A very important guide to which MAFS 2024 couples are still together.

With MAFS 2025 just around the corner, it's the perfect time to revisit our favourite (and, let's be honest, the most cringe-worthy) couples from MAFS 2024.

If you cast your mind back to last season, the pairings were dramatic. Some couples rekindled our hope in love, leaving us rooting for their happily-ever-afters, while others were simply not meant to be.

So where are the MAFS 2024 couples now? Still lovers? Friends? Maybe even enemies?

With the pace of reality TV, it's hard to say what's gone down over the past year — but we're diving into the latest updates to find out what's really going on behind the scenes.

Are Lauren and Jonathan still together?

Well, by now we're all aware that Lauren and Jonathan did not end up living happily ever after.

Early on, Lauren accused Jono of being 'too nice' while the groom thought that his bride was hot and cold with him.

In one interview, she hinted that they weren't meant to be.

"He is a genuinely nice person and that's nothing like me. On paper, the experts got it right but there is something on paper you can't put into words," she told Kyle and Jackie O. "He is a gentleman but when we woke up the day after the wedding, the reality really hit. I just felt our personalities were different."

Of course, if you were watching the Final Dinner Party of the season, you would've seen Jono behaving... not particularly gentlemanly, as he sat beside his new girlfriend, former bride Ellie.

During the final week of the experiment, it was revealed Jonathan had been texting his co-star, and the pair entered a relationship as soon as filming wrapped up. In an interview with New Idea, the couple said they were both "so happy".

"We're so comfortable with one another and we haven't spent a night apart since we got together," Jonathan said, later explaining that they had met up outside of the experiment when Timothy decided to organise a MAFS reunion on the Gold Coast.

But when Timothy and Cassandra cancelled, Jonathan reached out to Ellie to see if she still wanted to catch up.

According to him, they hit it off.

"The next day, because I'd had such a tough three months in the experiment, I woke up with a smile on my face and felt so happy," he said.

"I went back to the Sunshine Coast, where I was living at the time, and messaged her. We met again in Brisbane and that's when we started becoming something."

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Are Ben and Ellie still together?

Um, no.

These two never found much of a spark and held differing views on what they wanted in life. Her biggest concern was that Ben was unsure whether he envisioned kids in his future.

They cut it off officially when they left the experiment for good.

But of course, none of these things matter, as Ellie is now dating Jonathan, which Ben seems to be supportive of.

In an interview with The Kyle and Jackie O Show, he said he believed the pair were a "fantastic" match and wished them all the best.

Are Andrea and Richard still together?

The oldest couple on Married At First Sight quickly became one of the most beloved. From the moment Richard roared into his wedding on a motorbike, this couple proved to be delightful viewing.

But their dream romance soon turned into a nightmare as the couple ended up constantly clashing.

The duo opted to leave the experiment at a Commitment Ceremony, both electing to leave after a week of feuding, and an insider told Yahoo Lifestyle that they definitely did not rekindle things after they departed.

"They're no longer a couple," they said, before twisting the knife by adding that pair haven't "really kept in touch" since filming the show. And apparently, Andrea is not following Richard's private account on Instagram.

Are Jack and Tori still together?

As the experiment's most controversial couple, Jack and Tori remained resilient against the criticism.

Other contestants casted doubt over Jack's interest in his TV wife (Jack notably admitted during their honeymoon that there was no sexual connection between them), and have called him out on several occasions for wildly inappropriate comments.

Despite all this, the couple are still going strong, even spending Christmas last year with Tori's family.

Tori's bridesmaid Lea, who was originally suspicious of Jack's character, has since said she loves them as a couple. On an episode of the So Dramatic! podcast, Lea told host Megan Pustetto that, "Jack and Tori are so compatible it's almost disgusting.

"He is a huge part of our family and they're absolutely end game."

Alrighty then!

Are Jayden and Eden still together?

Considering Jayden is the brother of 2022 commitment-phobic groom Mitch, we didn't have the highest expectations for his dedication to the experiment.

In the early episodes, however, Jayden and Eden appeared to be the experiment's strongest couple.

There was one bump in the road when Jayden shared he had gotten revenge on a previous girlfriend's infidelity by having sex with her friend (while the girlfriend watched??), but they recovered — and appeared to be still going strong for months after the experiment wrapped up.

In October 2023 and then January 2024, Mitch let the cat (or should we say dog?) out of the bag by posting a photo of Eden's pooch Cub on Instagram. And if there was any question over the dog's identity, he even captioned one post "good pal Cub", which he has since edited to read "What a guy!"

