Are Lauren G and Orion Martzloff still together? 'MAFS' Season 17 couple has argument over 'derogatory' comment
CANCUN, MEXICO: 'Married At First Sight' Season 17 couple Lauren G and Orion Martzloff appear to have called it quits before the Decision Day. In the latest episode of the Lifetime show, Lauren and Orion had an explosive argument over a "derogatory" term.
Lauren and Orion previously had a conversation about the racist and hateful language that the 'MAFS' Season 17 groom had faced, including the use of the term "red skin". Lauren also later joked about Orion being "red-skinned" which offended him.
Although she apologized to Orion, it appeared like he still held a grudge against Lauren over her remark. In the latest episode, Lauren and Orion's argument reached its boiling point and the bride broke down in tears over the difficulties in her marriage and vented to a fellow castmate.
Lauren shared her frustrations about Orion with Clare Kerr and said, "I be trying to hold it together in front of y'all. I'm trying so hard because I did feel myself falling for him, and now I'm like, 'Well, what the f**k?'"
Lauren explained, "And then today, I'm trying to go downstairs to get my stuff, and I overhear him saying that he felt like I didn't have his back." She added, "It's just, there are things that happened to me that I'm like, 'I can give you grace, I know that wasn't your best self."
Lauren further shared, "I know that we are working through this.' But for this, he's like, 'No, you attacked my community, my culture.'"
The 'MAFS' Season 17 bride noted, "And I'm just like, how many more ways can I say I'm sorry?"
She continued, "How many more times can I tell you that I'm researching and doing what I need to do to navigate this intercultural relationship that I've never done before because I care so much about you? And you're down here saying that I don't have your back and I've failed the marriage?"
Lauren G demands 'divorce' from Orion Martzloff
After the explosive argument, 'MAFS' Season 17 couple Orion Martzloff and Lauren G took their wedding rings off. Additionally, Lauren asked Orion for divorce.
Lauren's co-star Clare Kerr attempted to reassure her, noting, "He's seeing all of the wrong things. He's seeing all of the negative things. It's just interesting how hard he's being. Like, I cannot even fathom."
However, Lauren confessed that the situation had hit a dead end and revealed that she asked Orion for a divorce after an explosive argument. She said, "It's just so hard. I'm just so frustrated with not being understood."
She added, "And I don't think I'm making it any better because I just had this huge blowup with him in which I was yelling, and I asked for a divorce because he told me that he feels like I failed him and I failed the marriage."

Lauren G breaks down as Orion Martzloff says sex is 'off the table'
Lauren G and Orion Martzloff seemingly have multiple issues to resolve if they want to continue their marriage in 'MAFS' Season 17. After Lauren revealed that she was last intimate two months ago, Orion told his wife that sex was "off the table for me".
While the couple claimed to be moved on from the topic, Orion found it hard to get intimate with Lauren. However, he later admitted that her sexual history wasn't the "reason" he didn't feel comfortable being intimate.
Orion notably acknowledged that Lauren's sex life information "plays a part" in his decision-making. Lauren tried to quit the conversation about her intimate life but Orion wanted to continue.
Despite her partner’s desire to talk out their differences, Lauren claimed she had no intentions of beating a "dead horse" when neither of them had anything "conducive" or "constructive" to say.
As Orion continued to push for the conversation, Lauren broke into tears and told him she didn't "feel safe". Lauren questioned, "Why does that not speak to you? You keep asking me 'Well, why can we do it right now?'"
She noted, "I think this is a valuable conversation too and clearly one that needs more conversation. Like we need ample time to discuss this."
'Married At First Sight' Season 17 airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on Lifetime.
