Are MAFS Australia's Rachel and Steven still together?

Despite a complicated time in the MAFS experiment, all signs and evidence hinted that Steven and Rachel were still together – until recently.

Fans and the experts weren't hopeful at the beginning as it became clear that Steven was struggling with the romantic connection side of things.

Emotions peaked when Rachel begged him for a kiss during Intimacy Week and he tragically turned her down.

They both also had concerns their personalities and sense of humours didn't align, too.

During Friends and Family Week, their loved ones could see how much Steve was holding back with them and encouraged him to "open up".

However, their understanding of one another's feelings and open communication saw them all the way through to Final Vows.

Which was successful, to a point. They recommitted to each other, but Rachel has recently confirmed the pair have finally split.

The 35-year-old admitted the breakdown of their bond all started when Steven visited her in Melbourne, which she described as "awkward".

In the three weeks between Final Vows and the reunion dinner party, Rachel and Steven split.

The disappointed bride revealed the shock news on the It's A Lot podcast, telling host Abbie Chatfield: "On the last commitment ceremony, I expressed my concern that Steven was going to go back to his normal life, and I would become a burden and it's going to be easier to let me go, which I very much feel like that's what's come to fruition."
