Shannon and Caitlin, two of the contestants on this year’s Married At First Sight Australia, seemed to have a great connection when they first met and wed.
However, since their honeymoon, the couple have had multiple problems. During Confessions Week, Caitlin was unimpressed with some of the remarks Shannon made when ranking the MAFS women in order of attractiveness.

She expressed her disappointment to Married At First Sight producers, saying that Shannon made many “red flag comments.”
Caitlin became even more upset when Shannon initially ranked her second but then moved her down to third place.
Shannon tried to explain his actions, telling Caitlin that Melinda and Claire (who he ranked first and second) had a “natural beauty” that shone more than Caitlin’s.
To make matters worse, after the Picture Task, Shannon dropped an absolute bombshell: he might still be in love with his ex.
In the latest episode of MAFS, Shannon even admitted when probed by expert Mel Schilling, that he saw his ex just a week before he came into the experiment and they were intimate.
In response, Caitlin shared that she’s been in this exact position before – a guy she’s in a relationship with is hung up on his ex – and Shannon doing this to her was like “being slapped” by all her past “traumas”.
Despite Shannon’s confusion and Caitlin’s heartbreak, they both chose to stay in the Married At First Sight experiment. Expert John Aiken said, “Shannon you got a whole lot of work to do this week… She’s got to be your priority.”

But will they be able to make their relationship work? Or will they call it quits? So far, we know that Caitlin follows Shannon on Instagram but he doesn’t follow her back! Ouch.
It looks like the pair may not still be together… But we’ll all have to wait and see.
Married At First Sight continues Monday at 7.30pm on 9 and 9Now.
