Watch the heartbreaking moment MAFS UK couple’s marriage hits the rocks ahead of shock split two weeks after filming
MARRIED At First Sight couple Sacha and Ross’ marriage hits the rocks during tonight’s episode.
At the end of Wednesday’s instalment of the E4 show, they teased what viewers can expect from today’s show.
The couples are about to head into home stay week, and it looks like things don’t go to plan for some of them.
Brummy lass Sacha and Manchester lad Ross tied the knot as part of this year’s experiment – and things appeared to be going well between them.
In tonight’s episode, Ross reunites with his young daughter, who he has been away from because of taking part in the show.
However it creates a number of doubts for both of them.
He asks one of his loved ones how they would feel if they moved to Walsall (where Sacha is based).
They reply: “It’s not happening.”
Sacha tells him: “Manchester’s not a certainty for me anymore.
“I just hope it doesn’t get in the way of our relationship.”
Earlier this month it was revealed that Sacha was left heartbroken after her husband Ross dumped her two weeks after filming the show – and went public with his new girlfriend on Instagram.
His mystery girlfriend has already been revealed as a blonde beauty business owner called Magda.
Ross, who was the first deaf contestant on MAFS UK, and Magda started dating as early as June this year.
He posted a screenshot of the couple, telling her: “You’re the best” and she replied, “you’re welcome, you can keep me forever”.
He also added an ‘M’ to his Instagram account and she has reciprocated with an ‘R’ in her Instagram bio.
Despite her doubts, Sacha moved to Manchester.
A source told MailOnline: “Sacha had an incredible experience filming Married At First Sight UK and she truly thought her marriage with Ross would work.
“She moved to Manchester to be with him but after just two weeks he went cold and ended their romance for good.
“Sacha was devastated and now watching their journey back as the show airs makes processing their breakup even harder.
“Producers weren’t happy either… Ross gave away that he and Sacha were no longer together by posting photos with his new girlfriend – he had no problem flaunting his romance despite the fact it would hurt his ex-wife’s feelings.”
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
