Married at First Sight UK 2023 was one of the series' most dramatic experiments, so which couples are still together now? Here's all the MAFS pairs who are still going strong.

The brides and grooms reached the end of their MAFS UK experiment in October 2023 and along the way we saw one contestant quit (Nathanial), one couple kicked off and a brand new couple formed; Matt and Shona.

And now, a year down the line, after the all-important MAFS UK reunion revealed epic fall outs, shock revelations and even a real-life engagement – which couples have managed to stay together?

With the hype around MAFS still at an all time high with the Australia version keeping fans hooked earlier this year and the shock announcement of Peggy and Georges split, it's no wonder so many of us are tuning back in for MAFS UK season nine in 2024.

So which couples from the UK 2023 show, season eight, have managed to stay strong and together? And which ones have secretly gone their separate ways? Here's what we know.

Are Peggy and Georges still together?

Sadly Peggy and Georges have officially broken up, as of Valentine's Day, 2024.

It's a bit too soon to tell what exactly has happened between them but Peggy took to her Instagram stories to reveal the news.

She wrote, "I'm so sorry I've been quiet on socials everybody but there's a reason for my silence. Me and Georges are no longer together and I'm absolutely heartbroken."

"It's affected my mental health and it's taken me weeks to come to terms with it but with it being Valentine's Day, I can't pretend to be OK."

"Thank you to everyone who has supported us and our journey... Nobody is more upset about it than me x."

One hour later Georges posted his own Instagram story in response to Peggy's, which read "Wasn’t expecting a statement from Peggy regarding this situation."

"I’m heart broken by our breakup and also trying to come to terms with life without Peggy. I appreciate a lot of you have questions but I won’t be talking about this situation as of yet. Also thank you for the messages of support."

Are Laura and Arthur still together?

Laura and Arthur broke up during the vow renewals episode, with her telling him the experience showed her what she 'doesn't want' in a marriage. Until then, they'd given fans hope that they're still together as they continued to post pictures of their time together in the experiment on their respective social media profiles.

However, reports on MailOnline claimed earlier in October that Arthur was spotted kissing another woman in a London nightclub on his birthday weekend, so they could be set for heartbreak afterall.

Are Tasha and Paul still together?

Tasha and Paul were one of viewers’ favourite couples, with both of them admitting at one of the final dinner parties they’ve both made huge progress in terms of being comfortable discussing their emotions.

Things seem to be going very well for the couple who remain very supportive of one another and can even get a little bit soppy over on social media.

Following a recent post, Tasha said to Paul how "incredibly proud" of him she was.

Are Adrienne and Matt still together?

Adrienne and Matt confirmed they're no longer together while at the reunion dinner party, with Adrienne telling her co-stars things came to a head when he took too long to reply to her messages. Their breakup came as a shock to viewers as in the episode prior they'd committed to each other at the vow renewals.

Meanwhile, Matt moved on with co-star Shona Manderson – who left the experiment early after the experts said it would be best if she and husband Brad Skelly drop out – after they got together once filming wrapped.

On the show, he and Adrienne hit it off instantly at the altar, but it seems things weren't meant to be.

Are Erica and Jordan still together?

Erica and Jordan are no longer together. They split after the reunion show aired in February after constantly butting heads, something viewers saw during the experiment and in the reunion episodes. While they confirmed it wasn't re-living the reunion that led them to break up, unlike the reports, they said it 'wasn't an easy decision' to end things.

It's a far cry from the vow renewals when they decided to stay together, with Jordan sweetly telling his then-wife he imagined a life of dogs and babies with her.

Their relationship was tested when Jordan was hit with rumours he'd kissed another girl, something he and Erica fell out over at the reunion dinner party, however, they stayed together for a few months after this.

In March 2024, he told the tabloids: "It's sad, we had a really nice conversation that we left it on and there was no bad blood, there is no anger, going forwards we thought it might not work."

On the reason they broke up, he explained: "There is no one to blame, the way our lifestyle was, travelling out of a suitcase and not having a settled home and base. That can get on top of you and stress you out...it was an accumulation of things."

Are Ella and JJ still together?

Ella and JJ broke up at the vow renewals, with Ella admitting he's not the right guy for her despite being the first man to accept her for who she is.

They've proved they're at least on positive terms, after Ella left a white heart emoji on one of his MAFS’ posts.

She took to social media after their vow renewal aired, thanking JJ for being part of her journey. Ella wrote: "Thank you for everything you've shown me. You will always be a huge part of my life, a bestie for life, and have the biggest place in my heart forever!"

JJ is now dating Katie Price.

Are Rozz and Thomas still together?

Rozz and Thomas broke up at the final commitment ceremony when she brutally told him she didn't want children with him. They made viewers’ hearts complete when they finally stepped out the friend zone and into full on romance after weeks of awkwardness, but after Homestay week Rozz had a change of heart.

They’re still on good terms regardless and have only been complimentary of each other over on Instagram. In one recent post she called him her ‘rock’ after a difficult week in the experiment.

She sweetly wrote: “[Thomas] really was my rock and helped me get out of my wobble and realise I’m not only ok; but I am worthy of a relationship, I am kind, and most importantly my sparkle was enough."

Are Luke and Jay still together?

Luke and Jay are no longer together after leaving MAFS UK! Luke shocked the relationship experts when he told them he was 'done' despite Jay wanting to work things out. It seems the last straw was the lack of communication due to the distance between their hometowns, with Jay left upset Luke wasn't making the effort she'd hoped for.

Paul C Brunson advised that he change his ways for the sake of their relationship, but it was clear Luke had no fight left in him and Jay admitted she didn't want to fight for someone who didn't want her back.

They mostly had a positive experience on MAFS UK and, aside from concerns over the long distance between their home towns, they didn't face many other conflicts until the very end of their time on the show.

Their biggest challenge came when, on the couples retreat, Jay found out Luke told the boys he felt he could go out and get another girl’s number and Jay wouldn’t be bothered.

Are Sean and Mark still together?

Sean and Mark are no longer together after Sean chose to leave the experiment, letting his on-screen husband know in a letter. Just a couple of weeks before the reunion Sean told Mark he didn't want to be part of the experiment anymore and didn't see their relationship going any further.

They seemed like a great match when they were paired by the experts and were an integral part of the MAFS UK group in terms of positive energy, however, their spark fizzled out after a few weeks.
