In a dramatic turn of events on Married at First Sight 2025, fan-favorite couple Jacqui and Ryan have decided to part ways during their final vows, revealing deep-seated issues that ultimately led to their breakup. The pair, who had shown strong chemistry throughout the experiment, stunned viewers when they chose to go their separate ways in emotional scenes filmed ahead of the finale.
Sources close to production reveal that while Jacqui and Ryan developed genuine feelings for each other, they struggled with fundamental differences in their long-term goals and communication styles. "We had an incredible connection, but at the end of the day, we want different things from life," Jacqui explained during the vows ceremony. Ryan echoed her sentiments, stating, "I'll always care about her, but we both deserve partners who are 100% aligned with our futures."
Despite their breakup, both participants have expressed gratitude for their MAFS experience. Insiders confirm they've remained on good terms since filming wrapped, with Ryan even attending Jacqui's birthday celebrations recently. Their mature handling of the split has drawn praise from fans, with many calling it "the most respectful breakup in MAFS history."
The revelation comes as MAFS 2025 prepares to air its explosive finale this week, where other couples will also reveal whether they chose to stay together or separate. Producers have teased that Jacqui and Ryan's segment contains one of the most raw and honest moments in the show's history.
Channel 9 has confirmed both will appear in the upcoming reunion special to discuss their journey. Early audience polls suggest they remain one of the season's most beloved pairs despite their decision to divorce.
The MAFS 2025 finale airs Sunday at 7:00pm on Channel 9 and 9Now, with the reunion special to follow next week.
