Tahnee and Ollie were a popular MAFS couple. One of them is getting married (for real, this time).

Ollie Skelton and Tahnee Cook met as strangers on Married at First Sight Australia in season 10.

At 26 and 27, they became the youngest couple in the show's history. Their instant connection, drama-free dynamic and playful personalities made them early fan favourites.

They made it through final vows and the reunion, with their relationship being celebrated as one of the strongest and most genuine in the show.

After filming wrapped in December 2022, Ollie moved from Perth to Sydney to live with Tahnee, and the couple signed a 12-month lease together.

But after 16 months together, they announced their breakup in December 2023, both posting statements on social media.

Tahnee wrote, "Our lives are taking us in different directions and we feel at this stage it's the best decision for us… heartbreak is worth it in the pursuit of love."

Ollie echoed his ex's sentiments, as he wrote "What a ride! A journey filled with love, laughter, challenges, and in the last month, reflection. I think we tried really hard to make it work."

Then things got… messy. Like, really messy.

Due to the Sydney rental crisis, they continued living together for about six weeks after splitting, leading to a lot of tension.

Tahnee claimed on the Back To Reality podcast that Ollie brought "multiple women" back to their shared home while she was still living there, describing the situation as "hell".

In one account she shared on her TikTok, she accused Ollie of bringing a girl to stay over while Tahnee was out of town. She suggested he might have been unfaithful during their relationship.

"You know when you have a feeling, but you don't have any proof, so that's all you can sit with. When we were [still] together, I came home from a holiday and found a cardigan in my bedroom that wasn't mine. To this day, I still don't know whose it is," she said.

Ollie has denied all cheating allegations. The pair have since unfollowed each other and seemingly cut off contact.

Then this week, Ollie made a huge announcement about himself and his current girlfriend, Nadia Marvin.

Ollie Skelton is officially engaged!

Ollie popped the question to his girlfriend Nadia Marvin just after they celebrated their one-year anniversary together, having started dating in March 2024.

The proposal took place at sunset on a pier, with Ollie sharing a heartfelt video on Instagram. In the footage, Nadia was visibly shocked — dropping to her knees twice before the couple hugged and shared kisses.

Ollie captioned the moment: "Yesterday afternoon I proposed to Nadia. If you squint your eyes a little bit you'll see that she said YES!"

The proposal was praised by MAFS expert, Alessandra Rampolla, who left a series of red heart emojis under Ollie's post. Duncan James showed his enthusiasm, writing, "Yessss my man. Stoked for you," and his partner Evelyn Ellis added "OMGOSHHHH congrats."

In the years since MAFS ended, Ollie launched a new podcast called Restless in late 2024, which is a re-branded version of his earlier podcast, Tosser.

Ollie announced the transition on Instagram, sharing his excitement about the new direction and his collaboration with co-host Rojan. The podcast features a mix of candid conversations and humour, along with video content.

Where is Tahnee Cook now?

Since her time on Married at First Sight Australia, Tahnee Cook has established herself as a booked and busy media personality in Australia.

Tahnee chose to return to her pre-show career in public relations. She has publicly defended her decision to maintain a "normal" nine-to-five job.

That said, she's had huge success in content creation as a side-hustle, working with a bunch of brands on social media.

Most recently, she's been in Palm Springs for Coachella with fashion brand Bydee.

Tahnee is also a regular columnist for Yahoo Lifestyle Australia, where she provides behind-the-scenes commentary and weekly recaps of the latest MAFS seasons.

Tahnee has two popular podcasts: her own show Chuffed, and Nova's reality TV podcast Back To Reality with fellow MAFS bride, Selina Chhaur.

As for her post-MAFS dating life, there was a rumour that she was romantically connected to Thomas Kriaras from Married at First Sight UK.

In May 2024, the pair sparked dating speculation after sharing playful videos together on social media while Tahnee was visiting the UK. However, neither Tahnee nor Thomas confirmed a romantic relationship.

Tahnee often references her dating adventures on social media, including TikTok videos that hilarously recap her experiences and poke fun at the ups and downs of modern dating.

But for the most part, Tahnee keeps her private life, well… private.
