After almost three months, Married At First Sight UK came to a dramatic end this week as the final couples decided to stay together or move on
At the latest reunion ceremony, fans of the Channel 4 show were left ‘sobbing’ as Kieran and Kristina’s story came to an end in the ‘heartbreaking’ finale.
It was revealed that Kieran had left their marriage to another woman shortly after they left the E4 show.
About his relationship, Kristina told the experts, “I didn’t take it well. When I so casually heard that he was dating someone, I thought, “What did it mean to him?” because to me it meant the absolute world.’
Paul asked, “How are you two not together?”
“Kieran didn’t want me,” Christina replied bluntly.
Breaking down in tears, Kieran explained: ‘One of the reasons was that Christina reacts to a partner so often.
“I’ve been there before and it’s a trigger. I don’t have the mental capacity to comfort you because sometimes I don’t even have it for myself.’
Kristina said, “Before I came here, I bought two tickets to a festival because I thought I would come as my husband.
“Our chapter may have ended, but that doesn’t mean our story is over,” Christina added as Kieran agreed to join her as a friend.

“I’m sad that things didn’t turn out differently, but I connected with a beautiful soul and built a lifelong friendship,” he said.
Fans of the show shared their thoughts about
They shared: ‘Kieran and Kristina really break my heart, they were always meant to be in each other’s lives’; ‘One Last Time to Cry with Kristina and Kieran’; The breakup of ‘Kristina & Kieran’ is the saddest for me. I felt quite invested in them’;
‘I cried looking at Kieran and Kristina’; ‘Kristina and Kieran not exercising is the worst thing that happened on this show’; ‘I’m not crying. I’m not crying… I’m crying. I just hurt for Kristina’; ‘My heart is broken for Kristina, it really is’; “Kieran and Kristina are the best couple that never made it.”
After investing her heart and soul into the dating experiment, Kristina couldn’t hide her pain, sobbing as she was forced to confront the issue.
Kieran was accused of being dishonest after telling Kristina their relationship wouldn’t work because of his fear of commitment – before he started meeting someone new.
A TV source told MailOnline: ‘The cast were stunned to discover that Kieran had moved on so quickly after filming had happened for him and Kristina had finished.
Kieran had expressed how difficult it would be for him to start a new relationship after being betrayed by an ex-girlfriend, but he met someone new shortly after his marriage ended.
“He was very emotional seeing how Kristina was dealing with seeing a new woman as he still cares about her feelings.

“With Kieran in hysterical tears and Kristina trying her best to stay strong, the reunion episode was incredibly difficult for the former couple to film.”
An insider added: “Kieran’s post-wedding romance with Kristina ended before the reunion episode was filmed.”
Kieran’s new romance came after he and Kristina chose to leave Channel 4’s dating experiment after failing to make their marriage work.
The Geordie mechanic had expressed difficulty in dealing with Kristina’s premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a mood disorder that causes severe emotional, cognitive and physical symptoms in the run-up to menstruation.
He also said that a painful betrayal in a previous relationship, in which his ex-girlfriend slept with his best friend, left him struggling with commitment and Kristina even reminded him of his former partner.
