching behind the scenes - after which she and Stephen called it quits.
Though she went on to post several pictures and videos online with Orson - claiming they were invited back to the show as a new couple - rumours have since been swirling that Hannah is actually dating another former groom...
Sionainn and Ryan - NOT together
The third of the newbie couples, Sionainn Carmichael and Ryan Livesey seemingly started off strong but just days later, they alleged that an off-camera row had led them to the decision to quit the show.
Interestingly, however, recent antics have suggested that he's actually romantically involved with Hannah Norburn - something she addressed on her Instagram stories yesterday.
Sacha and Ross - NOT together
Despite remaining strong throughout the duration of the series, the last few episodes have proven quite the test for Sacha Jones and Ross McCarthy, and by the sounds of things, it's now all over between them.
Fans initially praised Sacha for the way she handled confrontations with her husband, who is deaf, but recent disagreements about where they'd reside when the series ended has reportedly left the Midlands lass Sacha and Mancunian Ross going their separate ways.
Holly and Alex - STILL together
Weirdly, despite calling time on their romance on the show following a fiery, insult-hurling shouting match, it seems as though Alex Henry and Holly Ditchfield have rekindled their relationship.
In fact, they remain one of the only couple's whose romance has seemingly continued to blossom.
Just days after Holly branded her on-screen husband a 'bulls****ing b*****d', the pair were spotted enjoying some pretty heavy petting on the streets of Manchester.
Lacey and Nathan - STILL together?
This is the only couple we're still uncertain about.
Despite a rocky start - which saw groom Nathan Campbell mistake his partner Lacey Martin's sister for his bride-to-be - the pair went on to become one of the strongest couples of the series.
Sure, they endured a rough patch when Lacey's mum came under fire for coming onto her new son-in-law a little too strong, but viewers couldn't help but feel like the show's match-makers were onto something when they paired them up.
When it comes to where they stand now, however, we simply can't be sure.
While Heart reported today that - despite finishing the series as an official couple - Nathan Campbell and Lacey Martin's marriage had 'fizzled out' when the show came to an end, Capital say they've recently shared some gushy Instagram posts to another another, and still follow one another on social media.
We guess only time with tell...
