It was only months ago that Alene Khatcherian and Simon McQuillan sat down with Woman’s Day and spoke of their dream to have twins – even picking out their baby names.

But in a blow that has devastated fans, the Married At First Sight favourites’ revealed last week they’ve parted company.

“It was a difficult decision but we have decided to part ways,” the pair said in the joint statement.

“We remain the greatest of friends and we will continue to be part of each other’s lives.” While everyone’s praying they’ll reconsider, a source has told Woman’s Day that a reconciliation is unlikely with Simon, 37, making the decision to call it quits.

“Alene was blindsided when Simon instigated the breakup,” reveals a former cast member from the same series, adding, “She’s heartbroken and devastated.”

Friends of the former couple believe it might have been the distance that broke them, with Simon living in Queensland and Alene, 31, in Sydney.

And Simon, who underwent a sexy makeover on the series, certainly hasn’t wasted anytime jumping back into the dating scene.

The Queensland farmer has been spotted on dating app, Tinder, and has been getting plenty of female attention on Facebook.
