February 18, 2025
In a MAFS first, the experts have brought back an OG couple as intruders.
On Tuesday night’s episode, returned and Eliot Donovan got hitched to former Miss Universe Australia contestant Veronica Cloherty!
Lauren Hall was also given a second chance at MAFS love and was matched with pro-golfer Clint Rice.
While the weddings were sweet and all the jazz, it wouldn’t be MAFS without someone breaking up, right? Well, this time around, Awhina came home to an empty apartment, with Adrian revealing he left the experiment because he wasn’t picked for a promotional shoot. LOL.
February 17, 2025
MAFS has just welcomed its first intruder couple: Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias.
Unfortunately, their wedding was overshadowed by Jacqui Burfoot‘s meltdown which was triggered by a shady text she sent to Jeff Gobbels.
Plus, MAFS viewers pointed out that a cheeky fart made it into the final edit for Sunday night’s episode.
February 16, 2025
OOP! The alleged cheating situation between Adrian Araouzou and Sierah Swepstone was finally unearthed on Sunday night’s Commitment Ceremony and fans are not having it!
However, prior to the big reveal, Adrian himself addressed the cheeky situation.
In an exciting twist, MAFS has announced that it’s intruders week and there are two familiar faces on the list (three if you watch Big Brother!).
February 13, 2025
Oooooft! In an interview with Abbie Chatfield on her podcast It’s A Lot, Morena Farina has slammed her portrayal on the show and revealed the one moment where producers had to step in and force Tony Mojanovski to apologise to her.
Alongside that massive mammoth tea spill, Jacqueline ‘Jacqui’ Burfoot called out husband Ryan Donnelly for his apology on Today Extra, penning on Instagram that the interview was “triggering”.
“Watching him onToday Extratwo days ago was triggering because it’s a serious situation and not something to ‘laugh off’ on national TV,” Jacqui penned.
“I hope he learns a lesson from this but I don’t believe that’s possible — I tried and gave up this battle — the group couldn’t do it either.”
February 12, 2025
After a cooked intimacy week, Jacqueline Burfoot took to her business Instagram account to slam Ryan Donnelly‘s on-air comments about their sex life.
During Wednesday night’s episode, viewers praised Dave Hand for completely dragging Ryan for his fucked comments and Morena Farina kept things heated after coming for both Ryan and Paul Antione during an explosive moment at the Dinner Party.
February 11, 2025
After Jacqui Burfoot and Ryan Donnelly had a flop Intimacy Week Date — mostly because Ryan wasn’t having a bar of Jacqui’s fantasy date, IMO — the warrior groom decided to dish to the other grooms about his woes.
However, during his vent, the 2025 groom used the term “crazy eyes” — a term used by Jake Luik to describe Jacqui — and continued to say that she had good head game on national TV. FKN YIKES.
Ryan’s comment angered many viewers, leading to some heated reactions online.
Plus, 57-year-old DJ Bride Morena Farina dropped a major bombshell during an impromptu interview on Fifi, Fev & Nick‘s radio show on Fox FM.
On top of that, Jacqui revealed her relationship status post-MAFS in a series of rogue Instagram Stories via her business account.
AIYIYIYI.
February 10, 2025
Oh me, oh my. As half of Sydney raged on for Laneway Fest, MAFS had its first Commitment Ceremony of the season. In a surprise twist, Tim Gromie rocked up last minute despite ghosting Katie Johnstone and the whole cast for a week.
Unsurprisingly, Tim and Katie were the only couple to leave the experiment… or so we thought.
Before we kicked off with Monday night’s episode, Awhina Rutene opened up about Jake Luik‘s controversial comments from the photo ranking challenge and spilled to PEDESTRIAN.TV what exactly happened after the issue was brought to light on Sunday night’s episode.

