Married At First Sight UK fan favourites confirm split after two years

A popular couple from the 2021 series of Married at First Sight UK have confirmed their break up after two years together. Matt and Dan, who were the first gay couple on the show, found love and overcame difficulties in their marriage like their age difference and living in two totally different parts of the UK.

The pair have now confirmed the split and say they are "better as friends". Posting a lengthy statement to both their Instagrams, they said: "As you all know, we have been on an incredible adventure together the last two years and we have given ourselves every opportunity to make things work as a couple, but over the last few months we have realised that we are actually better as friends."

They added: "Break ups are never easy, even when amicable, but we can’t thank you enough for your support and kindness following our journey together. There’s nothing but love and good energy between us, and we feel very lucky to have found each other in our lives. Just sadly not as a couple! And although we are parting ways, we will always continue to support one another."
