We're now into the final week of Married at First Sight UK 2022, with the couples heading on their last dates after the final commitment ceremony last week.

When the show started, there were 16 singles walking down the aisle, hoping to meet the love of their life at the other end and while fans will know that some pairings were hugely successful, others were definitely not.

With six couples remaining in the experiment, including Chanita and Jordan, Adrian Sanderson and Thomas Hartley and Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson, you would hope that it would be plain sailing for all of them from here on out – but judging by the first-look for tonight's episode, it may not be that simple.

Here's everything you need to know about the Married at First Sight UK 2022 couples and whether they're still together.

Who are the Married at First Sight UK 2022 couples?

Chanita and Jordan

Derby-based social worker Chanita walked down the aisle on Tuesday night (30th August) to find 29-year-old account manager Jordan waiting for her – and luckily for both of them, the sparks immediately began to fly.

While Jordan, who is from Darlington, considers himself a "great catch" with a good job, a close relationship with his mum and cooking skills, 29-year-old Chanita revealed that she's ready to find her future partner after leaving a 10-year relationship two years prior.

With both Chanita and Jordan being raised in single-parent households, the MAFS UK experts believed that they would make a "good match" and the couple quickly bonded after Jordan said that she looked "beautiful" in her wedding dress. Meanwhile, Jordan's mum seemed to take a liking to Chanita after she comforted her new husband while he spoke about his nan passing away – but will the pair make it through the honeymoon stage?

Are Chanita and Jordan still together? Arguably one of this season's strongest couples, Chanita and Jordan appeared to be a match made in heaven. However, they hit a few bumps in their MAFS journey, with Jordan more recently revealing that he wouldn't want to move in with Chanita unless he was in love with her.

As for whether the pair are still together, both Chanita and Jordan follow each other on Instagram and have been regularly posting pictures of one another from filming the process – so hopefully that's a good sign!

Whitney and Duka

Those who watched Tuesday night's MAFS UK premiere will know that it definitely wasn't love at first sight for 31-year-olds Whitney and Duka, after the former made it clear that she wasn't impressed with the match.

While recruitment HR coordinator Duka considers himself a man about town, he revealed that he struggled as a child after fleeing former Yugoslavia with his family to escape conflict and moving to the UK at the age of 10, not knowing a word of English. As for Whitney, the St Albans-based personal assistant admits that she doesn't make the best first impression with people but has recently lost her mother and is ready to give love a chance.

However, after walking down the aisle in front of both contestants' friends and families, Whitney awkwardly reveals that she's ready to do a runner, telling the camera away from the ceremony that she wanted a "brick house" of a man but that Duka is more of a "shed". While at the end of the episode, they appeared to grow closer after Whitney opened up about her mother, it may be a bumpy road ahead for these lovebirds.

Are Whitney and Duka still together? Those who've been watching MAFS will know that Whitney and Duka chose to break up in Week 5 of the process, after Whitney re-coupled with Matt, who was originally paired with Gemma.

Duka left the show after his and Whitney's relationship came to an end, however it is not clear from Instagram whether he has moved on romantically.

Thomas and Adrian

Mental health care assistant Thomas was met with his newlywed husband, digital designer Adrian, smiling back at him as he walked down the aisle during episode two (30th August) of the dating show.

But it wasn't long before drama erupted as Thomas – who had previously made clear his type is tall, dark and handsome – confessed to Channel 4 bosses that he “didn’t expect someone blond”, before comparing Adrian to journalist "Clare Balding".

Things continued to heat up after the ceremony, as Adrian’s best friend Katie expressed her disapproval for her his new husband. "Thomas is quite flamboyant and I thought Adrian would be partnered with someone calmer, more sophisticated," she said, before going on to grill Thomas about his surgeries, his past relationships and his job. She then tearfully told the cameras: "I do not want him to go on the honeymoon and I do not want this to carry on."

But despite Katie’s strong opinions, Adrian wasn’t phased and proceeded to get to know Thomas one-on-one, and it looked like there could be hope for the pair's future together after all.

Are Thomas and Adrian still together? While the couples came a long way throughout the process, the pair decided during Tuesday's (11th October) episode that they would "bow out gracefully" and split up. After an emotional chat during one of the final dinner parties, Thomas told Adrian: "Just because we love each other, it doesn't mean we need to be together," and they left the experiment as single individuals.

April and George

Also married in episode two (30th August) were former Miss Great Britain April and her groom, George.

And it seems the pair are in for a bumpy ride after the conversation turned to children following the ceremony. Father-of-four George, who had already told the dating experts how important his children are to him, had to break the news to April.

"It's quite a bundle for someone to take on," he said to the cameras after the wedding, before heading to tell April.

"I'm not sure if I want children," she had said just before he dropped the bomb. However, in the end, she promised to give George a chance.

As we saw in last night's episode, their honeymoon wasn't without its hiccups, with George becoming frustrated with April's sudden tendency to step back from the marriage – but after chatting about their relationship, they decide to give it a proper go. However, George dropped a massive bombshell towards the end of the honeymoon, telling the cameras that he had discovered that April had kissed someone else on a dare in a hot tub.

Are April and George still together? While April and George are still together in the most recent episodes of Married at First Sight UK, April's recent posts on Instagram imply that they have split up, with April captioning a picture of herself: "Fresh Hair, Fresh Start," and replying to one commenter who asked her how she did not "run a mile" from George on the show with "You can't see it when you're in it."

