Dom described her time on Sit With Us as "an incredible journey".
"From the very beginning, Ella and I dreamed of building something special, but we could never have imagined the amazing community that would grow from our idea.

The news comes after a challenging few months for Dom. In June 2024, she entered a mental health retreat after struggling with online commentary she'd received.
In a previous statement Dom shared she needed a social media break to "heal, reflect, and gain a better understanding" of herself and to focus on her mental health.
After checking out of the retreat in July 2024, Dom embarked on an overseas trip to Italy with her mum and grandmother.

Ella is yet to make individual comment on the cancellation of Sit With Us, but shared a gym selfie on social media captioning it, "We get it done."
Dom and Ella first met on Season 9 of MAFS in 2022. While neither of them found love in the experiment their friendship became the biggest takeaway.
The pair have remained tightknit in the years that followed their appearance on MAFS, with 2024 being one of their busiest years yet.
In April 2024, Ella secretly married her partner Guy Palermo just weeks after his sweet park proposal.
In the same month Dom confirmed her split from long-time partner Jack in a statement to social media.
