Married at First Sight has a way of keeping us hooked season after season with its rollercoaster romances, surprise betrayals, and unexpected love stories. And one couple that had fans talking this season was none other than Lauren Hall and Clint Rice. After Lauren’s disastrous first marriage on the experiment with Eliot Donovan, everyone was rooting for her to find lasting love with Clint. But did they actually make it?
If you’re wondering whether Lauren and Clint have beaten the odds and are still together in 2025, keep reading because we’ve got all the tea on their post-show journey!
A Rocky Start: Did Lauren’s Past Affect Their Relationship?
Coming into her second attempt at MAFS, Lauren carried a lot of emotional baggage from her previous marriage to Eliot. She made it clear from the start that she wasn’t about to let history repeat itself. While Clint was eager to build something new, it was obvious that Lauren had her guard up.
The couple had a bumpy start on their wedding day when Lauren admitted she didn’t believe in vows. That revelation didn’t exactly scream “fairy-tale beginning,” but Clint seemed understanding. As the ceremony continued, Lauren opened up about her past, and Clint’s compassionate reaction to her history with Eliot won her over.
But would his patience last? And more importantly, could Lauren fully let go of her past and embrace a future with Clint?

The Infamous Ranking Task: Trouble in Paradise?
One of the first real tests for Lauren and Clint came during the notoriously controversial photo ranking challenge. If you’ve watched MAFS before, you know this exercise has a history of exposing deep-seated insecurities and shaking up even the strongest couples.
Lauren was left stunned when Clint placed Jacqui higher than expected, saying he found her ambition attractive. Not one to hold back, Lauren made it clear she did not agree with his choice, even saying she’d put Morena, the oldest bride of the season, ahead of Jacqui.
For Clint, this was just an innocent ranking exercise. But for Lauren, it felt like a slap in the face—especially after the way she was treated by Eliot in her previous marriage. The tension was real, but Clint quickly reassured her by placing her at the top of his list. Crisis averted… for now.
The Ex Factor: Eliot Returns to Stir the Pot
Just when things seemed to be settling down for Lauren and Clint, Eliot made his dramatic return to the show. And let’s just say, it was anything but peaceful.
At a group dinner, Clint wasted no time confronting Eliot about the way he had treated Lauren. Eliot, as expected, showed zero remorse, brushing off any accountability and even making snarky comments about Lauren’s memory, blaming it on “too many margaritas.”
Lauren, visibly upset, stood her ground, while Clint continued to call out Eliot’s behavior. This was a defining moment for Lauren—seeing Clint defend her with such passion made her realize just how different he was from her ex.
Commitment Ceremony: The First Big Decision
With tensions high and emotions running wild, the first Commitment Ceremony was a moment of truth for Lauren and Clint. Would the drama push them apart, or had they built something strong enough to move forward?
Turns out, they were more aligned than ever. Both Lauren and Clint chose to stay in the experiment, reinforcing their commitment to making their marriage work.
Lauren gushed, “Clint has all the qualities that I look for in a husband. I feel like we have each other’s backs.”
Clint, equally smitten, added, “She ticks a lot of boxes. [Lauren is] also the most stunning person in the room.”
Sounds promising, right? But was it enough to last beyond the experiment?
Are Lauren and Clint Still Together in 2025?
Now, onto the burning question: Are Lauren and Clint still together today?
As of 2025, Lauren and Clint are no longer together. While their journey on MAFS was filled with sweet moments, it seems that the real world brought challenges they couldn’t overcome.
What Went Wrong?
According to sources close to the couple, distance and lifestyle differences played a huge role in their breakup. While they both initially bonded over wanting the same things—stability, love, and even having just one child—their long-term goals didn’t align as well as they thought.
- Clint, a successful business owner and former pro golfer, wanted a slower, more settled lifestyle, while Lauren was still navigating what she truly wanted in a partner.
- Lauren, having already been burned in love once, struggled with trust and fully letting Clint in.
- The stress of post-show fame also added pressure, as the couple found it difficult to maintain their connection while being in the public eye.
Are They on Good Terms?
The good news? Unlike some past MAFS couples, Lauren and Clint have no bad blood. They’ve both spoken highly of each other in interviews, with Lauren saying:
“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?
While Lauren and Clint’s marriage didn’t go the distance, both seem to be doing well post-show.
- Lauren has been focusing on herself and is rumored to be dating someone new outside the MAFS circle.
- Clint has gone back to his business and has been spotted on dating apps, hinting that he’s ready to give love another shot.
Did MAFS Get It Right?
While the experts did their best to match Lauren with someone who met her emotional needs, sometimes love just doesn’t work out the way we expect. Lauren and Clint had great chemistry, undeniable respect for one another, and a strong foundation—but at the end of the day, they just weren’t meant to be.
That being said, we’re glad to see that they both walked away from the experience with lessons learned and no hard feelings.
