Jacqui and Clint have lived a lifetime in just a few months!

Season 12 of Married At First Sight has officially ended Down Under and on E4, but we’re still not quite over everything that happened on the show, and after.

This season was wild, from all the feuds, to the wild dinner parties, and couple swaps, including the biggest shocker of them all – Clint and Jacqui’s engagement.

Speaking of Jacqui and Clint…

The couple have been super active since filming for the show ended.

Jacqui now lives at Clint’s Tasmanian home, and they’ve been defending their relationship left, right and centre.

Read on for a detailed timeline on what they’ve been up to since the show ended.

November 2024 – Jacqui and Clint get together

Shortly after filming wrapped on season 12, Jacqui and Clint got together.

Ryan claimed that they’d been speaking from before the show ended and brought this up at the reunion.

In an interview with Daily Mail Australia, he said: “She admitted to me one night, she’s like, ‘After one night when I was really upset, I actually called Clint at 3am’. They had a conversation over the phone about her being so upset with the experiment, with me, with Rhi, with everything.”

He continued: “My suspicions ended up being confirmed. After that, I was like, ‘You’ve made a joke of our time here.’ Literally,” he added. “I could’ve taken the whole bitter, jaded side and been like, ‘Oh, you were messaging him while we were still together.’ Which is true.”

Nevertheless, a producer told Yahoo! that Clint and Jacqui “grew close towards the end of filming but didn’t get together until after the season wrapped”.

Jacqui relocated to Tasmania in early February and has since moved in with Clint at his stunning home in Riverside, accompanied by their two Samoyeds

Jacqui can often be seen making social media content from the palatial property, which has its own tennis court.

In March 2025, Jacqui revealed that she’d left her corporate job at a high-end law firm in New South Wales, saying that people’s opinion of her on the show had left her stressed to work “for at least two years.”

“I essentially left my job after I tried to go back to work because I was mentally distressed and couldn’t work. I’ve been unable to continue my career… I’ve been left to fend on my own, basically,” she told Sky.

The same month, Clint made a dig at Ryan. In a video posted to his social media account, the 44-year-old was seen strolling around his Tasmanian estate. He then looked proudly at his $200,000 Porsche Macan and captioned the clip: “POV: He wanted to be great.”

Clint was making a reference to a moment in season 12 when Jacqui asked Ryan why he didn’t want to be “great”.

Since leaving the show, the couple have been very vocal. As well as the their ongoing issues with Ryan, Jacqui’s had some back and forth with Awhina Rutene, after Awhina said that her husband Adrian Araouzou would have been “better matched” with Jacqui.

The couple are also said to have fallen out with Katie Johnstone, who is friends with former MAFS star and The Honesty Box host Lucinda Light. Lucinda shared her support for Ryan on her Instagram, and Jacqui and Clint both contacted her to tell her why she shouldn’t do that, amid Jacqui’s ongoing legal battle with Ryan.

Lucinda removed the post, but according to Katie, their response “triggered a clap back, dragging Lu down, pulling me into it”.

Katie added that she didn’t understand where their beef had come from because she reached out to the couple after their engagement and told them to visit her.

She added: “She’s [Jacqui] accusing me of tax fraud and theft, and that’s just such a crazy thing to do given that I had to liquidate because of Covid. I lost everything during Covid.

“The superannuation I’m paying off, which I’ve almost paid off by the way, is on a payment plan so there’s no fraud there, it’s insanity.”

April 2025 – Engagement

Clint proposed to Jacqui during a viewing party for Married At First Sight Australia in Sydney. The event was attended by approximately 150 fans and fellow cast members.

“I know we signed up for MAFS to get married and find a life-long partner. So I’ve got one question for you,” Clint said, before popping the question. Jacqui accepted the proposal with a heartfelt “Yes!”

The ring? Clint presented Jacqui with a custom-made 5.08-carat oval diamond solitaire ring set in platinum and 18ct yellow gold, valued at approximately $30,000 (£22,000).

Later that month, Jacqui responded to rumours she’s expecting a baby.

“No, we are not expecting and I am not pregnant!’ she wrote in the caption over the top of her fan message.

“The media have been inaccurate on a lot and I don’t have time to see it all, but they should really fact check on these things when it comes to this because I know it’s a sensitive topic for a lot.

“Come to me for the facts about my body, and Clint and I for our relationship news.”

In May, Jacqui and Clint revealed that they want to start a family.

During an Instagram Story Q&A session with fans, the couple were asked about their wedding plans. Jacqui then revealed that they’re hoping to tie the knot next year and are already talking babies.

“We haven’t set a wedding date yet, but we’re hoping it will be between January and March next year,’ she said as the couple sat on their couch together in Clint’s lavish Tasmanian home,” she said in the video.

“We’re actually ready for kids and babies. Personally, I want to get married before I get pregnant. I don’t want to be dealing with the drama of being pregnant and having a wedding dress be altered throughout my pregnancy. We’re very keen to get married ASAP.”

In a recent interview, Clint revealed that he fancied Jacqui before he married Lauren Hall on MAFSAU.

As he was a late entrant to the show, Clint got to see the other relationships that had already formed and Jacqui caught his eye straight away.

Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, he said: “Being an intruder going into the show, my audition was still happening when the original couples were actually already married. So I saw a few spoilers of who were the brides and grooms were and I did look through them.

“And right even then, Jacqui caught my attention. I obviously was going to get married to someone else I didn’t know so I was fully focused on my relationship in the experiment. But to be honest, when I saw the line up before I went in there, that was when Jacqui first got my attention for sure.”

Jacqui said she got “really good vibes” when she first met Clint, and loved that he was the complete opposite to all the other guys in the experiment.

“It was like this, this guy’s cool. Like I was surrounded by people who are very extra and extroverted and outspoken. And Clint came into the experiment like modest, humble, like down to earth and had a very cool, collected, calm aura about him,” she added.

Cute!
