What happened between Claire and Jesse on Married at First Sight Australia?
Claire and Jesse were one of the first couples to marry on Married at First Sight Australia season ten and when they saw each other at the altar, it looked as if they were off to a promising start.
But, given Jesse's endless list of "icks", it was only a matter of time before he began feeling a bit put off by his new wife. For starters, when Claire asked about Jesse's star sign at the wedding breakfast, Jesse seemed almost instantly unimpressed, and things went from bad to worse.

Did Claire cheat on Married at First Sight Australia?
Later on in the series, things got even messier after it came to light that Claire had been getting closer with another person taking part in the experiment. Adam Seed, who was married to Janelle Han, grew close with Claire after going on a night out with his fellow cast members.
In episode eight, which aired on Thursday, Jesse accuses his wife of having secret phone calls with Adam and getting a little too comfortable with Adam in the bar.

Where are Claire and Jesse from Married at First Sight Australia now?
Claire initially denied the allegations and the pair exchanged some tense words but, in scenes that have not yet aired, they then sat down for another commitment ceremony and opened up about how to handle the situation. Jesse told the experts and his fellow contestants: "Claire cheated on me.
"I have stretched myself so much. I came into this saying that my fight or flight kicks in real quick and I'm quick to end things early on so I really stretched myself... but this comment really brought back a lot of things that I had been pushing to the side."
Eventually, the pair decided to part ways and they both decided to opt for "leave" when asked about their future on the show. It's safe to say they won't be reuniting anytime soon…
