Rachel Gilmore and Steven Danyluk are two adorable singles in their mid-thirties, hoping to find their forever partner in each other when they walk down the aisle on Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026.
With their wholesome demeanours and sweetheart personalities, could Rachel and Steven be our next MAFS success story, like 2019’s Jules and Cam? We’ll just have to tune in to find out.
However, while viewers are only just preparing to watch Rachel and Steven exchange vows, the couple actually met months ago, as the series began filming in July 2025. So, are the couple still together in real life? Read on to find out everything we know.
What is Rachel looking for in a husband?
Rachel recently found herself in a long-term situationship, and is looking for a man who’s proud to be with her — something she’s never experienced before.
She’s hoping to find a man in the experiment that she can be completely herself with and is looking for a protective and communicative man who is willing to put in the work, like she is.
Rachel is almost hoping to start a family of her own one day, so she’d love to find a husband who shares the same passion.
What is Steven looking for in a wife?
Throughout his life, Steven has found dating challenging, saying he’s struggled with women who come to the table with a never-ending checklist of expectations.
However, he hasn’t given up on finding the perfect partner for him, and he’s hoping to find someone who great personality and can engage in a bit of banter. On top of that, he wants someone who is ambitious, easy-going, and accepts him for who he is.
It might be early days, but this sounds like it could be Rachel!
Are MAFS 2026’s Rachel and Steven still together?
Not many spoilers have leaked about Rachel and Steven’s relationship just yet. So, it’s hard to definitively say whether the couple are still together.
However, both Rachel and Steven still follow one another on Instagram, suggesting they’re at least on amicable terms — which is more than can be said for some couples post-MAFS.
But be sure to check back, as we’ll be publishing any updates we hear about Rachel and Steven’s relationship throughout the season right here.
MAFS 2026 premieres on February 2 at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
