What did Married At First Sight Australia fans say?

And viewers were quick to call out Matt for completely “discarding” Lauren.

Taking to Twitter, one said: “Matt is making no sense, you slept with Loz and are now not a virgin then you’ve discarded her.”

How could Matthew announce to the whole world he is not attracted her without raising it with her first – he truly is a selfish, egocentric big baby

Another added: “Genuinely upset about Lauren and Matt here. I get why she picked leave she was hurting. But I feel like Matt gave up when there was so much more potential to grow.”

A third wrote: “Matt went from virgin to [bleep] boy real quick.”

A fifth commented: “I feel devastated for Lauren – how could Matthew announce to the whole world he is not attracted her without raising it with her first #MAFSAU – he truly is a selfish, egocentric big baby.”

What happened between Matt and Lauren?

Matthew was a shy virgin when he first joined the show at the age of 29.

He partnered with adventurous bride Lauren and they initially found a spark.

However, their relationship wasn’t meant to be.

Speaking to New Idea, a show insider claimed that their first time in bed was “awkward”.

“When it comes to the bedroom, she is really adventurous and open to anything, even threesomes and intimacy with the same sex.

“She’s looking for a manly man, and unfortunately Matt’s lack of experience didn’t meet her expectations.”

Meanwhile, Matthew has since moved on with new girlfriend Annabel.

Their relationship came about just weeks after he split with Lauren.
