Tim & Jackie

These Brisbane fitness trainers met at the gym. They hooked up at work one night over a few drinks and their relationship started from there, but it seems that’s where the intimacy in their relationship began and ended. Their lack of any kind of romance is the number one issue for Jackie, followed by the resentment that’s building from running their fitness business from their home. After the show Jackie got pregnant with their son and the couple remain together as of October 2018. They have since welcomed a baby girl as well.

Ryan & Cassie

Cassie has 2 daughters: 11-month-old Emmerson with Ryan and nine-year-old Ramani from a previous relationship, though her biggest child is Ryan himself. Cassie is sick of dealing with a man-child. Cassie wants to reignite the passion she once had with Ryan. Ryan and Cassie had another baby girl, Mena, on 14 June 2016. After the show the couple remained together until mid-2017, when they separated.

Jason & Michelle

This Gold Coast couple has been together for seven years and have a four-year-old son and an eight-month-old daughter together. While Michelle is focused on being a good mum, Jason spends all his time establishing his motorbike business during the day and doing web design at night to make extra cash for his family, but Michelle wants more affection from Jason. The couple announced they had split in the reunion episode.
