After a rocky relationship on Married At First Sight, season 12’s Clara Berghaus shared a celebratory end to her marriage with Ryan Oubre. A fan-favorite, Clara and Ryan had their fair share of ups and downs throughout the season, having a strong connection yet lacking the intimacy needed to sustain a marriage. In a season full of struggling couples, Clara and Ryan appeared to be one of the biggest successes of the season, both fully engaged in the relationship and ready to commit from their first glances at the altar. From the get-go, though, the couple concerned audiences, as Ryan couldn’t tell Clara that he loved her.

Despite the points of tension and incompatibilities throughout their experience on MAFS, Clara and Ryan were a fantastic couple and had plenty to offer one another, with Ryan embracing order and Clara sharing her love of spontaneity. Throughout the season, fans grew to love the couple as they navigated life together seamlessly. While they might appear perfect on paper, both Clara and Ryan had their struggles, intimacy being a constant concern within their marriage.

According to People, Clara is anything but sad about her divorce from Ryan, marking the occasion with an upbeat video posted on TikTok. In the video, Clara showed “a countdown to the day she was set to sign her divorce papers.” In this boozy, humorous video that included the song “Celebrate The Good Times,” Clara appeared ready to say her goodbyes to Ryan and move past the events of season 12. Clara and Ryan struggled to be intimate and had a clear lack of connection, leading to the ultimately understandable divorce. After the marriage came to an end, Clara explained, “After taking some time away from the cameras, we have reached that point in our marriage where we know it’s better to go our separate ways.” Firm in their decision, both Clara and Ryan seemed to believe that divorce was the only option in their situation.

While fans were torn apart by such a tragic divorce, Clara saw this moment as a chance to explore “the next chapter” of her life. In the meantime, Clara has been actively trying to take care of herself the best she can post-divorce. Clara, a thriving flight attendant and connoisseur of self-help books, has made the most of her situation, focusing on her career and mental health. While divorce was “not an easy decision,” according to Clara, she has chosen to stay vibrant and positive about her life and relationship status.

Many would expect hard feelings after Clara’s blunt post on social media, yet both have made it clear that “they remain friends and hope for nothing but the best for [one another].” With maturity and grace, both Clara and Ryan seem to be handling their divorce as best as possible, accepting the harsh reality that their love story was not meant to be. Even though Clara and Ryan’s marriage wasn’t a happy ending, the two have parted ways with dignity and humor, adding to the increasing list of season 12 mishaps.
