Elizabeth Sobinoff finally got her happy ending with Seb Guilhaus on Monday night.
Yet some Married At First Sight fans aren’t convinced their connection is as strong as it appears on TV, and have accused the pair of putting on a show for the cameras.
Here are all the signs Lizzie and Seb could be ‘faking it’ for publicity – although it’s important to remember the couple insist their relationship is 100 per cent genuine.
Do you buy it? Elizabeth Sobinoff finally got her happy ending with Seb Guilhaus on Monday’s episode of Married At First Sight – but some fans aren’t convinced by their fairytale love story
PUTTING ON A SHOW IN PUBLIC?
Usually when Married At First Sight airs, any couples that have stayed together are rarely spotted in public to prevent spoilers leaking.
But in March alone, Liz and Seb were pictured at a music festival in Melbourne, a race day in Adelaide and having lunch in Sydney.
They were also spotted ‘getting keys cut’ at a busy shopping centre near Elizabeth’s home in Newcastle just days after their wedding aired on March 2.

MISERABLE AT SECOND SIGHT?
While filming the show last year, Liz and Seb mostly looked miserable when the cameras weren’t rolling.
On November 25, they were pictured returning to their apartment building in Sydney’s CBD separately, choosing to spend their downtime alone.
A source told Daily Mail Australia: ‘They were one of the most elusive couples throughout production and rarely went out together.
‘All of the other participants would hang out in the city when they weren’t filming, but Elizabeth and Seb were rarely spotted outside of the apartment building.’

LIZ’S BIG INSTAGRAM BOOST
Since returning to the show, Liz’s Instagram following has skyrocketed.
After her first season ended last year, she was losing up to 700 followers a day as the public moved on, according to analytics website Social Blade.
But in recent weeks, she has been gaining thousands of new fans each day.
It’s believed Liz left her job as a jewellery store manager last year to become a full-time influencer, which is why her job description on TV is ‘Returning MAFS bride’.
She will now be able to charge thousands more per sponsored post following her surge in popularity.

SHARING THEIR OWN SPOILERS
Before Liz and Seb’s wedding even aired, fans had guessed they were still together.
After filming wrapped in December, the pair often shared photos on Instagram of themselves at the same locations and at the same time of day.
Although they never tagged or showed each other in their posts, the pictures proved they were spending time together and presumably still a couple.

PRESSURE TO BE THE ONLY FAIRYTALE ENDING?
If Liz and Seb hadn’t joined MAFS as intruders, this year’s season would have had no successful couples.
Daily Mail Australia understands they were drafted in to try and salvage the show.
‘After a few weeks of filming, producers realised none of the couples would stay together and they desperately needed at least one happy ending,’ a source said.
‘It’s as if all their hopes of salvaging the entire season were riding on Elizabeth – which would have put a lot of pressure on her to make things with Seb work.’
