Ridge entered the experiment to put his bachelor lifestyle behind him and find true love.
For the "right girl," he's ready to settle down and is looking for someone who knows how to laugh, doesn't take herself too seriously and values family.
Enter Jade. The 26-year-old EA is ready to be a wife and is looking for a tall, tanned man who has dark hair and tattoos.
On paper, the duo seem like the perfect pair, but Jade's 7-year-old daughter is also part of the equation, and she needs a man who will be a good fit for her family.
Jade and Ridge's wedding wasn't a trainwreck, but it sure wasn't smooth sailing.
Ridge's first impressions were questionable thanks to his jokes, reference to himself as "king of the jungle," cheesy winks and giggling friends.
Jade's friends quickly labelled him as "immature," telling the cameras he gave off "frat boy vibes," and Jade too shared concerns about his lack of maturity.
Whilst Jade was initially sceptical, Ridge's response to the news she had a daughter seriously impressed the single mum and their relationship quickly turned a new corner.
"Her having a daughter doesn't faze me one bit," he later told the cameras. "Jayde seems like an awesome girl and I've always seen myself as becoming a dad."
As the couple reach final vows, fans are curious if the couple are still together beyond the experiment - and we have some very good signs...
Are Jade and Ridge Still Together?
Thanks to a very telling interview with our sister site, New Idea, we know the couple are still going strong.
“I didn’t think an experiment like this could work, but I ended up falling in love. It was a happy accident,” Ridge told the publication.
“I never thought I’d be able to love someone’s child like my own. But meeting Vee, that’s changed. 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.”
The sweet comments meant the couple's final vows came as no surprise.
"Jade, in the time we spent together you managed to bring out an even better version of myself - one I wasn't even sure existed," Ridge shared Jade. "You've helped me mature from a boy's boy to the type of man I hope you would be proud to have, not just in your life, but Vee's too."
"Ridge...at the start of the experiment I really struggled to see your full potential," Jade began. "I questioned if we were suited as a couple."
"But when you met Vee it was smooth sailing...I firmly believe everything happens for a reason and I have no doubts in my mind that everything I have been through was worth it to have you standing here in front of me. You have shown me how to believe in a fairytale ending, I am all in on this."
