đ âWeâre Not Rushing It!â â MAFS Stars Eliot Donovan and Jamie Marinos Finally Break Silence on Engagement Rumours
The couple everyoneâs been watching just addressed the elephant in the room.
After weeks of speculation and mounting fan theories, Married at First Sight Australia stars Eliot Donovan and Jamie Marinos have finally broken their silence on those swirling engagement rumours and their response might surprise you.
In a joint Instagram Live on Saturday night, the couple spoke candidly about the speculation, revealing that while their relationship is stronger than ever, thereâs no ring just yet.
> âWeâve seen all the DMs and tags itâs honestly flattering,â Jamie laughed. âBut no, weâre not engaged⌠not yet.â
Eliot added, âPeople want a fairytale ending, and we get it. But weâre focused on building something real off-camera. Thatâs more important than rushing into something because the internet wants it.â
đĽ The Rumours Started With That Ring
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice Jamie sporting a sparkly diamond ring in a series of recent Instagram stories, leading to a frenzy of speculation. But as it turns out, the ring was a piece borrowed from a shoot with a local jewellery brand.
> âIt was styled for a shoot, and I didnât even think twice about wearing it out later,â Jamie explained. âDidnât know it would set off a media storm!â
â¤ď¸ Still Going Strong Post-MAFS
Despite the chaotic nature of the experiment, Eliot and Jamie have emerged as one of Season 11âs most solid couples. From their emotional vow renewal to moving in together just months after filming wrapped, their bond has only grown stronger.
The couple admits that the pressure from fans and tabloids has been intense, but theyâre learning to navigate it together.
> âWeâre not playing by anyoneâs timeline,â Eliot said. âWhen the time feels right, youâll be the first to know.â
đŹ Fans React
While some fans admitted they were âlow-key devastatedâ to hear thereâs no engagement yet, many praised the couple for taking things slow and prioritising authenticity.
> âI love that theyâre not doing it for clout,â one fan commented.
âReal love doesnât need a deadline,â another added.
So⌠Will There Be a Proposal Soon?
Neither Eliot nor Jamie confirmed when they might get engaged, but Jamie did drop one cryptic hint before ending the Live:
> âLetâs just say⌠Iâm a sucker for surprises.â
Looks like fans will just have to keep watching and refreshing Instagram.
