Married At First Sight couple Julia Vogl and Grayson McIvor called time on their relationship during Sunday night’s episode.

Julia, 35, told the experts at the third Commitment Ceremony that she had been trying really hard to form a romantic connection with Grayson, 35, but admitted that sparks were not flying.

‘I really took on your advice that kissing leads to more kissing. So we kissed a lot, but nothing unfolded from there. So, I did a pulse check,’ Julia told the experts.

‘Is there a burning desire here? I realised I didn’t think the romantic side of this connection was really flourishing, so I wrote Grayson a letter, letting him know this wasn’t the soul connection I came into this experiment for.’

Grayson added he felt that continuing to try to form a connection with his TV wife would not be good for either of them.

‘The energy, the emotion, has just gone to waste! She is not physically or emotionally present. This has been recurring,’ Grayson chipped in.

Grayson said that he did not feel supported by his TV wife and was left with no choice but to end the relationship – to which Julia said the feeling was mutual

‘Julia is all words. Whenever I want to talk, I can’t. [I asked her] Do you want to have a family one day… [She said] “I’d like the option to have a family”.

‘Everything is airy fairy, there is no certainty, I just want clarity!’

Julia admitted they were not speaking the same love language.

Grayson wanted clear black-and-white answers, while she believed some matters were more nuanced and could not be answered with a blunt yes or no.

‘I call it nuanced, you call it vague. I just feel so unseen for what I put into this connection,’ she said.

Grayson responded that he did not feel supported by his TV wife and was left with no choice but to end the relationship – to which Julia said the feeling was mutual.

‘I am exhausted, I have nothing left in the tank. I gave it everything that I have got, and for that I am so proud. I am so shattered, I want love so bad,’ Grayson admitted, while breaking down in tears.

The pair then both wrote ‘Leave’ as they chose to call time on their relationship and exit the experiment.
