They clicked at their wedding but for Married at First Sight NZ‘s Luke and Lacey, their honeymoon fallout saw them on a one-way journey to Splitsville.

After failing to reconnect at the cocktail party, Lacey announced at the couple’s therapy session that she has decided to leave Luke.

“I don’t see us working on this relationship. I don’t see it working out.”

Luke seemed surprised by the news. “Well, if you feel that way… I can’t have a relationship by myself.”

He said he didn’t think that Lacey gave their relationship a fair shot.

“I gave this a 110% but the moment I found out that this wasn’t working for me I put new plans into motion,” she explained.

Luke said that he struggled to open up to Lacey and be more affectionate.

“I came into this being myself… I can see why they put us together but Lacey didn’t really feel the same way and that’s entirely up to her.”

In a session with the couple together the experts helped them to realise they needed to focus on each other and their relationship and not let “outside influences” interfere.

The pair patched things up and agreed to work on the relationship.

Andrew received a call from Haydn telling him about Vicky messaging him and interfering in his relationship with Bel. Vicky listens in on the entire conversation and is shocked to hear Haydn’s side of things.
