Married at First Sight UK: Where are the couples now and who are still together

E4 announced the return of Married at First Sight UK last week.

A fresh batch of singletons will be looking for love on the latest series of the dating show. This year's instalment is set to feature two gay couples after introducing the first same-sex marriage in 2021, reported The Mirror.

With a longer run of 30 episodes to look forward to, some of the UK’s most adventurous singles will put the search for love in the hands of relationship experts Mel Schilling, Paul C. Brunson and Charlene Douglas. Last year saw drama, heartache, frustration and lust with this year promising to be “bigger and more dramatic”.

A bunch of singles will go on the journey of a lifetime in the hope to find their soulmate. But what about couples from past series? Are they still hitched, or have they been ditched?

Luke and Morag

To say this relationship took viewers for a ride is an understatement. Morag brutally told Luke she didn't fancy him, which resulted in the couple going their separate ways shortly after they said "I do".

Luke, who lives in Wales, still works as a fireman and has posted on his Instagram he plans to "do good things for so many people with a small platform". He also has a Cameo account where users can request personalised videos from him.

Morag, meanwhile, has partnered with sex toy and wellness brand Vush and is still close friends with Bob and Amy from the show.

Jordon and Alexis

It wasn't a particularly great start to the marriage for these two either. Jordon cheated on Alexis with Megan during the show - which obviously didn't end well. Alexis has been modelling since the show, and Jordon is working towards a career in TV.

Nikita and Ant

The pair didn't last long. As soon as Nikita, 26, set eyes on Ant she said the show's producers had "done the total opposite of what she asked for". No beating around the bush, Nikita snapped: “Looks are a huge thing for me and I don’t think they’ve listened to what I’ve said.”

But after spending more time with Ant and his family, she said that she would give the marriage a go. It wasn't just Nikita who wasn't overly enthusiastic about the match after Ant called her a "bit of a stress head".

However, their honeymoon was the real nail in the coffin when after a heated row Nikita threw her cup at him - leading to her being removed from the show. She later tried to find love again with a stint on Celebs Go Dating.

Megan and Bob

Sadly for this seemingly cute couple, it wasn't meant to be. Megan struggled to see a romantic spark with Bob, and ended up kissing Jordon. Despite Bob being angry after he found out the pair had been locking lips, they tried to make the marriage work.

It didn't work out, but the pair have remained close friends and have stayed in touch. Bob has stepped into the world of modelling and Megan has been entertaining her 25,000 followers on TikTok and is pursuing an acting career.

Tayah and Adam

Finally, a successful couple! These two lovebirds are a match made in heaven and are even having a baby together. They told OK! magazine: "We’re so excited. And the thing is we weren’t even trying! It just happened. I can’t believe it. We’re obviously just very fertile."

Back in April, the pair took to their social media accounts to reveal they are having a little girl. In the video, the couple stood in a field as Adam, 26, held a confetti cannon toward the sky.

Tayah, 26, was holding their dog as she eagerly waited for the results, and once the cannon popped and released pink confetti, they both jumped up and down with joy. "We’re having a…," they both captioned their posts.

After putting their pooch down, Tayah jumped into Adam's arms as they celebrated the exciting news. Last month the couple were forced to evacuate their home after a fire broke out in a field that spread to their neighbour's back garden.

Marilyse and Franky

This pair left the show together, but shortly after they split. Personal trainer Franky was accused by viewers of gaslighting Marilyse, which lead to their break up.

He lost fans over his questionable jokes in his wedding speech about "not being able to get a word in because he was married" raised eyebrows. Domestic abuse charity Women's Aid even stepped in and said the experts on the show needed to "recognise abuse when it's happening".

Since the show Marilyse has been linked with Luke, however the pair dismissed dating rumours saying they were just friends.

Daniel and Matt

Hurrah, another happy couple! The show's first same-sex couple are still together. For these two it was love at first sight and they went from strength-to-strength during the programme. Daniel runs wellness retreats and teaches meditation to clients.
