The MAFS UK 2025 cast may have left the experiment behind, but most of the contestants did not leave single for long. While only a couple of couples have lasted beyond the show, many stars have moved on and publicly introduced new partners. Over the past weeks, several cast members have “hard-launched” romances on social media, and others quietly confirmed relationships away from the cameras.
Where things stood after the finale and reunion
The show aimed to create lasting partnerships, but reality had other plans. Abi and John remain one of the few success stories to come out of the series. For the rest, the end of filming sparked fresh dating chapters and public reveals.

Davide has been at the centre of a very public split and back-and-forth with Keye. Recently he posted footage from a spa outing that ended with an embrace in a hot tub. That final clip acted as his reveal.
He has shared a handful of short videos featuring the same man, but has not named him. The choice to stay anonymous seems intentional, perhaps to avoid more media attention.
- Posts were filmed at a spa and included the pool and sauna.
- Keye publicly commented on the timing of Davide’s new relationship.

Maeve’s romance: a new man with a bold tattoo
After a tumultuous post-show period, Maeve posted a story showing a romantic dinner with a new partner. The snapshot included a visible tattoo on his arm.
