The exes appeared to be well-matched on the reality series.

"They were both sad it didn't work out, but sadly it wasn't meant to be.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.'
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?'
'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.'
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
"It's also a big blow for fans who were really invested in their relationship."
"They were widely viewed as the strongest couple of the series so the news that they are no longer an item is such a shame."
The shock split comes after it was revealed

She has previously denied "faking" her connection with Nathan.
Lacey has revealed the "real reason" she split from Nathan which she claims was edited out of a reunion episode.
Lacey claimed Nathan refused to wish her luck for her Race For Life run last summer.
The star said it was the final straw as she hit out at Nathan for "not taking accountability" for letting her down when she needed him.

Lacey exclusively told The Sun: 'In the scenes that were cut I told Nathan 'we didn't split up because of messages'. It's not the reason we split up.
"I messaged him saying that maybe we should just be friends if he couldn't wish me luck on what was a really important day for me.
'I was shocked and hurt and told him I'd never do that to him.
"He knows how important the Race For Life was for me, he didn't take accountability for not wishing me luck."
