In the ever-enticing world of reality television, romance often takes center stage, captivating audiences with tales of love, drama, and the unpredictable journey to finding “the one.” Married at First Sight (MAFS) Australia is no exception, known for its bold premise of couples meeting and marrying each other sight unseen.

Among the couples who have graced the screens and stirred up emotions, Natalie and Collins emerged as a particularly intriguing pair. But the burning question remains: Are Natalie and Collins still together?

Are Natalie and Collins still together?

No, Natalie and Collins, the couple from Married at First Sight 2024, are not together. They did not even make it to the end of the performance, which will be broadcast in Australia until at least the end of March.

Natalie typed leave during the couple’s first commitment ceremony, while Collins wrote stay. Despite being obliged to stay another week on the show, Natalie left her on-screen spouse early.

Before doing so, Natalie questioned Collins about why he wrote remain when there was nothing between them. Collins waxed some type of stupid verbal poetry about being thrilled every time he was with Nat, and the bride interrupted him to tell him his speech felt like an ‘Oscars performance.’

“I can’t listen to you without hearing ‘orchestra’,” Natalie says in the episode. “I can’t communicate with someone who speaks to me like we’re on the set of Neighbors or Home & Away.” “It just feels too manufactured.”

Natalie goes on to say: “If this is truly you, that’s you, but it’s not someone who gives me energy; it drains me.” I don’t believe I can develop a love relationship with you; I don’t see a future. It’s time for me to go.”

Natalie’s exit from the show was photographed by The Daily Mail at the time when she was seen departing Skye Suites with all her belongings in August, just a few weeks after production began.

According to the publication, Collins and Natalie departed the experience just two days after the initial commitment ceremony was filmed, and they parted ways on “bad terms.”

Natalie was understandably unhappy with her partner’s behavior on the show, but the truth was that she was also dealing with a lot of emotional baggage at the time. Her father had died just six months before filming began, and her mother had recently gotten a cancer diagnosis.

Collins has now spoken with Australian breakfast radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O about Natalie’s anguish and why she had to leave the show so quickly.

“I tried to be as supportive as I could but during the two, three weeks that we were on, it was apparent that Nat was struggling with grief and homesickness,” Collins told the host of the radio show.

Being unlucky in love was just the icing on the bad cake, as Natalie’s other contestants gathered around her in support following her decision to leave, particularly Jayden Eynaud, who didn’t seem to have anything positive to say about Collins during the show.

He went on to say: “Poor Nat is balling her eyes out, she’s extremely upset, but then Collins is pretending to be upset as well when you know he’s not.”

“I’ve seen him outside the dinner party, I’ve seen how he feels about her and he’s not that upset.”
