Michael Felix and Stephen Stewart are one of Married at First Sight's first same-sex couples but their journey to love hasn't been the smoothest.

MAFS Australia 2024 viewers were first introduced to Michael during the debut episode of the show as he attended the other brides' hen night where he was sadly told his partner had pulled out of the experiment last minute.

This means the experts Mel Schilling, Alessandra Rampolla and John Aiken were tasked with pairing Michael with a brand-new groom. Three weeks later Michael returned to the show where he walked down the aisle to marry hairdresser Stephen.

Did this last-minute choice impact the success of the marriage or have Michael and Stephen made it work? Here's everything we know, beware there will be spoilers ahead.

Are MAFS Australia couple Michael and Stephen still together now?

Michael and Stephen are definitely not together as they don't even make it to the end of the social experiment.

During a 'cheating' scandal that had Stephen supposedly flirting with another man where he went on to keep in contact with him over text messages. Michael found it difficult to bounce back from that.

News of this upset Michael, who told the camera: “I’m hurt from this, I'm p**sed about this [and] my trust is betrayed."

However, Stephen said: "The fact that it came so easily with a stranger I had never met...[I realise] we are fighting a losing battle." This left the status of their relationship up in the air as Michael said his felt 'disrespected, confused, upset, hurt, and angry'.

Stephen had been brutally candid that he was struggling with attraction with Michael, and after the couple's retreat, they both called it and decided to leave the experiment.
