The latest reunion episode of Married At First Sight UK delivered yet another wave of drama, highlighted by a jaw-dropping revelation from Julia-Ruth. Known for her candidness throughout the season—and openly expressing disinterest in her matched partner Divarni—Julia-Ruth’s return to the show sparked immediate tension.
Her reunion entrance was met with a chilly reception, with only Leisha and Sarah welcoming her. Igniting the room with suspense, Julia-Ruth hinted she had something significant to share: “I may have brought something with me.”
The brides were visibly shocked and pressed for details. With a knowing smile, Julia-Ruth disclosed that during her time away, she had been communicating with Steven, who was originally paired with Nelly on the show. This surprising connection began after both had left the experiment.

Notably, Julia-Ruth had identified Steven as her type during the series, and their conversations have grown to the point where they’re discussing meeting up for drinks.
Leigh, who had clashed with Julia-Ruth before, was visibly unsettled by the announcement, while Nelly was left furious. She confronted Julia-Ruth accusingly, “Your behaviour… disgusting. Have you slept with him?” Leigh reacted with shock: “What the actual f***.”
Adding further chaos, Steven Springett, Nelly’s husband, defended Julia-Ruth, stunning the room and sparking outrage among the other brides. His controversial behaviour throughout the show, including boasting about previous romantic liaisons and using the dating app Hinge, has drawn heavy criticism.
The already strained marriage between Nelly and Steven, which suffered greatly after a heated argument and subsequent period apart due to injury, shows little sign of recovery following this explosive reunion.
