Married At First Sight’s Aleks Markovic split from ‘husband’ Ivan Sarakula in February.
And shortly after the finale episode aired on Sunday, the 26-year-old asked Instagram fans for ‘privacy’ in dealing with the breakup.
‘Please respect my privacy on the matter as just like anyone out in the “real” world, some relationships just don’t work out,’ the real estate agent said.

Aleks also revealed in the caption that she had different values and needs to Ivan.
‘Our values, wants, needs and lifestyles didn’t align and that’s okay. I wish him nothing but the best,’ she said.
However, the brunette isn’t wallowing in self-pity, telling fans that she still believes in soulmates.

‘I do not doubt that my soulmate is out there somewhere.’
During Sunday’s episode, Aleks and Ivan, 30, explained how they reunited privately after quitting the show halfway through, with their co-stars failing to believe them.

Michael Goonan initially accused Aleks of cheating with a mystery man after she went to a Serbian event, and he stood by his claims during Sunday’s finale.
‘Can I just say something? Do you think if I really cheated on my husband we’d still be sitting here together? Not where we come from, morally,’ Aleks hit back.
‘We definitely had no cheating scandal. I went out with a woman and there was the 50-year-old restaurant owner there. If that’s cheating, you can say that’s cheating.’
