“Married at First Sight”’s Devin Short Says He and Caitlin Grimm ‘Don’t See’ Friendship After Divorce (Exclusive)

**Breakdown in Communication Leads to Divorced Reality Stars on ‘Married at First Sight’**

In a recent turn of events for reality television fans, Devin Short and Caitlin Grimm, a couple from the 20th season of ‘Married at First Sight’, have ended their marriage just five days ahead of the much-anticipated Decision Day. The revelation came during the season’s premiere on 27th August, where the couple reflected on their tumultuous journey together.

Despite the premise of the show being centred around marriage and building meaningful connections, it became evident that the union between the 27-year-old Devin and 28-year-old Caitlin faced significant challenges. Their relationship was plagued by accusations ranging from flirtation to persistent communication breakdowns. Ultimately, the pair concluded that they were simply incompatible and decided to part ways before they had the opportunity to make formal decisions about their future.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Devin elaborated on the reasons behind their hastened decision to end their marriage. “I didn’t come onto the show just to leave early. I wanted to see it through to Decision Day,” he expressed. However, he acknowledged Caitlin’s assertion that she could no longer tolerate the situation, describing him as “just unbearable.”

Devin defended his approach to communication, asserting that he believed he was capable of engaging in constructive dialogue. He lamented Caitlin’s inability to converse, leaving him feeling frustrated. “We couldn’t have a conversation without it turning into an argument,” he explained. The rugby player highlighted that discussions often became counterproductive, with Caitlin seemingly needing to ‘win’ each debate.

Reflecting on their interactions, Devin recognised a crucial disconnect in their communication styles, which hindered meaningful exchanges. He described his frustrations when expressing his feelings, feeling as though he was trivialising issues in Caitlin’s eyes. The couple’s inability to listen to each other’s perspectives led to a breakdown of their relationship.

Despite this, Devin admitted to having some moments of happiness during their time together, such as the joy of their wedding day and a memorable trip to Olympia. However, he concluded that these positive instances were overshadowed by the negativity that characterised their relationship. Ultimately, he expressed doubts about any possibility of friendship between them moving forward.

“I don’t see us being friends really at all,” Devin stated, noting that he had not been in contact with Caitlin since the conclusion of the season. While they exchanged pleasantries during the reunion, in which they acknowledged the nature of their experiment, he emphasised the absence of lingering ties.

At this reunion, Devin revealed to the audience that he was now single. Meanwhile, Caitlin shared that she had found love again, indicating a fresh start in her personal life. This contrast highlighted the differing paths the former couple are taking since their separation.

Looking to the future, Devin conveyed his optimism regarding romance, maintaining hope that he would eventually find a partner who complements him better. He mentioned the possibility of participating in another reality show but has a desire to seek love in a more organic manner. “I want to have fun while building that relationship,” he remarked.

As the conversation around relationships and compatibility unfolds, Season 20 of ‘Married at First Sight’ serves as a reminder of the complexities that come with love and commitment, even in a reality show context. The episodes continue to be available for streaming on Peacock, offering fans a closer look at how relationships develop—or fail—under the spotlight.
