Married At First Sight’s Ryan Donnelly and Jacqui Burfoot have sparked speculation the show is staged after they were spotted heading to a Woolworths in Sydney during filming with a series producer.
Before their separation and Jacqui’s new relationship with co-star Clint Rice was revealed, the pair looked to be in great spirits and held hands as they strolled down the street.
Ryan, 36, was dressed in a casual monochromatic ensemble consisting of a plain white shirt, black pants and white sneakers.
His black hair and beard were neatly styled as he chivalrously carried a Woolies shopping bag in one hand.
Meanwhile, Jacqui, 29, turned heads in a stunning green plunging mini-dress paired with white open-toed shoes.
Her brunette hair was styled in soft waves and she accessorised with understated gold earrings and two carry bags.

Meanwhile, Jacqui and Clint have been the topic of couple swap rumours for weeks and now it appears their romance has been confirmed.
The pair were spotted looking loved up at the Launceston Cup on Wednesday in Clint’s home state of Tasmania, where Jacqui has reportedly relocated.
Arriving arm-in-arm, the pair attracted attention from other event-goers as they flaunted their relationship after being matched with different partners on MAFS, reported Pulse Tasmania.
Jacqui and Clint were initially paired with Ryan and Lauren Hall respectively, but have since stirred up backlash after striking up a romance together.
Though, according to insiders, the couple didn’t get close until after their TV marriages collapsed.
Daily Mail first revealed Jacqui and Clint had moved on together earlier this month.

Since then, Jacqui has reportedly resigned from her job in Sydney and relocated to Tasmania to be with Clint.
The scandal is said to have left Ryan blindsided, ruined Clint and Lauren’s wedding storyline and thrown the entire season into disarray.
The first sign of Jacqui’s new romance emerged when she posted a cryptic Instagram update in December, teasing a ‘new chapter’.
Just days later, she was spotted getting cosy with Clint at a wildlife park in Tasmania.
An insider confirmed: ‘They have a natural chemistry. She’s empathetic, a great communicator and driven. Clint is exactly the same.’
‘Ryan had no idea. He heard rumours, but seeing it unfold like this left him feeling betrayed,’ an insider told Daily Mail
‘They share so many common interests—tennis, wineries, documentaries, even their love for dumplings. They’ve barely spent a night apart since filming wrapped.’
The couple are even planning to launch a business together, using Clint’s experience from selling a successful golf distribution company in 2023.
While Jacqui and Clint appear to be enjoying their new romance, Ryan was reportedly left completely blindsided at the reunion.
‘Ryan had no idea. He heard rumours, but seeing it unfold like this left him feeling betrayed,’ an insider told Daily Mail .
‘He considered Clint a mate—now he feels like they both lied to his face.’
‘Producers are furious. This completely ruins Clint and Lauren’s wedding episode,’ a source said.
‘Viewers haven’t even seen them get married yet, and now they already know Clint ends up with Jacqui.’
Despite the fallout, Clint has no regrets.
‘Clint is an introverted extrovert—calm, confident, and fiercely loyal. He doesn’t tolerate nonsense, when he’s in a relationship, he’s all in,’ a close friend revealed.
‘He signed up to MAFS to find a wife, and with Jacqui, he may have finally found exactly that.’