MAFS’ Awhina Rutene Addresses Jake Luik’s Controversial Photo Ranking CommentsAlso, a cheeky inside source dished on some of the major scenes that were cut from the explosive commitment ceremony, including one groom who confessed his love for his ex-wife.
TEAAA.
Kicking off Monday night, Jake Luik decided to leave the experiment despite his wife, Ashleigh Ackerman, wanting to stay. As a result, we now have three couples who’ve dipped out of the experiment.
February 7, 2025
Yikes, yikes, yikes!! It’s not looking good for Morena Farina and Tony Mojanovski‘s post-show relationship. According to texts from Morena shared by former MAFS groom Harrison Boon, these two split pretty early on and we’re about to see it all play out on screen.
February 5, 2025
Ahead of Wednesday night’s episode, it appears that 2025 groom Adrian Araouzou might’ve spoiled his ending on MAFS after he was spotted on a cheeky date with a mystery woman on Friday night.
Alongside that major piece of tea, reports of a major cheating scandal have begun to bubble.
On Wednesday night, MAFS viewers were left gobsmacked after Jake Luik made a bunch of concerning comments about the brides during the controversial ranking challenge.
Thankfully, his MAFS wife Ashleigh Ackerman called him out for his behaviour. But instead of taking accountability, the primary school teacher claimed it was all a joke.
February 4, 2025
Off the heels of last night’s incredibly spicy episode, fans noticed a super suss, super sexy object in John Aiken’s office.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a giant butt plug? You can find out right here.
Podcaster and TikToker Hannah Bowman also went viral after spotting something suss going on with some of the Instagram accounts of this year’s MAFS cast.
On tonight’s episode, Tim Gromie has got fans riled up for the billionth time after Katie Johnstone was made to enter Confessions Week alone.
Although she was alone, Katie decided to participate in one of the tasks, which was to watch the audition tape of their new partner. However, it appeared that some of the things Tim agreed too did not echo into their journey on MAFS.
February 3, 2025
In a MAFS first, a groom has had a one-on-one with an expert. On Monday night’s episode, Eliot Donovan had a chat with MAFS zaddy John Aiken on why he was unhappy with his match, Lauren Hall.
Thankfully, Aiken ripped the controversial groom a new one and fans lapped it up online!

Alongside that drama, Monday night also hosted the first dinner party of the season. Unfortunately for both Lauren and Katie Johnstone, the 2025 brides rocked up to the party without their grooms.
While Eliot didn’t show face, Tim Gromie ended up attending the shindig, arriving a couple of moments after Katie spilled the beans on how he treated her throughout the whole experiment.
To give you a quick recap on this disgustingly delicious dinner party, Tim grilled Katie at the dinner table, stating that she was the one who didn’t put in all the effort into their relationship, despite him physically and emotionally withdrawing from their relationship from the start.
Tim: how are you meant to work on it with someone who doesn’t even want to try?

Literally everyone in Australia in their lounge rooms : “OH FUCKKKKK OFFFFFF TIM!!!!” #MAFSAustralia #mafsau #MAFSAUS pic.twitter.com/hoEukzxhWx
As a result, the other brides began to catch on to Tim’s facade, as he deflected all the attention from their relationshit and his actions.
After copping a confrontation, Tim ended up running away from the dinner table, and probably the experiment.

