Sara, 29, and Tim, 31, met for the first time on Married At First Sight Australia and they've had a pretty up and down romance, leaving many questioning if they could have ever lasted and still be in a relationship now.

The nutritionist from New South Wales and the online business owner from Queensland looked to be the perfect match on paper, both having a connection to Columbia and sharing in mutual heartbreak from previous relationships.

While Sara and Tim were instantly taken with one another, the pair have faced some difficult hurdles throughout the experiment; including a very awkward best man's speech, cheating accusations and the revelation that Tim was thinking of dumping Sara before their final vows.

With all these ups and downs, viewers of MAFS Australia are bound to be asking whether Tim and Sara are still together now, especially since Tim has reportedly been seen kissing someone else. Here's what we know about the status of their relationship now.

Are Sara and Tim still together now?

MAFS Australia stars Sara and Tim are no longer in a relationship.

Following their dramatic reunion episode, Sara confirmed that the pair had split, telling 9Entertainment: "We broke up a month after the Reunion.

"We didn't speak for a little while after, it was hard for us both but a few months down the track we started talking again.

"We're definitely friends now, we are very amicable. It's been good to be on good terms because we went through this crazy ride together."

Since the show ceased filming Tim has started dating a woman named Barbara whom he met prior to the show. There are also rumours that Sara could be getting to know fellow MAFS star Tristan Black, 30, however neither party have confirmed or denied the accusations.

Here's a look at Tim and Sara's time on MAFS Australia:

Wedding day

Sara and Tim had an instant connection when they met on their wedding day, however, their romance quickly soured after Tim admitted to his wife that he had recently broken up with his ex-girlfriend who he was planning to propose to, adding to Sara that he "needed her help", which she took to mean he needed help getting over his ex.

Sara and Tim's disastrous reception only got worse when the best man, Ben, stood up to give his controversial speech which was labelled "derogatory" and "disgusting."

The couple decided to start fresh on their honeymoon in Fiji, and appeared to be getting on well before Tim's comment that Sara "needs to relax" left her furious, resulting in her storming away from the date.

Cancelled dates drama

The pair appeared to have turned over a new leaf as they moved into the apartments, however, this did not last long when Sara refused to show Tim the contents of her phone during a trust task set by the experts.

Things went from bad to worse when Sara cancelled three dates with husband Tim, with the couple going head-to-head in an explosive dinner party argument.

At the following commitment ceremony, the experts held Sara accountable for her attitude towards Tim and the pair decided to go into the halfway week with a new outlook on their romance.

Cheating scandal

However things take a turn for the worse when Eden reveals that Sara has been texting and meeting up with her ex-boyfriend, behind Tim's back.

Whilst Eden and Sara's friendship was in the gutter, the bride was fighting for her relationship with Tim to survive.

Final vows

As the show came to an end, Tim and Sara's relationship appeared to be stronger than ever which was proven when they both decided to stick together at final vows.

Happy with how far they'd come, they were keen to take their romance into the real world and see what happened.

Reunion

Despite entering the reunion as a united couple, Sara and Tim's relationship hit the rocks when Jono revealed Tim was close to dumping her during their final vows, leading to a massive blow up between the two.

It seems like their bond was irrevocably broken from this point and the pair decided to part ways shorty after leaving the experiment.
