Married at First Sight UK star Davide Anica has broken his silence for the first time, giving a shocking account of the events that led to the collapse of his televised marriage with Keye Luke.
The Final Straw: 136 Calls and a Dating App Discovery
Speaking candidly on the Spill With Will podcast, Davide explained that the pressure of the "outside world" made life after the experiment "very difficult." The couple, who were fan favourites and made it to Final Vows and the reunion episodes, faced a rough patch exacerbated by Davide's struggle with constant travel and Keye's intense energy.
Matters reached a crisis point in December 2025 when Davide flew to Seattle for work. After landing, he texted Keye but received no reply. Concerned, he began calling. Davide claims he called Keye 136 times that night, but each call was allegedly manually cancelled. He grew panicked, especially as he could see Keye was active on Instagram despite it being 2am in the UK.
The Grindr Profile That Confirmed His Fears
Trusting his instincts, Davide took drastic action. He downloaded Grindr and created a blank profile set to Keye's location. His worst suspicions were confirmed when he found a faceless profile matching Keye's age and hobbies. The most damning evidence was a gym selfie that Keye had sent to Davide himself just that morning.
The following day, Davide confronted Keye with screenshots and immediately ended the relationship. This incident occurred after Keye had previously been caught on a dating app while Davide was away, a fact the pair had already confirmed on Instagram following their split.
No Going Back: Davide Rules Out Reconciliation
Now, months after the breakup, Davide has firmly shut the door on any chance of rekindling their romance. He stated he would not be open to restarting their relationship.
In response to the podcast revelations, Keye Luke shared a lengthy statement on his Instagram. He suggested there was "more to this breakup than what has been shared" and that "the truth sits somewhere in the middle." Keye added that he would not engage in a public back-and-forth, stating, "I will not use my voice to tear someone down. That is not who I am."
The split of Davide and Keye marks another high-profile relationship breakdown from the MAFS UK 2025 series, leaving fans questioning which couples from the experiment have managed to stand the test of time.
