Married At First Sight’s Booka Nile and Brett Helling’s relationship fell apart during Wednesday night’s explosive dinner party.
And it seems the couple weren’t able to reconcile after their argument, as they kept their distance from one another while filming the show’s reunion last month.
Booka and Brett, both 31, each arrived in Sydney separately and were housed at different hotels – which all but confirms they’re not together.

Meanwhile, Brett mostly kept to himself, arriving for the dinner party and reunion cocktail party solo.

‘There’s only one thing I wish I had said, looking back, I wish in that I moment I’d said sorry to Booka because I think that would have made all the difference,’ he said.

During the episode, Booka explained that she wanted Brett to take accountability for speaking negatively about her to Patrick behind her back.
Booka told the group at the dinner party: ‘This whole relationship I have been the bad person. He has been the good person.’
‘I’m over being the problem. I’m done, I’m just done,’ she said, to which Brett replied: ‘We’re both exhausted. Nothing works, we’ve both tried. It just goes nowhere.’
Brett later told producers he was tired and didn’t see a future with Booka.
