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 MAFS 2025 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 centre 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 Married at First Sight production claim the couple shares undeniable chemistry, telling Daily Mail they’re “one of the key couples set to steal the hearts of viewers.”

Will they be the MAFS 2025 version of golden couple Cam Merchant and Jules Robinson?

Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
