Yikes! All the couples who have exited the 2025 Married At First Sight Australia experiment so far

From the very beginning, Eliot made it very clear that if his new wife didn’t meet his long list of “non-negotiables,” he would leave. In the third episode of MAFS, Eliot kept his promise. 

“I definitely wanted someone younger than me. That was a non-negotiable,” he said. 

“I gave it the shot that I said I would based on the match,” he said. This was only moments before he left the honeymoon – two short days after the wedding.

Katie and Tim were the second to exit the MAFS experiment in 2025, luckily, we held out no real hope for these two.

From the wedding, Tim felt no “spark” given Katie wasn’t his usual type of woman.

“I normally go for short, petite, blonde or brunette like… Katie’s nothing what I normally go for,” he said.

When it came time for the couples to move in together, Tim opted out. He made a shock appearance at the dinner party, he promptly exited the party and returned home to Melbourne while Katie continued to participate in challenges.

Tim and Katie officially exited the experiment during the first commitment ceremony of 2025.

It seemed to be smooth sailing for Ashleigh and Jake when they first met, but a rogue comment during the first round of challenges from the groom set the course for their demise.

After Jake said some harsh comments during the Photo Ranking challenge, Ash sought advice in her fellow MAFS participants. Feeling betrayed, Jake ultimately wrote ‘leave’ during the first commitment ceremony. However, Ash wrote ‘stay’ – forcing the couple to remain in the experiment.

Following the commitment ceremony, Jake stayed in a separate apartment, only returning the next morning to pack his bags.

“I’m packing. I’m going,” he said.

Forcing Ash to also exit the experiment.
