Tyson and Steph’s Awkward Beach Day Revealed!

Controversial Married At First Sight couple Tyson Gordon and Stephanie Marshall have

But the pair tried to recharge their faltering relationship with a bit of downtime away from the cameras during filming.

Accessorising with a fitness watch and designer eyewear, Stephanie did not venture into the water at all, preferring to sunbathe.

Meanwhile, Tyson, 30, flaunted his trim physique in a pair of striped board shorts.

Accessorising with a pair of black sunglasses, Tyson used a baseball cap for sun protection and carried his belongings in a KSCY gym duffel bag. 

It comes after the couple got into some nasty bickering on Tuesday night when the 'anti-woke' groom dropped a bombshell that left his TV wife reeling.

What was meant to be a romantic outdoor date quickly turned into a love triangle nightmare when Tyson admitted he is still in contact with his ex-girlfriend, and hinted the spark might not be entirely gone.

Things escalated when Steph asked if he'd spoken to his ex since joining MAFS and was stunned when Tyson confessed he had.

'I won't lie to you, we still talk quite a lot. She wasn't just my partner, she was my best friend as well. We're friends, nothing wrong with that,' Tyson said.
