The former couple, who left the 2026 season engaged, recently confirmed their split after months of being seen as one of the experiment's success stories.

Filip posted a brief statement online, saying he did not want to contribute to negativity and wished Stella the best.

But after the comments around him turned nasty, Stella reportedly responded by asking fans to stop directing hate at him.

Stella said the situation did not mean either of them were villains, and asked people to choose kindness instead of taking sides.

The split had already drawn attention after Stella said Filip ended the relationship over the phone and that she felt blindsided by the decision.

Still, both have now publicly pushed back on the idea that the breakup should become a pile-on.

For MAFS fans who had followed their post-show engagement, the update is a reminder that even the show's happier endings can get messy once the cameras stop rolling.
