While Bryce and Melissa’s relationship appears to be in jeopardy on-screens, recent paparazzi photos reveal they are in fact now living together in Melbourne, several months after filming wrapped.
So far on MAFS, Bryce has infamously humiliated Melissa for her physical appearance, showed little regard for her feelings during arguments and admitted to ‘hooking up’ with a girl just two months before going on MAFS.
Meanwhile, many viewers are directing their frustrations towards the show’s producers, questioning why they allowed such a toxic relationship play out on screens.

Tweets slamming producers flooded in during Sunday night’s commitment ceremony, after Melissa told the experts that she felt ‘frightened’ and ‘scared’ to rock the boat in her relationship – even though Bryce had treated her with disrespect on multiple occasions.
Leading the backlash against producers was Gogglebox star Yvie Jones, who claimed she found Melissa’s words ‘troubling’ and felt that producers should intervene.
‘Where is the duty of care from producers to even put her in that position? And if pap shots are correct, they’re still together,’ she Tweeted.

She continued in another Tweet: ‘So are they sitting at home watching this together? Is he seeing her say this on TV, alone in their shared home? Is he gaslighting her right now?’
Elsewhere, another Twitter user wrote: ‘It makes me sick watching this insidious relationship unfold… The producers have created a f**king abhorrent narrative between Bryce and Melissa.’
‘Producers only care about the ratings!!’ another added.
