MAFS UK star Davide breaks his silence after husband Keye reveals shocking real reason they broke up

Married at First Sight groom Davide has had his say after TV husband Keye admitted he ‘made a terrible decision’ which ‘cost him his marriage’.

They were one of the strongest couples of MAFS UK series 10 and viewers adored watching them fall in love but, despite attending the reunion united, Davide and Keye are no longer together.

Rumours began swirling that the pair were no longer an item earlier this week, as the final episodes of the series aired, as Keye posted a cryptic Instagram statement.

Then, last night (Saturday November 15), he confirmed what fans had feared - the pair broke up shortly after filming ended. Keye took responsability for this, admitting that he had downloaded a dating app.

He wrote on his Instagram page: “In the early hours of a Sunday morning, while Davide was on a flight, I downloaded Grindr. I want to be clear that I was not looking to cheat, hook up, or find someone else. I was in a dark and fragile place and reached for something unhealthy because I did not know how else to cope. What I was seeking had nothing to do with intimacy. It was an attempt to escape emotions I could not sit with, and I reached for substances when what I really needed was support.”

Davide has taken to his own Instagram page this morning, (Sunday November 16) to share his view on what happened. In a lengthy statement, he wrote: “ My time on MAFS was honestly one of the most life-changing experiences of my life. From the start I showed up as my true self, I was vulnerable, open, and completely genuine.

“I went into the experiment with an open heart and a real hope of finding love and I did.Before the experiment I had already done a lot of work on myself, especially around my boundaries and trust. Trust has always been one of my biggest boundaries and I came into this experience knowing it was something I would never compromise again.

The night in question (this happened 5months ago), I had a gut feeling something wasn’t right. Out of my own insecurity I created a profile on Grindr to check whether Keye was on the app only to find that my gut feeling was correct.That moment was painful and it made the trust between us break in a way I couldn’t move past.

That’s why when it was broken, it was something I simply could not overcome.I won’t lie I was deeply hurt and shocked but with time, I’ve healed and found peace.Even through the pain I don’t regret being part of this journey. This experience pushed me to grow in ways I never expected. It taught me patience, communication and what it truly means to choose yourself after heartbreak.

“I don’t hold any bitterness towards Keye, he has taken accountability for his actions and I respect that.I genuinely wish him peace and happiness.Sometimes love doesn’t end the way we hope but it still leaves behind lessons that shape you for the better, for that I’ll always be grateful.”

Keye’s full statement continued: “None of this excuses my actions. I understand how it looked and I understand why it hurt. Even without sexual intentions, I crossed a line and broke trust. I hate that Davide believed I was looking for someone else, because that was never the truth.

“But I fully accept the impact. When Davide found my profile through his, it cost me my marriage. That is something I carry with me every day.I have nothing but love for him. What we shared was real, both in the experiment and in the months after. He deserves the absolute best, and I am devastated that my choices caused him pain.

“Since then, I have been doing the work; therapy, accountability, and learning healthier ways to cope, so I never return to destructive patterns. It has not been easy, but it has been necessary.Looking back, I see how lost I was. The emotions are still raw, but I am learning to face them without running, numbing, or repeating the behaviors that hurt others and myself.

“Now is not the time to unpack our relationship. What matters is acknowledging the truth, the love, the mistakes, and choosing to move forward with honesty and growth.”
