Rachel Gilmore, the star of 'Married At First Sight: Australia', had viewers captivated by her slow-burning romance with Steven Danyluk – until their vows went up in flames. The reality show couple shared a deep emotional connection, even discussing family plans. However, their 'happily-ever-after' was short-lived, as Steven ended the relationship after their vows ceremony, just before the reunion.
Rachel Gilmore Reveals Why the Couple Broke Up
During the ceremony, Gilmore voiced concerns about their long-distance arrangement, believing Steven would not leave his life and work in Sydney for her in Melbourne. In his vows, Steven said, "I am falling for you. Rachel, I choose you, and I'm diving in headfirst, fearless." Yet, the relationship ended a couple of weeks later.
Gilmore told New Day: "I was willing to put in the effort, but ultimately it happened exactly the way I was concerned it was going to happen. Steven went back to life in Sydney. He was busy with work, and I became a burden."
Expressing sorrow, the 35-year-old shared that Danyluk had doubts about their future together. "He'd say, 'I don't even know if we're going to work in the future.' That was probably the most hurtful thing to say to me," she said, adding that there was always another priority more important than them.

Furthermore, Gilmore expressed that she learned Steven had casually lied about his whereabouts during the reality show while she was on a girls' trip in Thailand. "If you're lying to me about your whereabouts, what else are you lying to me about?" she pondered in hindsight.
