We’re only in week two of Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 and already we’ve had a cheating scandal leak between two very unexpected participants, with The Daily Mail breaking earlier today that Adrian Araouzou (who is married to Awhina Rutene) and Sierah Swepstone (who is currently wed to Billy Belcher) develop an unlikely bond.
While Adrian has now explained his version of events to Chattr, teasing that MAFS fans will have to “wait and see” what happens next, The Daily Mail shared that Adrian and Sierah’s friendship saw the two go on private dinner dates which they hid from their partners, with Sierah reportedly opening up to Adrian in a way that she hadn’t been able to with Billy.
What happened between MAFS’ Adrian Araouzou and Sierah Swepstone?
As per The Daily Mail report, the site alleges after a “boozy first weekend” in Sydney, Sierah and Adrian ended up back at her apartment where they stayed up late getting to know each other, with Billy watching football down the hall with a handful of the other MAFS participants.
Days later, Adrian and Sierah then had dinner, something they hid from both their partners, with whispers starting to circulate amongst the cast which resulted in Billy finding out in front of everyone at a commitment ceremony that Sierah had no issues letting down her walls with Adrian.
“Sierah wouldn’t open up to him [Billy], but she did with Adrian. And he only found out in front of the rest of us. It was so embarrassing. I felt terrible for him,” an unnamed participant revealed.
The two allegedly met up again, with tensions then reaching a breaking point at the next dinner party with Billy and Awhina confronting their respective partners in front of the entire group.
Adrian speaks out on cheating allegations: “I care about everyone”
In an interview with Chattr, Adrian downplayed the rumours while teasing fans would have to “wait and see” what happens next.
“I’m a nice person, I care about everyone. Everyone has feelings, and if I see someone upset, regardless of who it was on the show, whether it be someone on the show or production, you know, I will definitely go out of my way to make sure that they’re okay,” Adrian said. “And, yeah, I mean, with me and Sierah, that’s what I’ve done. And as for any funny business, we have to wait and see.”
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
