Erin Bateman and Bryce Mohr: Still together
Erin Bateman and Bryce Mohr, who appeared on the reality dating show in season two, are the only couple from Channel Nine’s social experiment still together. The couple celebrated their three-year anniversary together in November last year, and the lovebirds are keen to enter the next chapter of their relationship as they’re planning to move in together and have a real wedding – and babies are also on the agenda!
Tracey Jewel and Sean Thomsen: Not together
The formerly loved-up duo was caught holidaying in Bali together before the ‘big reveal’ during the second-last episode, which were still not over tbh. The couple only lasted several months following the show.
Ashley Irvin and Ryan Gallagher: Not together
It was the surprising couple that no one saw coming, but turns out they were never actually a couple. Ashley and Ryan were photographed together following the series finale, though he quickly told reporters the pair were “just friends.”
Melissa Walsh and John Robertson: Not together
The 1.5 hour travel distance between the couple eventually led to John and Melissa parting ways. Melissa is now engaged to somebody else.
Troy Delmege and Carly Bowyer: Not together
They ditched their partners and found love in a hopeless place…kissing in the park for all to see! The couple were very much in love, and despite consistently posting loved-up pictures for the months following the series, Troy and Carly ended up parting ways. They still do catch up regularly though!
Sarah Roza and Telv Williams: Not together
This was the big one. There were so many conflicting reports about their relationship status, so we’ll keep things simple. Ryan Gallagher told OK! Magazine that the couple were not together. “They’ve both got their demons. He’s in Melbourne now, but they’re not together,” he said. “They’re still talking and they’re civil to one another, but they’ve got a lot of baggage between them…I don’t think they see eye-to-eye on a lot of things.”
Before Ryan’s statement, it was unclear what was happening between the pair. Some leaked emails and a few Instagram comments hinted that there was be trouble in paradise between the two (read in full here), and it was eventually confirmed that they had broken up.
Charlene Perera and Pat Miller: Not Together
In the final episode the couple revealed they hadn’t seen each other in the six weeks since the commitment ceremony. Despite posing together as friends and sharing cute photos, as per Troy’s radio interview, it seems the split is permanent.
