When Morena Farina and Tony Mojanovski met at the Married at First Sight Australia 2025 (MAFS) altar, it looked as though we may have witnessed the start of a long and happy union.
However, while the newlyweds were buzzing about their matchup at their ceremony, things started to go downhill shortly after.
So, where do Morena and Tony stand now? Fortunately for us gossip mongers, Morena’s hopped online and spilled a tonne of tea about her relationship. Here’s what we know.
Morena and Tony’s pairing
Tony, 53, is a council worker from Port Kembla in Wollongong, New South Wales, who earned local hero status a few years ago when he attempted to save a teenager swept off the notorious Honeycomb Rocks.
Morena is a wedding MC who also works as a DJ. Prior to the season kicking off, Morena, 57, was confirmed by an insider to Chattr as the oldest bride to appear this season.
According to his Channel 9 bio, Tony wanted a partner that’s genuine, supportive and truly committed. Meanwhile, Morena was hoping to find a king who will treat her like a queen.
Are they still together?
Unfortunately, the honeymoon phase is well and truly over for Morena and Tony.
The two finally called it quits on Episode 21, with one of the wildest Commitment Ceremonies to date.
Morena went MIA before the ceremony, leaving Tony to face the experts alone. It was looking like she’d be a no-show when she came charging through the doors, exclaiming “Did you really think I wasn’t going to come? Did you really think I was going to give him the last word?!”.
On the couch, Tony said Morena’s personality was “too much” for him. Morena came for Tony, claiming his aversions weren’t about her personality, but about her age.
She accused Tony of using his wanting-a-baby excuse as a shitty cop-out, and the experts confirmed Tony never once mentioned wanting children before.
There was some intense back-and-forth, with Morena mourning the lost potential of the HUGE “penetration” of a connection she experienced on their wedding day. An interesting way to put it.
Ultimately, however, they both agreed to leave, with Morena writing “Good riddance” on her commitment card.
What else went down behind the scenes?
Morena went rogue on her DJ social media account and posted spoilers galore about her and Tony splitting up. On top of that, she did a podcast with Abbie Chatfield during which she confirmed multiple bombshells about their time together — including claiming that Tony wanted to bring his wife onto the show.
Further confirming her departure from the show, Morena literally told Instagram account Mafs.reality that she wrote ‘leave’ at the Commitment Ceremony that will air on February 16.
On February 6, former MAFS groom Harrison Boon posted messages that Morena sent him and claimed that she’d given him permission to share them. The messages said that her relationship with Tony began to come crashing down during the first Commitment Ceremony, which aired on February 9.
“I don’t care that I didn’t find love. Please spell that out. I don’t care that he is separated and dating. It took three years to get my divorce, so it’s okay,” Morena’s text began.
“What I care about is that he told everyone at the Commitment Ceremony, which is this week, that he loves his wife,” she wrote at the time.
Morena appeared to suggest that production attempted to bring Tony’s ex-wife onto the show.
“He wants his wife, and he really thought he could come on the show and get his wife in the show. It would make good TV.
“What the hell? And then the production thinks, ‘Well, I’m gonna give it to her because she’s not doing what we want her to do’. I ruined their filming. This is why there was no footage on our honeymoon.”
Ooft. And, a previous report by Daily Mail suggested that Morena was blindsided when she discovered that Tony was still married.
“It all came crashing down when Tony dropped the bombshell” during their MAFS honeymoon, a source told Daily Mail.
Another insider close to Tony added that it led to tension, with Tony reportedly feeling “pressured” by the situation.
“It got so bad that at one point, he wanted to tap out,” the source continued.
The publication even claimed Morena was spotted “looking downcast outside One Global Resorts last week, suitcases in tow” after reportedly quitting the MAFS experiment in tears.
Well from the sounds of it, it’s a good thing for both of them that that dumpster fire of a relationship is over. Good riddances all round!
