Married At First Sight Australia season 11 saw the experts match physiotherapist Natalie Parham, 32, with executive assistant Collins Christian, 28, hoping their romance would blossom throughout the experiment.

When Natalie and Collins met for the first time on their wedding day, the pair appeared to have a lot in common and an instant connection. However, it didn't take long for the groom to reveal some concerns about the marriage.

Throughout their time on the show, Natalie questions Collins honesty and sometimes 'unusual' behaviour towards her, leaving the groom confused over what he is doing wrong.

Are Collins and Natalie still together?

No, Collins and Natalie are not together following their time on Married At First Sight Australia.

The pair have two exits from the experiment, the first being at the first dinner party of the season where an emotional Natalie told Collins and the rest of the brides and grooms that she was leaving the experiment.

Later, Natalie agreed to return to MAFS and moved into a separate apartment away from Collins as the pair tried to work on their relationship. Despite this, Natalie voted to leave at the first commitment ceremony while Collins voted to stay.

While the pair were both required to stay for another week in the experiment, Natalie said goodbye once and for all the day after where she called Collins out for his 'acting' and 'performances'.

Where are Collins and Natalie now?

Following their time on Married At First Sight, both Collins and Natalie have spoken publicly about their relationship.

Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle last month, Natalie updated fans by revealing: "We don't talk...What really hurt was he could see how sad and how affected I was by being on the experiment, and he never checked in. I checked in with him, he gave me one-word answers, but he never reached out just to see if I was okay.”

Meanwhile, Collins reacted to the reaction from viewers towards him, saying in an interview: "It's tough because I can't sit here and say, 'nah, I was real'. I definitely was but, what's on the screen, I can't fault what they're saying."

He added: "I came across so fake. It was tough to watch."

Here's a look at Natalie and Collins' time on MAFS:

Collins and Natalie's wedding

Things started well when Collins and Natalie said 'I do'. The pair were giggling like school children when they first met and it looked like the two were on their way to developing a strong bond.

But things started to go downhill when Natalie gifted Collins a magnetic necklace which connected to her own one.

Collins and Natalie's honeymoon

The pair decided to give their relationship a chance and headed on their honeymoon together.

After building a 'pillow wall' between the two of them, Collins isn't sure whether he wants to be intimate with his new wife, and things only get worse when they newlyweds head on a four-wheel driving experience.

Natalie is feeling so uncomfortable she ends up pulling the car over and calling the date over.

With things continuing to disintegrate between Collins and Natalie, the two tried to put on a united front at the first dinner party.

However it soon became clear things between the couple were at an all time low, leading Natalie to break down in tears and reveal she is going to leave the experiment.

An agitated Collins then huffed: "It didn't even begin and my MAFS journey is over."

Collins and Natalie leave MAFS Australia

After the pair depart the dinner party, Natalie agreed to return to the experiment and give her romance with Collins one last shot. This did not go well, however, and ended with the bride voting to leave the experiment at the same time her husband voted to stay.

While the rules of the show state that if one person votes to stay the pair must remain in the experiment for another week, Natalie finally had enough when she went to confront Collins before leaving the show for good.

Collins told her: "Every moment I see you I am happy because that's what I'm here for." However Natalie wasn't buying it and simply replied: "This feels like an Oscar's performance."
