MAFS UK’s Kieran says he has ‘no regrets’ about quitting show in ‘brutal’ statement on Kristina
MARRIED At First Sight star Kieran has insisted that he has “no regrets” about quitting the show and dumping wife Kristina.
The pair, who said ‘I Do’ just moments after meeting, left the experiment during last night’s instalment of the E4 show.
Kieran admitted he would struggle to give Kristina the best version of himself and said he found it hard dealing with her PMDD.
Following his exit, Kieran took to Instagram to address the breakup and revealed why he saw no future with their marriage.
He posted a series of snaps with the dog-walker and wrote: “Tonight me and Kristina left the experiment. Is there a better wife on this series that I could have been matched with? No.”
But he insisted: “Do I regret letting Kristina go? No.”
Kieran tried to explain his savage remark by saying: “This sounds brutal, I know.. but I wasn’t the man for Kristina, and she deserves someone to put her on a pedestal.
“Someone who can give their whole self to her, someone who can support her through the highs and lows. But I’m afraid that just isn’t me anymore.
“In the past absolutely, I wanted to be a healer, a helper, someone’s world…”.
Kieran and Kristina hit it off immediately when they first locked eyes on the aisle.
The animal carer luckily found the mechanic’s practical joke funny as he surprised her with a set of false teeth on their wedding day – so it seemed they were the perfect match.
But as the weeks have gone on, cracks started to appear in their relationship.
Last week Kieran sobbed in the corner of the room after their marriage imploded, days after they locked horns in an explosive argument after he expressed fears he was “wasting” his time in their marriage.
Fans were previously quick to call out Kieran for “making excuses” after admitting he did not want to be “intimate” with his spouse.
Last night the pair decided that enough was enough and called it quits – and there was not a dry eye in the room.
Kieran told Kristina at the commitment ceremony: “I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving this your all.
“I just genuinely wish you the best for the future.
“Don’t change for anyone.”
Kristina replied: “Thank you for the most magical, amazing day of my life at our wedding.
“I’m gutted but I do only wish you the best.
“You’ll be in my life. Don’t worry.”
Those watching at home were also left in tears.
One wrote on X: “Not Kristina & Kieran. Love these guys!! So glad they have stayed friends. Was rooting for them.”
Another brutally said: “Kieran has known for weeks how he feels about Kristina. He’s just finding it hard to admit it to himself, Kristina, and his friends and family.”
A third chimed in: “Not sure Kieran knows what he wants anymore. This PMDD has really put him off and he’s making every excuse under the sun not to just say it’s that. Kristina deserves better.”
Cracks started to appear when Kristina was left devastated when Kieran gave co-star Polly a big kiss on the lips – after saying he didn’t want to be intimate with her because of a cold sore.
Days before Kristina was in tears when Kieran admitted he was struggling in their relationship.
Asked by the experts why his behaviour towards her has changed, he said: “I am really questioning at the minute if I am able to sustain a relationship with someone who suffers with PMDD.”
Kristina suffers from Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which causes extreme emotional and physical symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, and panic attacks.
