The MAFS 2025 Cast Contains A Few Familiar Faces

Views: 68

It’s almost MAFS season, babies—so, it’s time to meet the contestants. Although channel nine is yet to release an official cast list, reality TV sleuths have already tracked down a number of people who will appear on the show. You can expect your Married At First Sight cast to come from all walks of life. For season 12, MAFS has tapped influencers, DJs, former Bachelor contestants—the Australian reality TV spectrum—for its chaotic cast list. There’s even one returning bride from a previous season, and potentially a fan-favourite groom.

If unfamiliar with the premise of the show, the idea is that two strangers—who have been matched by MAFS‘ team of experts—meet on their wedding day, say their vows (or not), and then proceed to ‘date’… while living together and having frequent group dinners with the other contestants. So, without further ado, meet the new cast of Married At First Sight Australia.

Who Is In Married At First Sight 2025?

First up, a summary of our (known) brides and grooms. Remember, without an official cast list from the producers, this remains speculative. Ordinarily, there are 10 main couples in the MAFS cast. In season 12, there will reportedly be two intruder couples who join during the season. Here’s who is speculated to be in the 2025 cast.

Unfortunately, most of the stars have their Instagram accounts set to private for now, per their MAFS contracts. We’ll keep you updated!

Ashleigh Ackerman

Ackerman is a Gold Coast native, where she runs a dance school with her mum and sister.

Paul Antoine

Paul Antoine is no stranger to reality TV, having previously appeared on The Real Love Boat back in 2022. Antoine is from France, and was born in Nice and raised in the coastal town of Villefranche-sur-Mer. Now based in Perth, he’s runs a business as a strength and conditioning coach.

Adrian Araouzou

Adrian, 36, owns a sportswear brand PAKDsport and is a white belt in jiu jitsu. Dubbed the ‘dessert king’, Araouzou is behind the popular SweeetSundayz dessert Instagram account.

Billy Belcher

Billy, 31, hails from England and reportedly brings a “bold personality and unique style” to the show, per the Daily Mail. He’s reportedly a plasterer by trade. “Billy brings that unique British charm and authenticity that we believe will resonate well with the audience,” an insider has shared.

Jacqueline Burfoot

Jacqueline Burfoot is a 29-year-old lawyer from New Zealand.

Veronica Cloherty

Veronica, a former Miss Universe contestant and actress, is reportedly coming in as an intruder bride for Eliot Donovan.

Rhi Disljenkovic

Rhi Disljenkovic is an IT account manager but has been making a name for herself as a fitness blogger and influencer. Rhi is reportedly paired with Jeff Gobbels—and the two have already dated in real life! If you heard rumours of “two exes” being paired together at the chapel, so to speak—it’s Rhi and Jeff.

Eliot Donovan

Eliot reportedly leaves the show early after initially being paired with Lauren Hall. He is later paired with Veronica.

Morena Farina

Morena is a wedding MC and DJ represented by Top Dog Entertainment. She’s in her mid-40s and a mother of two. Morena was paired with Tony, however, Yahoo! has suggested she may have been removed from production for an unknown reason.

Jeff Gobbels

Jeff is an actor who once has appeared in three episodes of Neighbours. However, that’s not all he does in his spare time. His LinkedIn lists him as the Founder and Director of Splash Vodka, and an AFL coach.

Tim Gromie

Tim Gromie doesn’t have much of an online footprint, but we know he’s in the show and has reportedly been paired with Katie.

Teejay Halkias

Reality TV fans might remember Teejay from Big Brother Australia. The striking business development manager from Queensland is back on screens, reportedly joining season 12 of MAFS as an intruder. He’s rumoured to be paired with Beth.

Lauren Hall

Lauren is the owner of a corporate gifting business, Mayfair Lane Gifts. The MAFS bride was initially paired with Eliot on season 12, but the Daily Mail reports her groom abruptly packed-up and left. Lauren (and Eliot) are tipped to return as intruders.

Katie Johnson

Katie runs a social enterprise called EATS HQ. (EATS stands for Empowering All Through Support.) The Australian café and hospitality chain aims to assist communities in Peru.

Beth Kelly

Beth Kelly hails from the UK and is an operations manager at a high-end hair salon. She’s paired with Teejay Hawkins.

Jake Luik

Jake Luik hails from WA, where he works as a wellbeing co-ordinator at an independent public high school. He’s matched with Ashley Ackerman.

Jamie Marinos

Melbourne-based Jamie is an account manager at a digital marketing firm—and she’s set to bring the drama to season 12. The main thing we know about Jamie is that she confesses to having slept with Teejay at his wedding to Beth, in front of the new bride.

Carina Maribile

Carina is an actress and journalist who originally hails from Western Australia.

Tony Mojanovski

Tony Mojanovski is from Port Kembla, and once made headlines for saving three fisherman who were swept off rocks. Tony is paired with Morena, but things apparently go south for the couple after it’s revealed Tony is still technically married to his ex.

Awhina Rhutene

Not much is known about Awhina, apart from that she’s a mother of two and she’s most likely paired with Adrian, the dessert king.

Sierah Swepstone

You may have seen Sierah before as a former contestant on The Bachelor. In 2021, Sierah sought love with Jimmy Nicholson, but was sent home. A self-described “tall, horny bogan”, we hope she can find love this time around.
