Warning: Show spoilers ahead!
Are MAFS Australia’s Lauren and Jonathan still together?
Lauren and Jonathan are definitely not being together.
In fact, in the final week of the show, it's discovered that Jono had been texting fellow contestant Ellie Dix behind Lauren's back. Despite repeatedly saying it meant nothing and they were just friends after he and Lauren called it quits at Final Vows, Jono returned to the reunion arm-in-arm with Ellie.
Jonathan was actually photographed kissing Ellie on a beach in Sydney all the way back in early March 2024.
According to the Daily Mail, the pair kept in contact after Married At First Sight finished filming and got together after the show.
An insider told the publication, "Lauren had no idea that Jono kept in contact with Ellie and found out during filming, and boy was she not happy."
"She was completely gobsmacked and felt humiliated by the end, but everyone else is happy for them."
"Jono and Ellie maintained contact after she left the show, but the romance only escalated once Jono ended things with Lauren at the Final Vows. Their real-life meeting a few days later revealed an undeniable chemistry."
So there you have it, if these sources are to be believed then Lauren and Jonathan make it to Final Vows but choose not to continue with their relationship, but Jono finds love outside of the experiment.
An insider spoke to Daily Mail Australia revealing that off camera, their relationship is essentialy non-existent off camera.
“Lauren didn't want to spend any time with Jono when they weren't filming,” the insider told the publication.
“Though they had some really good times, Lauren would often prefer to hang out with friends, watch reality TV and ignore him when he asked if she wanted dinner.”
“Lauren treated Jono very poorly,” the source claimed,“the rest of the cast felt sorry for him, she would barely look up from her phone or even respond when he tried to talk to her.”
If that didn’t convince you, worry not, we have some pretty solid evidence that Lauren and Jonathan don’t end up together.
