Tahnee And Ollie From ‘MAFS’ Have Broken Up

Pour one out because Tahnee Cook and Ollie Skelton have broken up. 

The reality TV contestants got ‘married’ during MAFS Season 10, and they were one of the most wholesome couples we’ve ever seen. We really thought they were gonna make it, but now, after Melinda Willis and Layton Mills called it quits recently, there are officially no original MAFS Season 10 couples left. 

Ollie was the first to announce the breakup, along with a cute selfie of the pair from their time on the show and a goofy TikTok dance. It’s not all bad news, because the exes are still on good terms and appear to still be close friends.

“Hello, Tahnee and I have split up. It’s sad, but it’s okay,” he wrote. “What a ride! A journey filled with love, laughter, challenges, and in the last month, reflection. I think we tried really hard to make it work.”

The groom went on to say that stepping out of their Skye Suites bubble into real life was difficult, and the pair “struggled” to adjust. 

“I kinda have this pipe dream of us being like Jerry and Elaine from Seinfeld post-breakup, a very hard thing to do obviously, but the sentiment at its core is that I plan to try to be someone who champions Tahnee and can be there for her as a friend,” he explained.

“In a post like this, the words ‘friend’ and ‘breakup’ are usually synonymous but with little truth behind them. However, if friendship was the foundation of us before love, I like to think it might be something we can share in the aftermath. That video is from last night, so I think we’re on the right track.”

MAFS’ Tahnee Cook addresses split from Ollie Skelton. 

Tahnee shared a selfie with her ex Ollie alongside a note written from her perspective. 

“Just as I share the highlights of my life on here, it’s only fair for me to share when things aren’t always fun. Sadly, Ollie and I have decided to part ways. Our lives are taking us in different directions and we feel at this stage it’s the best decision for us,” she wrote. 

“From meeting as strangers who got ‘married’ to genuinely finding love, I’m pretty proud of the time we’ve shared. Our journey together has been such a roller coaster but sometimes relationships just don’t work out – no matter how much you want them to – and that’s okay.”

“I’m so thankful for what these last 16 months has taught me, and for the genuinely supportive community I’ve found on here. Breakups are never easy but heartbreak is worth it in the pursuit of love,” she said. 

There’s proof that not all hope is lost, with Ollie immediately commenting on her post: “Wow. News to me!!!”
