MARRIED At First Sight UK’s Shona Manderson has proudly shown off a sparkly diamond ring after being “proposed to” by Matt Pilmoor.
On Monday night, E4 aired a reunion special that saw past faces from MAFS sit down for a classically dramatic dinner catch-up.

Shona was seen looking loved up with Matt as they made an appearance, after getting together thanks to the show i 2023.
While they weren’t originally ‘married’ to each other, the couple became an item when their respective on-screen relationships broke down.
In a sweet moment on Monday’s show, during a round from the Honesty Box, Matt gave a speech about how much he loved her, before giving her a promise ring for their future together.
After the episode aired, Shona showed off her new bling on Instagram to clear up her relationship status.
She wrote alongside it: “I said yes!!! 
hehe I’m semi engaged to @mattpilmoor 
I love my promise ring it was such a cute way to end our journey on MAFS.
“I still can’t believe how it all worked out & after it all, it was Matty. 
His speech was sooo special & emotional but obviously you couldn’t see it all so I’ve left it here for you guys. 
“Thank you for cheering us on. Never stop believing in love!!! 
Love you all xxxx #promisering #mafs #lovestory”
The message was cheered on by other former MAFS brides, with Hannah Norburn writing: “#couplegoals obsessed with you two!!! 
“
Amy Kenyon also wrote: “The cutest 
”
However, viewers seemed confused by the sweet memento, with one writing: “Semi engaged isn’t a thing, either you are or you aren’t 
”
“Don’t see the point in a promise ring, congratulations anyway,” said another.
“What does a promise ring mean versus an engagement? You’re so perfect together – just say engaged,” questioned a third.
While the pair got their happy ending, the same couldn’t be said with the others – with all the 2024 couples now broken up and ending up in tears as they were reunited.
Kieran revealed that he had a “secret sleepover” with another former MAFS bride, leaving his ex-wife Kristina heartbroken as he hadn’t warned her before filming.
Swipes were also taken between Lacey and Nathan, who originally left the show deciding to stay together, with Nathan accusing Lacey of wanting a “showmance” with him.
Married At First Sight UK is available now on Channel 4 on Demand.
