Married At First Sight Australia star Scott McCristal has finally spoken out about the end of his marriage to Gia Fleur, revealing the emotional toll of their relationship. The couple, who were paired by experts in the 2026 experiment, split after Gia discovered lingerie photos of an ex-girlfriend on Scott's phone and he refused to delete them.
Appearing on the after show MAFS: After The Dinner Party, Scott became tearful as he described his efforts to make the marriage work. 'When I go in I give them my world. I would sit where she was getting her makeup done and sit there until she was finished. I would take her away every weekend. I never let her pay for a cent. I would nurture her,' he said.
He added: 'And she would just go off at me for nothing and I would say okay. I just copped so much s***. And I just tried so hard to make it work because I can see the good in everyone. No matter how bad she could be I just tried.'
Gia has since confirmed the split and explained her reasoning to Nine Australia. 'People are saying "What's the problem? They're just photos". But they were actually lingerie photos. I felt it was disrespectful to keep those kinds of photos of your ex when you're in a relationship,' she said. She questioned whether Scott 'still had feelings for her' after he refused to delete them, adding: 'For him to act like these photos were more important than all the other things we were doing, it was like what the hell?'
The couple's relationship also faced strain during friends and family week, after Scott laughed at insensitive questions from his pals. Gia has since moved on and is reportedly 'so in love' with another Australian TV star, breaking show rules by confirming the split before the episodes aired.
