Married At First Sight Australia's Lucinda and Timothy have had one of the most up-and-down relationships on MAFS season 11, and while their relationship saw huge improvements, they decided during the most recent commitment ceremony to end the experiment as friends.

The 43-year-old wedding celebrant and 51-year-old business owner had a promising start to their marriage, however, Tim's struggles to open up and the pair's lack of intimacy have caused issues for the couple throughout the series. During the couples' retreat, the pair became closer after having a breakthrough which saw Timothy breakdown in tears over his heartbreaking family loss, allowing his wife to support him.

It seems this wasn't enough, however, and after the home-stay forced the pair further apart, with Lucinda admitting to feeling "rejected", they called it quits. During a the dramatic reunion episode, the pair did give us a hint of hope after they suggested they could get back together in the future. However a spanner has been thrown in the works as Timothy may have found a connection with fellow MAFS Australia star Andrea after the pair were pictured together.

Are Lucinda and Timothy still together?

No, Lucinda and Timothy are no longer together having decided to end their relationship and their time on MAFS at the final commitment ceremony, just days before final vows.

While the pair had made huge steps in recent weeks - with Tim opening up to his new wife about his grief - the home-stay part of the experiment highlighted the big issues between them.

Lucinda said she felt "rejected" by Timothy during this time as he made it clear to her he wanted space and to be alone, before going out for the evening with his friends.

At the last commitment ceremony, Lucinda and Timothy revealed that they had agreed to leave the experiment as friends before adding: "I know for a fact that we'll always be in each other's lives".

Lucinda and Timothy's wedding day

Timothy and Lucinda's wedding day on MAFS Australia was quite eventful. To mark this momentous occasion, Lucinda decides to conduct an interesting ceremony involving a bird's wing at the alter.

However before Timothy has the opportunity to respond to what is happening around him, the rain hampers this exciting moment.

Luckily the downpour eventually came to an end and Timothy and Lucinda were able to say 'I do' and complete their vows.

Timothy opens up to Lucinda on their honeymoon

The newlyweds head on their honeymoon and bond over their shared sense of humour. However things become deeper between the two when the Honeymoon box arrives and Timothy is forced to confront his feelings.

Before opening the box, Timothy explained his difficulties around sharing his emotions, stating: "I find it incredibly tough... So this is my worst nightmare."

Facing his fears, Timothy then opened up to Lucinda about not wanting to be alone after he revealed his brother, mother and father have all passed away.

The groom emotionally confessed: "I wanted to be able to phone somebody, and I didn't and couldn't. I just went, 'I am alone'."

Lucinda and Timothy struggle with intimacy

Despite their emotional connection growing, Timothy admitted that he did not immediately want to be intimate with Lucinda.

During one tense conversation, Lucinda confronted Timothy on his feelings, however this left relations between the two at an all time low. The bride asked her groom what actions he was planning on taking to develop their connection, but this only made things worse, with Timothy responding: "I feel like I'm talking to a fourth expert. I'm getting pulled across the poles by you and by John and now I'm done, I'm actually done filming."

Timothy and Lucinda meet each other's family

Despite their awkward feelings for one another, the pair continued to stay in the experiment and eventually met each others family and friends.

Upon being introduced to Lucinda's parents Michael and Susan, Timothy is told by his father-in-law that he should give intimacy with Lucinda a chance.

Michael said: "We'd love to see a bit more action on your behalf. It could be a one night stand, it could be anything but just try it."

After this very candid chat, Timothy managed to see the errors of his ways, stating: "The chat with Michael has made me realise that I've been a bit of a d*******. Lucinda deserves more."

Lucinda and Timothy connect at the couples' retreat

At the couples' retreat, Timothy allowed himself to be vulnerable with Lucinda when he broke down in tears.

The groom admitted he was in a bad place after a card game earlier in the day caused him to think about the loss of his mother, father and brother.

"I was feeling great but it seemed to turn to s--t so quickly when we were playing that game this afternoon," he told Lucinda.

In a heartfelt conversation, Lucinda told Tim she thought he was "so brave," which caused him to breakdown and leave the room in tears as he admitted: "I actually can't do this."

Later, however, he returned to the room and embraced Lucinda in an emotional moment, telling the cameras: "I know Lucinda doesn't think I'm weak because I show emotion. Lucinda's a rock."

The bride told the producers: "I've never seen that side of Tim. I just feel like so many walls came down."

Tim and Lucinda call it quits after home-stays

After home-stays revealed the issues in their relationship, Timothy and Lucinda came to the final commitment ceremony having made the decision to leave the experiment as friends.
