Liam and Samuel's MAFS journeys
Liam was the first bisexual groom on MAFS and was matched with Georgia Fairweather during Season 8 in 2020.
During a dramatic Final Vows, he decided not to continue their relationship and ended up meeting Samuel after the experiment.
Samuel appeared on the New Zealand edition of the show and was partnered with his on-screen husband Tayler Morgan but announced their split shortly after the experiment in 2019.

Liam and Samuel's break up
In April 2023, Liam and Samuel took to Instagram to announce they'd called it quits. At the time they'd been together for more than two years.
"This is going to be a shock for man, as much as it has been for ourselves, and a sad day," Liam's message began.
"But myself and Samuel would like to let you all know we will be taking a break on our relationship and not moving forward as a 'couple' for now."
Both Liam and Samuel issued almost identical statements following the split in April 2023. Instagram
Both Liam and Samuel said they believed that because they entered the relationship "very publicly and in the public" eye it was only right to be "transparent" with their fans and followers.
"We are best friends, soul mates and will remain doing life together and everything else including living together," Liam wrote.
"But we are using this time to find each other again and who knows what the future will hold."
Liam and Samuel's break up was very amicable with the pair still living together after. Instagram
Samuel posted an almost identical message which shared the same sentiment as Liam's.
Even though the pair had split, it was clear there were hopes of a relationship rekindling.
"We both love one another immensely and that will never change and we hope we can reassess this when the time is right," Samuel wrote.
The sudden news came as surprise to many as Liam and Samuel enjoyed a tropical Bali holiday together just weeks before the split.
