Married at First Sight UK hasn’t held back with the drama this year, with two grooms struggling to find that initial spark of attraction with their onscreen wives, and multiple couples deciding to quit the show.

Alex and Holly were paired by the relation experts Mel Schilling, Charlene Douglas and Paul C Brunson, but it seems like wedding bliss faded quite quickly after the pair realised they may be on different pages when it comes to children.

Fans of the show might already know that Alex found himself in a spot of bother after filming, as he ended up in military prison because he had abandoned his post to join the show.

So do the couple get on the same page during the social experiment? Are MAFS UK’s Alex and Holly still together? Here's what we know...

Are Alex and Holly from MAFS UK still together?

Strap in for this one because Alex and Holly have never done things half-arsed, breaking up included.

At this point in time, it certainly seems like the couple are not together, however, it's just not that simple.

After many many ups and downs on the show, they decided to call it quits during the penultimate commitment ceremony yet after filming ended for MAFS the two were papped on a night out in Manchester holding hands and kissing.

But wait, there's more. That same week earlier in November 2024, Alex took to Instagram to post about himself and Holly.

Not only did he reshare the paparazzi photos, but he also teased his fans into believing that he and Holly had reignited their relationship when fan told him: “Knew it wasn’t the end of you and Holly!”, Alex replied: “When someone leaves in anger, they aren’t done. When they leave in peace, be scared.”

But when another fan asked him, “Will you marry me?” Alex replied by posting the song ‘Already Taken’ by Trey Songz, essentially saying that he was a taken man.

But wait, there's more. After weeks of allowing MAFS fans to think the two were privately figuring out their romantic relationship, things went silent.

Neither Alex nor Holly has posted about one another recently which caused a fan to jump on Holly's Instagram and ask her: “Why did you split up again with Alex?” to which she replied: "We was never back together, we was working on a friendship.”

So it seems like the pair are just friends and maybe that's for the best since at the first commitment ceremony Alex admitted that he would have 'ghosted' Holly if they had met in the real world. Alex decided to leave, while Holly opted to stay and in the end, Alex agreed to stay and give it another go.

Not only did Alex get in trouble with the military, but after E4 shared a promo video of him as a contestant, several social media users commented on the post with allegations of abuse.

After several women came forward accusing the MAFS contestant of abusive behaviour in the past, Women's Aid made demands for Alex to be removed from the show.
