When did Matt and Amber from Married at First Sight break up? Details explored

Like most couples from Married at First Sight, Matt Gwynne and Amber Bowles' marriage wasn't long-lasting either. Participants of the show come looking for forever love, but more often than not, leave with broken hearts, owing to the experimental nature of the show. Its success rate has been 17%, which isn't much but is enough to keep the hopes high.

Matta and Amber trusted the experts on season 9 to find a partner they could be compatible with. The season that aired in June 2019 saw three couples saying yes on Decision Day, one of which stays happily married to this day with a child. Matt and Amber were one of the two couples that said yes to divorce on their D-Day.

What led to Matt Gwynne and Amber Bowles' break up on Married at First Sight's season 9?

Matt and Amber's marriage was hugely unsuccessful, but that wasn't apparent when the pair first got married. Things were hunky-dory between the two till they started living together as a married couple.

The couple is also considered to be one of the worst pairings of the experts on the show because even after Amber's clarification to the experts about her fear of abandonment from her past relationships, they put her with a person who would come home late at night every day. Unlike Deonna McNeil and Gregory Okotie from their season, Matt and Amber didn't reach their happily ever after.

The former basketball player didn't only abstain from spending necessary time with her but also reportedly cheated on her. Upon confrontation, Matt didn't completely deny the claims or say anything to comfort Amber's broken heart. He was seemingly unbothered by Amber's status as his wife and showed no remorse.

The end of their relationship was obvious and even celebratory for Amber, as she was seen with the other wives of her season of Married at First Sight in a post captioned, "When the married girls come out to celebrate D dayyyy! #stillmarriedcuzourhubbiessuck #getusdivorced #almostofficialthough" suggesting their impatience for the divorce to get through.

In a 2020 Where Are They Now episode of Married at First Sight, Amber expressed annoyance over Matt's reluctance to sign the divorce papers. She dismissed his excuses and pressed him to sign the papers on the spot. Matt refused to sign them on the spot without consulting his lawyer but came through later.
