Married At First Sight Australia contestants Lucinda Light and Timothy Smith have reached a crucial point in their relationship - so have they managed to stay together? Or have they broken up?
Timothy Smith and Lucinda Light are weeks into the Married At First Sight Australia experiment and yet despite the obvious reasons the experts matched them together, things between the two have been as slow a burn as ever.
Lucinda’s easygoing, spiritual and sensual energy seemed to be in perfect harmony with Timothy’s outgoing nature. While personality-wise, they may have seemed to be a match on paper, Timothy's trauma has kept his walls up and made it difficult for Lucinda to connect emotionally and physically.
The bride's never-ending patience with her husband who's struggled with intimacy, deep conversations and matching her energy has left everyone asking, are they still together now? Or have they split?
Here's everything we know about where MAFS Australia’s Lucinda and Timothy are at with one another.
MAFS Australia’s Lucinda and Timothy are no longer together, in fact, despite ending the experiment as friends, it seems like the pair have blocked one another on Instagram during the first week of June.
Timothy shared a TikTok with his followers where he's shown saying, “ If people don’t respect your time - and respect is a big word - if they don’t appreciate or respect the time that you give people, cut them out. Get rid of them,”
“ Don’t let anyone waste one minute of your life and time because if they don’t respect it, they don’t deserve to have it," and fans have speculated it's about Lucinda.
Especially after an inside source claiming to be one fo the cast members spoke to Yahoo!Lifestyle and claimed it was a possibility that with Lucinda's professional success, she was just "too busy" for her friends.
It was reported that Timothy was seeing fellow contestant Andrea, who was initially paired with Richard in the experiment.
A video has circulated, that was taken by Andrea and then posted on a Married At First Sight gossip Instagram page.
In the video, Andrea was on the couch with her daughter watching the Final Vows episodes that had just aired in Australia.
“We’re watching Jack and Tori’s final vows, Indi and I,” Andrea said before she panned the camera to reveal Timothy asleep on her couch.
“With Timmy,” she said, “And, he’s so into it he’s fallen asleep. He’s that bored.”
However Andrea has now spoken out to put any rumours to rest, she clarified to New Idea, that she and Timothy are just “beautiful friends.”
“There's nothing romantic there,” she said. “I adore him, and he adores me." According to Andrea, Timothy had been “a rock” and making friends had been “the best part of the experiment.”
“The people with kind hearts found each other in the experiment which has been really special,” she finalised.
During Lucinda and Timothy's final Commitment Ceremony, the pair thanked each other for their support and even left the future of the relationship open-ended, vaguely suggesting they may get back together in the future.
On Instagram, Lucinda posted a photo of the two of them, captioning "Dear Timbo, That’s a wrap! What a blast! What I adore most about you Tim is your ability to bring laughter to those around you, even amidst your own pain and loss."Your bravery throughout our time together has been awesome! You opened up your vulnerable side, showing men everywhere that it's not okay to bottle it up!
"Despite your "Tin Man" facade, I see the enormous heart you carry. I'm incredibly proud of you, and I'm sure your mum Varee and brother Dave would be too, looking down on you from up above.
"You've shown true courage and authenticity & you’re a legend. Too many men suffer in silence, and it's time we changed that paradigm. We need to celebrate men who are open-hearted and willing to show their emotions. That’s the new SEXY!"
