Every Married At First Sight (MAFS) season we’re told it will be like nothing like anything you’ve ever seen before. However, I actually think the 2025 MAFS couples are going to bring the goods with reports that several pairings from the MAFS cast have already quit.

Daily Mail Australia reports that one groom quit the experiment just hours after his MAFS wedding, which I’m sure aggravated the production team (and the budget they used for his nuptials) greatly.

The groom in question is Eliot Donovan. He is set to marry Lauren Hall (who, funnily enough, is Jono McCollough‘s ex).

MAFS couple quits straight after the wedding

“Eliot was anything but impressed when he met Lauren. From that moment, it was downhill,” an insider told Daily Mail Australia.

“By the next morning, Eliot wanted out — no second thoughts, no hesitation. Everyone was shocked, asking, ‘WTF is going on?’

“Eliot was nothing short of disrespectful, not just to Lauren but to the entire crew.”

Photos from the first MAFS dinner party support this theory with Lauren arriving solo.

That sounds bloody horrible for her and we hope they bring in a replacement groom who respects and appreciates her.

More MAFS couples quit the experiment early

It doesn’t end there. Rumours have surfaced that even more MAFS couples quit at the first Commitment Ceremony — within weeks of the show beginning filming.

“We’re already down six people and it’s only been two weeks. The pressure on the remaining cast is enormous, and it’s creating a lot of tension,” an insider told Daily Mail Australia.

Production are reportedly looking to fill the cast hole with intruders.
