Both took to Instagram to share the same statement, after Patrick unfollowed Belinda over the weekend.

“We would like to address the current rumours of our split and can confirm we’ve gone our separate ways,” the statement began.

“We have enjoyed a relationship together for over nine months, however we do not want the same things in love and life.”

Patrick and Belinda were one of the stronger couples on the 2021 season of Married at First Sight, taking their relationship slowly but often sticking up for each other at dinner parties and staying by each other’s side in dramatic moments.

The two had a few awkward moments in their time on the show, most notably during the honeymoon when Patrick tried to share a romantic bath with Belinda and quickly ruined it by clapping her feet together in a now-infamous MAFS TV moment.

The last time Patrick featured on Belinda’s Instagram was all the way back in early June.

What a day for reality TV news, fam! First Bryce and Melissa, then the announcement of Liam’s new boyfriend, and now this… what’s next, Booka and Brett reuniting for ‘Brett: version 2.0’?! We can only hope.
