Warning: Married At First Sight Australia spoilers ahead.
As MAFS Australia UK fans watch the latest season unfold, we're desperate to know what couples go the distance by the end of the series.
Seeing as the show has finished airing its latest series in Australia, it is possible to do some detective work and find out who is still together. We did some research, and it doesn't look good for Carina and Paul after a blazing argument and some serious trust issues.
Here's everything we know about Carina and Paul's relationship on Married At First Sight Australia.
As the season nears its end, we've got all the goss.
Are MAFS Australia's Paul and Carina still together?
Alas, sadly not. The couple sadly split after Final Vows. Paul wrote a rather emotional post about their break up on Instagram:
"Sometimes things don’t go the way you hope, but that doesn’t take away from the beauty of the journey. Carina, I want to say how much I respect your decision and how grateful I am for the time we shared. I know I made mistakes, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt I caused.
"Despite everything, you showed grace, kindness, and strength, and I’ll always hold deep respect for you.

"You’ll forever be someone important to me, and I’ll always cherish the memories we made. Wishing you nothing but love and happiness on your journey ahead. #MAFS".
What happened on Carin and Paul's wedding day?
The couple got married on the first episode of MAFS Australia and we soon discovered that they had been on a date previously and Paul had ghosted Carina.
But even after this rather awkward discovery, both were keen to move forward with the marriage. After the ceremony, Carina said to Paul: "When I think about that time in my life, I had my walls up, we both weren't in the right head space and dealing with our past. But time has passed. You know, we both healed. We've worked on ourselves. I definitely have. So I'm good now, no hard feelings."
Paul and Carina's MAFS relationship breakdown
Various red flags presented themselves in the relationship, the first of which was when Paul punched a wall during an argument, after Carina confessed she'd been “intimate” with rapper Quavo previously. This led to Paul speaking to a professional to process his anger. “I completely lost control that day,” he said. "It's obviously, of course, unacceptable behaviour. It's not something you do, that's not how you deal with emotions and it's not how I deal with my emotions.
"I was so mad and angry at myself for reacting that way. It was also sending the wrong message to Carina. I didn't want her to feel unsafe. That's the last thing that I would want."
We also saw Paul call Carina a “snob” to fellow bride Awhina. Carina had already felt insecure about Paul spending time with Awhina, as he had dated her twin sister Cleo previously. Paul's concerns that Carina was “judgey” were due to comments she'd made about him dating Cleo, with her saying "I didn't know you'd go for that type of calibre". Ouch.
Then, when both Paul and Carina were given the chance to meet up with another match, Carina declined and Paul said yes. The date was awkward and not successful, and Paul had to break to Carina that he'd chosen to go on the date.
Ultimately, Carina chose to not continue with the marriage at Final Vows as she didn't trust her husband, even though Paul wanted to continue.
After their break-up, Paul spoke out about how he felt about it to 9Entertainment: "I wasn't blindsided at Final Vows because I was semi-anticipating Carina to say no. The reality was she was hurt, questioning my sincerity and the whole relationship."
He added: "I was heartbroken, I was sad. It was the end of a journey. My wife and the person who I had really strong feelings for didn't want to continue this relationship."
