Season 12 of Married at First Sight Australia has well and truly made for some a draw-dropping watching. From couples that already knew each other to friendship breakdowns and the return of a dumped bride (as well as her runaway groom), the season’s had it all. 

One of MAFS 2025’s most watched contestants has been Lauren Hall, whose “traditional values” caused a stir with some viewers when she was introduced in the premiere episode. Lauren was stoked that she’d been paired with a super-duper-hyper manly man in Eliot Donovan, and they actually seemed like a pretty well-suited match… until he peaced out of the experiment during their honeymoon.

Lucky for Lauren, she would have one more shot at stirring the pot—sorry, finding love. Lauren was one of the intruder brides who entered the experiment at the half-way point. This time, she was matched with professional golfer Clint Rice. While their on-screen relationship hasn’t been perfect, it *has* lasted longer than her romance with Eliot. 

This has us all wondering if the duo will go the distance. A few little leaks have escaped the experiment… so scroll on for everything we know about whether MAFS Australia’s Lauren and Clint are still together?

Are MAFS' Lauren & Clint Still Together?

While Lauren and Clint are still together on the show, their romance wasn’t one for the long haul.

How do we know this, you ask? Well, because Clint is dating fellow bride, Jacqui Burfoot, ofc!

Yuh, ICYMI: Jacqui went rogue on social media around half-way through season 12 and dropped a *heap* of bombshells about her experience on MAFS. Among the revelations, she told fans she is currently dating Clint—which also confirmed her relationship with Ryan Donnelly is donezo.

What Happened Between Lauren & Clint on MAFS?

Lauren and Clint have been one of the more controversial couples on MAFS 2025.

They have come up against several challenges throughout the experiment, with tensions reaching a boiling point during the couple’s retreat. After a fight between the brides unravelled into a spat between the whole group, with Lauren and Clint being called out by several other contestants, they hoped to leave.

“We even looked into getting a helicopter to take us out of there,” Clint told Daily Mail Australia. “That’s how badly we wanted to leave.”

They *didn’t* end up leaving. However, Lauren and Clint did boycott the following dinner party.
