Are Jade Barredo and Ridge Pywell from Married at First Sight Australia 2024 still together? Here's what we know.
Married at First Sight Australia 2024 is almost finished with its UK broadcast, with Final Vows set to air this week.
Intruders Jade and Ridge got off to a bit of a rocky start however they've ended the experiment as possibly the strongest couple in the show and since filming wrapped up, the pair have just gone from strength to strength.
With moving plans, engagement plans and baby plans, it's obvious but we'll still ask; are they still together since filming the show? Here's what we know.
Yes, Jade and Ridge are a MAFS success story!
Cheating allegations first emerged earlier this year when So Dramatic! reported that Ridge had dumped two ex-girlfriends to appear on the show. More recently, the host of So Dramatic! podcast revealed comments from the girls that are claiming to of dated him.
One of the unnamed ladies said: “We slept together in January, and Jade knows about it. He’s a piece of work, that’s for sure.” And the second woman claimed she was dating Ridge “before, during and after filming”.
However, Ridge has firmly denied the claims in a Facebook post which read: “I’ve never cheated on Jade. We’ve had our ups and downs like in any relationship, but I’d never disrespect the future mother of my kids like that.
"Maybe you guys should check your facts before believing every bit of rubbish that’s posted on the internet.”
Ridge has been unwavering in his loyalty to Jade and his trust in Jade and that's a green flag if we've ever seen one.
The pair have slowly been intertwining their lives and it's been a joy to watch. On their Instagram accounts, the couple have shared a number of firsts with their followers.
Their first international trip together, and their first wedding together, Ridge has introduced Jade to his extended family, as Jade has opened her home to Ridge in the Gold Coast.
While she was keeping a low profile the bride had a private Instagram but pictures from the account were leaked. On the page's story a picture of a man's back with 'Jade' tattooed into a dove was shown and the back in question is full of other tats which match Ridge's ink.
There are also pictures of the two kissing during New Year's Eve celebrations, and they look very much smitten! The couple also follow each other on their main accounts, and in this day and age, that's a pretty good sign that a relationship is still going strong.
Ridge is a two-time Commonwealth Games weightlifter who also works as a psychiatric nurse, he appeared on First Dates back in 2020 and wasn't lucky to find love but it seems the experts have managed to find his match on MAFS.
Since the show began airing Jade has posted more on her main socials about her relationship with Ridge. A reel of B-T-S of their MAFS honeymoon suggests they are a very happy couple as they can be seen being affectionate and loving towards each other throughout.
Ridge even posted on his page: "From frat boy to lover boy real quick. Honeymoon got me good."
