With Married at First Sight 2025 (MAFS) 2025 production in full swing, fans are buzzing about Season 12, and the drama is set to deliver.
One bride apparently we can thank for some of the juiciest plot points is Awhina Rutene, a fiery mother of one who’s rumored to bring plenty of heat to the experiment.
So, who is Awhina, and why is she tipped to be one of the most unforgettable brides yet?
MAFS’ Awhina is a fun mum
According to a source close to the Mafs Uncensored Instagram page, Awhina can be described as “a mum who loves to cook, bake, and host her own dinner parties.”
The source also reveals that the Perth-based Awhina enjoys nights out and doing makeup.
She’s not afraid to cause trouble
Described by Daily Mail Australia as having a “feisty edge,” Awhina is already earning a reputation as the wildcard of the season.
Her outspoken attitude and rule-breaking tendencies have reportedly earned the praise of the show’s producers.
“Awhina’s rule-breaking makes her unpredictable – and that’s exactly what makes her so captivating,” a production insider told the outlet.
“She’s bold, she’s fearless, and she’s got no problem confronting anyone who crosses her.”
MAFS’ Awhina is set to have beef with bride Jamie Marinos
Awhina’s dynamic with fellow bride Jamie Marinos is set to be one of the season’s biggest talking points.
According to Daily Mail, the two are frequently at the center of the show’s most dramatic moments.
Awhina is matched with Adrian Araouzou
Awhina’s TV groom is 31-year-old Adrian Araouzou, an entrepreneur and owner of the sports leisure brand PAKDsport.
Sources close to the production claim the couple shares undeniable chemistry, telling Daily Mail they’re “one of the key couples set to steal the hearts of viewers.”
According to the outlet, the duo has already been spotted together off-camera checking into the luxurious One Global Resorts in Green Square (formerly Skye Suites).
But does this mean they’ve already left the show? With rumours of a few walkouts this season, it’s certainly not impossible!
