Married At First Sight UK couple in shock SPLIT after year-long romance
ANOTHER Married At First Sight UK couple have split after a year-long romance.
Tasha Jay and Paul Liba, who took part in last year’s series, have gone their separate ways.
Tasha took to Instagram to confirm the news.
She said: “It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing Paul and I have decided to part ways.
“There isn’t any major reason, we have just come to terms with the fact that we are not right for each other.
“Paul is the loveliest guy I’ve ever met and I’m grateful for the time we’ve shared together and I’m glad that we can remain friends.
“I’m utterly heartbroken that I’m having to write this post, but it is best for both of us.’
“Thank you to everyone who has supported us as a couple. I hope you can now support us on our individual journeys.”
Paul also took to his story to share the same statement.
The former couple were put together by experts on the E4 series last year.
There was an instant attraction between the two from the get go.
Although their journey on the show wasn’t always smooth, they opted to ‘stay’ at every commitment ceremony and made it to final vows.
One thing that came up a lot in conversation was the fact that the pair would have to do long distance, with Tasha up north and Luke down south.
Despite that, the pair made it work after the show ended and regularly shared loved-up snaps on social media.
Just two months ago, in an exclusive chat with The Sun, the two hinted that they wanted to tie the knot in a real ceremony – as the one on the show isn’t legally binding.
“I want another wedding,” Tasha said. “I’m waiting for my ring but that’s on Paul, so I’ll let Paul take that one.”
Paul added: “She’s ready. She’s really annoying me for the ring. And I said, ‘In good time,’ and she’ll definitely get it.
“I thought, you know what? If I’m legally married to someone, fingers crossed it’s someone I actually like, so even if I’m not properly married to Tasha, I would not have known. I could’ve saved money on another wedding.”
“When I first signed up to MAFS, I was fully committed to the whole process, thinking it was real.
In early 2024, Tasha and Paul revealed they would be moving in together, with the bride telling Grazia at the time: “Paul’s gonna move up north, he’s gonna be a northerner.”
Paul added: “I’m used to moving about in life so I’m looking forward to it.
“But up north, that’s the first time for me.
“I don’t know how I feel about it – the accents!”
Tasha and Paul were the remaining couple still together from MAFS 2023.
Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor are still going strong – however they weren’t originally coupled with each other.
Shona married Brad Skelley, meanwhile Matt tied the knot with Adrienne Naylor.
