Married At First Sight Australia viewers have witnessed Jade and Ridge’s seemingly harmonious relationship throughout the series. However, recent developments have left fans questioning Jade’s authenticity.

Jade Pywell, 26, and her husband Ridge Barredo, 27, have showcased a growing connection on the show. Yet, during a recent episode (Wednesday 17), doubts emerged about Jade’s true sentiments, particularly when she reunited with her family during homestays week.

Fans observed a shift in Jade’s demeanour as she expressed concerns about Ridge’s maturity, a departure from her previous unwavering support. The tension escalated during an awkward dinner with Jade’s family, where she raised issues about a “language barrier” caused by Ridge’s frequent use of slang.

The family’s subsequent apprehensions about Ridge’s maturity added further strain to the situation. Despite Ridge’s reassurances about his willingness to embrace his role as a stepfather to Jade’s eight-year-old daughter, Jade’s family remained skeptical.

Disappointed by Jade’s behaviour, one viewer voiced their frustration on X, criticising her apparent inconsistency and her family’s demeanour. Another viewer speculated that Jade’s past experiences may have influenced her family’s cautious approach to Ridge.

The apparent discord between Jade and Ridge contradicted the strong feelings they had previously displayed for each other. Some viewers expressed concern that Jade might be sabotaging her relationship, despite Ridge’s demonstrated commitment and willingness to compromise.

As the series unfolds, viewers are left pondering the true nature of Jade and Ridge’s relationship, wondering whether their bond can withstand the challenges they face.
