Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2025 is back on our screens, and we have been graced with the gorgeous Ashleigh Ackerman as a bride.

While she’s looking for love on MAFS, this Gold Coast local is so much more than just a bride, so read on to find out below everything you need to know about MAFS’ Ashleigh.

MAFS’ Ashleigh owns a dance company

The 34-year-old is a creative soul who runs her own business, Ashleigh Lee Dance Company, with her mum and sister. According to the company’s Instagram, they focus on fun and confidence development.

It was founded in 2012 and provides lessons in Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Acrobatics and Performance dance.

What is Ashleigh like?

Ashleigh describes herself as playful and caring. She is looking for someone honest, warm, and kind. She hopes to meet her forever love on MAFS and find someone with whom she can start a family.

Prior to the experiment, she lived with her sister and nephew in a house full of animals. Will she move in with her new husband after the experiment? We have our fingers crossed!

Who is Ashleigh paired with on MAFS?

Ashleigh has been coupled up with high school teacher Jake Luik on MAFS 2025.

Jake works as a well-being coordinator for Year 9 students at Southern River College, a public high school in Gosnells, Western Australia.

Sparks were flying when Jake and Ashleigh first locked eyes, and fans couldn’t get enough of the adorable new couple.

“I really need Jake and Ashleigh to work. The trauma of the last few days is real,” one person hilariously wrote on Twitter.

“Dear @MarriedAU producers If Jake and Ashleigh don’t work out… I shall not return to watch next year’s season,” another tweeted.
