On February 19, 2025, Married at First Sight Australia season 12 aired a new episode, which showcased Jacqui requesting Ryan to list ten things he liked about her. During the dinner party, where the couples reunited to reflect on their experience, Jacqui observed the "extremely happy relationships" around her and sought compliments from Ryan to show others how happy she was with him.
"Take this as an opportunity to say some nice things about me. Okay, ten things you like about me. Go on," Jacqui said.
