Developments in their relationship and current status
Celebrations of Maeve and Joe's nuptials were kicked off by Maeve's horseback arrival, donning a black dress, which Joe referred to as a surprise. Reflecting on the event, Maeve stated that Joe was a delight to behold and, in fact, she liked his smile. She further commented that she was awkward with eye contact as she found him so attractive.
Nevertheless, Joe stated that he was not sure about their compatibility, and to be specific, he remarked that Maeve's personality seemed lively and bubbly and that her conduct at the ceremony was unlike what he had anticipated.
During the party, Joe still kept noticing how Maeve was behaving. He said that her vigorous nature reminded him of the times he had in the past, and he added that it "scares" him because of the comparison with the intensity of his previous partners.
Joe also expressed concern about Maeve’s tendency to become argumentative when under the influence of alcohol, as she had shared during the ceremony. In a confessional, he noted that past relationships with argumentative partners were a reason for his caution.
Maeve also shared her observations about Joe with friends, stating that he seemed more mature and had calmed down compared with her own lifestyle.
She indicated that she was willing to adjust her social activities to maintain their relationship. She also expressed a desire to show vulnerability to Joe while acknowledging that her previous experiences with relationships made her apprehensive.
In previews for their honeymoon, tensions were observed between the couple. A short segment showed Maeve walking away from Joe at a hotel bar during an argument, stating frustration while leaving him alone at the table.
Maeve and Joe are still a couple in the Married at First Sight UK experiment as of the time of reporting. Their Instagram activity reveals that, as of now, they are not following each other. It is still unknown to the public whether they decided to be together after the show.