According to The Sun, George was arrested last week over allegations of harassment and coercive control, with the Met Police saying in a statement: "A 40-year-old man was arrested in Worcestershire on Thursday, September 29, on suspicion of controlling and coercive behaviour. He was taken to a police station and bailed pending further enquiries.”

George has denied any allegations of wrongdoing.

Jess and Pjay

On Thursday 1st September, 31-year-olds Jess and Pjay got married at first sight.

A dental hygienist from Cambridgeshire, Jess is looking for someone who is as fun and outgoing as her, although she's found in the past that jumping into something quickly has gotten her in trouble in past relationships. Meanwhile, Pjay is a dancer who is part of the world famous Dreamboys and while this has gotten him plenty of female attention in the past, his ex-girlfriends have had trust issues around this.

Are Jess and Pjay still together? Jess and Pjay decided to split in Week 3 of the experiment.

Lara and Richie

Another marriage which took place on 1st September is the union of Lara and Richie.

Nottingham-based 49-year-old Lara is originally from Canada and an ex-dancer who is used to living a luxurious lifestyle, flying from Japan to New York for dinner on one occasion. Meanwhile, 51-year-old Richie is a sales advisor working in the music industry, who describes himself as a deep, clever and socially and emotionally intelligent man.

As for whether this marriage will work, we saw in the teaser that Richie may had trouble bonding with Lara's two children so the pair may have a bumpy road ahead of them? Only time will tell.

Are Lara and Richie still together? Lara and Richie decided to split up during Week 3 of the experiment.

Kasia and Kwame

Kasia and Kwame were one of the last set of couples to get married at first sight.

London-based Kasia, 36, left school at the age of 16 to have her first child and is now a mum-of-two. She's managed to juggle being a mum and a business woman, and despite mastering in both those areas, the same can't be said for her love life.

"I'm successful in a lot of other areas in my life and I've been through a lot, but the one area that I'm not successful in is my love life," she said.

Confident and sophisticated business man Kwame, 42, wants a second chance at finding love after having a very full life. He's travelled all over the world, established himself in a career, been married, had children and gotten divorced, and feels now is the time to put himself out there again romantically.

Are Kasia and Kwame still together? Despite making it to the end of the experiment, Kasia decided to split up with Kwame during their final decision after Kwame would not show her his home during Home Week.

Zoe and Jenna

Zoe and Jenna said "I do" on Monday, 5th September in front of their family and friends.

Despite being very outgoing, ambitious and a successful professional, quantity surveyor Zoe, 30, has struggled to find the right girl to settle down with.

The matchmakers think that business owner Jenna, 32, could be that girl. Jenna owns a small zero-waste shops and doesn't like the traditional idea of marriage, with a woman taking a man's name. Nevertheless, she wants to find that special person who she can spend the rest of her life with.

"I don't like dating apps and I don't go out anywhere to meet anyone, so this is the only way I'm going to find love... hopefully," she says.

Could this be a match made in heaven?

Are Zoe and Jenna still together? While Zoe and Jenna are still a couple on the show, we don't officially know yet whether they have stayed together. However, the pair still follow one another on Instagram and have been posting photographs of one another from the filming of the show.

Matt and Whitney

In a mid-series twist that no one saw coming, Matt and Whitney ditched their assigned partners and decided to pursue a romance – much to the shock of the rest of the group.

Despite being married to other cast members, with Whitney matched up to Duka and Matt paired with Gemma, the duo chose to break off their current relationships and continue the experiment as a couple.

Are Matt and Whitney still together? While Matt and Whitney are still together on the show, we don't officially know whether they've stayed an item since filming finished. While the couple are continuing to post photos of one another on their Instagram pages, they don't appear to follow one another on social media and haven't been tagging each other.

Gemma and Matt

Fiercely independent, bold and a bit wild, Gemma, 30, describes herself as a "bad bitch." She says she got close to a fairytale romance a couple of times, but now feels like she’s running out of luck and is desperate to meet a man who can sweep her off her feet and keep up with her antics in the bedroom!

The experts think Matt, a 32-year-old barber from Huddersfield, could be that guy.

Matt owns a successful barber shop in York, and whilst he has a talent for cutting hair, the most rewarding part of his job is having deep and meaningful conversations with customers, giving them life advice and positivity.

He's always looking for the next adventure and would like to meet a woman who shares his passion for life and isn't afraid to try new things - aww.

Are Gemma and Matt still together? Fans of MAFS will be well aware that Gemma and Matt are no longer together, with Gemma leaving the show after Matt decided to couple up with Whitney, who was paired with Duka at the time.

Sophie and Johnathan

Sophie, 26, works in tech and has spent the last few years building a successful career for herself. She’s a romantic at heart, and when the right person comes along, she’s ready to give 100 per cent, let her walls down and work together to find love.

She'll be marrying Johnathan, a 32-year-old carpenter from Selby. With his life very much together, John feels there’s one piece of the puzzle missing. He says he’s ready to settle down and just needs the right girl – someone with a natural look who is easy going and up for an adventure.

Are Sophie and Johnathan still together? Sophie and Jonathan are still a couple on the show, but as for whether they've lasted, we don't officially know yet. However, the pair still follow one another on Instagram and have been posting pictures of themselves – so perhaps they're still an item!
