Over but not forgotten: Which couples have left MAFS?

We bet you won't be too surprised. - by Alex Lilly
  • 06 Apr 2021

Whilst a Married At First Sight success story is a rare reality TV gem, the reality is that most couples don't make it to the end of the experiment together.

Season eight has been no different and with the highs of the weddings over, the couples are starting to drift apart.

Keep scrolling to see which husbands and wives have called it quits and left the experiment.

For an easier road to love, sign up for eharmony.

"I want you to find your steak-loving, motor-cross loving, camping loving wife. She's out there."

Nine

Beth and Russell

We weren't surprised when these two called it quits at their second Commitment Ceremony.

Their wedding, which had no guests due to COVID travel restrictions, was awkward to say the least and Beth and Russell soon learned they had little in common.

There may have been no spark but Beth and Russell ended their TV marriage on good terms.

"I want you to find your steak-loving, motor-cross loving, camping loving wife. She's out there," Beth told Russell on the couch before sharing a friendly fist bump.

coco

Will Coco pursue something with Cam now she's officially single?

Nine

Coco and Sam

From the moment they met at their wedding, we knew these two wouldn't last long. 

When Sam stated that he needs a girl with "big boobs" and then *that* attractiveness ranking challenge went down things went from bad to worse and both Coco and Sam mentally checked out of the marriage.

But after Coco's feelings for Cam were made clear (and the two shared a secret kiss unbeknown to the group), the two made the mutual decision to leave the experiment.

"It's been a fun ride buddy," the bubbly bride told Sam.

c

"I've really given it my all, I've given this everything."

Nine

Samantha and Cameron

What started with a spark ended with a heartbreaking confession from Samantha, who the week before had opted to stay but felt betrayed when she learnt that of her husband and Coco's connection.

"I came here for somebody real, I came here for a man," she said.

"I didn't come into this with a lot of hope. I've really given it my all, I've given this everything." 

j

It was for the best that these two left.

Nine

Joanne and James

We all cringed when the week before James jokingly professed his love to expert Alessandra Rampolla but things went from bad to worse for this couple.

The prestige car salesman ditched his wife without telling her and was called out by the experts for his gaslighting behaviour before both decided it was ultimately time to get out.

"I don’t think he likes to be told by a woman. It wasn’t worth leaving my boys to be with someone like him," barber and mum-of-three Jo told WHO.

j

Short but definitely not sweet.

Nine

Jaimie and Chris

Well that was quick!

Intruder couple Jaimie and Chris started having problems on their wedding day when the "self-confessed princess" wondered if she'd be long-term compatible with a guy who has a nose ring and a "Queensland haircut."

But despite writing stay at their first Commitment Ceremony, it was revealed that Jaimie suggested doing so to save face for the cameras for one more week - something that Jaimie strongly denied doing. From there, an explosion erupted that resulted in Chris walking.

"I came in here to give my heart and to put everything in and I did. I hope that I will actually find the one that I'm supposed to be with and they just want to be with me too."

b

Breeeeeeett.

Nine

Booka and Brett

Now that's what we call an amicable break up!

Ever since *that* letter of Patrick's the couple have been on shaky ground, but at the last Commitment Ceremony both Booka and Brett decided to call it quits.

"I've written leave but it's a smiley face and a love heart because Brett's a legend," Booka said, remarking that the romantic side had faded.

"I think there was such a tug of war going on between us to try and understand one another and then things eventually exploded and then once the dust settled things evened out and I think we found where we were with one another," Brett added.

We'll always have the Brett song!
