Jayden and Eden are the Married At First Sight Australia 2024 couple we're all cheering on - so are they still together? Or have things cooled off? Here's everything we know.
Married At First Sight Australia 2024 had a lot of making up to do when it came to pairings, considering no one from the 2023 season managed to make their marriages work.
But experts Alessandra Rampolla, John Aiken and Mel Schilling rose to the challenge, with a more diverse cast, bringing us couple Jayden Eynaud and Eden Harper - so who are they and are they still together?
On the younger end of the spectrum, Jayden came into the series and immediately stole hearts with his sunny smile and big old softie energy, after being paired up with the beautiful Eden Harper.
But Jayden’s not the first Eynaud to be on the reality show, his brother Mitch Eynaud was part of the 2022 season where he was married to Ella Ding.
Whilst his brother’s relationship didn’t last past the experiment, how has Jayden fared? Are Eden and Jayden still together after the experiment? Or did they split? Prepare yourselves, there are spoilers ahead.
Married At First Sight couple Jayden and Eden are no longer together, Eden posted an Instagram post in mid-April 2024 confirming their split.
The reality star shared a carousel of photos and videos of her on-screen husband with a long caption that read, "When I made the decision at Final Vows to be with Jayden, I really did that with long-term intentions."
"Jayden and 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. 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.”
"Thank you for supporting us and for also wishing for the same fairytale that I had hoped for."
Jayden posted his own Instagram post just hours later, with a caption that read, "Sometimes in life, things don’t always go the way you had hoped for."
"After the experiment, Eden and I went back to the Gold Coast and continued to enjoy living our lives together and getting to know each other every day."
"However, unfortunately, our relationship ended not long before the end of the experiment airing. As sad as it is, I’m so glad I got to go through this with such an amazing woman and a beautiful son. You will both always have a second family on the Gold Coast."
Eden has spoken out to PEDESTRIAN.TV on she doesn't think she and Jayden will ever get back together.
“We’re not still in touch… I’ve been pretty upset and pretty shattered by the way things played out with Jayden and I,” she told the publication.
Eden then revealed just how out of nowhere it came for her.
“It was just one of the nights he was coming over for dinner and to stay… we ate, and then after it he just [broke up with me] and that was that,” Eden recalled. “It’s definitely been really difficult for me and I really wanted to make things work.”
Weirdly, just one day prior to Eden's explosive post, the kickboxer had posted a picture of himself, his brother and Eden all happily spending time with one another.
The show stopped airing in Australia towards the end of March 2024, which meant the pair must have been broken up for a few weeks now before Eden announced it in her own breakup post.
Yet, Eden and Jayden were seen clasping hands in Jayden's post, with smiles on their faces and if Eden’s post is anything to go by, the pair should have already been broken up by that point.
The break-up had fans shocked as everything was going so well between them up until that point, both during the show and outside the experiment.
The pair were spotted at the start of February holding hands at a petrol station in Queensland’s Gold Coast.
A source told So Dramatic! Podcast, “I saw a very loved-up Jayden and Eden holding hands at a service station… They looked super cute and happy, guess they lasted the MAFS sh** show."
But wait, there’s more evidence to suggest the couple are going strong and it had to do with Jayden’s brother Mitch.
Back in October of 2023, Mitch posted a carousel of photos of himself and an adorable golden retriever on Instagram.
Keen eyed followers quickly identified the dog as Jayden's on-screen wife Eden’s retriever named Cub, because of its red collar.
The fans caught on quickly and the post has been littered with comments, such as “Isn't this showing us that Eden and Jayden stay together!” One fan wrote as a number of others commented, “That’s Eden’s dog.”
With Married At First Sight's filming beginning around July 2023, this post kind of proves that both Jayden and Eden were seeing each other as late as October of last year, months after filming wrapped up.
And it comes as no surprise that these two have probably managed to make it work as their similarities are astounding.
Starting with their location, not only are both of them from the Gold Coast, but they frequent the same cafes, shops and beaches.
Speaking to Yahoo! Lifestyle, Jayden said "We talked about this at our wedding, we go to the same cafes, we order the same food, we get all our muscle meals from the same place.”
“We have the same locals, we go for walks on the same beach. Everything we do is the same, so I don't know how we hadn't met."
"Literally, I can drive to her house in three minutes."
Well, well well, the real question is have you been to her house? From the sounds of things, Jayden and Eden are still together and invested in each other's lives.
