Married At First Sight groom 'SPLITS from Olympic swimmer fiancée' - after couple sparked breakup rumours by unfollowing each other on Instagram
Married At First Sight groom Ryan Gallagher has reportedly split from his Olympic swimmer fiancée Emily Seebohm.
The couple, who became engaged in December 2022, had previously unfollowed each other on Instagram sparking break up rumours.
Ryan, 36, who starred in the 2018 season of Married At First Sight, also seemingly removed Emily, 32, from his feed.
Now a source has told Sky News Australia that the pair have called it quits - two years after welcoming their son Sampson.
A source told the publication: 'Ryan and Emily are trying to find a new normal, which has been a real process.
'Their number one priority is Sampson and ensuring he continues to feel supported by both parents.
'They haven't felt the need to make public statements.'
It was also reported by the publication that Ryan has relocated to Brisbane and is living on his own after the split.
Emily's last appearance on Ryan's grid was more than two years ago.
The post was a screenshot of the pair's appearance on The Challenge Australia.
Ryan had also apparently removed a snapshot showing he and Emily with their newborn Sampson.
The photo captured the couple nestled together on a hospital bed, with their peacefully slumbering baby cradled in his father's embrace.
Ryan's most recent appearance on Emily's feed meanwhile, came over the Christmas season when she shared a photo that showed she, Ryan and Sampson happily posing with Santa Claus.
The Olympic swimmer also sparked rumours of a split on her most recent Instagram photo.
The image showed Emily and Sampson enjoying a mum and son day out at Gold Coast theme park Dreamworld.
However, eagle-eyed followers were quick to point out that Emily was not wearing her engagement ring in the photo.
'Where's Ryan?' one follower asked to which another replied: 'That's true. I hope they are okay.'
Another chimed in with: 'No Ryan and no ring. I hope it doesn't mean anything.'
Emily also shared a clip, last month, that showed her happily playing with Sampson.
Emily's ring was also absent in this clip, further fuelling rumours of a split between the couple.
MailOnline has reached out to Ryan and Emily for comment.
They became engaged in December 2022, a mere four months after their initial meeting while filming The Challenge Australia.
However, they opted to keep their engagement under wraps until March.
'We just wanted to live in our own little bubble, we just wanted that for us and our families,' Emily told the Daily Telegraph.
Ryan proposed to her next to a dam on his farm near Goulburn, NSW, with a trilogy diamond ring from Goulburn's Zantis Jewellers.
Speaking to Stellar in February, Emily revealed the couple were in no rush to marry, but could elope at any time.
'I feel like sometimes we talk about it and say maybe we should elope or we'll go to the Town Hall and just get it done,' Emily said.
'If weddings weren't so expensive or take so long to plan, we would have done it. It's probably an after Paris [Olympics] thing.'
Subsequently, they revealed their pregnancy in July 2023 through an endearing social media video, accompanied by the caption 'We've had a little bump in the road.'
The three-time Olympic gold medalist recently revealed the struggles of her pregnancy during the annual GlamouRossi Long Lunch in Brisbane.
According to The Courier Mail, she claimed the nine months had been 'awful.'
'I just call myself Shrek these days,' she joked, before complaining specifically about swollen feet.
Ryan rose to fame on season five of Married At First Sight when he was paired with controversial series 'villain' Davina Rankin.
Davina was portrayed in the series as having an affair with Dean Wells, who was paired with Tracey Jewell.
She bore the brunt of ire from MAFS viewers while Ryan engendered sympathy, becoming an instant fan favourite.
Emily, who made her Olympic debut at the age of 16 at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, failed to qualify for Paris in the 100m and 200m backstroke.

Aussie actor Teresa Palmer makes shock MeToo confession: 'I was taken advantage of'
Teresa Palmer has reflected on the moment she nearly quit acting after she was 'pressured' to hook up with her male co-star. The Aussie actress, 39, who made a name for herself in hit films such as The Choice and Hacksaw Ridge, revealed she was fired from a movie after experiencing her own MeToo moment. Speaking to Daily Telegraph, Teresa shed light on the darker side of Hollywood that saw her meet some really 'nefarious' people in the industry, people that pushed her to 'hook up' with actors on film projects to better their on-screen 'chemistry'. 'I had my own MeToo experience. I was taken advantage of,' she told the publication. The moment made her question her dream of being an actress and almost saw her turn her back on it for good. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Aussie actress, 39, who made a name for herself in hit films such as The Choice and Hacksaw Ridge, revealed she was fired from a movie after experiencing her own MeToo moment 'I was 20, and I had just been fired off this job because I had refused to participate in some really coercive control stuff that was happening, and so I got fired,' she revealed. Soon after, Teresa returned to Adelaide, convincing herself that her dream was over and that it was time to settle into a job as a drama teacher. However, her agent Ann Churchill-Brown - who also represents Hollywood heavyweight Nicole Kidman - wouldn't let her give up. 'She was like, "Look – that was an awful experience, but I'm telling you, there are other experiences that you're gonna have that's just going to be the salve."' Teresa went on to star in many career-defining film roles, proving her agent right. Now, Teresa continues to make movies but gave up the hustle and bustle of the US for a happy, relaxed life in Byron Bay. She shares four biological kids with her husband Mark Webber, as well as a stepchild, and is currently expecting her fifth. Teresa recently showed off her baby bump at the premiere for her latest film project. She was absolutely glowing on Wednesday night as she promoted her new movie, Mix Tape, at Oxford Art Factory in Sydney alongside her husband Mark. The actress, who is 28 weeks pregnant, opted for a skin tight-dress in a black tone with glittering threading throughout. The long sleeved number clung to her blossoming belly and she added some patent heels to the look. Teresa chose a clean makeup look with a smoky eye and pink matte lipstick while wearing her blonde locks down in mermaid waves. Mark meanwhile matched his wife in an all black ensemble as he shared her red carpet moment.

