MAFS 2026: Which Couples Survived Slow-Burns, Soulmates, and Savage Splits?
With Final Vows imminent, Married At First Sight Season 13 contestants must choose whether to continue their matches. MAFS 2026 has delivered slow-burns, clear soulmates, and savage splits across its final weeks.
Alissa and David
Their relationship began with drama when Alissa refused to marry David at the aisle. She asked him to propose first, which set a tense tone.
They later grew closer, but power struggles resurfaced during Homestays. Alissa reversed a plan to move to Sydney, insisting David relocate to her hometown of Adelaide instead.
At the Commitment Ceremony, David said he felt unheard. After the Final Test, both removed their rings during a heated argument and David left, vowing not to attend Final Vows.
He returned to the Final Dinner Party and placed Alissa’s ring back on while apologising and declaring his love. Alissa reacted angrily and remained unsure. Their status heading into vows remained unresolved.
Gia and Scott
Once viewed as a power couple, Gia and Scott split before Final Vows. The break came after a fight about leaving the experiment early.
Gia wanted to leave; Scott initially agreed but then changed his mind. Gia departed alone and later returned to the Final Dinner Party to try to repair things.
Scott had seen footage of Gia flirting with an alternative match. He also discovered she had not been truthful about her movements between Melbourne and Sydney.
Feeling betrayed, Scott ended the relationship. Gia has since gone public with a new boyfriend, Alan Wallace.
Bec and Danny
Bec and Danny survived several public setbacks and remain together going into Final Vows. Their relationship has weathered shaky sexual chemistry and public criticism.
Bec’s crude remarks at the Retreat led to temporary exile. Tensions rose when she reconnected with Gia and took another man’s phone number on Gia’s behalf during the Final Test.
Danny viewed that act as encouraging infidelity. Bec worried he might not be fully invested, so the pair entered the final days needing to rebuild trust.
Stella and Filip
Stella and Filip have been the season’s most romantic match. Sparks ignited early and became a strong, mutual bond.
They worked through Stella’s abandonment fears and worries about Filip moving his life. On their final date Stella gave Filip a house key as a sign of commitment.
Filip said the gesture convinced him he could relocate. The couple planned to live together after filming and looked set for a lasting partnership.
Rachel and Steven
Rachel and Steven developed slowly but steadily. Their intimacy evolved from early awkwardness into a genuine connection.
Steven initially resisted simple physical advances during Intimacy Week. By Homestays he admitted he could see himself falling in love.
They entered Final Vows in a stronger place than before, offering one of the season’s most patient transformations.
