Married at First Sight Australia Season 12 Concludes: Key Takeaways and Updates
The twelfth season of Married at First Sight Australia culminated with its finale airing on March 31, 2025, drawing the curtain on the journey of ten adventurous couples. This social experiment, featuring twenty singles united through legally non-binding marriages, was expertly guided by relationship specialists John Aiken, Mel Schilling, and Alessandra Rampolla.
While each couple entered the series with the hope of discovering lasting love, the end of the season revealed that only a few managed to remain together. Viewers witnessed various twists, including mid-season exits and some contestants finding new romantic connections, all amidst the pressures of a televised commitment.
Couples Who Made It: The Season’s Success Stories
Among the season’s participants, three couples emerged as notable success stories:
- Rhi and Jeff
- Jacqui and Clint (who formed their bond post-show)
- Jamie and Dave
Interestingly, Jamie and Dave’s relationship has not been publicly confirmed beyond the show, adding an element of intrigue to their story.
Rhi and Jeff: A Love That Endures
Rhi and Jeff emerged as one of the few confirmed couples from the season, demonstrating steady growth in their relationship throughout the experiment. By the time they expressed their final vows, both opted to stay together, solidifying their bond.
In episode 31, a significant moment occurred when Jeff handed Rhi a key to his home. Expressing her feelings to the cameras, Rhi stated:
“The fact that Jeff gave me a key does make me feel really good.”
Rhi expressed appreciation for Jeff’s grounded nature and his open communication, particularly during challenging moments. The following day, April 1, 2025, Jeff celebrated their relationship on Instagram by sharing a joyous picture from their wedding celebration, remarking in his caption:
“Easiest decision of my life.”
Fan reactions were overwhelmingly positive, with many extending congratulations in the comments. While Rhi and Jeff have maintained a level of privacy regarding their daily lives, their public appearances together suggest a on-going and stable relationship. Thus far, they appear to be the only original couple from Season 12 with a confirmed ongoing commitment.
Jacqui and Clint: A New Beginning
Jacqui’s journey took an unexpected turn when her original pairing with Ryan faced significant challenges. Ryan’s remarks during group discussions, where he expressed that Jacqui was not his usual type and made jokes some viewed as derogatory, contributed to their separation by the time of the final vows.
However, after the show, Jacqui found new love with Clint. Initially, Clint was part of the experiment through a recoupling twist, having started with another participant, Veronica. Off-camera, Clint and Jacqui connected and have since been spotted together.
Reports from Hello! magazine indicate that the two were recently seen hiking in Tasmania, solidifying the notion that they are indeed dating.
Jamie and Dave: The Uncertain Future
Jamie and Dave also left the show together during the Final Vows. However, there have been no definitive updates regarding the status of their relationship since the finale. While they continue to follow one another on Instagram, both have refrained from sharing pictures or detailed insights into their post-show lives.
