Meet Sierah Swepstone, the first ex-Bachelor contestant looking for love on MAFS 2025

Get pumped because Married At First Sight 2025 (MAFS) is just a few weeks away! And with the MAFS 2025 cast list now out, we can officially confirm that The Bachelor’s Sierah Swepstone will be heading to the Skye Suites as a bride this season.

If that name doesn’t ring a bell for you, then maybe you’ll remember her as the self-professed “tall, horny bogan” from Jimmy Nicholson‘s season.

Here’s everything to know about Sierah.

Sierah Swepstone is the first ex-Bachelor contestant on MAFS

While there always seems to be reality TV crossovers — like MAFS 2024’s Ben Walters apparently being approached for The Bachelors, and Janelle Han choosing MAFS 2023 instead of receiving roses — this will actually be the first time an ex-contestant has appeared on the MAFS social experiment.

And if it was going to be anyone, we’re low-key excited it’s Sierah. Her exit from Jimmy’s 2021 season of The Bachelor was iconic.

Remember when she told all of Australia that she “definitely had chlamydia”? I’m all for a woman of honesty who doesn’t give two shits about the judgement.

Apparently Sierah was poached by MAFS producers

Daily Mail Australia reported that Sierah was poached by MAFS producers. An insider told the publication, “She is a nutter but amazing for television because she just doesn’t care.”

Honestly it was a shame that she was on Jimmy’s season (because it had one of the worst ratings in television history), however, it’s good she’ll be making her return on a show people actually care to watch.

I’m getting Lauren Dunn 2.0 vibes.

Sierah will be joining fellow reality TV personality Paul Antoine from The Real Love Boat, who’s also set to enter the MAFS 2025 experiment.

Alongside them is a wave of actor hopefuls, including Ryan Donnelly, former Neighbours actor turned businessman Jeff Gobbels, and actress-influencer Carina Mirabile.

I can smell their new followers from here.

Who is she matched with on MAFS?

Sierah’s TV groom is 31-year-old Englishman Billy Belcher.

A plasterer from the UK with no reality TV experience, Billy was reportedly cast to bring a “dash of excitement” to the show, according to The Daily Mail

The pair were seen checking into One Global Resorts Green Square (formerly Skye Suites) together, even coordinating in pink for the cast’s first dinner party. The two look promising together. Now, let’s see it on screen!
