The weddings are in full swing on MAFS UK, with tonight’s new episode of season 10 showcasing the wedding of Nelly and Steven, who have gotten off to a flying start to their marriage, but are they still together?
Neelima aka Nelly, 30, and Steven, 34, are the fourth couple to get married on this year’s series of the dating show. In the series, a panel of experts match up singles and the couples getting married meet for the first time on their wedding day, as they reach the end of the altar. After saying “I do” they then embark on their marriage, going on a honeymoon, before moving in together and spending time with their friends and family.
At the end of the experiment they must then decide if they want to continue with their marriage outside of the show with a final commitment ceremony. So will Nelly and Steven make it? Here’s what we know so far.

What’s happened with Nelly and Steven on MAFS UK so far?
30-year-old dentist Nelly is looking for a guy who is in her own words “completely obsessed” with her and someone who is also career and family orientated. Having seen her own parents’ loving arranged marriage, Nelly is hopeful she can meet someone who she’ll also have a strong bond with.
Enter: Steven, a 34-year-old former footballer turned investment banking manager. Steven has two children from a previous relationship and is looking for someone to complete his family.
On their wedding day, the pair are both nervous to meet their new spouse and Nelly goes above and beyond with perhaps the most iconic entrance in MAFS UK history as she arrives down the aisle carried on a large doli adorned in flowers. Before meeting Steven, Nelly is nervous to see how he’ll react to her entrance, but thankfully he’s very impressed and loves it, saying “wow” as she descends from the doli.

The pair are instantly smitten and happy with the appearance of each other, with Nelly remarking how tall Steven is, and Steven saying to a beaming Nelly “what an entrance”. Steven then said to producers he was “feeling” Nelly and liked the smile she gave him. They then shared their romantic vows and kissed on the lips after exchanging their vows.
Their wedding breakfast went off without a hitch, and despite putting off telling Nelly about his two children throughout the evening, Steven then does tell Nelly about his son and daughter, and she’s receptive and warm to him opening up.
In the teaser for tomorrow night’s episode it seems like they’re going from strength to strength on their honeymoon.
Are Nelly and Steven on MAFS UK still together?
Right now, it’s too early to say for sure what the future holds for Steven and Nelly, however, given how well their wedding day went, we’re really keeping our dingers crossed the future is bright for these two.
The pair follow each other on Instagram so we’re taking that as a sign that things are hopefully good between them.
