Alissa Fay and David Momoh were one of the first pairings up to say “I do” on the 2026 series of Married At First Sight Australia.

However, their pairing got off to a rocky start when Alissa revealed that she couldn’t go through with the wedding for “one reason.”

In a painfully awkward scene, the bride-to-be insisted her future husband drop to one knee and propose at the top of the aisle- something he initially refused.

Alissa’s proposal demand

David was visibly reluctant, hesitating and trying to laugh it off, saying “I don’t know if this is part of the set-up or if you’re being serious,” to which she replied: “I’m being deadly serious, I need a man who will do this for me.”

Eventually, he gave in, but the moment dragged on far longer than necessary. What should’ve been playful quickly tipped into uncomfortable watching territory, leaving viewers squirming at home.

And if that wasn’t enough, the kiss that followed sealed the deal as one of the most second-hand embarrassment-inducing moments of the episode.

David’s second chance

Despite this awkward incident, David insisted he wasn’t going to end their relationship and would instead be giving Alissa a second chance.

The couple then swiftly turned things around and even went on to bond over their Christian backgrounds.

David then admitted that he feels the experts matched them well and said he could be the “calm to her hurricane”- not sure if that’s a compliment, but alas.

The explosive final date task

Their relationship was really tested during the final date task before Final Vows, which saw each bride and groom meet another match.

David and Alissa then watched back each of their dates, which left David devastated after he witnessed his bride make some raunchy jokes with her date. While Alissa insisted it was all “banter”, David called her out for having “double standards”, saying that if he made the same jokes she would have been upset.

It resulted in a heated argument, with Alissa confessing: “If you’re done, don’t worry, I’m done too.”

In response, David said: “Nah, I deserve more than that, there’s no way. I’m not going to Final Vows.” He then left his ring behind and walked out.

Alissa followed behind and threw her ring down the hallway at David, proving it was well and truly over for the pair.

So, even after some hefty bumps in the road, did they manage to last?

Are Alissa and David still together?

It seems as though David and Alissa are well and truly over.

WHO spoke to David on April 1, 2026, where he said that they haven’t exchanged any recent messages, and Alissa made no effort to contact him after the experiment.

According to Refinery29 Australia, an insider told the publication that the couple do break up at Final Vows.

Our sister publication Woman’s Day claimed that Alissa has now moved on with a new man. Her alleged new beau is Ninja Warrior contestant Nathan Ryles, 33. “She’s besotted with him. She’s even calling him her soulmate,” a source told the publication. “It’s the worst kept secret in Adelaide.”

However, as we all know – the contestants are not in charge of their social media until the series has been fully aired. Therefore, viewers will have to wait and see what really happened between the pair.
