The honeymoon phase, often depicted as a blissful period of discovery and connection, may be facing turbulent skies for "Married At First Sight" (MAFS) participants, Davide and Keye. Despite a seemingly fairytale wedding and initial mutual attraction, cracks appear to be surfacing, raising questions about the long-term viability of their televised union.

Davide, 33, initially described the wedding day as "perfect," while Keye echoed the sentiment, stating that his new husband was "ticking all the boxes." The early stages of their relationship were characterized by open communication and a sense of safety, with both men sharing details about past relationships and personal experiences.

However, a preview clip from an upcoming episode hints at potential discord. The newlyweds embark on an exotic safari, a backdrop seemingly designed for romance and adventure. The tension arises when Keye makes a suggestive joke, a playful yet potentially jarring moment for his new spouse.

The joke centered around a rhino's horn, with Keye asking Davide, "Do you want to see a rhino's horn? Is it the horn you're excited about?" While some might interpret this as lighthearted banter, Davide's reaction suggests a deeper disconnect.

Davide, a cabin crew member, appears unimpressed and expresses his doubts about the connection in a confessional. "Everything has to be an innuendo or a joke," he laments. "I need deeper." This statement reveals a desire for a more profound and meaningful connection beyond superficial humor.

Davide's background may contribute to his expectations for romance. Having moved from Portugal to Paris at a young age, he attributes his romantic sensibilities to growing up in the "city of love." This upbringing may have instilled in him a longing for a more profound and emotionally resonant relationship.

Davide also shared his past experience of heartbreak, revealing that a planned wedding was called off, leaving him deeply wounded. This experience likely influences his desire for authenticity and genuine connection in his current relationship.

Keye, on the other hand, hasn't had a serious relationship since his marriage ended in 2018. This extended period of singledom might explain his approach to relationships and his reliance on humor to navigate new connections.

Despite the emerging tension, Davide acknowledged Keye's genuine qualities, stating, "Today I loved the fact that you were unapologetically yourself because it's f****** cute." However, he also expressed a desire to see beyond the surface, adding, "But you're not going to be 110 per cent like that, I want to get to know all of you."

During a heartfelt conversation, Keye disclosed a significant detail about his past: he had been married before. He shared that he married his first boyfriend at a young age, and the relationship lasted for nearly seven years, with the final year spent as a married couple.

Keye explained that the relationship deteriorated, leading to infidelity and ultimately divorce. This past experience has undoubtedly shaped his approach to relationships and his need for reassurance and trust.

Keye emphasized the importance of mutual trust, stating, "We both need the reassurance and I think it's something we can build together, the trust we can build together. It's not just you trusting me, it's me trusting you."

Overcome with emotion, Keye admitted that Davide was "everything he could have asked for." Speaking to the camera, he expressed his gratitude, saying, "He so far is the most perfect human being that the experts could have set me up with."

The question remains whether Davide and Keye can overcome their differences and build a lasting relationship. The "Married At First Sight" experiment is known for its unpredictable nature, and many couples have faced similar challenges. Whether they manage to navigate these early hurdles remains to be seen.

While some MAFS couples crumble under pressure, others defy the odds and forge lasting unions. Let's take a look at some success stories from the show:

Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling from series six are a testament to the show's potential for creating lasting love. They quickly fell for each other and seamlessly transitioned into the real world, eventually welcoming their daughter Beau just 18 months after meeting.

Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins from season five also proved the experiment's success. They built a strong marriage away from the cameras and celebrated the arrival of their first child in December.

Michelle, a teacher, expressed her gratitude for the experience, stating, "I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come." She and Owen were both disillusioned with dating apps when they applied for the show in 2019.

Owen humorously recalled his application, saying, "I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history."

Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson are another example of MAFS UK history. Despite initial disagreements over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same-sex pairing has remained strong. They even host a successful podcast together called "Life With a Pod."

Jenna shared her perspective on the show, stating, "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."

Ultimately, the success of any MAFS relationship hinges on the couple's ability to communicate effectively, compromise, and build a foundation of trust. Whether Davide and Keye can achieve this remains to be seen, but their journey promises to be filled with drama, emotion, and hopefully, ultimately, love.
