Married At First Sight Australia\u2019s Steven Danyluk has broken his silence on his current relationship with Rachel Gilmore after the pair split weeks after Final Vows.<\/p>\n

Aside from Stella Mickunaite<\/a> and Filip Gregov<\/a>, Rachel Gilmore<\/a> and Steven Danyluk<\/a> were the only Married At First Sight<\/a> Australia couple to leave Final Vows hand-in-hand. However, their romance came to an abrupt end<\/a> weeks later. Now Steven has provided an official update on where they stand today.<\/p>\n

Rachel and Steven<\/a> seemed better than ever at Final Vows – they left the experiment together and become boyfriend and girlfriend but things came crashing down weeks later.<\/p>\n

When Steven visited Rachel in Melbourne, he heartbreakingly told her that he didn\u2019t believe he was the man she needed him to be and that she should find someone else.<\/p>\n

Now, that some time has passed and they’ve adjusted to single life again, Steven has revealed if they still have a friendship or any relationship at all.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Chattr<\/a> at the MAFS after party, Steven discussed his current status with ex Rachel. He said: “We’re good friends, we’re cordial, everything is good. We still talk almost every day and we’re working with each other to get through this.”<\/p>\n

He added: “Watching it back has been an experience, very emotional.”<\/p>\n

Despite being split for many months, Danny admitted that he still wonders “what if” sometimes. However, Rachel has shut down any hopes of a reconciliation. He explained: “That ship has most likely sailed which sucks, had my chance though.”<\/p>\n

Rachel doubled down on this in a recent Instagram Q&A where she answered a question about whether she and Steven were back together. She said: “No. Steven and I are not back together. Apparently he proposed, I had a few questions about that last night in my DMs.”<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Rachel admitted that she has the “upmost respect and care” for Steven but she made clear that they won’t be getting back together. <\/p>\n

In another interview<\/a>, Steven revealed that, when he left MAFS and got back to his real life, he realised he didn\u2019t have time for a relationship. He said: “We spoke every single day. However, I did have a little bit of a mess with my business because I just left it stagnant for three months. <\/p>\n

“Coming into the busy season, I sort of dove headfirst into it going, ‘alright, I’ve got to get my finances underway’.”<\/p>\n

It was during his trip to Melbourne to visit Rachel that Steven realised he “can’t give Rachel what she needs”, and, as a result, ended things. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Rachel argued that Steven “wasn\u2019t ready for a relationship” and was unwilling to adapt his life for her. <\/p>\n
