Content: Jamie Thompson and Elizabeth Bice, former participants of the television show Married at First Sight, have officially ended their relationship two months after announcing their separation. Thompson took the step to file for divorce last month. Sharing his thoughts on Instagram, the 39-year-old expressed that despite months of discussions with Beth, they were unable to reach a mutual understanding. Thompson had hoped for a resolution but believed they had reached a point where there was no possibility of reconciliation. Therefore, he made the difficult decision to file for divorce to prioritize his mental health and overall well-being, acknowledging it as one of the most challenging actions he has had to take in a long while.

The couple tied the knot in 2019 during the ninth season of MAFS, exchanging vows moments after meeting at the altar on the Lifetime reality show. Despite numerous intense arguments, Thompson and Bice made the decision to stick together after filming. They embarked on different moves together, initially starting their married life in North Carolina, before relocating to San Francisco and eventually settling in Colorado.

Thompson expressed his sadness in his announcement on June 30, stating, "Reaching this point is deeply disappointing for me. Marriage was always uncertain for me, but I never wanted a divorce either (even if it was a result of a Hollywood arranged marriage). I want to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who has reached out to me and provided love and support. I am truly thankful for each and every one of you."

Thompson announced exciting life changes while Bice chose to remain silent about their separation. Despite the public interest in their relationship, Bice explained in a June 13 video on Instagram that she was not ready to discuss it. She emphasized that she had genuine emotions and needed time before opening up. Bice expressed that leaving a long-term relationship was emotionally challenging, and when she was ready, she would address those feelings. Currently, she admitted to still experiencing emotional distress, often crying during the night.

Bice requested the audience for some "time" before she revisited the topic of her relationship.

While his estranged wife remains unwilling to share, Thompson has been honest about their separation. In an Instagram Story in April, the tech expert responded to inquiries about the breakup and disclosed that Bice left him after numerous fights.

"At the beginning, it was not a mutual decision to separate. Surprisingly, it was Beth who made the first move," Thompson revealed at that time. "The constant arguments had escalated to an unbearable level—I must confess—and in my anger and frustration, I said things that I deeply regret. Unfortunately, I haven't received any reciprocation in terms of efforts to mend our relationship and move forward. Consequently, she has been absent for four weeks now. It seems to me that focusing on self-improvement and becoming a better version of myself is the most beneficial course of action at this stage." The couple, who are currently estranged, commemorated their fourth wedding anniversary in March.