The titans who shaped Test cricket
Cricket histories are a dangerous genre both for writers and readers. They can be incredibly boring, the dullest of all probably being John Major's weighty tome, which said everything you knew it would say as drearily as you feared. So Tim Wigmore, a young shaver who writes on cricket for the Daily Telegraph, has entered hazardous territory. Speaking as a proud cricket badger, who even has a book by Merv Hughes on his shelf (Dear Merv, 2001), I will admit that I have read rather too many cricket histories, and I swore that it would be a cold day in hell (or possibly at the county ground in Derby) before I would willingly start another. But Wigmore has written a splendid, comprehensive book full of good stories and droll asides. It dips a little in the middle when Shoaib Mohammad starts batting, and keeps on batting, but what book of 578 pages does not? (Shoaib, who retired in 1995, is still batting in his dreams and my nightmares, and has just played an immaculate forward defensive down to silly mid-off.) In fact Test Cricket is as sparkling and entertaining as any book this long has a right to be. Wigmore has taken as his subject the pinnacle of the game, possibly the pinnacle of any game in the world, the Test match – played over (once) three and (now) five days between no more than a dozen nations (or collections of nations) whose first-class structures justify their hallowed status. So there are no Test matches between Brazil and Argentina – nor are there likely to be until there are first-class stadiums in both countries where regional teams play two-innings matches in whites, with lunch at 1 p.m. and tea at 3.40 p.m. Pork pies would need to be sold locally and everyone would run indoors at the merest sniff of rain or bad light. No, this book starts off with the old rivalry between England and Australia in the 1870s; adds South Africa a quarter of a century later; and then the West Indies and New Zealand on the same day in the 1930s. England fielded two separate XIs against these two teams for their first Tests – an experiment they have never been strong enough to repeat. (Australia often put out two teams in one-day internationals in the 1980s and 1990s, both of which would then beat England, which wasn't that hard at the time.) Wigmore supplies a clean and focused narrative structure. 'Within the space constraints,' he writes, 'I have been led by a sense of Test cricket's overarching story, paying particular attention to players who helped shape the game.' This means a lot of pages are devoted to people such as Abdul Kardar and Tiger Pataudi, while 'titans in less successful or declining sides', like Graham Gooch and Shivarine Chanderpaul, get far fewer. I have no trouble with any of this, although the lack of mention of my own favourite cricketer, Derek Randall, who scored an epic 174 in the centenary Test match in 1977, is obviously shameful. Wigmore has an eye for the telling detail. In a passage on the Australian batsman Victor Trumper, inspired by the photograph of him leaping out of his crease to drill a half-volley back over the bowler's head, we hear that in 1902 Trumper became the first batsman to score a century before lunch on the first morning of a Test match. This was something only five batsmen from any country have done since. I also didn't know that Trumper was the first man to popularise wearing the same national cap at every Test. 'The lore of the baggy green cap, then, is also the lore of Trumper.' Between 1895 and 1904, Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji scored 21,576 first-class runs at an average of 60.94. Then he became the Maharajah Jam Sahib of Nawanagar and had to stop batting for Sussex and England. In 1929, Ranji's nephew Duleepsinhji took part in one Test against South Africa, the only occasion in that country's first 172 Tests, until their readmittance to Test cricket in 1992, that they played against someone who didn't have white skin. South Africa, and their supporters in the MCC, don't come out too well from this book. When an Australian Services XI played the first of five matches against an England XI at Lord's in 1945 tickets cost a flat one shilling (five new pence) anywhere in the ground. That's as opposed to the £160 a friend of mine paid recently for one of this summer's Tests. At less than a fifth of the cost, this book represents a serious bargain. It's not quite as good as seeing Joe Root score 100 in the flesh, but it's not far off.
