JACQUI & CLINT WE'RE READY FOR BABIES

The re-coupled pair reveal why they are a real match made in heaven

- 

They shocked their fellow participants and the experts when they entered the reunion dinner party as a couple on Sunday night. But for Married At First Sight's Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice, there’s absolutely zero regrets.

“We're so happy, we got what we wanted!” Jacqui, 29, gushes to Woman's Day.

“We went on the show for love and we found it!”

AN ACTUAL MATCH

The pair reveal that they first began texting during the experiment after Clint and his wife Lauren Hall called time on their marriage. And while Jacqui’s husband Ryan Donnelly claims otherwise, their exchanges remained platonic until around “a week and a half” after they filmed their final vows.

Texts turned into lengthy calls and soon Jacqui was on a flight out to see Clint at his home in Tasmania. “I had gone back to work but I was emotionally distressed. So I left my job and decided to come visit Clint instead,” says Jacqui.

“I definitely thought that he was marriage material, but we didn’t know if we were going to click. We didn’t speak much in the experiment and we've got a 14-year age gap, so it was nerve-wracking to see whether or not we would actually work. But as soon as I got down there, sparks flew and we knew straight away,” she adds.

“Literally on the car ride home [from the airport] we could just tell,” Clint, 43, says.

“And then we got home, had a drink and it was like, ‘wow, we actually are here together.’ You know when you have this feeling and energy with someone, you just know you're on the same wavelength?”
