MAFS Australia season 10's Melinda and Layton announce split

Relationship status: Broken up

During their wedding ceremony 32-year-old Melinda wasn't initially impressed with her husband 35-year-old Layton's looks.

However, as the series has developed the pair seem like one of the stronger couplings, though they've had a few issues such as when Melinda overheard Harrison say to Layton he thought his relationship with Melinda was "toxic".

Melinda confronted Harrison's wife Bronte about it and the pair argued, with Bronte telling Layton about the argument, leaving him unimpressed.

However, when it came to the final vow ceremony the couple opted to stay together with some very lovely vows, where they both said they were falling in love with each other.

The couple stayed together following their time on the show, often posting pictures of their lives together.

However, we now have some very bad news for you, as the couple officially announced on 11th October they are no longer together, saying they have decided to take some time apart from their relationship.

They shared the following statement on their Instagram Stories: "Hi all – we wanted to keep this private for the time being, but we have a lot of supporters that are invested in the relationship and owe it to you to be transparent.

"After a lot of thought and consideration, we have sadly decided to both take time apart 😔.

"We still care very deeply for each other and this doesn't mean our lives can't come back together, but as of now, we think this decision is for the best.

"We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for all your support throughout our journey, it has meant the world to us. We hope you can understand and ask for your kindness and respect during this time."

Sorry, but is anyone else sobbing? Here's hoping they're both doing OK following the breakup.
