Married at First Sight never fails to captivate audiences with its whirlwind romances, shocking betrayals, and surprising love stories. This season, one couple that had fans buzzing was Lauren Hall and Clint Rice. Following Lauren’s tumultuous first marriage to Eliot Donovan during the experiment, viewers were eager to see if she would finally find lasting love with Clint. But did their relationship stand the test of time?
If you’re curious whether Lauren and Clint are still together in 2025, stay tuned—we’ve got all the details on their journey after the show!
A Challenging Beginning: Did Lauren’s Past Impact Their Relationship?
As Lauren embarked on her second chance at Married at First Sight, she brought with her the emotional weight of her past marriage to Eliot. Determined not to make the same mistakes, she set firm boundaries from the start. While Clint was enthusiastic about creating a fresh start together, it was clear that Lauren remained cautious, keeping her guard up.
The couple faced an early hurdle on their wedding day when Lauren confessed she didn’t believe in vows—a revelation that hardly set the stage for a storybook romance. However, Clint took it in stride, showing empathy rather than alarm. As the ceremony progressed, Lauren shared more about her past, and Clint’s compassionate response to her history with Eliot began to break down her walls.
But would his patience endure? And, more importantly, could Lauren truly leave her past behind and embrace a future with Clint?
The Infamous Ranking Task: A Storm on the Horizon?
Lauren and Clint faced their first major challenge during the infamous photo ranking exercise—a task that has a track record of stirring up insecurities and testing even the most solid relationships. If you’re a longtime MAFS fan, you know this activity rarely ends without drama, and for Lauren and Clint, it was no exception.
Lauren was taken aback when Clint ranked Jacqui higher than she expected, citing his admiration for her ambition. Never one to shy away from honesty, Lauren openly disagreed with his choice, even remarking that she would have ranked Morena—the oldest bride of the season—above Jacqui.
To Clint, it was nothing more than a harmless exercise. But for Lauren, it struck a nerve, dredging up painful memories of how she was treated in her past marriage to Eliot. The tension was undeniable, but Clint quickly smoothed things over by reassuring her—ultimately placing Lauren at the top of his list. Crisis averted… for now.
The Ex Factor: Eliot’s Return Shakes Things Up
Just as Lauren and Clint were finding their rhythm, Eliot made a dramatic return to the show—and it was far from a peaceful reunion.
During a tense group dinner, Clint wasted no time confronting Eliot about how he had treated Lauren in the past. As expected, Eliot showed zero remorse, deflecting responsibility and even making sarcastic remarks about Lauren’s memory, blaming it on “too many margaritas.”
Despite the emotional weight of the moment, Lauren stood her ground, refusing to let Eliot’s words shake her. Meanwhile, Clint’s unwavering defense of her was a game-changer. Seeing him stand up for her so passionately reinforced just how different he was from her ex.
Commitment Ceremony: A Defining Moment
With emotions running high, the first Commitment Ceremony became a crucial turning point for Lauren and Clint. Would the drama push them apart, or had they built something strong enough to last?
Turns out, they were more in sync than ever. Both chose to stay in the experiment, solidifying their commitment to making their marriage work.
Lauren beamed, saying, “Clint has all the qualities I look for in a husband. I feel like we have each other’s backs.”
Clint, equally enamored, added, “She ticks a lot of boxes. [Lauren is] also the most stunning person in the room.”
It certainly seemed promising—but would their connection withstand the challenges beyond the experiment?
Are Lauren and Clint Still Together in 2025?
Now, for the big question: Are Lauren and Clint still together today?
As of 2025, the answer is no. While their MAFS journey had its heartfelt moments, real-life obstacles ultimately led to their split.
Insiders close to the couple revealed that a mix of distance and lifestyle differences played a significant role in their breakup. Despite initially bonding over shared values—stability, love, and the idea of having just one child—their long-term visions didn’t align as well as they had hoped.
- Clint, a successful business owner and former pro golfer, was ready for a settled, slower-paced lifestyle. Lauren, on the other hand, was still figuring out exactly what she wanted in a partner.
- Having already experienced heartbreak, Lauren struggled with trust and fully letting Clint in.
- Post-show fame added pressure, making it difficult for them to maintain their connection while in the public eye.
Are They on Good Terms?
The silver lining? Unlike many MAFS breakups, Lauren and Clint remain amicable. Both have spoken highly of each other in interviews, with Lauren stating:
“Clint is an amazing guy, and I have nothing but respect for him. Sometimes, things just don’t work out, and that’s okay.”
Clint echoed similar sentiments, admitting:
“Lauren and I gave it our all. I still think she’s an incredible woman, but we realized we were better as friends.”
What’s Next for Lauren and Clint?
Though their marriage didn’t go the distance, both have moved forward in positive ways:
- Lauren has been focusing on herself and is rumored to be dating someone outside the MAFS circle.
- Clint has returned to his business and has been spotted on dating apps, signaling that he’s ready to find love again.
Did MAFS Get It Right?
While the experts aimed to match Lauren with someone who met her emotional needs, love doesn’t always unfold as expected. Despite their chemistry, mutual respect, and strong foundation, their relationship simply wasn’t built to last.
That said, it’s reassuring to see that both Lauren and Clint walked away from the experience with valuable lessons—and no hard feelings.
