Mum-of-one, and self-confessed ‘troublemaker’ or 'radgie' (to any Newcastle folk), Maeve has entered the Married at First Sight experiment with hopes of finally securing a mature relationship, after years of fighting with her parents over the boys she goes for.

And Joe has joined the experiment after a frank conversation with his mum forced him to put an end to his excessive party days. The 31-year-old personal trainer is now looking for his partner-in-crime to live life to the fullest with.

While the experts have matched these two together, revelations on their wedding day put into question their compatibility. Maeve admitted she can be an argumentative drunk. This paired with her choice to wear black to their wedding, and enter horseback, had Joe saying: "I'm not 100% sure Maeve is my type."

So, did Maeve and Joe manage to work past their differences? Or did their romance end quicker than it started? Here's what we know about whether they're still together now.

Are MAFS UK's Joe and Maeve still together?

No, Joe and Maeve split during the couples retreat before the dinner party.

While Maeve was getting ready for the dinner party, Joe decided to surprise her - but things quickly turned sour when she confronted him about the comments he had made to fellow groom Ashley regarding his feelings towards her.

She said: “You got asked if you have any feelings towards me, you didn’t say anything.”

Joe ended their relationship and stormed out, leaving a tearful Maeve having to explain what had just happened to the rest of the group. Bailey later sought out Joe and tried to convince him to attend the dinner party to tell his side of the story. Ultimately, he refused, telling producers he wanted to go home.

Since their break up aired on TV, Maeve took to social media to thank fans for their "lovely messages" and shared she would be posting a video soon to discuss what go missed out from the edit.

What's happened between MAFS UK couple Maeve and Joe so far?

At the alter, there was certainly a difference of opinions with Maeve impressed by how hot her new husband was but with Joe left disappointed by his bride's choice of black dress and riding in on a horse. Yeah that happened.

Joe was instantly worried about Maeve's personality too, as it was clear she was a bit of a party girl. He said: "I get the vibe that she’d be a bit of a party girl. She’s very lively, very bubbly, I think she’s going to be a bit of a handful, so that is a worry."

Her lively nature continued to worry Joe throughout their wedding ceremony as he declared his partying days in the past. He was also concerned when she confessed she could become argumentative when drunk.

Maeve, when speaking to her friends, was worried about Joe being more mature than her but admitted she would be happy to reign in her partying ways for her marriage.

She said: "I would love to show Joe that vulnerable side of me but I’m a bit apprehensive because I’ve been hurt so much, and I’m not sure what my husband is thinking of me."

Although, the couple had a small blip on their honeymoon they've been going strength to strength since. At the second commitment ceremony, they dropped the L-word to each other describing themselves as "an old married couple".

During in-laws week, Maeve said she hoped they had a future together, but emphasised they were taking things slowly as Joe said they were just "enjoying the moment".

Shortly after this, Joe found out his grandad had passed away, so he left the experiment for a short period of time.

Attending the fourth commitment ceremony alone, Maeve admitted the distance and Joe's mixed messages towards her had left her "'in her head a lot". Ultimately, she decided to stay in the experiment in hopes of getting answers from him.

Maeve and Joe briefly met up before the couples retreat dinner party, where she confronted him about the comments he had made to Ashley regarding his feelings towards her.

Joe ended their relationship and stormed out, leaving a tearful Maeve having to explain what had just happened to the rest of the group.

Attending another commitment ceremony alone once, Maeve explained her encounter with Joe which led to the end of their relationship. Mel then read a letter to her from Joe, which left her feeling emotional.
