Lauren is left blindsided and heartbroken at this week’s dinner party, as the lies around Jonathan and Ellie’s relationship begin to unravel. 

This week on Married At First Sight Australia, the participants are still reeling from Tori’s revelation at the commitment ceremony that Jonathan has been texting Ellie – who left the relationship experiment weeks ago when she and her husband Ben parted ways – behind his wife’s back.

When Lauren demands to see  Jonathan’s phone, she finds hundreds of text messages between them where she’s not mentioned once. 

Devastated, Lauren decides to make a statement by walking into the dinner party alone. And when the remainder of the group find out the extent of the messaging, everyone grows wearier of Jonathan’s intentions.

Under fire, he denies anything is going on with Ellie, only for Tori to drop another bomb that he had, in fact, said he would love to have been paired with Ellie.

With Ellie single and still looking for love, has she found it – but with someone else’s husband?

Then, an earth-shattering honesty box leaves Lauren questioning who she’s been sleeping next to for the past two months as Jonathan declares he would “continue messaging Ellie”. 

Jonathan refuses to take accountability for his actions and Lauren is left bewildered – with Final Vows just around the corner, will the couple split for good?
