Expert John Aiken commended the couple for being able to navigate their romance in ‘real life’.
‘Sounds like they have been able to manage their relationship outside of the experiment which is not easy for many of the couples to do,’ he said.
Olivia however admitted that Jackson had not yet ‘dropped the L-bomb’ and said ‘I love you’ to her, but she did not want to scare him off by pushing it.
During the final vows last month, an emotional Jackson confessed his love for Olivia.

‘Liv, I came into this experience hoping to find someone I could spend the rest of my life with,’ he began.
‘When I turned around and saw your beautiful smile, I definitely felt like we had an instant connection, to the point we were up all night, chatting each other’s ear off.’
‘Since then, we have gone through so much together, both completely out of our comfort zones, and at the same time, dedicated to give this our all and to have each other’s back.’

Jackson went on to say that while he didn’t feel right with some of the snarky comments Olivia made throughout the experiment, he was willing to put it past him.

‘I honestly believe that this is because you radiate so much warmth that anyone who’s in a room with you is comforted by your presence.
‘Never in my wildest dreams did I ever dare hope for a partner who is as beautiful, kind, compassionate and even-tempered as you are.’
Olivia continued: ‘Jackson, you’ve built me up and made me feel worthy and adored every day that I’ve known you, and I hope you know how eternally grateful I am to you for that.’
Olivia gushed: ‘Never in my wildest dreams did I ever dare hope for a partner who is as beautiful, kind, compassionate and even-tempered as you are,’ she said
‘During this experiment, I feel as though I’ve been accused by others of being a vindictive grudge-holder with an agenda for revenge, and you could potentially be put off me because of it.’
‘I’ve been attacked and pushed at breaking point. But never once by you.’
‘You’ve been the biggest support and best gift of this whole experience.’
‘I will never be able to thank the experts enough for finding you for me.’
Happy ending: Olivia and Jackson happily committed to their relationship outside of the experiment
