On March 11, 2025, Married at First Sight Australia aired its 27th episode of Season 12. This episode featured a considerable reunion where cast members reconnected with their original partners after spending three days with a different spouse. The aim was to provide fresh insights into their relationships. During this period, each participant penned “honesty letters”to their partners, expressing their thoughts and feelings about them, which they subsequently shared aloud.
Jacqui’s Candid Letter to Ryan
Among the revelations, Jacqui’s letter regarding Ryan sparked significant reactions. In her correspondence, she criticized Ryan for being set in his “own ways and beliefs.”The letter addressed his strict views on masculinity and gender roles, and even questioned his financial competence, implying doubts about his ability to contribute meaningfully to their household.
Ryan reacted defensively to Jacqui’s observations, expressing confusion over her conclusions. He was particularly unsettled by the fact that she wrote the letter while residing with co-star Jeff. Despite his disapproval, Jacqui remained steadfast in her opinions.
Fan Reactions on Social Media
Fans of Married at First Sight Australia took to X to voice their thoughts on Jacqui’s candid input. Many credited her with hitting the nail on the head regarding Ryan’s character.
“Jacqui’s letter to Ryan is solid gold and accurate,”a fan wrote.
“Jacqui burying hers and Ryan’s relationship with her confession letter,”another fan commented.
“Jacqui spitting facts and real concerns and Ryan being a total s**ist. I hate this man with a passion,”a netizen tweeted.
Many fans rallied behind Jacqui, praising her for her insightful observations:
“Okay she’s being a bit OTT but I can’t help but agree with everything Jacqui is saying,”a user reacted.
“Why is Jacqui so right with her letter omg,”a person commented.
“Jacqui’s letter to Ryan is the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Go off queen,”another fan wrote.
“Jacqui trolling ‘warrior’ Ryan to his face and saying he has a ‘fragile ego’ is so beautiful it should be hung in The Lourve,”one user posted.
Concerns Over Gender Roles and Responsibilities
During a private moment with the cameras, Jacqui articulated her need for Ryan to recognize her expectations if he wanted to foster a healthier relationship. While spending time with Jeff, she felt valued in ways that Ryan had failed to deliver. In her letter, Jacqui expressed her “biggest fear”—that she would find herself married to someone rigid and unwilling to evolve. She took particular issue with what she viewed as Ryan’s outdated ideas surrounding masculinity and power dynamics.
“I’m concerned you need a submissive partner and would only work in a relationship with a tradwife, which is a term for traditional wife, who submits on everything,”the Married at First Sight star stated.
Jacqui was also worried about Ryan’s financial contributions, doubting his capability. She feared that she would assume the role of the primary breadwinner, a prospect that Ryan found objectionable.
Ryan’s Response: A Rejection of Stay-at-Home Fatherhood
As her honesty unfolded, Jacqui posed a critical question to Ryan: Would he consider being a stay-at-home father? His vehement response was that he had no intention of adopting that role.
“Being a stay-at-home dad is not what I’m going to do with my life. You know very well what I want to do with my life, and you know that being a stay-at-home dad is the most ridiculous thing. Can’t believe we’re even having this conversation,”Ryan said.
He emphasized his desire to “leave a legacy”through his career, adamantly rejecting any suggestion that he might prioritize family duties over professional ambitions.
