'They hooked up multiple times.' Everything that's gone on since Lyndall and Cameron's final vows.

To catch up on all the Married at First Sight recaps and gossip, check out the MAFS hub page. We've got you covered.

When Lyndall Grace first walked down the aisle towards Cameron Dunne at the start of MAFS 2023, we had high hopes for them.

Lyndall had just received a new lease on life and Cameron was finally ready to open his heart to someone. 

They seemed sweet. And unlikely to rub each other's toothbrushes in their shared toilet. Or throw glasses of red wine at each other in mixed company.

For the first few weeks, things were smooth sailing for the couple. 

Then the trouble began. 

Okay, where did it all go wrong for Lyndall and Cameron?

During Family and Friends Week, Lyndall's mum asked Cameron to hug Lyndall when she appeared visibly upset. Cameron flat out refused. 

His mum then backed his decision, saying Lyndall's desire for affection was a sign of "insecurity". 

From there it became pretty clear that Lyndall and Cameron had different views on intimacy, and that her love language was affection and his was sitting in awkward silence and not acknowledging his wife's needs.

At the final dinner party, Cameron told Lyndall he could be working away from her for "six months to a year" at a time, which would make their relationship difficult. 

It's almost as though he shouldn't have applied for a TV show for people looking for a long-term relationship???

Then, during Homestay Week in the Northern Territory, a fish jumped out of a river and kissed Lyndall and she made the joke, "First kiss I got all week."

After a heated argument in front of Cameron's confused mate, Cameron explained to Lyndall that he just wasn't an affectionate person. 

Which brings us to their final vows. 

So, did they make it to final vows?

Yes. Well, kind of. 

On Monday night, Lyndall and Cameron reunited in the Blue Mountains for their final vows ceremony. 

However, things didn't go quite to plan for Cameron. 

When they came face-to-face, Lyndall took the lead. She reminisced about all the good times they shared and her unwavering commitment to their relationship throughout the experiment. 

Then she listed all the times Cam let her down and said her recently subsidised Cystic Fibrosis drug has given her a new chance at life - and she's not going to waste it on... him.

"I won't spend another moment of that life restricted. Not by my condition, not by my body, not by fear and certainly not by you," she said.

"So to put it plainly, stay in your lane and I'll stay in mine. I want to build a life I'm proud of and that life does not include you."

Then Cam reached for his vows and she said she didn't even want to hear them because she would just be let down again.

GURL.

Cam threw his vows on the ground and stormed off. 

Brilliant. 

Okay, what happened once the cameras stopped rolling?

In true MAFS fashion, both Lyndall and Cameron went up the 'date other MAFS contestants' pipeline. 

According to So Dramatic, Lyndall kissed fellow MAFS groom Josh White (yes, Disney Dad) during a wrap party in Sydney. 

A source told the podcast the pair “hooked up multiple times” and Josh even flew to Perth to visit Lyndall. 

However, those two crazy kids didn't make it. 

So Dramatic reports that Lyndall has since called Josh a "dog" (Toy Story pajamas and all!) and told the other contestants she "doesn't like him anymore".

Cameron, surprise surprise, has hooked up with MAFS intruder Tayla Winter with So Dramatic reporting that Cameron might be moving to Tasmania to be with Tayla. 

Wait... so did Cameron and Tayla hook up during MAFS?

They didn't hook up during the show, but their attraction was apparently obviously to everyone else on set, including Lyndall.

“Cam and Tayla were heaps into each other from the moment they met,” a source told So Dramatic. “They had instant chemistry.”

“It all went downhill because of Cam wanting Tayla. Cam always joked about [Tayla] having bigger tits, and with Tayla, it would be like having three different girlfriends.” 

Apparently Lyndall even had words to say on that matter during the reunion.

“Lyndall said at the reunion that things changed [with Cameron] when Tayla entered the experiment," a source told the podcast.

Okay, but why did Tayla call Lyndall a bully? 

Before heading into the experiment, Tayla posted an Instagram story accusing Lyndall of being a bully. 

“I feel it’s important to get this out before my accounts get taken,” she posted on her story, alongside a Daily Mail article about Lyndall hooking up with Josh.

“Lyndall, you’re the biggest bully I’ve ever met. This [Daily Mail] article is surface level and the amount of hurt you have caused many people is damaging and dangerous. I’m hoping people get to tell their truth and the real story is heard sooner rather than later."

Tayla also hinted to Kyle & Jackie O that Lyndall had gotten a "good edit". 

“There are people that will get in front of the camera and make a lot of drama to start rumours, and then there are other people that push back against the producers’ pressure about starting drama and making people feel really uncomfortable," she told the radio hosts.  

"And unfortunately, the ones that are getting the golden edit didn’t do that and the ones that did are getting a really rotten, butchered edit." 

Rightio. 

More to come.
