The first MAFS 2025 groom has leaked & shock horror, he’s been on reality TV before

Another MAFS cast member plucked from Channel Ten's reality TV graveyard!

Paul Antoine is the very first MAFS 2025 groom to be announced and we’re unsurprised that he’s a recognisable face.

While ex-The Bachelor contestant Siera Swepstone was just announced as a MAFS 2025 bride, she won’t be the only one who’s dipped her toes in a dating reality show before.

Yep, Daily Mail Australia revealed that Paul — someone who was on reality TV just two years ago — would be one of MAFS 2025 grooms after he was spotted on the set of the show last week.

What reality show has Paul Antoine been on before?

Paul starred on The Real Love Boat Australia in 2022. The short-lived show was basically Love Island on a boat and it was truly as bad as it sounds.

Paul was one of 21 singles who tried to find love with the help of host Darren McMullen, cruise director Hannah Ferrier, head of entertainment Daniel Doody and captain Paolo Arrigo.

Obviously, his quest for love was about as successful as the show itself. Sorry. But we do have some footage of Paul in action on the boat to prepare us for MAFS 2025.

Paul is a fitness coach living in Perth, however, he is originally from France.

When he was on The Real Love Boat Australia, he was ready to find someone down-to-earth and was a fan of long chats — so we can only assume that’s what he’ll be looking for this time around too.

Paul is the third MAFS 2025 cast member to have leaked, following Siera and Rhi Disljenkovic, a fitness blogger from Melbourne.

So with three MAFS 2025 cast members leaked already, we have two ex-reality TV stars and one fitness blogger? I don’t know about you, but it’s all smelling a bit influencer-y already to us.
