MAFS UK star Ryan breaks silence after splitting from Sionainn and finding love with co-star
Married At First Sight UK's Ryan Livesey has broken his silence on social media after the E4 star reportedly found love with another bride after the show. The ex-semi professional footballer was married to Sionainn Carmichael, 29, on the show - however the couple dramatically left the series during Wednesday's episode and decided to end their relationship.
Earlier this week, reports emerged that Ryan had since moved on with co-star Hannah Norburn, who was paired with Stephen Nolson on the show. According to the MailOnline, Hannah and Ryan shocked their fellow cast members after turning up to the reunion hand-in-hand. Now, Ryan has spoken out about his time on the show in a new Instagram post after rumours of his romance with Hannah hit the headlines.
Writing on social media, Ryan said: "Writing this is difficult, and to be honest, I'm not sure where to begin. The process of Married at First Sight is intense and an emotional rollercoaster and I genuinely believe I tried my absolute best throughout the whole process.

"I was starting to develop real feelings and it meant a lot to hear Sionainn say she felt 'safe and comfortable' around me. This is something I truly pride myself on, not only as a man but also as a dad."
He added: "I wish things would have turned out differently but now feels like the right time for myself and Sionainn to leave the experiment and I wish her all the best for the future. I will always be grateful for the experience and the opportunity to learn and grow as a person as I continue to take these life lessons into my future."

Ryan and Sionainn left the show on Wednesday night after the makeup artist lost faith in her connection with Ryan, and revealed that he started to remind her of an ex-partner. During their time on the show, Ryan became embroiled in the breakdown of Hannah's marriage to Stephen after Hannah was accused of flirting with Ryan. She instead insisted that she was just making friendly conversation.
However, Ryan and Hannah reportedly walked into the reunion as an item. "The entire cast was left openmouthed when Hannah walked into the reunion hand in hand with Ryan," a TV insider told MailOnline. "Thankfully, Sionainn wasn't hurt by the betrayal and felt unbothered by her ex-husband moving on with someone in the cast. There's no animosity between Sionainn and Ryan and they parted on good terms."
