Ryan de Nino’s ex-wife Jessica Castro breaks silence on ‘MAFS’ star’s sudden death

Ryan de Nino, who rose to fame after appearing on the second season of Married at First Sight, has died suddenly at the age of 40. The reality TV personality passed away earlier this week in New Jersey. His family has not publicly revealed the circumstances or cause of his death.

Following the heartbreaking news, Ryan’s former wife and MAFS co-star Jessica Castro has broken her silence. Castro said that she had not been in contact with Ryan for years. Despite their complicated past, she expressed sympathy for his loved ones and wished peace for his family as they deal with the loss.

Ryan and Jessica first met at the altar during the second season of Married at First Sight in 2015. Ryan was 29 at the time, while Jessica was working as a receptionist in New York. Like other couples on the show, they agreed to marry without meeting beforehand after being matched by relationship experts.

The couple initially chose to stay married on Decision Day. However, their relationship quickly deteriorated after filming ended. Their split eventually became one of the most controversial storylines from the season.

In June 2015, Jessica filed for a restraining order and made serious allegations about Ryan’s behavior and threats toward her and her family. Ryan disputed the allegations at the time. Their marriage ultimately ended, and the two went their separate ways.

Years later, Jessica moved on from the reality television spotlight, while Ryan also maintained a relatively private life. Their relationship remained a notable part of Married at First Sight history because of the dramatic events that followed their televised marriage.

Ryan’s death has also prompted emotional tributes from members of his family. His sister, Melissa DeNino, remembered him as funny, witty, fiercely loyal and someone with a huge heart. She described losing her brother as a devastating experience that had changed her life forever.

The sudden news has left Married at First Sight viewers remembering Ryan’s time on the series. Although his marriage to Jessica ended more than a decade ago, their story has once again drawn attention following his unexpected death.

At this time, Ryan’s family has not publicly announced a cause of death. Further details may emerge as his loved ones continue to grieve and make arrangements.
