Married At First Sight’s Ryan Exposes Private Texts with Jacqui Amid Drama

Married At First Sight groom Ryan Donnelly, 36, has sparked controversy by leaking private WhatsApp messages between him and his TV wife, Jacqui Burfoot, 29. The screenshots, shared Tuesday, reveal Jacqui’s conflicting stance during the experiment’s final stages.

Commitment Ceremony Clash
During Sunday’s Final Commitment Ceremony, Ryan criticized Jacqui for her harsh remarks about him during Homestays Week, declaring he wanted to quit the experiment. Jacqui, however, opted to stay, telling experts she wanted to “talk it out.” But post-filming, her texts told a different story. “I think it’s best we both leave tomorrow together… it’s cut me very deep,” she wrote, adding, “I hope you’re happy with yourself.”

Jacqui’s Sudden U-Turn
Days later, during the Final Temptation Task, Jacqui shocked viewers by agreeing to meet backup groom Rory, 28, even exchanging numbers. However, upon returning to Ryan, she declared, “I’ve loved you since the day I met you,” reigniting their relationship. Ryan later shared a screenshot of Jacqui’s effusive praise list for him, including “best sex,” “hottest body,” and “smart & hardworking,” with her stating, “You are worth fighting for.”

Production Interference Claims
The drama escalated when Jacqui alleged producers barred her from quitting earlier. On Instagram, she wrote, “I tried to leave but was stopped… They said I had to stay as per the experiment rules,” claiming she was told to support Ryan despite wanting to exit. She later opted for the date with Rory, stating, “I didn’t see a future with [Ryan].”

Relationship Breakdown
Tensions peaked during Homestays Week, where Jacqui’s critiques of Ryan led to a group intervention at the Dinner Party. At the Commitment Ceremony, Ryan lamented, “I’ve felt I haven’t had a partner, I’ve had a critic,” explaining his decision to leave. Jacqui’s mixed signals—publicly committing to the relationship while privately wavering—left fans questioning her sincerity.
