From the moment they saw each other walking down the aisle, Jamie and Dave looked set to become one of the more solid couples in this season of MAFS Australia.

In her intro, Jamie, 28, said her dream man was someone who was a "cross between David Beckham and someone who's done 20-to-life"...

Enter 6ft 6, tattooed builder and footy player Dave – described as "the big friendly giant" by expert John Aiken. The 36-year-old entered the experiment to find someone to connect with and have fun, and it looks like he may have found it in Jamie.

Are Jamie and Dave still together after MAFS Australia filming?

Jamie and Dave made it all the way to Final Vows and Dave committed to a future with his MAFS wife after being unsure on his feelings. However, after filming things didn't end up working out.

A source told Yahoo! Dave actually ended up calling off their relationship. "Dave still wasn't as into it as Jamie was, and once they got home, he started to pull away," one source said.

Another added: "Dave regrets how things ended between them as he's now seen how popular Jamie is and doesn't want to be hated."

While the show was still airing, Jamie made it her mission to not reveal what happened between her and Dave to avoid spoilers, but she did say she thought he wasn't on the show for the right reasons.

This came after Dave said "I don't hate the girl," to producers after she'd told him she loved him. Talking to Yahoo! Jamie said: "At that moment in time, I don't believe he was there for the right reasons, because of what was shown to me.

"That's how I felt in that moment because I didn't understand how you could flip the script. And it just felt like to me, in that moment, his mask had fallen off and I was essentially just his meal ticket or something."

"I couldn't understand, because I was like, how do you go from warm, fuzzy feelings to, 'I don't hate the girl', I felt like that was really hard to watch back as well, and seeing the full scope of what was going through his mind," she added.

Once the show had finished airing in Australia, Jamie revealed she and Dave are no longer on talking terms. Speaking to podcast host Carly Portch, Jamie said: "Dave doesn't deserve to have access to me, I'm sorry."

"I tried so hard to maintain a friendship and I guess that was what was always pushed to me, like, 'I really care about our bonds and our friendship.'

"But at the same time, like, you know, Dave put me through a lot on the experiment and watching it back is really difficult. [I] can't excuse certain behaviours but at the same time, I can understand someone might not have been the best headspace, people make mistakes.

"However, I look at how, like, what your actions and your words are now when you've had time to reflect. And unfortunately, I don't truly think he'll ever understand what he put me through."

Why did Dave from MAFS Australia split with Jamie?

Dave has said his feelings for Jamie began to change after a tough visit home.

"It was cut out but I’d actually actually had a couch session before that one where I broke down and cried, because I was worried about my feelings not progressing. It was because of what was going on with my dad back at home," he said.

The MAFS star candidly revealed: "They didn’t show that but I did communicate it all, but it came across as ‘Dave has done a backflip on his emotions'.

"But it was after the retreat that his chemotherapy was really affecting him and I addressed the situation and said ‘I’m worried that my feelings aren’t there yet with Jamie because of what’s going on at home.’

“I was definitely in two places...it made it hard to enjoy myself.”
