MAFS Australia couple Eden and Jayden have shocked fans by announcing their split.
The reality TV stars, who were matched together on the 2024 series, made it all the way to final vows on the show, choosing to continue their relationship after the experiment.
Both Eden and Jayden shared separate Instagram posts today (April 17) confirming their break-up, alongside several photos from the couple's time together.

"When I made the decision at final vows to be with Jayden, I really did that with longterm intentions," wrote Eden in her post. "Jayden & I spent many months together after the experiment, during which Cub gained a dad and I gained a second family who I’m truly grateful for."
"I’m saddened to share that toward the end of the show airing, our relationship came to an unexpected end," she continued. "The ‘reality’ is, the person I chose didn’t choose me.
"Whilst I’m disappointed, I will never regret the experiment, the people I met, the lessons I learnt and the growth this process has had on me."
Eden signed off by thanking fans for their support and re-iterating her hopes for finding her "fairytale" ending.

"As sad as it is, I’m so glad I got to go through this with such an amazing woman and a beautiful son [Eden's dog Cub]," his caption continued. "You will both always have a second family on the Gold Coast."
The final vows episode of the current Married at First Sight Australia series is yet to air in the UK, but has already been broadcast in Australia.