Considering how much Eden had spoken about her dog on the show, it was clear she was still with Jayden at the time, if his brother was hanging out with her cherished pooch so often.

However, things shifted drastically after that, which became clear when Eden was spotted catching up with Mitch's ex-MAFS bride, Ella Ding in March 2024. Considering that Mitch and Ella didn't end on the best of terms, her new choice in friends was a hint that something had gone awry with Jayden.

"They were speaking about Jayden. Eden didn't seem too thrilled about the situation they were talking about," a source told the So Dramatic! podcast. "Eden said she was stressed about this week's episodes because there's lots of drama with her and Jayden."

At the time, So Dramatic! reported that the pair were fighting after the reunion wrapped, with Jayden apparently dumping Eden over Christmas, which was just a few days after filming had finished.

"He would barely speak to her," they said on the So Dramatic! podcast.

"Jayden wanted followers to promote his boxing. He went in with a plan and fooled us. It was all an act, he would cry on the couch and everyone fell for it. The only person who didn't buy it was Timothy."

However, Yahoo Lifestyle reported that breaking up with Eden made Jayden worry he would "look bad" so he "came grovelling" back to his bride, who took him back.

Alas, despite reports at the time that they were still trying to make it work, it looks like the pair are definitely dunzo.

"He has been such a douche to her since filming ended, but she will not admit it publicly... She's so heartbroken," an insider told So Dramatic! in March 2024.

Later, an unnamed MAFS co-star said that Eden had "finally opened up" to her fellow brides about "what was really going on behind closed doors".

"Basically, he was gaslighting, manipulating, bread crumbing and love-bombing her after filming," the MAFS star said.

"Jayden sent Eden some really horrible messages over Christmas. It was textbook narcissism and gaslighting and just being an overall mean person. It was totally f**ked. We all told her that she could do much better than him and deserves better."

Speaking on the Sit With Us podcast in May 2024, Eden confirmed the breakup and claimed that the split came "out of the blue".

"I was bawling my eyes out," she said. "There were a couple of things about the relationship that were different to what I'm used to but it was something we wanted to work through. It was really shocking to come out of the blue."

In January 2025, Jayden was seen in Sydney's Darling Harbour with an unidentified woman. While the two have not publicly addressed their relationship, photos obtained by the Daily Mail show them sharing a meal at an outdoor restaurant, followed by hand-holding and strolling together through the city.

Are Timothy and Lucinda still together?

Lucinda and Timothy had a bumpy ride with the groom struggling to open up and match her emotional intelligence. The couple showed glimmers of potential early on, but every few episodes, Timothy would say something that undid all their good work.

In February 2024, Lucinda and Timothy were spotted together in Melbourne in photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia. That being said, Yahoo Lifestyle published photos of Timothy "enjoying a casual lunch with a mystery woman" that same month.

However, Lucinda gave away her ending with Timothy in a radio interview. When asked by New Zealand's The Edge breakfast show if she would ever consider relocating, she replied, "I love this country, it's God's country. If I met a really..." she stated then trailed off, perhaps realising what she had been about to say.

Presumably, the next words she was about to say were "... nice man", seemingly confirming they were over.

Later, she said in an Instagram post that she and Timothy were a "soul family".

"Love you Timbo. Soul family! What a farewell... cheeky little knobs, ripping our names off the door that was the portal into 'that version of us,'" she said. "Here's cheers to the future version of 'us' as dear friends. So glad I've got a Timbo in my stratosphere and sorry for any times on this experience I hurt you. I see you [and] you're awesome!"

But since then, things have certainly gone off the rails.

In June 2024, Lucinda and Timothy seemingly unfollowed each other on Instagram and blocked one another, signalling a rift in their relationship.

In response, Timothy shared a 9-minute long video to TikTok to address the rumours and, let's just say, it's pretty clear the two are no longer friends. But why? We may never know.

"So whatever has happened behind the scenes, I'm always going to keep that private. And in regards to the online articles about jealousy and about this and that they are all off the mark. But in saying that I will keep 'why' private," he said in the video.

"There are only three or four people that know. And that's where I'm going to leave it," he added, seemingly confirming that something did go down behind the scenes.

In July, Lucinda shared her side of the story, claiming she would have liked to discuss this with Tim personally, rather than have it play out this way.

"In regards to the comments and blocking Tim has done~Conscious, clear and kind communication would have been my preference. If I'd offended Tim, I would have loved a phone conversation toward resolve," she wrote in an Instagram caption.

But, she ended the post on a kind note, wishing Tim well.

