The end? Married At First Sight’s Michael Goonan (R) and Stacey Hampton (L) ‘split up’ during a huge row on Kent Street in Sydney last year, after he walked out on her during filming
According to the onlooker, they started arguing inside the Skye Suites hotel lobby, where each couple lived during filming, before it spilled out onto the street.
‘They shared a few tense words and then Michael left her, walked around the block a few times and sat making a heated phone call,’ the eyewitness added.
‘Stacey just stood there for like 10 minutes waiting for him to come back and looked upset and like she was crying, before eventually going back inside alone.’

Accepting it’s over? The onlooker added, ‘Stacey just stood there for like 10 minutes waiting for him to come back and looked upset, before eventually going back inside alone’
When asked how serious the spat looked, the onlooker said ‘they basically split up’.
However, the incident occurred on Labour Day 2019, during a day off from filming with no camera crew around, meaning it wasn’t captured for the reality show.
This means the couple will have had to then reunite later on to discuss what happened between them on camera, incorporating it onto the show.
They would then have chose to either work through their problems or leave the social experiment at the next commitment ceremony.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel Nine for comment.

Stacey added: ‘He said he was happy to leave [the experiment and marriage] and never see me again. So, I kicked him out.
