MAFS’ Tahnee Cook and Ollie Skelton Announce Shock Split After 16 Months
Instagram
“MAFS” couple Tahnee Cook and Ollie Skelton have decided to call it quits after 16 months together, leaving fans in shock.
Remember the youngest couple from season 10, the ones who seemed like they walked straight out of a romance novel? Yeah, that’s them. Tahnee and Ollie got ‘married’ in a commitment ceremony and then dove headfirst into the “MAFS” experiment, complete with those infamous dinner parties and some serious heart-to-hearts with relationship counsellors.
Both Ollie and Tahnee have shared the news on Instagram.
Ollie’s Break-Up Post
“Hello, Tahnee and I have split up. It’s sad, but it’s okay. What a ride! A journey filled with love, laughter, challenges, and in the last month, reflection. I think we tried really hard to make it work,” Ollie captioned his post.
“There is such a separation from Skye Suites to real life that I think is really hard to account for and (albeit not without trying) was an adjustment that we struggled to make. I kinda have this pipe dream of us being like Jerry and Elaine from ‘Seinfeld’ post-breakup, a very hard thing to do obviously, but the sentiment at its core is that I plan to try to be someone who champions Tahnee and can be there for her as a friend.
“In a post like this, the words ‘friend’ and ‘breakup’ are usually synonymous but with little truth behind them. However, if friendship was the foundation of us before love, I like to think it might be something we can share in the aftermath. That video is from last night, so I think we’re on the right track. ❤️”
Tahnee’s Break-Up Post
In her own post, Tahnee wrote: “❤️🩹 Just as I share the highlights of my life on here, it’s only fair for me to share when things aren’t always fun. Sadly, Ollie and I have decided to part ways. Our lives are taking us in different directions and we feel at this stage it’s the best decision for us. From meeting as strangers who got ‘married’, to genuinely finding love, I’m pretty proud of the time we’ve shared. Our journey together has been such a rollercoaster but sometimes relationships just don’t work out – no matter how much you want them to – and that’s okay.
“I’m so thankful for what these last 16 months has taught me, and for the genuinely supportive community I’ve found on here. Break ups are never easy but heartbreak is worth it in the pursuit of love. Much love, Tahnee ♡”
The couple’s decision to go their separate ways comes as a shock to fans who followed their journey on “MAFS” and witnessed their connection flourish on-screen. The pair even moved in together in Sydney shortly after, with Ollie making the big move from Perth.
We hope both Tahnee and Ollie are doing okay!
