MAFS UK’s Peggy Rose has revealed that she split from Georges Berthonneau just days after the couple revealed their plans to get married for real and have children (pictured on January 23).
The couple went through a turbulent journey on the E4 show, almost breaking up several times before deciding to stay together at the final commitment ceremony.
Now, three months after the show ended, Peggy has revealed she has split from Georges and candidly admits the impact it has had on her mental health.
Peggy continued: “It’s taken a toll on my mental health and it’s taken me weeks to come to terms with it, but as it’s Valentine’s Day I can’t pretend I’m okay.”
She closed the post by thanking her followers for everything they have done for them since they rose to fame on Married At First Sight.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported us and our journey…No one is more upset about this than me x.”
It comes just days after the couple revealed they were planning to get married in real life after meeting on the Channel 4 show.
The pair were paired by the expert for the experiment last year, but went through a rough patch during the series.
Georges struggled with the lack of physical intimacy he received from Peggy, and the couple did not sleep together on the show.
Meanwhile, Peggy struggled with her family doubting their romance.
After a cliffhanger in the Final Vows episode, Peggy recounted how she trusted Georges to “prove everyone who doubted you wrong.”
She said: ‘This is by far the most important decision of my life. My family wants the best for me, and family and respect for me are everything. They want me to be happy and put myself first. As much as I would like to trust you, trust for me is something that is earned.
‘I may not trust easily, but I trust myself. And I also trust that you will prove everyone who doubted you wrong. So my decision is to stay and continue our story together.”
The couple recently revealed that they were looking to take their relationship to the next stage by getting married for real and starting a family.
However, in recent weeks the couple seemed stronger than ever, as they recently revealed that they were looking to take their relationship to the next stage by getting engaged and starting a family.
Georges said Near magazine in an interview published last week: ‘The plan is to have children. Obviously we have to stay together, live together and commit.
‘She lives at home, I live at mine. She would have him move in with me, but she has so many things.
The couple previously sparked fears their romance was over when they were noticeably absent from social media last year, but took to Instagram to confirm they were stronger than ever in November last year.
Peggy wrote: ‘CONFIRMED: We are still together! We refrained from sharing and stifling social media to give ourselves the much-needed quality time after the end of the show.
‘Even though we are in a relationship, we still have our own identity and individuality; That’s what makes us so strong.
“As cliché as it may seem, we want to thank you all for your patience; it hasn’t been easy, but sharing our journey with you means a lot as your continued love and support means everything to us.”
