Where are the MAFS Season 12 stars now?
Tori, 29, and Jack, 35, first met on Season 11 of Married At First Sight.
The pair hit it off at their wedding, but it's no secret that their relationship was far from perfect throughout the experiment.
Early on, Jack declared that there was no "sexual spark" between them, which caused their sex life to become one of the experiment's biggest talking points.
They also faced scrutiny from the other participants who did not believe their relationship was real.
Jack's words during the experiment about his co-stars – from the 'muzzle' comment, followed by a 'whale' comment – made him one of the most controversial grooms of the season, and many doubted their romance would last.

But despite it all, they stuck by each other and continued their relationship after Final Vows with Tori moving from Melbourne to the Gold Coast to be with Jack.
"It was a difficult move, especially leaving behind all my family in Melbourne," Tori told 9Entertainment in January 2025.

"But it was something I had to do to continue building this beautiful, loving relationship with Jack. We've been living together for just over a year now.
"We're still having fun and figuring out what's next. This year is all about locking in, saving money, and just focusing on us."
