Kiwi Samuel can’t wait for his brawny beau to meet the folks.

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, being isolated together could put a few relationships on shaky ground.

An emotional Yuki has revealed how she came home to find Dan had packed all of his things and left her.

''I've realised I need to relax and go on the path that I need to be on and it will come to me – the right man will one day be in front of me!''

''It was a bit of a surprise and I needed a bit of time to process everything,'' Anna reveals.

It didn't work out with his TV groom Jono, but Ray's hoping for happily ever after with Jamie.

While the pair don't hide the fact their relationship is up in the air, Married at First Sight NZ's Vicky Fuller and Stefaan Nes are hoping they can hold on to whatever's left.

He kept things close to his chest on the show, but Jimmy was the first to confess his true feelings.

Losing his brother took a toll on the TV groom.

''We share so much love, I truly will have a friend for life in Anna but if you realise you are not in love with someone it is not a feeling you can hide,'' said Jordan.

The producers couldn't have scripted it better!

Vicky felt terrible after calling it quits and contacted Stefaan later that day.

They only wish marriage was as easy as keeping in shape!

They've even talked about having kids!

The happy couple has wasted no time in starting the next chapter of their lives.

''Well, it was an experience,'' says one. "The whole experience was so negative it hurts my heart,'' says the other.

''I think I made myself a little bit of a target.''

Close friends convinced him that he'd 'die wondering' if he didn't follow through.

''I was getting beaten up, I was getting harassed by people and I wasn't sure what it was, because I was playing sport and I didn't think I was gay at all.''

He's learning to love, and Stefaan hopes to make things last with Vicky.

As MAFS expert Steph puts it, ''It's like a greyhound race, and one greyhound is well out in front.''

And it appears James made quite the impression on Her Majesty!

Their tropical honeymoon brought back memories of a traumatic childhood trauma for Anna.

These Kiwi MAFS stars have had their fair share of headline-grabbing moments since appearing on the show.

The MAFS brides give us the goss on their gowns.

''The entire experience has been very, very traumatic for me,'' Aimee, 34, says. ''I'm really lost for words.''

Rose says she went into Married At First Sight full of hope.

And it was all down to an analogy involving toast.

His early exit is said to relate to volatile behaviour during filming.

At his lowest point Dave even considered suicide.

But unfortunately filming has already been completed.

A warrant was issued for Chris Mansfield's arrest for failing to appear in court on a 2009 assault charge.

Twelve new singles are lining up to marry a complete stranger. Here's your first look at the brave hopefuls.

Is this a sign of things to come?

The unlucky-in love bachelor says he loves Kiwi girls - ''and the haka is one of my all-time favourite things''.

''Doing long distance, it felt like we were dating, but now we're living together, we actually feel like husband and wife. It's good to wake up to Yuki every day.''

Tamara’s thrown out her wedding gown to make room for his belongings.

The stress of a bad romance was taking its toll on Tayler, but he's now back to his old self and is loving his new life.

''I got a call from a friend in New Zealand. She said, ‘I know someone who’d be really good for you!’ She’d been trying to set us up for two years.''

''I found it hard finding people who were genuine and it was hard to trust anyone.''

They only announced their sad separation days ago - but Sam was blindsided to find out from a friend that Tayler is already seeing someone else.

Patrick Miller admits life after MAFS Australia took him to a dark place. It's something Gareth Noble and Wayne McIntosh from the Kiwi version can relate to.

"It was good - I can't lie!" confesses Julia.

''I need to see that he can cope in an Asian country. It's very different from here.''

''It's a sad reflection of our lifestyle.''

They're already on the hunt for singles.

How to create a workable relationship that puts all the old hurts behind you.

A disastrous first marriage hasn't put her off. But first, there's the technicality of still being married to another man. ''I say to Ryan all the time, 'Do you feel naughty because I’m still married?'''

''I still believe in loving your body no matter what... but some clothes just don't fit nice when you don't have anything to put in them.''

Relationships are like a car – they need ongoing attention to keep running smoothly.

''I want to use this publicity for good rather than just 'what Monique gets up to on Saturday night'.''

''It felt like I was having a heart attack.''

''I am taking full responsibility for making the wrong decision.''

''I'm a pasty white boy who's married a hot chick from another country!''

''Having Tayler means I’m not alone. He’s my rock.''

''They’re both good-looking people and with the powers of alcohol... it’s the solution and cause of all our problems.''

One more dose of drama before everyone leaves the experiment.

Get to know the relationship guru.

''I have some tough memories and it must have been very stressful for them, but they never gave up on me. It’s made us very close,'' Tayler says of his mum and his gran.

Her former partner's controlling ways has led to her developing trust issues.

'Do you know what an influencer is?'

There are a few surprises in this one!

''I'm so horrible! What's there for anyone to like?''

We say goodbye to two couples, but how many more aren't too far behind them?

"I was so sad for my body," she says. "I apologised to it like 20 times."

Things are getting seriously juicy.

''That day has been imprinted in my brain. I don't have many memories of my dad because I was so young, but I remember that whole ordeal. I was so scared. I'm only here because of his actions.''

It's a small world after all.

"I can't figure you out," Wayne says in exasperation to Ksenia. "I thought that was a dick move," Ottie says of Gareth.

The jury is still out on whether Dave and his new bride Julia will last the distance. She's been quite vocal about her lack of attraction - but what does Dave really think?

Grab your tissues!

“I was hiding from the world and wondering why I’m actually here.”

This is one couple that doesn't like talking about their feelings!

The experts are determined to get the matches right this time.
