Stella Mickunaite and Filip Gregov, a standout couple from the 2026 season of Married at First Sight Australia, have ended their relationship just weeks before their one-year engagement anniversary. According to reports from Daily Mail and Cosmopolitan, the pair—who were the only couple from season 13 to leave the experiment engaged—have officially parted ways and removed each other from their social media platforms.
The End of a Reality Television Success Story
Throughout the 13th season of the Australian experiment, which was filmed in late 2025 and aired in February 2026, Mickunaite and Gregov were widely characterized as a rare success story. The couple continued their relationship in the real world after the cameras stopped rolling, frequently documenting their life together on social media. Despite the public-facing stability, sources told Daily Mail that the split was not the result of a singular, explosive argument, but rather a gradual realization that the two were moving in different directions.

Public Statements and Social Media Fallout
The dissolution of the relationship became apparent to fans when the pair unfollowed one another on Instagram. Mickunaite addressed the change in a candid post on Sunday, acknowledging personal fault rather than placing blame. “It would have been easy to point fingers, protect my ego, and pretend I was perfect,” she wrote. “But I made mistakes, and I have things I regret.”
Comparison: On-Screen Perception vs. Off-Screen Reality
