Married At First Sight Australia season 11 delivered one of the strongest couples of all time - Jayden and Eden - whose relationship only went from strength to strength during the series, leaving many viewers to believe they would be together for forever.

But despite their instant connection, there were cracks in their partnership after Eden made a very awkward confession in the early part of the series which left viewers (and Eden) shocked. Things also took a turn when the groom was criticised for failing to understand Eden's feelings.

However, the couple worked through their issues together and decided to stay together during their final vows. The couple also showed up to the reunion together, however they announced their split shortly after the series finished airing.

Are Jayden and Eden still together?

Unfortunately, Jayden and Eden confirmed in early April they had split after remaining together for almost eight months.

In an emotional Instagram statement, Eden wrote: "I’m saddened to share that toward the end of the show airing, our relationship came to an unexpected end. The ‘reality’ is, the person I chose didn’t choose me. Whilst I’m disappointed, I will never regret the experiment, the people I met, the lessons I learnt and the growth this process has had on me.

"Thank you for supporting us and for also wishing for the same fairytale that I had hoped for."

After a romantic final vows ceremony, Jayden and Eden decided to remain in a relationship and seem to be going from strength to strength.

Following their split, Eden has secured herself a contract with a top talent manager to help her become a successful influencer and remained out of any post-MAFS drama with the rest of the cast.

Jayden has also committed back fully to his kickboxing career which has seen him compete in Dubai in 2024.

Jayden and Eden's wedding day

Jayden and Eden were instantly smitten with one another when they meet for the first time on their wedding day. During their MAFS wedding day Jayden told the cameras: "She is definitely my type," while Eden added: "I think my grin says it all. He's tall and handsome, he's so stunning."

Later on, however, Jayden began to doubt his connection with his new wife and questioned whether she feels the same way as he does. During a private chat on their wedding day, Eden reassured him: "I would sum up today as perfect. It was 10 out of 10."

Jayden's shocking confession to Eden

After a perfect honeymoon and smooth-sailing as they moved into the MAFS apartments, Jayden and Eden faced their first hurdle during honesty week.

As part of a task, Jayden revealed to Eden that after his ex-girlfriend cheated on him he told her the only way they would be able to get back together was if he could sleep with one of her friends - while she watched. And, yes, it happened.

Eden, whose ex-boyfriend cheated on her with her lifelong friend, was understandably triggered by the admission and left the apartment to seek advice from fellow bride Sara.

When the pair came back together, Eden was even more shocked when Jayden told her he has "no regrets" around this event. She told him: "I don't know why you'd come up with that as a solution, it just blows my mind."

Jayden seemed deflated that he upset his wife, telling the cameras: "I honestly don't know if she can forgive this."

Jayden and Eden grow stronger

Following the shocking admission from Jayden and the fallout which came afterwards, the couple continued to grow closer and soon became one of the strongest couples in the experiment.

During the following commitment ceremonies, the couple shared their affection towards one another, with Jayden confessing at one point: "I'm head-over-heels, I've never felt like this before."

Jayden and Eden's feelings don't match up

Despite being one of the strongest couples in the experiment, Jayden and Eden do admit to being on different pages during a commitment ceremony.

When asked by the experts where their feelings are on a scale of 1 - 10, Eden says seven while Jayden says 9.5.

Despite this, the pair agree they will be staying in the experiment until they are both 10/10.

Jayden and Eden's final vows

Despite a tough end to the MAFS experiment, where experts called Jayden out for his communication style, it was a no brainer for these two to choose to stay together after the show during final vows. They also were united at the reunion episodes set to air in the UK next week.

However, just before the show completely finished airing in Australia and the UK, Eden and Jayden confirmed on social media they were no longer together.

He wrote: "However, unfortunately, our relationship ended not long before the end of the experiment airing. As sad as it is, I’m so glad I got to go through this with such an amazing woman and a beautiful son. You will both always have a second family on the Gold Coast."
