Married at First Sight UK returned on E4 with a new cast of singles, including bride and groom Julia-Ruth and Divarni - so are they still together now?

Professional dancer Julia-Ruth is no stranger to a dating show but the 29 year old hopes this time round the experts Mel Schilling, Charlene Douglas, and Paul C Brunson, will match her with someone who is "down to earth, ambitious and empathetic".

Meanwhile, musician Divarni is looking to settle down having been single for two years. He is looking for someone with a "big smile and nice eyes" – and would be particularly thrilled if they were "quirky, goal oriented, artistic and intellectual".

So, did the experts get it right with this match? Here's what we know about Julia Ruth and Divarni now, whether they're still together or if they've split.

Are MAFS UK's Julia-Ruth and Divarni still together?

No, Julia-Ruth and Divarni have parted ways. A chat before the retreat dinner party with the rest of the cast sealed their fate, as the pair ended up 'divorcing'.

Tensions were already high for the couple following the fourth dinner party where they were grilled by both the cast and experts. Although the likes of Ashley and Leigh begged Divarni to leave, they both decided to stay and give their relationship one last shot.

Since the explosive episode has aired, Julia-Ruth took to Instagram stories to question her ex-husbands true intentions claiming he wanted a 'free holiday', and reveal she was "Happily Divorced".

What's happened between Julia-Ruth and Divarni so far?

It's early days in the experiment but so far Julia-Ruth and Divarni are looking more than compatible. In fact, things are looking so good that the groom even confessed it was: "Love at first sight."

In response, and just as complimentary, Julia-Ruth said: "He's a really gorgeous man. I love his hair. He's got a really great smile."

At the end of their wedding day they confirmed no red flags had been found yet but of course, there's still the honeymoons and living arrangements to go through yet.

Despite, their fairytale wedding day things took a turn for the worse on their honeymoon. The newlyweds clashed on their different approaches to life, with Divarni being more serious whilst Julia-Ruth had a carefree attitude. She confessed her struggles to the camera, describing Divarni as "a tornado of negativity".

Although Julia-Ruth and Divarni made up, an explosive dinner party set the couple back again. As Julia-Ruth confronted Steven about his recent comments he made "bragging" about sleeping with someone he met on Raya just two weeks before the experiment.

Steven ended up shouting at her across the room before storming out and saying: "They're all f------ c----."

Julia-Ruth reflected on the situation and admitted to camera she was disappointed that Divarni didn't have her back and stand up for her.

During in-laws week, things took a dramatic turn for the couple when Julia-Ruth's friends learnt about Divarni's past behavior and confronted him. In the intense scenes, Divarni walked off crying with his cousin comforting him.

Things worsened for the couple, when it was revealed that, despite Julia-Ruth telling the rest of the cast she didn't fancy him or see a future with him, they had been intimate.

The drama continued for Julia-Ruth and Divarni at the fourth commitment ceremony, when Julia-Ruth's lies surrounding their intimacy were exposed, leaving everyone in shock.

Despite the cast speaking up about the situation, the pair both chose to stay - a decision which shocked the cast and experts.

Tensions were high for the pair when they arrived at the couples retreat, following the commitment ceremony where the cast urged Divarni to leave. Things finally boiled over at the dinner party when Julia-Ruth clashed with Nelly, Ashley, Bailey, and Divarni over how she treated him throughout the experiment.

Unsurprisingly, the couple both decided to leave at the following commitment ceremony. Julia-Ruth told the experts their "relationship is in the gutter", whilst Divarni said his wife took "no accountability".
