Which MAFS couples are still together?
With 11 seasons under its belt, the MAFS experiment has produced some long lasting couples that are still together today.
From Season 11, Jade Pywell and Ridge Barredo hit of off immediately and are still happier than ever today.
Meanwhile, despite having one of the most controversial relationships in MAFS history, Jack Dunkley and Tori Adams had the "last laugh" when they returned to the Reunion stronger than ever.
Throughout the experiment they'd hit a number of roadblocks. In week one they faced rumours surrounding Jack's ex-girlfriend, then there was the 'muzzle' comment, followed by a 'whale' comment, not to mention the constant question of Jack's sexual attraction to Tori.

But they've come out the other side of it all and even made the huge step of moving in together with Tori moving her life from Melbourne to the Gold Coast to be with Jack.
While they weren't paired together initially, Ellie Dix and Jono McCullough found love after splitting from their partners on-screen and have moved in together and started a business.
