Viewers of Married At First Sight 2026 witness another marriage crumble during Sunday’s Commitment Ceremony, as Rebecca Zukowski and Steve Powell call it quits on their rocky relationship.
Rebecca’s Defiant Airport Exit
The 51-year-old mother of one strides through the airport terminal with resolve, declaring she has reached her limit. She delivers a cutting remark at Steve, dubbing him ‘Temu George Clooney’—a playful jab likening him to a low-cost knockoff of the Hollywood star.
Rebecca stresses her self-reliance, stating, ‘I’m used to all of this… carrying my own bags, paying my own bills.’ She affirms her independence: ‘I don’t need a man.’
Looking ahead optimistically, she teases, ‘And to my DMs. I’m ready for love. I came here for love.’ Despite the disappointment, she reveals eagerness to return: ‘I’d come back tomorrow. I don’t want to leave. I was robbed of the experiment.’
Intimacy Week Sparks Chaos
Trouble brews during Intimacy Week when grooms discuss their partners’ challenges. Steve explains Rebecca skipped wearing sexy lingerie to honor his conservative stance, noting, ‘She chose not to dress up and make me uncomfortable. It actually bonded us.’
However, he backtracks, admitting off-camera arguments forced him into a separate bed. Steve also probes her participation motives: ‘Rebecca was saying the only reason she is here is to find love and I kind of called her out on that because I’m sure there’s other reasons she’s here also.’
Frustration peaks as Steve confronts expert Alessandra Rampolla, alleging producers feed her lines. ‘I don’t have an earpiece in my ear. I’m not waiting for someone to tell me what to say,’ he insists. Rampolla counters sharply: ‘Honestly, the lack of respect that you’re showing me… is appalling. Tread lightly. I don’t take to this well.’
Explosive Hotel Confrontation
Tensions boil over at the hotel. Rebecca charges Steve with zero effort and dodging responsibility, while he dismisses the exercises as ‘soft porn.’ He packs his bags and storms out, sniping, ‘At least you get to be yourself now and you can give them the TV gold that you’ve been holding back on.’
Rebecca fires back to producers: ‘He would have to be the weakest man I’ve ever met in my entire life.’
The Commitment Ceremony seals their fate as Rebecca pens ‘leave,’ marking the end of one of the season’s most turbulent pairings.
