Alongside two selfies of the pair, he wrote: “Unfortunately, we couldn’t make it work outside of the experiment.
“Without outside influences I think we could have been an amazing couple but that wasn’t to be… maybe in the next lifetime hey.
“Alana is every bit the amazing woman Australia has seen and she deserves all the love and happiness in the world. As much as I wanted to give her that happiness I couldn’t. I’ll always have a place for you in my heart… Later crit.”
Commenting on the snaps, one person wrote: “You guys should try a secret relationship, outside the media pressure!!😍”
Someone else said: “So sad you and Alannah didn't make it. As someone that has been happily in love for over 33 years it's sad to see the couples who seemed to be OK not to work out. I wish you do find your love soon.”
A third wrote: “Omgggg!!! @alana.lister You guys are so cute together…”
Jason later went on to date fellow MAFS star KC Osborne who appeared in the seventh series of the show.
But the pair broke up after a few months, with KC going on to star on Ex On The Beach.
When asked why they called things quits, he told his Instagram followers: "No, KC and I aren’t together. I’m not trying to get into details of why.
"She said something about alignment; she’s gone far left, I’ve gone far right.
"No, we don’t really talk, not really that friendly with each other anymore, unfortunately.
"Is it because she’s going on a dating show? Possibly. I don’t know if she’s even going on it."