BUT we’ll have to wait until tomorrow’s episode for that tea.
February 2, 2025
Well there ya have it! We got our last two couples of the season.
On Sunday night’s episode, we were introduced to this year’s golden couple, Tony Mojanovski and Morena Farina…
And Jacqueline Burfoot and Ryan Donnelly.
While the episode had a a lot of dramatic moments, it was Tony’s cousin Steven who pissed MAFS fans off.
Why you ask? Well Steven believed Morena was too old for Tony and that he should’ve been “awarded” someone younger.
Maybe Steven and Tm Gromie should hang out and start a podcast or something…. YIKES!
January 30, 2025
Right off the heels of last night’s episode, villain groom Eliot Donovan has revealed the real reason why he left the show. The tea spill comes alongside rumours that he would be returning as an intruder. YAWWWWWWN.
On Thursday night’s episode, we’ve got two more couples, and just like Wednesday, this round of couples were fuarrrking wholesome but there was a big shock.
First up, we were introduced to Australia’s newest golden couple, Ashleigh Ackerman and Jake Luik, who hit off!!
And, for our big twist, we’ve got former flames (YES A SECOND PAIR OF EXES THIS SEASON), Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels.
But unlike Carina Mirabile and Paul Antoine, this duo broke up on amicable terms, so I have faith that these two could make it beyond the commitment couch.
On a more serious note, MAFS groom Adrian Araouzou‘s past domestic violence allegations resurfaced following his appearance on the show.
January 29, 2025
After last night’s episode, fans have absolutely slammed groom Tim Gromie for the way he treated his new bride Katie Johnstone. Plus, thanks to some sneaky lil’ paps, we may actually have some spoilers about the outcome of their relationship. Yep, that’s right, two episodes in and the spoilers are already coming in hot!!
In tonight’s episode, we have two more couples. As DJ Khaled prophesied: “Another one. Another one.”
This time around, we’ve got Awhina Rutene and Adrian Araouzou!
And our sixth couple, Billy Belcher and Sierah Swepstone.
While this episode was quite wholesome, Eliot Donovan and Lauren Hall‘s marriage has seemingly hit rock bottom after the 35-year-old groom decided to ditch the experiment because he wanted someone “younger”. Like, 25, which he admitted in his own words.
CYA!
January 28, 2025
Well, wasn’t episode one a doozy? From couples who already know each other to diabolical sisters, it truly had it all. Talk about a good start to the season!!!
While Tamara Hall claimed she was done dirty by the edit, MAFS executive producers Alexandra Spurway and John Walsh have said villain edits don’t exist.
“There is no villain edit,” Walsh toldPEDESTRIAN.TV.
In this episode of MAFS, we’ve got two new couples.
Our third couple to get hitched were Katie Johnstone and Tim Gromie.
And for our fourth, we got Jamie Marinos and Dave Hand.
Unfortunately for Katie, Tim has been standoffish the whole time, stating that he didn’t feel a “spark”. As a result, fans have dragged the new groom on social media.
January 27, 2025
We’re only hours until Married At First Sight 2025 premieres on Channel Nine, but it appears that the cast is already stirring up trouble.
According to Daily Mail Australia, it’s been reported that incoming bride Lauren Hall and incoming groom Tim Gromie are refusing to give up their Instagram accounts due to their reportedly shitty experiences on the show.
I wonder who’s jumping on IG live first.
It’s now 8.18pm and we’ve got our first two couples for MAFS 2025!
First up we’ve got first-ever former flames, Carina and Paul.
And traditional, nuclear loving, couple Lauren and Eliot.
January 26, 2025
MAFS producers have confirmed a big new twist that’s bound to put a spanner in the works for our incoming couples.
This year’s season will introduce Final Test Week — and no, it’s not a big cricket match… Sorry!
We don’t know too much about what Final Test Week will entail, but MAFS executive producer Alexandra Spurway said: “It tests our couples in a way that makes them think about whether or not they’re going to make it work or yeah on the outside.”
SpoOoOoky!
January 23, 2025
Before the season kicked off, PEDESTRIAN.TV sat down with expert John Aiken and executive producers Alexandra Spurway and John Walsh to have a chat about what really goes on behind the scenes on MAFS. So far, they’ve spilled on their favourite contestants, what truly pisses off producers and confronted the rumours that they deliberately mismatch couples.
I guess nothing is off the table!
January 15, 2025
The show hasn’t even started yet, but eagle-eyed punters have already clocked a cheeky editing fail in one of its promo pics.
After Channel Nine dropped the cast list, folks noticed that Tim and Jake‘s photos were not of the same quality as the other grooms.
Well, according to an insider who spoke to Daily Mail Australia, Jake was unavailable for the shoot as he was sick and Tim allegedly wanted nothing to do with the show post-filming.
Something tells me I need to watch Tim’s storyline once it drops!
January 13, 2025
Alrighty, things are beginning to ramp up ahead of the show’s premiere date, which is January 27 for those who are counting down the days.
In an exciting announcement, Channel Nine officially dropped the cast list for this season and my, oh, my. There are quite a few former reality TV stars and an actor in the mix… interesting.
Peep the full list, with bio and straight-up investigations right here.

However, after the teaser dropped, castmates from the 2025 batch were rumoured to be pissed about their edits on the show. As MJ said: Don’t blame it on the sunshine. Don’t blame it on the moonlight. Don’t blame it on the good times. Blame it on the edit!
