Another season of Married at First Sight is blessedly coming to a close this week, and after months of drama, Dinner Party meltdowns, and rollercoaster relationships, we’re not too proud to admit that we’re looking forward to finally getting our lives back. But as we careen towards the final vows and the inevitable news stories to emerge once the season officially wraps, there’s one thing firmly on our minds: which MAFS 2026 couples are still together?
Specifically, we’re all wondering whether Alissa and David have made it out of the experiment together, and whether they’re still together now that filming has wrapped. Ahead of the final Dinner Party on April 6, it seemed the pair might be over after handing back their wedding rings following a big fight. But then, David shocked everyone when he got down on one knee and proposed to Alissa (again), in an apparent callback to their rocky wedding day.
“I want you to know how much you mean to me,” he told his wife during the cocktail party, eliciting gasps and shock from their fellow MAFS contestants. When speaking to nine.com.au later, he explained why he felt compelled to make such a big move. “For me, I was just saying, ‘Last time you asked me to do it to prove how I felt, and this time I’m just going to do it voluntarily to prove that I’m here for the right reasons’,” David said. “From my perspective, I started to make excuses and think maybe she needed reassurance, so I did get down on my knee again just to give her that.”
Unfortunately, Alissa’s response wasn’t the emphatic yes he had hoped for, simply saying “thank you”. Cue shock and face palms from the experts. Looking back now, David admits that he can see that Alissa was already checked out of the relationship. “At that dinner party, I got no empathy. That was probably the hardest night for me in the experiment, and that’s when I got my full answer as to where things were heading,” he told the publication. “That Dinner Party showed me exactly what I was dealing with.”
So, are they together now?
