Love in bloom! MAFS’ Ryan Donnelly and Jacqui Burfoot hint they DO go the distance as they put on a PDA during shopping trip at a plant store after his vile sex comments

Married At First Sight’s most controversial couple Ryan Donnelly and Jacqui Burfoot may go the distance after all.

The pair were seen putting on another PDA as they went shopping at a plant centre in-between takes of filming for the Channel Nine series last year.

Ryan put his arm around his TV bride as they picked out some greenery for their apartment and the couple held hands.

Jacqui looked thrilled with his gentlemanly gesture as they perused the flora at a Garden Life store in the inner west.

The pair rugged up for the outing, with Jacqui dressed in black jeans and a matching black denim jacket paired with trendy leather boots and a Longchamp handbag.

Meanwhile, Ryan showed off his buff frame in tight blue jeans and a fitted oatmeal sweater.

The romantic outing comes just days after Ryan landed himself in hot water over an offhand remark that left both the cast and viewers stunned.

During the intimacy workshop, Ryan joked that Jacqui had ‘crazy eyes’, repeating a put-down that another groom had made about her.

But it was his next comment about her being good at a particular sexual act that repulsed some other grooms, and he was confronted about that at the dinner party.

Jacqui, having learnt of his grubby comments, stormed away from the table.

The backlash from fans was swift, with many slamming Ryan’s remarks as ‘disrespectful’ and ‘degrading’.

The groom later admitted he regrets saying that.

‘It’s probably one of my biggest blunders on the show,’ Ryan confessed in a tell-all interview with Daily Mail Australia.

‘There’s dropping your bride at the wedding, there’s being a so-called warrior and squatting this and that – but that was just crass and inconsiderate. It wasn’t gentlemanly at all.’

Despite his apology, Jacqui has had mixed reactions to the controversy, with insiders revealing that their rollercoaster relationship has seen plenty of heated clashes behind the scenes.

When asked whether Jacqui’s portrayal on the show has been fair, Ryan didn’t hold back.

‘That’s the million-dollar question. What do you think?’ he teased, before hinting that viewers aren’t getting the full story.

‘All I can say is that this marriage has been a wild ride. You can’t strap yourself in and start wailing two minutes in – you knew what you signed up for. Holding a mirror up to yourself isn’t easy, and I won’t say I disagree with what I’m seeing so far.’

He also suggested Jacqui had her own difficult moments, claiming she was ‘pretty horrible at the wedding’ and that her moods take drastic turns throughout the experiment.

‘I got blindsided a few times, and a lot of things happened that I didn’t expect. It definitely makes you question where we stand as a couple,’ Ryan revealed.
