They’ve had one of the most chaotic relationships in Married At First Sight history, but it seems Jacqui Burfoot and Ryan Donnelly have made to the finish line.
In exclusive photos taken by Daily Mail Australia, the couple were seen returning to their shared apartment at One Global Resort in Sydney‘s Green Square in the early hours of the morning after attending Wednesday’s dinner party.
The loved-up sighting comes despite a recent leak of explosive private messages, where Jacqui, 29, berated Ryan, 36, and called for the pair to leave the experiment together after a tense Commitment Ceremony clash.
Jacqui looked radiant in a bold fuchsia strapless Aje gown with a voluminous skirt that billowed dramatically as she walked.
The blonde bride, who was beaming throughout the stroll, styled her golden locks in soft, loose waves and added height with metallic stiletto heels.
She kept warm in a cropped black jacket and accessorised with a large Louis Vuitton tote.

Ryan, meanwhile, coordinated with his wife in a sharp burgundy suit layered over a black shirt.
The part-time actor looked polished black shoes and carried a green grocery bag in one hand, while keeping Jacqui’s tightly gripped in the other.
Despite no cameras or producers in sight, the pair looked like they’d just stepped off set, glowing with happiness as they made their way inside.
An insider tells Daily Mail Australia: ‘They’re bananas together but Jacqui was obsessed with Ryan. The camera didn’t catch it, but she was clinging to him all night and wouldn’t let go.’
Elsewhere, fellow couple Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels looked equally smitten, arriving arm-in-arm.
Rhi, 34, turned heads in a sheer silver-grey one-shoulder mini dress with daring cut-outs across the bust and waist.
The personal assistant and fitness blogger paired the sultry frock with silver heels and a leather jacket slung over her shoulders.
Jeff, now 40, cut a dashing figure in an olive green suit, worn with an open-collar white shirt.

With his arm protectively around Rhi’s waist, the Neighbours star looked every inch the doting husband.
But it was a different story for Carina Mirabile, 31, who was spotted arriving solo following her dramatic split from Paul Antoine.
Carina wore a shimmering nude gown covered in sequins that clung to her curves and featured a thigh-high slit.
The digital marketing specialist clutched a black tote and appeared to adjust her strapless top as she walked, managing a slight smile for cameras.
Meanwhile, Dave ‘TikTok Tradie’ Hand, 37, looked relieved to be done with the drama.
The tattooed tradie flung his arms in the air while carrying a brown paper bag of takeaway.
He wore a tight olive t-shirt, black trousers and white sneakers.
His bride Jamie, who was dressed in aqua dress and a Woolworths bag in hand, trailed behind him.
‘Dave just wanted it over and done with — he was out the door as soon as filming wrapped,’ a crew member joked.

The reunion comes just days after Ryan leaked a string of embarrassing WhatsApp messages from Jacqui, sent after the Final Commitment Ceremony.
Jacqui had voted to stay in the experiment, while Ryan chose to leave — prompting a furious response from the lawyer-turned-influencer.
‘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 text read.
‘I hope you are happy with yourself.’
But just days later, after the explosive Final Temptation Task, Jacqui seemingly changed her tune — telling Ryan she’d ‘loved him since the day they met’ and even went so far as to write him a ‘Happy List’:
‘Best sex, hottest body, smart & hardworking, fit, healthy & lean.
Ps. My new thing is happy lists for you,’ she wrote, in texts Ryan later posted to Instagram.
The couple had recently completed the show’s controversial Final Task, which saw brides and grooms given the chance to meet a backup match chosen for them by the experts.

Elsewhere Teejay Halkias and Adrian Araouzou were spotted returning back to their hotel solo
Despite earlier vowing loyalty, Jacqui met her alternative suitor, Rory, 28 — and even gave him her number.
The sneaky move was never revealed to Ryan on camera, though insiders claim the truth ‘may come out’ at the reunion.
‘Ryan still has no idea she handed over her number. He genuinely thinks they’re in a good place now,’ a source says.
Back at the dinner table, the tension was palpable.
While Jacqui and Ryan were surprisingly united, things took a turn when Paul arrived without Carina. Their marriage appeared all but over following a heated clash during Final Test Week.
Elsewhere, Beth Kelly was seen holding back tears over Teejay, and Adrian and Awhina’s romance hit the rocks once more.
‘It was emotional, chaotic and messy – the perfect ending to a wild season,’ one production member tells us.
As the couples prepare for the reunion episode, all eyes will be on Jacqui and Ryan to see if their rekindled flame survives the glare of the cameras — or whether another plot twist is just around the corner.
