MARRIED At First Sight UK star Marylise Corrigan has split from her new love after believing she had finally found The One.
The reality star went public with her new romance in September last year, telling fans that she had ‘found happiness’ after suffering heartbreak on the main series.

However, just a year later, Marylise and her mystery man, who was not part of the reality world, have gone their separate ways.
A source told The Sun Online: “Marilyse is really upset and can’t believe she’s ended up single again.
“She was dumped over text after falling head over heels.
“It was a whirlwind romance and in hindsight she feels she was love bombed.”
‘Lovebombing’ is a term used to describe those who try to win over someone’s affections by quickly showering them with excessive gestures – including compliments, gifts and declarations of love – in order to ‘secure’ the person’s trust and love.
In many cases, lovebombing results in an intense emotional attachment, which some use to then manipulate or control the person involved.
Marylise first shot into the public eye by participating in the sixth series of the E4 reality show in 2021.
She was matched by the experts with Franky Spencer, a former soldier and a strength and conditioning coach.
Despite ups and downs, the pair confirmed their vows in the final episode and planned to move forward together away from the programme, but split four months later after their romance “dried up” and they became “more like friends”.
Marilyse told The Sun at the time: “A few weeks after the reunion we went our separate ways, we didn’t even fall out, we just mutually agreed that maybe we were not each other’s future.
“It’s really sad as we got on really well and Franky has a heart of gold but outside the experiment, I had to think, ‘Do I want to be with this person forever?’”
Marylise then went on to date Matt Murray, 34, a groom who took part in the MAFS experiment in 2022, and had famously ditched his bride for another on the programme.
However, after just six months together they split as well, with Marylise later explaining it felt “too intense”.
When Marylise went public with her new romance in 2024, she declared she had “found happiness” with the mystery man, posting pictures of them on holiday together.
“When you’ve been on a TV show people think that you’re going to be really high maintenance”, she said.
“They think that you’re going to have high expectations, that you’re all about the glitz and glam, when actually, I’m completely the opposite.
“Yes, I like to go out to an event every few months but I’m totally down to earth and normal.
“And I think that being on a TV show means you do attract the wrong kind of people as well.”
