Married at First Sight UK 2023 started with a bang for Tasha and Paul who proved to their families, cast mates and viewers that they are a great match.

Tasha and Paul got married at the start of the experiment but it didn’t get off to the best start after Paul’s mum shared her concerns about the situation, telling her son she wanted to meet his bride first.

Once they’d got past the first hurdle, their love story blossomed and they were soon on the way to saying 'I love you. In the reunion, it was revealed that they'd finally dropped the all-important L-word.

However, the couple have now sadly confirmed their split. During the 2025 reunion, the two entered the room separately with people immediately questioning Tasha why she wasn't with Paul. Here's what happened...

Why did Tasha and Paul split?

Sadly, Tasha and Paul confirmed their break up in November 2024. Explaining why they broke up, Tasha wrote on Instagram:

"It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing that Paul and I have decided to part ways. There isn’t any major reason, we have just come to terms with the fact that we are not right for each other."

Paul is the loveliest guy I’ve ever met and I’m grateful for the time we’ve shared together and I’m that we can remain friends. I’m utterly heartbroken that I’m heaving to write this post, but it is best for both of us."

Thank you to everyone who has supported us as a couple. I hope you can now support us on our individual journeys. Love you all Tasha Jay x."

Paul also commented on the break up, explaining that it came down to the distance between them, as he didn't want to leave London to move north to live with her.

Speaking at an event (per Daily Mail), he said: "I'm doing alright, but it was tough [...] But we're on good terms, and I'm enjoying life right now."

He continued: "My issue was figuring out if Tasha was the right person to move up North for. I'd say if we lived in London it might be easier, but to sacrifice my life and drop everything for her is a big move, and I just wasn't sure about it. And that was the issue."

"Tasha is extremely close with her family. She has all her nephews and nieces, which she loves," he said. "I had my family and my friends, and I'm always busy with boxing. I think if there was a middle ground, but we just couldn't figure it out, which was kind of sad."

Just months before their split, Tasha told Grazia at the BAFTA TV awards how she felt like they'd won as they were the only remaining couple from the 2023 season to still be together.

"I feel like we won. We're the only OG couple still together. Obviously Matt and Shona are together, they're such a good couple. But we won! We did it."

Matt and Shona where originally on the show with different partners but ended up getting together after the series. They're not the only remaining couple from Married at First Sight UK season eight still together.
