Are Kieran and Kristina from Married At First Sight UK still together? Here's everything we know about their relationship so far.
Married at First Sight UK returned on E4 with a new cast of singles hoping to find ‘the one’ by saying ‘I do’ to a complete stranger.
Kristina and Kieran were just one of the couples who got married having never met, paired by the experts Mel Schilling, Charlene Douglas and Paul C Brunson who are the match-makers and relationship advisors throughout the experiment.
Kristina and Kieran were paired because of their shared love of animals and the outdoors, but Kieran started the experiment with his trust in relationships at rock bottom after revealing his ex-girlfriend of eight years cheated on him with his best friend.
Meanwhile, Kristina said she needs 'someone to keep up with her' after being single for over two years and hoped to find someone who "wants to look after me" and who treats her like their "all and everything."
Sadly, Kristina and Kieran are no longer together after leaving the experiment during the final commitment ceremony.
At the reunion, it seemed like Kieran had moved on quickly, whilst Kristina was still working through her feelings for Kieran.
This caused some emotional backlash after Kristina found out that in the months after their break up, Kieran had already begun dating.
However, they managed to end things amicably as they both clearly had so much love for one another. After voting to leave, Kieran apologised to Kristina in a heartfelt message.
"Is there a better wife on this series that I could have been matched with? No. Do I regret letting Kristina go? No."
"This sounds brutal, I know. but I wasn’t the man for Kristina, and she deserves someone to put her on a pedestal. Someone who can give their whole self to her, someone who can support her through the highs and lows. But I’m afraid that just isn’t me anymore. In the past absolutely, I wanted to be a healer, a helper, someone’s world..."
He said: "Kristina, first of all I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there for you, I’m sorry that I’ve been trying to decide over the last couple of weeks whether I have it in me or not.
"I’m sorry I voiced that you have similarities to a previous relationship, and I never meant to compare you. I’m just sorry I couldn’t make it work."
While they were on the show there were a number of rumours floating online about Kieran shacking up with other MAFS brides, in particular, Polly and Sacha.
The rumours got so bad that Kieran had to speak out against them, telling those starting and spreading the rumour mill to "roll it up into a ball and shove it up your a---."
Kristina and Kieran were the first couple matched on Married at First Sight UK season 9, filling the experts (and viewers!) with high hopes they’d secured a well-suited bride and groom.
Their relationship got off to a flying start, with the experts pairing them based on the ‘bundle of eccentricities’ they both bring to the table. Paul pointed out: “But beneath the high energy levels these two have high emotional perception too, because both have experienced heartbreak in previous relationships.”
The duo also seemed to really enjoy their time together on their honeymoon, growing even closer than before. After moving in together, Kristina and Kieran looked stronger than ever and entered the first dinner party as a pretty rock-solid couple.
Speaking about the couple, Paul noted that, “Kieran is dependable and loyal,” while Mel agreed: “And Kristina is empathic and kind, traits Kieran really admires.”
Kristina said in her introduction: “I do want a man who has the same mentality as me. Just endless laughter. I like a guy who is adventurous, fun, everything that I am. He might think I’m too much, too full on, but then it might be too much because I think one of me is enough.”
How MAFS' Kristina really felt about Kieran's teeth
Kieran gave an insight into his fun-loving nature when he waited at the altar for Kristina with a set of crooked false teeth.
After she burst into fits of giggles when he revealed they were false, Kieran playfully declared: “You are my woman!”
They finished their wedding on positive terms, appearing to have hit it off instantly, especially when Kristina was introduced to Hugo, Kieran's beloved Rottweiler but sadly they just weren't meant to be.
