While UK viewers on E4 are just getting to know the couples, Australian fans are already five weeks ahead, having seen all the weddings, receptions, honeymoons, and those awkward first few weeks of cohabitation. The series started in the UK on Monday 3 March, but Aussie viewers have not only witnessed the early stages of marital bliss but also the infamous dinner parties and commitment ceremonies. Experts John Aiken, Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla are back to offer advice and prevent any major bust-ups. But which couples are still going strong and who’s already called it quits? If you’re not bothered about spoilers for the current season of MAFS Australia, keep reading.

Lauren and Eliot UK viewers have already seen how Eliot was incredibly choosy when it came to his potential bride, boasting about his extensive list of ‘non-negotiables.’ It’s not surprising that the couple didn’t last, with Eliot packing his bags during the honeymoon. However, what might surprise fans is that both Eliot and Lauren returned to the show with new partners. Eliot was matched with Veronica, while Lauren got a second shot at love with pro-golfer Clint.

Their wedding night was spent in separate rooms, leaving Katie in tears. Things took a turn for the worse at the first dinner party when Tim tried to pin everything on Katie. Unsurprisingly, they didn’t make it past the first commitment ceremony.

Awhina and Adrian The future is uncertain for this couple, as despite having a strong fan base, they’ve had their fair share of rocky moments throughout the season. This began when Awhina revealed she has a son at their wedding and Adrian’s reaction was less than ideal. According to Yahoo Lifestyle, Adrian was recently spotted on a date with a woman who wasn’t Awhina, but he insists it was his twin brother James who was seen with the mystery woman, not him. Quite a clever excuse, if you ask us.
