Two couples got married during the Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 premiere, but it was bride Lauren Halls sister Tamara Hall who unequivocally stole the show.

Lauren was introduced to viewers as a business owner who wants to “serve” her partner in every possible way. Meanwhile, her groom, Eliot Donovan, made it very clear that he had high standards and was willing to walk away if he didn’t think his bride was up to scratch.

As if their match-up wasn’t chaotic enough, Tamara was shown entering her sister Lauren’s bridal suite, where she declared that her sibling was a “bridezilla” and “horrendous”. Lauren countered the accusations by saying that the crew would need a “valium, champagne and a taser gun” to handle Tamara.

And, viewers hoping for drama weren’t left disappointed. At Lauren’s wedding, Tamara flirted with the best man, called the event an “abortion”, and threw a tantrum because she didn’t get a pescatarian meal, all before storming out and claiming that she wanted “compensation”.

What has Tamara said about the MAFS episode?

Tamara watched the MAFS 2025 premiere along with the rest of Australia on January 27 and took to Instagram to air her thoughts.

“I know how it looks – I watched the same episode as everyone else, and without context, I totally get it. But there’s over 18 hours of footage you didn’t see. I’ll be sharing a tell-all soon, so stay tuned!”

The Brisbane-based real estate agent said that she wasn’t taking the show too seriously.

“Just a little reminder – this is a reality TV show, heavily edited to get the highest ratings, and I earned the villain badge by refusing to conform. It’s not real life guys, so don’t take it too personally! It’s out of my control, so I’m fully embracing it – the good, the bad, and the ugly.”
