Babies, marriage… but one couple splits after Seven Year Switch

Happy endings for three of four couples, but all say there are no regrets about appearing on Seven reality show.

Two babies are on the way, one couple has married, another has proposed -and one couple has also split following their participation in Seven Year Switch.

But all couples said they did not regret participating in the Seven reality show that involved partner-swapping as ‘couples therapy.’

Last night in a Reunion special four couples spoke to host Edwina Bartholomew, filmed before the cameras last week. It was the first time all four had met together, and by the sight of two pregnant bellies, it was many months after the show had stopped filming.

Ryan and Cassie are now expecting their fourth baby, and had managed to salvage their marriage.

Volatile couple Tim and Jackie are also expecting their first baby, have bought a house on the Gold Coast and are engaged to be married.

Brad and Tallena had also married, with Brad saying the show had helped him learn to ‘let go’ of things a lot more. Just maybe not Tallena.

But the news wasn’t as good for Michelle and Jason (pictured) who revealed their marriage had ended.

“We went back to our lives. We put all of the things we’d learnt into practice. And we did what we said we were going to do . We tried,” Michelle explained.

“But at the end of the day we decided we were going to separate. It got to the stage where we kind of looked at each other and we couldn’t try anymore. We were just suffering under each other’s pressure.”

However both explained they didn’t regret participating.

“We learned so much about each other, and so much about ourselves on this journey,” said Jason. “We have a better relationship now separate than before we did when we went on the show.”

Let’s hope after the cameras are packed away none of the four change their tune about participating on the show?

  1. I’m really pleased Michelle and Jason split , he deserves so much better. I think Brads got a good heart, he’s just an over reactor. Ryan deserves so much better too, it’s a shame there’s now a baby involved . It seems like they’ve thought let’s have a baby and everything will be ok

    1. This show is my guilty pleasure.
      Yes, poor Jason. Seems like a lovely guy who still worships the ground Michelle walks on , no matter how horrible she is to him. He really tried his heart out to make it work but she had given up from the beginning. Definitely deserves someone so much better.
      Loved Tim and Tallena’s friendship – she actually smiled and had fun away from controlling Brad.
      Tim and Jackie are too different, I think. I would be interested to see if they stay together for long.

  2. Your final line indicates a suspicion the four couples were “encouraged” by 7 to be positive about their involvement in the series. Am I wrong or right?

  3. Alright i have to be honest and say that i never watched a single episode, so i’m judging this by the commercials. But there was one couple where the girl had asked the fella not to get a tattoo or something, and he got one. And then he also jumped into a hot tub and got naked with the other woman. And they were not the couple that broke up?!?! She seriously took him back?
    Yeah, cause he totally seems like a real keeper. He obviously really respects you.
    (It’s also pretty obvious why i don’t watch shows like this lol)
