Married at First Sight UK hasn’t held back when it comes to the drama so far, with two grooms struggling to find that initial spark of attraction with their onscreen wives, and one couple 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, where he was doing time in military prison for abandoning 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?

Are Alex and Holly from MAFS UK still together?

There’s no information about whether Alex and Holly are still together yet as the show is still running on E4.

Normally the couples are expected to stay silent on the status of their relationship until the show ends and the reunion has been televised. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t snoop as much as we can to find clues on whether the pair are still in contact.

It looks like Alex and Holly do follow one another on Instagram right now, but that doesn't mean anything just yet, considering they both follow a number of the other brides and grooms from the show.

After a recent disagreement aired on MAFS, Alex's response to a commenter suggests they might have split. Holly tried to iron out an argument involving new wife Amy, but Alex refused to address it at the dinner party.

On IG he wrote: "She just wanted air time. She had 10 hours to talk to me about anything before cameras come out. This was her trying to get air time and use a lil situation to get people to feel sorry for her. Saw the lights, saw the camera, heard action."

The couple have had their fair share of heated arguments on the show, including a huge verbal bust up at the first dinner party after Holly found out that Alex said he would "swap wives" if he didn't like his partner.

“If I don’t like my wife, I’ll let that be known to her and if there was a connection with somebody then…” Alex said, explaining his comments to Holly. "That hasn’t happened so…"

At the commitment ceremony, Alex also 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.

Fans aren't convinced that the pair make it to the end which may or may not come as a surprise to those of you who have been following the drama outside the show.

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.
