If there’s one thing we know about Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2025, it’s that the show has a way of picking some, well, controversial grooms. From Dean Wells to Jack Dunkley, the series hasn’t been short of men who have enraged viewers with their remarks over the years.
This season, Eliot Donovan looked like he’d take the stand for MAFS’ most controversial groom for 2025, and then Tim Gromie came along. Adrian Araouzou also threw his hat in the ring after fans were less than impressed with his initial reservations about his new wife, Awhina Rutene, having a child.
Now, Adrian has spilt some tea, telling Chattr that there was more drama at the MAFS bucks party than what was originally shown, saying he clashed with another groom and was surprised the show didn’t air the argument.
MAFS’ Adrian Araouzou on his clash with Eliot Donovan
After Yahoo Lifestyle reported that the MAFS bucks party “wasn’t as tame as what was shown,” we asked Adrian about the drama and the 30-year-old admitted he was part of it.
“I was definitely one of the people involved in the drama. Elliot and I definitely didn’t see eye to eye,” he confessed. “I’m surprised they didn’t play it, but I did say in the voxxie that if they give Eliot a dominant woman, he’ll leave before the dinner party. I think they [producers and editors] didn’t want to put that in the episode as it would’ve spoiled it.”
When asked if he and Eliot resolved their differences, Adrian teased that we’ll have to “wait and see”, alluding to more upcoming screen time between the duo when Eliot makes his return as an intruder.
“We both agreed that we both had our strong opinions, and we both agreed to disagree. So we have to see what happens,” Adrian said.
