Carina Mirabile and Paul Antoine started off as one of the strongest couples on Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025.
After overcoming a blip at the altar where Carina revealed that she’d been on a date with Paul before and he’d ghosted her, the couple have gone from strength to strength. The MAFS bride even appeared to confirm their relationship status in a recent Chattr interview.
However, things got a bit rocky when Paul punched a wall in a violent outburst, and then outed one of Carina’s shady comments about Awhina Rutene‘s twin sister Cleo Rutene.
So, are the genetically blessed couple still together post-show, or have they gone their separate ways? Here’s what we found out!
Are Carina and Paul still together?
Things don’t look good for Carina and Paul’s romantic future, despite the MAFS bride insinuating that they were still together in an interview with Chattr in early Feb.
“To be fair, my phone is going off, and I’m just enjoying life with Paul and all the rest of the cast that are my friends,” Carina said at the time when asked about the never-ending MAFS drama.
LIFE WITH PAUL???
Carina dropped even more hints when asked about her Valentine’s Day plans.
“Paul’s still in the mines, he’s actually finishing off his last swing and he’s got eight days to go now… so I’m in Melbourne with the girls, and we’re doing a girls’ Valentine’s Day tomorrow,” she spilled.
“We’re celebrating Jamie [Marinos’] birthday, Rhi [Disljenkovic’s] birthday, and while Paul’s away working hard, I’m spending the dosh.”
However, while those tidbits certainly sounded promising, signs suggest that the couple is actually donezo.
When do Carina and Paul break up?
A source told Chattr that Carina and Paul make it to Final Vows, but both agreed to end their relationship there.
Their relationship is believed to implode during an “explosive fight” in Final Test Week, when the experts issue a ‘grass is greener’ challenge. Contestants are given the opportunity to meet another match that experts had lined up for them, without discussing it with their partners.
“Paul took up the challenge and Carina thought it was cheating, so she cried about it. This challenge basically broke up their relationship,” the insider claimed.
“Carina felt really uncomfortable, and she was saying at the Dinner Party, ‘How could you do this knowing how uncomfortable I was with the Couple Swap, and now you go and take up the challenge?’.”
On top of that, a TikTok user shared screenshots of a flirty conversation she claims took place between her and Paul in November 2024, shortly after Final Vows was filmed.
To add even more fuel to the fire, a recent Instagram video spelt trouble for Paul and Carina’s future.
An influencer named Jasky Singh shared a clip of himself interviewing Paul in Scarborough, Western Australia. The chat took place after MAFS had finished filming, but before it began airing, and Paul wasn’t wearing his wedding ring.
Carina and Paul’s rocky MAFS 2025 start
The MAFS couple seemed like a match made in heaven during their ceremony. However, cracks became apparent straight after their vows when Carina confessed that she’d been on a date with Paul before, and he had ghosted her.
Despite their rocky start, the couple patched things up at their reception when Paul approached Carina’s parents and confessed that he wasn’t in the right place emotionally to start a relationship when he went on a date with Carina.
Paul assured both his bride and her parents that he was now ready for something serious, and they seemed to accept his explanation.
Carina told Chattr that while she was “frustrated and shocked” at first, she began to see her pairing with Paul as “kind of a relief”.
“We are quite similar, and we can relate to one another, and I think it kind of worked out in our favour,” she said.
Their relationship went from strength to strength until one evening, after a night out with other participants, the couple got into a heated argument. During that argument, Paul punched a door, and while he subsequently apologised and expressed remorse for his actions, the incident may have spelled the end of their relationship.
Carina and Paul’s pairing
Carina comes from a large Italian family and is the only one of five siblings who isn’t married. Going into MAFS she was hoping to find someone tall, handsome, European and educated.
Paul certainly fits that brief, and he told the experts he was looking for a partner with European flair, a smile that lights up a room, and a great sense of humour — which sounds exactly like Carina.
Will the couple make it to the Final Vows? We’re not so sure anymore.
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
