Married At First Sight groom Ryan Donnelly has finally confirmed the show’s worst kept secret —he and bride Jacqui Burfoot split at Final Vows.
The pair have been in a brutal online feud since their disastrous appearance on the Nine series, spoiling their entire storyline as Jacqui, 29, began publicly dating co-star Clint Rice.
Now, as Final Vows are set to air on Sunday, Ryan, 36, has left his ex TV wife with some final cutting words.
He took to Instagram on Thursday to confirm their tumultuous relationship officially fell apart in the finale.
Ryan shared a short clip from the trailer for Sunday night’s episode, which showed the remaining brides and grooms heading for their respective altars to affirm their commitment or split from their partners.
The groom made a brief appearance at the end of the video, adjusting his tie as he made his way to his wife.

Ryan captioned the footage with the brutal message: ‘Obvious spoiler: Jacqui was a b***h at Final Vows, I laughed, then I left. Yayyy.’
It comes after Ryan went rogue and revealed private texts between him and Jacqui earlier this week.
The reality star shared screenshots of his WhatsApp conversation with Jacqui on Tuesday, which showed her quick change in tune between the Final Commitment Ceremony and Final Temptation Task.
In the first screenshot of messages, Jacqui told Ryan she was ‘really disappointed’ in him for voting to leave the experiment when she voted to stay.
During Sunday’s Commitment Ceremony, Ryan called out his wife’s harsh criticism of him during Homestays Week and voiced his intention to leave the series. Jacqui chose to stay.
But despite telling the experts she wanted to stay to ‘talk it out’ and ‘have some healthy communication’, she sent a heated text to the groom post-filming saying the complete opposite.
‘I think it’s best we both leave the experiment tomorrow together—you’ve made it clear tonight to me it’s over. And it’s cut me very deep,’ one read.
She finished off the text: ‘I hope you are happy with yourself.’
Jacqui then did a complete 180 just a couple days later following the controversial Final Task.

During Tuesday night’s episode, the pair were given the choice to meet with another potential love match the experts had found during the audition process or remain loyal to their spouses.
The challenge saw both couples go on a date, with Jacqui even giving her number to her backup groom, Rory, 28.
However, when she returned to the apartment, she told Ryan, ‘I’ve loved you since the day I met you,’ and the pair reignited their relationship.
In a second screenshot posted on Instagram, Jacqui is seen praising her TV husband in true Jacqui fashion—with a list.
The bride listed the things he brings to the table, which included: ‘best sex’, ‘hottest body’, ‘smart and hard working,’ and ‘fit, healthy and lean’.
She added: ‘P.S. My new thing is happy lists for you. You are more than enough for me. And I’m gonna fight for that. Because you are worth it.’
The exposed text messages come after Jacqui sensationally claimed on Monday production forced her to remain in the experiment despite wanting to leave.
‘Tonight I packed my bags and tried to leave but was stopped by production. They refused to let me leave and said I had to stay as per the rules of the experiment,’ she wrote on Instagram.
‘They told me Ryan was feeling crushed and it was my chance to make him feel included and accepted as a human.
‘So guess that was my final job. I didn’t see any future with him. I wanted to leave amicably as but no more. Tomorrow I take the date option to meet someone new.’
