Jacqui, 29, also revealed she was moving to Tasmania to be with professional golfer Clint, 43. and they're also starting a business together.

Then at a viewing of the Reunion on Sunday night, Clint even popped the question to Jacqui and she said yes!

To celebrate, we thought we'd take a trip down memory lane to how it all began for Jacqui and Clint.

Jacqui's first match on the experiment was Ryan, a self-proclaimed "warrior" who wanted to find someone intelligent and on his level.

The experts matched him with Jacqui, and things started... well, as chaotic as they ended up.

Jacqui and Ryan had a gorgeous wedding, but things unraveled when Ryan didn't offer his wife his jacket or "take the lead" down the aisle – leaving her in tears.

Then he infamously dropped her on the floor during their first dance, a topic which was brought up on many occasions during the experiment.

The couple continued to go from major highs to major lows on their journey.

From Ryan not putting Jacqui first in the Photo Ranking Challenge to an almighty row at Beth and Teejay's wedding, the couple had a rocky ride up to Final Vows.

Right before Final Vows, Jacqui told Ryan she had exchanged numbers with the man she was almost matched with during the Final Task – leaving him absolutely speechless.

When it came to Final Vows, theirs were some of the most explosive in history.

Ryan was unsure what decision to make, but in the end he walked away from the marriage.

"My heart is heavy with this decision. I will be walking away from this relationship. For that, and for saying you had crazy eyes... I am sorry," he said.

Jacqui's vows were a little more abrupt.

"Ryan, you're not perfect. It's not the 1920s anymore. I don't want to be the wife to a man, I want to be the wife to a husband. So today, I choose peace and to walk away from this relationship."

"Ryan, in a world of red flags, you are the red carpet," she concluded, before walking off.

Clint marries Lauren

Meanwhile, Clint was a late arrival to the experiment when he married his bride, Lauren, 37.

Four weeks before their wedding, Lauren, had already entered the experiment hoping to find a connection. Her first marriage to Eliot, however, imploded after three days.

With her guard up, she re-entered the experiment hoping it was "second time lucky" with Clint.

The couple got on immediately, and soon enough she realised he was a much better suitor than Eliot ever was.

But sadly, it didn't end well...

While there was no doubt Lauren and Clint got on, the bride felt there was no spark between them – particularly after The Retreat, where they got into a huge row with the rest of the participants.

After both deciding to 'leave' the experiment, the pair were "interested" in seeing if they would work outside the MAFS environment.

"Sure, I hope that it does blossom into something," Lauren said at the time. 

However, it wasn't until he got home and had time to himself that Clint had quite the realisation. 

"Reflecting on my time in the experiment and some of the behaviours that [Lauren] demonstrated, I was just like, 'You know what, I don't think this is my person'," he later told 9Entertainment.

"This is not someone I want to keep putting in, and doing everything I can, to make it work."

So they called it quits.

Jacqui and Clint confirm their romance at Reunion

After weeks of rumours, Australia's worst-kept secret turned out to be true – Jacqui and Clint were dating!

Prior to walking through the doors at the Reunion Dinner Party, the couple shared their news that they'd began talking after her Final Vows.

Clint said that they'd been in touch and also... touched... in other... ways. Wowza.

After two weeks together, they were smitten.

Ryan, meanwhile, had no idea.

Well, he had an inkling. But when he got wind of the rumours he called both Jacqui and Clint directly, and they each denied it.

"At least we found each other," Jacqui said to Clint ahead of Reunion.

"I didn't expect to meet anyone like you, and I can't believe a guy like Ryan wouldn't see all the positives and how good you are," Clint replied.

Meanwhile, Ryan was still suspicious.

He told cameras there would be "no justification" if they rocked up to the Dinner Party as a couple after saying there was nothing going on.

Instead of arriving to the Reunion Dinner Party as a duo, Clint and Jacqui opted to walk through the doors on their own.

Ryan took the chance to have a sit down with Clint on his own, and things didn't go as well as he'd have hoped.

Ryan said he didn't believe the rumours they were together at first, because he' contacted both Jacqui and Clint and they'd said no.

He then said to Clint: "You and me were mates..."

"First of all, I know you've been trying to message me and claim that we're mates. We're not f--king mates," Clint responded.

Ryan was shocked... and then Jacqui walked in solo.
