With the premiere of Married at First Sight 2025 (MAFS) fast approaching, the buzz is building, and the juicy on-set gossip keeps spilling.
Fans are growing more eager for the drama-packed season, and one bride who’s set to stand out is pocket-rocket Melbourne influencer Jamie Marinos.
Here’s everything we know about her so far.
What does MAFS’ Jamie do for work?
Per Jamie’s LinkedIn, she works as a Digital Account Manager for a Melbourne-based marketing firm.
She graduated from the University of South Australia in 2017 with a Bachelor in Marketing and Communications.
She’s also got a serious social media following, with over 362,000 likes on her now-private TikTok account.
Jamie is the “life of the party”
According to Daily Mail Australia, Jamie has been described by sources as the “Queen of drama.”
She’s “loud, fun, and probably one of the most outrageous people you’ll meet,” an insider told the outlet.
Another production source said Jamie is “the life of the party” and keeps everyone, from cast to crew, buzzing.
Friends describe Jamie as “the best chick out”
Friends of Jamie aren’t shy about singing her praises. “I have nothing bad to say about her,” one of Jamie’s friends dished to Daily Mail.
“She’s the best chick out. One of a kind and is such a laugh – always up for a good time!”
“She protects those she loves – will always have so much love for her,” the friend continued.
Another added, “What you see is what you get. She’s genuine.”
Honestly, she’s sounding pretty great so far.
Jamie’s has a past with groom Teejay Halkias
The MAFS drama is getting started early apparently, as Jamie is reportedly familiar with one of the upcoming season’s grooms, Teejay Halkias.
According to Daily Mail, one of the season’s most jaw-dropping moments will be when Jamie casually confesses to a past fling with Teejay right in front of his bride-to-be, Beth Kelly!
There’s tension brewing between MAFS Jamie Marinos and bride Awhina Rutene
There’s already talk of simmering tensions on the MAFS set between Jamie and fellow bride Awhina Rutene.
Rumours are that the two will be at the centre of some of the season’s most dramatic moments.
MAFS’ Jamie Marinos is matched with Dave Thomas Hand
Jamie’s TV groom is “TikTok tradie” Dave Thomas Hand, a 36-year-old caulking business owner.
The towering 6.6-foot Dave is an influencer in his own right, with nearly 30,000 followers tuning in to watch his caulking content on TikTok.

Leaked photos show the pair tying the TV knot at Sydney’s Carriageworks, but based on the MAFS 2025 teaser aired at Channel 9’s annual Upfronts, their relationship might have a rocky start.
As Jamie herself puts it, “I literally bamboozle Dave.” Looks like it’s going to be a wild ride!
