MAFS Couple Stella Mickunaite and Filip Gregov Split Just Months After Engagement

Stella Mickunaite and Filip Gregov, once considered one of Married At First Sight’s most promising couples, have reportedly ended their relationship just months after getting engaged.

The pair continued their romance outside the experiment and appeared to be building a future together, but their relationship is now said to have quietly come to an end just weeks before their one-year anniversary.

According to reports, Stella and Filip have also unfollowed each other on Instagram, while sources close to the former couple claim they are no longer on speaking terms.

Filip Reportedly Made the Decision to End the Relationship

An insider claimed it was Filip who ultimately decided the relationship could no longer continue after spending some time questioning whether the couple shared the same vision for their future.

“It was ultimately Filip who decided to end things. He’d been wrestling with it for a while and eventually realised they just weren’t on the same page about what they wanted out of life,” the source said.

Rather than one major argument bringing the relationship to an abrupt end, those close to the pair suggested the separation came after their differences gradually became more apparent.

“There wasn’t some huge explosive fight. It was more of a slow realisation that they were heading in different directions,” the insider explained.

The couple had reportedly been spending increasing amounts of time apart, with Filip based in Melbourne for work while Stella was spending more time in Sydney.

“People around them had noticed the distance for a little while. With Filip based in Melbourne for work and Stella spending more time with friends in Sydney, they were living quite separate lives,” the source claimed.

Different Expectations for the Future

Finances were also reportedly among several areas of disagreement between the pair, although the insider stressed that money was not the sole reason behind the breakup.

“Money wasn’t the only issue, but it definitely became a sticking point. Stella has always been very ambitious and wanted someone who could provide the lifestyle she was looking for,” the source claimed.

“She wanted a partner who could really support her financially, and she didn’t feel Filip was in that position.”

Those differences, combined with the distance between their lives in Melbourne and Sydney, reportedly placed increasing pressure on the relationship.

Despite the split, sources suggested the pair had genuinely cared for each other but ultimately reached a point where their long-term expectations no longer appeared to align.

“They genuinely cared about each other, but sometimes love isn’t enough when long-term goals don’t align,” the insider said.

Stella Shares Emotional Reflection

Stella appeared to address the end of the relationship in an emotional Instagram post on Monday, where she reflected openly on her own mistakes and regrets.

“It would be easy to tell this story by deciding who was right and who was wrong. To point fingers. To protect my ego. To pretend I was perfect. But no. I’m not here for that,” she wrote.

Rather than placing blame on either side, Stella said the experience had forced her to confront difficult truths about herself.

“I made mistakes. I have regrets. And while those truths are painful to sit with… they’re also incredible gifts,” she continued.

The reality television star also opened up about how her ambitions for the future had sometimes been accompanied by deeper fears and uncertainty.

“Sometimes, sitting quietly beside that ambition… was fear. Fear of uncertainty. Fear of falling behind. Fear that the future I dreamed of might somehow slip through my fingers,” she wrote.

Reflecting on what she had learned from the relationship, Stella admitted that focusing too heavily on the future may have prevented her from fully appreciating the present.

“Sometimes they experience someone who is so focused on tomorrow that they unintentionally miss the beauty of today. That has been one of the hardest mirrors I’ve ever had to look into.”

She concluded her message with a deeply personal reflection on what the relationship had taught her about love.

“Love isn’t only about having a good heart. It’s about the impact we leave on the heart standing opposite ours. That is a lesson I’ll carry with me.”

Former MAFS Co-Stars Rally Around Stella

Following the breakup, Stella has reportedly turned to several of her former MAFS co-stars for support.

According to the insider, Rachel Gilmore and Chris Robinson have been among those helping her through the difficult period.

“Stella has been leaning heavily on her MAFS family. Rachel and Chris have really rallied around her and have been there to support her through the breakup,” the source said.

The former couple had reportedly hoped to deal with the end of their relationship privately rather than immediately announcing the news publicly.

“Neither of them wanted to make a big public announcement straight away. They were hoping to deal with it privately before people started asking questions.”

However, speculation began to grow after fans noticed Stella and Filip were no longer following each other on Instagram.

“They’ve quietly unfollowed each other on Instagram, which was a pretty clear sign to those close to them that it was over,” the insider claimed.

Stella and Filip had emerged from Married At First Sight as one of the experiment’s standout couples, continuing their relationship after filming and later becoming engaged.

Their unexpected split now marks a very different ending for a couple many viewers had believed could build a lasting future together.

Daily Mail has reportedly contacted both Stella and Filip for comment.
