‘Love isn’t always enough’: Married At First Sight’s Liam Cooper took a parting shot at ‘ex-wife’ Georgia Fairweather on Tuesday after brutally dumping her at their final vows
‘Making the decision to walk away from something special is never easy,’ he said.
‘However, when you feel like someone has not been their authentic self and then takes the opportunity to put you down for all of your faults without first ever wanting to work through it with you, sometimes you need to recognise that love isn’t always enough and some words cut too deep.’
He acknowledged in another post that he hadn’t treated Georgia ‘fairly’ at the last dinner party, but he still felt she’d judged him too harshly in her vows – which he said were about ‘the whole experiment and not just one night’.

Taking the high road: Georgia conceded that she and Liam simply weren’t meant to be
Georgia, meanwhile, conceded that she and Liam simply weren’t meant to be.
‘If you love something, let it go,’ she began on Instagram. ‘If it returns, it’s yours; if it doesn’t, it wasn’t.’
She added: ‘If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they’re yours; if they don’t they never were.’

After he’d confessed his love for her, Georgia described Liam as ‘manipulative and insecure’ in her vows.
Despite expressing a desire to continue their relationship, a furious Liam then dumped his wife and claimed she ‘doesn’t know the real me’.
‘Entering into this experiment, I was counting on an adventure – an experience of a lifetime to learn about myself and to hopefully meet a compatible match,’ she told him.
She continued: ‘But then at the dinner party, without warning, you turned on me, you humiliated me, and you degraded me in front of everyone.’
‘It was obvious how devastated I was, and yet you chose to abandon me that night when I needed you the most. I’ve never felt so small, inadequate, and confused.’

Despite criticising him, Georgia revealed she was willing to give their relationship a go.
However, an unimpressed Liam said: ‘I love you but hearing those vows, you don’t know me. You don’t know me at all.’
‘I’ve never seen this side of you, and I think it’s a cop in the face that you say that I’ve done all this to you when this whole experiment, I have given you everything.’
He continued: ‘I am sorry for what happened at the dinner party, but I’m not gonna cop that, when that there is an outright lie.’
‘As much as I want to make this work, that just shows you don’t know me, and I’m not gonna have a partner who doesn’t know me.’
‘So, let’s just call it quits. I’m done,’ he said before walking away.
After he left the room, Georgia pulled off her wedding band and tossed it on the floor before bursting into tears.
