The tension — which built throughout the season — has now spilled over into real life, leaving viewers divided between #TeamRebecca and #TeamApril.

Rebecca and April’s MAFS UK Friendship Ends in an Instagram Unfollow

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Rebecca and April have unfollowed each other, a clear sign that their friendship didn’t survive the experiment.

The pair were never the closest during filming, but their dynamic turned frosty during Couple Swap Week, when Rebecca (who was matched with Bailey) offered some tough love to April’s groom Leo.

Rebecca told Leo:

“I worry how far that’s gonna go because she is your dream woman. And if there’s no potential in this relationship from April’s point of view, then you need to back off — you’re going to get yourself hurt.”

The comment caused waves both inside the experiment and online. Viewers quickly took sides — and it seems Rebecca and April haven’t spoken since.

Fans Accuse April of “Gaslighting” Leo After the Split

Following April and Leo’s exit just before the final vows, social media exploded with opinions. Many MAFS UK viewers accused April of gaslighting Leo, who had become a fan favourite for his emotional honesty and kindness.

One fan posted:

“Leo is a lovely guy. April is gaslighting him. She’s not attracted to him anymore and he deserves better.”

Another added:

“She’s 100% gaslighting him. Leo is such a good man, he’s trying so hard.”

Others agreed, with one viewer bluntly writing:

“April is a massive gaslighter. It’s funny how these weren’t issues when she was sleeping with him.”

The comments section quickly flooded with sympathy for Leo, and the hashtag #JusticeForLeo began trending on X (formerly Twitter), proving just how emotionally invested the audience remains.

Inside April and Leo’s Short-Lived Married at First Sight UK Romance

April and Leo joined MAFS UK 2025 two weeks late as intruders, instantly grabbing attention with their electric chemistry at the altar. Their wedding scenes suggested a strong start, but cracks formed soon after.

By the halfway point, fans began noticing April pulling back while Leo kept fighting for their relationship. During one commitment ceremony, Leo admitted:

“We’ve got a lot of work — well, I’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Despite his efforts, their romance fizzled before the finale, and the couple decided to quit the experiment days before the final vows. The fallout — both emotional and public — has since become one of the biggest talking points of the season.

Where Do Rebecca and April Stand Now?

Since filming wrapped, both women have gone their separate ways. Rebecca has focused on her growing online following, sharing motivational posts and behind-the-scenes clips from her MAFS UK journey.

April, on the other hand, has kept a low profile — limiting comments on her posts and staying silent about the drama. Neither has addressed the social media unfollow, but fans believe it’s confirmation that the friendship is officially over.

“The unfollow says everything,” one fan wrote. “You can tell when a MAFS friendship is done.”

What to Expect at the MAFS UK Reunion 2025

The upcoming Married at First Sight UK Reunion promises major fireworks. With April, Rebecca, and Leo all expected to attend, fans are eager to see whether the brides will confront each other face-to-face — or keep their distance.

Given the intensity of this season’s storylines, the reunion could easily become the most explosive one yet.

Whether it’s love, heartbreak, or unfinished business — one thing’s for sure: this MAFS UK feud is far from over.
