When it comes to Tom and Lillian's relationship, a source assures to E! News that the couple did everything possible to save their marriage.
"Married at First Sight experts stepped in for counseling throughout the last few months, the couple sought out their own personal marriage counseling but it became clear that although they are best friends their marriage was not salvageable," our insider shared. "The two are just asking for privacy as they heal and find closure."
Will the three couples sharing their love story this season be more successful? We'll just have to keep watching.
