Right, let’s find out what actually happened between Ryan and Sionainn on MAFS UK 2024

Where’s the camera crew when you need them?!


Sionainn and Ryan seemed to be a perfect match for each other when they joined MAFS UK 2024 as intruder couples. But, very quickly, things went sour and they left the experiment without revealing the true reason why. People have speculated as to what went down between them, and the MAFS UK 2024 reunion saw Sionainn and Ryan being very cold towards each other. It didn’t help that Ryan walked in with Hannah by his side, but it’s obvious there’s some hidden drama that we don’t know about. So, here’s all the juicy details behind their split and everything we know so far.

What we saw on the show

On the show, Sionainn and Ryan had a bit of a rocky start. Ryan was very pleased with who he was meeting but Sionainn was pretty sceptical after he reminded her of an ex-boyfriend.

They soon bonded after Sionainn learned more about Ryan including his son and his past with cancer. They then went on their honeymoon and Ryan told Sionainn how much he liked her.

What happened behind closed doors?

The rest of their journey was mostly smooth sailing with just one little argument between them at the retreat. However, during the October 23rd episode of MAFS, the two left the experiment after an explosive row off camera.

“I’m leaving boys,” Ryan told the other grooms. “We’ve had a proper argument and I was trying to do my laces. I was trying to retie my laces and it was getting on my nerves. So Shannon was trying to help me. So I said, ‘oh, just leave him, just leave them now’ And she said, ‘oh, don’t speak to me like that’. She said to me she doesn’t feel comfortable in the relationship and she doesn’t know if I’m here for a genuine reason.”

So, it all stemmed from an argument about shoelaces, which couldn’t have been the main reason they broke up.

Shannon explained to the girls: “He just spoke to me really, really poorly. And I said, ‘Ryan don’t speak to me like that. You’re not going to speak to me like s**t’. And it just flipped. He decided to tell me that none of his feelings had ever been real. He’d been faking it all. It was all a holiday romance for him.” Absolute chaos!

What they said on social media

In his emotional statement, he wrote that felt he’d tried his “absolute best throughout the whole process” and was “starting to develop real feelings” for Sionainn.

“I wish things would have turned out differently but now feels like the right time for myself and Sionainn to leave the experiment and I wish her all the best for the future. I will always be grateful for the experience and the opportunity to learn and grow as a person as I continue to take these life lessons into my future,” he finished.

Sionainn kept quiet about the departure and didn’t share anything on her social media.

The reunion proved they weren’t on good terms

At the reunion, we got a little more insight into where the couple stand now. Ryan caused carnage by walking in with Hannah, but Sionainn didn’t seem too distraught. Then, when asked by the other grooms if he’d spoken to her since they left the show, he told them they hadn’t said a word to each other.

The experts noted that Ryan seemed really “hurt” by the way they’d left things. It was clear to see there was a lot more he wanted to say, especially when the honesty box came around. Ryan was asked if there was anything he wished he had told Sionainn before they left the experiment, and he replied “absolutely nothing.” It’s clear these two are NOT on good terms.

So, what’s the verdict?

Will we ever truly get to the bottom of what happened? No, but it sounds like Sionainn and Ryan needed to go their separate ways. Whatever happened, I truly wish them both the best and every future happiness.
