Yahoo News Married at First Sight's Ben and Stephanie reveal split
Married at First Sight couple Ben and Stephanie are set to get divorced, despite revealing on the show that they planned to stay married.
Ben has now opened up about the split after being matched on the Channel 4 show, explaining that the decision to part ways "killed me".
"Stephanie and I are still friends but I couldn't give her what she wanted and what she needed, and time is of the essence," he told FuBar Radio. "And why waste someone's time if it's not there?"
"It killed me," he added. "After the end of the show we were giving it a go, but as my mum said, you don't know someone until you've lived with them.
"It broke my heart to do what I had to do, I couldn't give someone so lovely and so nice what she wanted. She was gutted to be totally honest and she still wanted to try, but it ain't there, kiddo.
"I was thinking, 'How can you love me?' You can't play with affairs of the heart, can you."
Ben revealed that he has now moved on from Stephanie, continuing: "I've had a kiss and a cuddle. At the end of the day, it's about respect for that lady. When I was with her I gave 100 percent and she gave 110 percent back because she wanted to work on it."
The final show of the series last week told us that Ben and Stephanie were stronger than ever despite some initial problems in their marriage, even saying "I love you" to each other.
Married at First Sight airs on Channel 4.
