Keye and Davide for Married At First Sight UK 2025 / Channel 4
Married At First Sight UK favourites Keye Luke and Davide Anica have confirmed that they have split up.
The couple were one of three unions to still be going strong in the final episode of this year’s series, which aired on E4 on Friday night.
However, shortly after the episode was broadcast, Keye took to social media to admit that they had gone their separate ways after he set up a profile on gay dating app Grindr.
In a lengthy post on Instagram, Keye wrote: “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.
“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.”
Speaking about the incident, Davide told The Sun: “The night in question, 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.”
He continued: “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.”
News of the pair’s split leaves Abigail & John and Rebecca & Bailey as the only remaining couples from this year’s series.
