Are Anita and Paul from MAFS UK Still Together?
Are you're wondering about Anita and Paul from this year's Married at First Sight UK - and honestly? It's giving me secondhand embarrassment just thinking about their journey. Let me spill what we actually know (spoiler alert: it's not looking great).
So here's the thing - these two were literally the last couple to walk down the aisle this season, and from minute one, you could kinda tell things were... off. Like, Anita straight-up admitted Paul wasn't her "silver fox" type. Ouch.

The Wedding Day Reality Check
Look, we've all been there where someone doesn't match your mental picture, right? But Anita was pretty brutal about it. She told the cameras Paul "wasn't the silver fox she had in mind" and that he wasn't someone she'd normally gravitate towards. Meanwhile, poor Paul was over there saying how attractive she was. Talk about being on completely different pages from day one.
The thing is, Anita was trying to be optimistic - she kept saying maybe the attraction would come later, that she wanted to give it a shot. But you could tell her heart wasn't really in it, you know?
Honeymoon in Cape Verde
Their honeymoon in Cape Verde was... well, let's just say it wasn't exactly romantic movie material. Anita got increasingly frustrated with Paul's inability to answer basic questions about what he wanted from the relationship. And here's the kicker - the guy had been single for 15 years and couldn't even explain why he signed up for the show.
When she asked if he was ready for marriage, he basically gave her a non-answer. When she asked if he was looking for love, he said he couldn't look for something he didn't understand. Like, mate, what are you even doing here? No wonder Anita was pulling her hair out.
By the end of their honeymoon, she flat-out told producers she didn't think there was hope for their marriage.
The Breaking Point
Here's where it gets really messy. When they got back to London and were supposed to move in together, Anita basically said "nah, I'm good" and refused to live in the apartment with Paul. She said he was "overwhelming" and "frantic" and that her heart sank when they arrived.
The Commitment Ceremony Drama
At their first commitment ceremony, Anita chose to leave the experiment (which, honestly, fair enough), but because Paul wanted to stay, they had to stick it out for another week. The whole thing was awkward as hell, and you could tell the other couples were cringing watching it all unfold.
Recently, Anita's been pretty vocal on Instagram about her frustrations with both Paul (her husband) AND Paul (the expert). She didn't agree with the expert's advice and said she was "drained and done" trying to build a connection with someone who was "emotionally switched off".
Are They Still Together?
Here's the honest truth - nobody really knows for sure yet. The show was filmed earlier this year, so they've definitely made their final decision by now, but they can't talk about it publicly because of show contracts.
What we do know is they're still following each other on Instagram, but that might just be contractual obligation rather than genuine interest. Paul did post a photo of their wedding day recently calling it a "lovely day" with a "lovely lady," but that feels more nostalgic than current, if you know what I mean.
Meanwhile, Anita's been thanking people on social media who say she "deserves better than Paul". That... doesn't exactly scream "we're blissfully married" to me.
