They have been hailed as E4's Married At First Sight golden couple but Chanita Stephenson and Jordan Emmett-Connelly are over according to reports. It has been claimed that Jordan has cut off all contact with his show partner.
In the programme, social worker Chanita, 29, and account manager Jordan, 29, said 'I do' after first meeting at the altar. Viewers quickly saw them become one of the experiment's strongest couples. But, according to a report in the Mirror, the moment the cameras were turned off things appeared to have changed.
Married at First Sight UK is billed as a 'bold social experiment', by the channel. In the show, single people are matched by experts to total strangers who then meet for the first time at the alter on their wedding day. Couple Chanita and Jordan have been held up as one of the series' big success stories but, it is claimed, that they "split the moment filming for E4 show ended".

While Chanita and Jordan appeared to be going strong, the MailOnline claim they are no longer together. A source said: "Jordan and Chanita's marriage hasn't lasted.
"Chanita tried everything to keep the spark they had in the initial weeks of them meeting alive but a relationship is about two people – and Jordan no longer seemed interested.
"Once filming for the series had ended, Jordan took a step back, and stopped messaging her completely – Chanita was heartbroken because she really saw a future for them together."
Last week in the series, Jordan said she was struggling to say 'love' to Chanita as he admitted he wasn't at that point yet. On Monday night's episode, the cast reunite for a final dinner party, leaving fans to discover which couples made it outside the experiment.
Chanita reportedly desperately tried to make things work but Jordan reportedly lost interest – leaving her heartbroken. The series has been plagued by drama – Whitney and Matt caused a stir by falling for one another, despite being married to other people.
- Married At First Sight UK airs Monday-Thursday at 9pm on E4
