Married At First Sight’s Madeleine Maxwell has broken her silence on why she never made it to Sunday night’s explosive reunion.
The psychic medium left fans puzzled with her absence during the highly-anticipated reunion, leaving her ex-husband Ash Galati to front the rest of the group alone.
Speaking to Daily Mail about the no-show, Madeleine said she simply didn’t ‘align’ with Married At First Sight and didn’t want anything to do with the show after her dramatic exit earlier this season.
‘I chose not to go to the reunion because I did not feel in alignment with the production itself,’ said the former Home and Away actress, cryptically.
‘The production itself was something that was contradictory to what they sell .’

Ash had previously warned that fans wouldn’t see Madeleine at the two-episode reunion special during an interview with Daily Mail last month.
‘I come back alone, which was a blessing in disguise,’ Ash confessed, shedding light on his feelings towards the unexpected turn of events.
Despite the rocky journey and Madeleine’s sudden disappearance, Ash expressed a sense of relief at her choice.
‘I chose not to go to the reunion because I did not feel in alignment with the production itself,’ she cryptically told Daily Mail , adding: ‘The production itself was something that was contradictory to what they sell .’ (Pictured with husband Ash Galati)
‘I was expecting her to come back. I followed things through till the end. I had an obligation to come back to myself, to the show, to the other couples. So I did the right thing and I showed up. But she didn’t.’
The mystery deepened as Ash admitted, ‘As far as I know, no one’s heard from her.’
‘As soon as I left the experiment I blocked her number. But, if she wanted to, she could reach out, but she’s probably forgotten about me.’

The couple failed to form a connection and their ill-fated marriage reached breaking point after a dramatic honeymoon where they struggled to get to know one another.
Scenes from their honeymoon saw Madeleine breaking down in tears upon seeing a herd of cows and telling Ash she had been contacted by ‘spirits’ during their dinner date, leaving her groom confused.
Ash has now revealed even more ‘wild’ moments from their honeymoon that didn’t make it to screen as he gave a candid insight into his MAFS journey.
‘I come back alone which was a blessing in disguise,’ Galati confessed, shedding light on his feelings towards the unexpected turn of events
Ash described their honeymoon as ‘traumatic, chaotic and crazy’ as he claimed that Madeleine didn’t try to get involved or get to know him.
‘She accused me of being a police officer. I’m surprised I didn’t get shown,’ he told Daily Mail .
‘She’s like, ”You’re a cop, you’re trying to interrogate me,” I’m like, ”no, I’m not trying to interrogate you. I’m trying to get to know you. There’s a difference,” but she just took anything that like any, if anyone asks any questions about being a psychic or a medium, she was super defensive, including other couples at our wedding.’

He claimed that there was only ‘dead silence’ when the cameras weren’t around as he reflected on his struggles to further his connection with former Home And Away star Madeleine.
Ash admitted he began to have his doubts about their connection the morning after the wedding, but decided to persevere with the experiment after getting advice from the other couples who had overcome their early issues.
‘She was just very quiet the morning after the wedding, she’d be on the phone a lot to her friends, just we didn’t really, talk at all, and then as soon as we got mic’d up and when the camera crew was there, it was over the top, and she loved me, and I’m the funniest guy in the world.’
