MAFS shock as ‘strongest’ couple SPLIT off camera just weeks after filming ends
MARRIED At First Sight’s “strongest” couple of the 2024 season have split, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
The duo have delighted E4 fans with their blossoming romance – seeing the pair finally declare I Love You during last week’s final dates episode.
Yet now The Sun can reveal that Lacey Martin, 27, and Nathan Campbell, 24, secretly split after filming for Married At First Sight ended earlier this year.
This week, we can report how viewers will see the couple commit to each other at final vows, which air tonight, and agree to give their relationship a go outside of the experiment.
They will also still be together at the two part reunion, which airs Wednesday and Thursday night.
But the pair secretly split after filming for the series and the subsequent reunion wrapped.
Our source has told The Sun: “Nathan and Lacey really tried to make their relationship work in the real world but it just fizzled after a while.
“The final vows were filmed in February and they were still going strong in April when the reunion was shot, but since then they have called in quits.
“They were both sad it didn’t work out, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be.
“It’s also a big blow for fans who were really invested in their relationship.
“They were widely viewed as the strongest couple of the series so the news that they are no longer an item is such a shame.”
The shock split comes after it was revealed Lacey was rushed to hospital on the E4 show – in scenes that did not make it to air.
Yet last weeks episode painted a bright picture for the couple as they enjoyed a day out.
They exchanged I Love Yous and gifts, which saw Nathan dedicate a star to his bride.
Yet this did not come without incident, with Nathan throwing up before the big declaration due to a rocky helicopter ride.

Previously, The Sun revealed that during final vows this week, two couples will decide to stay together while two will split.
The Sun will keep the identities of which two couples break up a secret, so as to not to spoil the surprise for viewers.
A TV insider told us: “It’s very dramatic, emotional viewing. The finale basically sees the show end with a 50% success rate as two of the remaining four couples decide to continue with their relationships outside the show, while the other two call it a day.
“There are lots of tears and the outcome will surprise fans of the series.
“Of course, there are two reunion episodes to follow after the final vows, so it remains to be seen if the two surviving couples are still an item months after filming wrapped.”