"This is the last I'll say on this piece, I've said what I have to say. I want to get on with my life~ I've got lots of love to share and I believe Tim does too. Everyone's just trying their best in this one precious life and I for one don't want to spend my energy and time in war, with anyone."

So, while we won't be seeing these two hanging out anytime soon, it feels like they've left it on civil terms?

Are Sara and Tim still together?

What happens when a man who loves Columbia, and a Columbian collide? This was the equation this season of MAFS tried to solve, and apparently the answer is: they fight a whole bunch.

Tim and Sara had more ups than downs than many other couples in the experiment, and following the Final Dinner Party from last season, it looks like they are not only broken up, but on very bad terms.

Daily Mail has since shared photos of Tim hugging (and bum-grabbing) another woman. Not to mention, while appearing on an episode of the Sit With Us podcast, Tim shared that he, indeed, had a new girlfriend.

"I'm in another relationship now and I want to respect that so I'm not really doing the whole 'friends with my ex' thing," Tim said.

Sorry, Sara! They'll always have... Columbia?!

Are Cassandra and Tristan still together?

Cassandra and Tristan were one of the most likeable couples in this year's experiment. But that doesn't mean it was smooth sailing, as Cass struggled with Tristan not giving her enough (read: any) affection.

They both opted to leave the experiment part-way through, and are no longer together.

Are Madeleine and Ash still together?

This intruder couple might be one of the weirdest in MAFS history. Madeleine is an ex-Home and Away actor and psychic medium who acted in a... truly bizarre fashion during her short romance with salesperson Ash.

She burst into tears at the sight of a field of cows on their honeymoon (after eating steak the previous night), and she gave Ash an unrequested reading during dinner, during which she repeatedly said that she loved him (despite having met him mere days before).

The couple exited the experiment pretty quickly. And Ash has already given an interview, during which he didn't have the best things to say about his bride.

"She's really good at turning it on when the cameras are on," he said in a rogue interview with Daily Mail Australia. 

"I was like, 'Is she genuine? Like, why is she on here? Is she acting?' So it played into my doubts."

Ash also admitted that Madeleine wasn't the type he typically goes for in a woman. "In terms of what I asked for, in the looks department, it's not normally what I go for," he said. "She wasn't what I was expecting."

Are Michael and Stephen still together?

Michael has had a rough trot on MAFS after he was matched with groom Simon, who did a runner before the wedding.

But perhaps it was all meant to go down like that, because Stephen was subbed in — and in many ways, they seemed an ideal match, though they definitely had their share of bumps along the way... Including Stephen saying he's not physically attracted to Michael, and a flirting incident between Stephen and a hairdresser. Yikes. Okay, maybe not that compatible after all?

The couple opted to exit the experiment, sadly failing to break the gay marriage curse that has befallen this show.

While the two initially maintained a friendship after the show, it seems, it is no longer.

"It's really recent that we stopped talking," Stephen told The Daily Mail.

"I think that obviously reliving a lot of this. I thought we had a really good relationship where we would check on each other just as the months went but that's dissipated as the storyline has gone on, which is, yeah, really disappointing," he revealed.

Are Jade and Ridge still together?

This wildly attractive young couple injected a bit of decency into the show. As intruders, mum-of-one Jade and proud bachelor Ridge started their romance a little later than the other couples, but despite Ridge making too many jokes (a bit of an ick), these two went from strength to strength.

Yahoo Lifestyle reported that the couple celebrated New Year's Eve together, and Jade follows Ridge's dog on Instagram. Ridge even told New Idea that he loved Jade's daughter like his own.

"I never thought I'd be able to love someone's child like my own. But meeting Vee, that's changed," he said. "I love Vee. I see her as my own, even though I know she's not, which is a shock to me. I never thought I'd get to that stage."

However, it's since been revealed that Ridge allegedly got two women pregnant before he entered MAFS... and yeah, this allegation is even wilder than their relationship.

So Dramatic! claimed the groom was speaking to two girlfriends he had before MAFS during filming, and slept with both of them after the show whilst he was still with Jade.

One of the women who said he got her pregnant told the publication, "Ridge went to Germany after Greece, and I went to visit my dad. I got home a week earlier and picked Ridge up from the airport, not knowing I was pregnant."

The source added, "But little did I know that he'd taken a detour on his way home to the Gold Coast to see [another woman], who he also ended up getting pregnant while we were still together. So both of us were pregnant at the same time."

According to reports, neither woman went ahead with their pregnancies, to avoid being "tied" to Ridge for life.

But despite the rumours, the couple seems to be going strong.
