💍 “We’re Not Rushing It!” – MAFS Stars Eliot Donovan and Jamie Marinos Finally Break Silence on Engagement Rumours
The couple everyone’s 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, there’s no ring just yet.
> “We’ve seen all the DMs and tags it’s honestly flattering,” Jamie laughed. “But no, we’re not engaged… not yet.”
Eliot added, “People want a fairytale ending, and we get it. But we’re focused on building something real off-camera. That’s more important than rushing into something because the internet wants it.”
🔥 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.
> “It was styled for a shoot, and I didn’t even think twice about wearing it out later,” Jamie explained. “Didn’t know it would set off a media storm!”
❤️ Still Going Strong Post-MAFS
Despite the chaotic nature of the experiment, Eliot and Jamie have emerged as one of Season 11’s 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 they’re learning to navigate it together.
> “We’re not playing by anyone’s timeline,” Eliot said. “When the time feels right, you’ll be the first to know.”
đź’¬ Fans React
While some fans admitted they were “low-key devastated” to hear there’s no engagement yet, many praised the couple for taking things slow and prioritising authenticity.
> “I love that they’re not doing it for clout,” one fan commented.
“Real love doesn’t need a deadline,” 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:
> “Let’s just say… I’m a sucker for surprises.”
Looks like fans will just have to keep watching and refreshing Instagram.
