It’s back, baby! The Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 premiere has officially landed, and if drama’s what you’re after (let’s be real, it is), you’re in for a treat.
The Hens and Bucks parties set the stage for an unforgettable season, introducing us to the MAFS 2025 cast (and their nightmare relatives) in all their chaotic glory.
Plus, our first couples tied the knot! Carina Mirabile and Paul Antoine (who awkwardly already knew each other and were on shaky terms after Paul ghosted her) and Eliot Donovan and Lauren Hall all said their “I dos” to their TV brides and grooms.
From instant fan favourites like Tony Mojanovski and Katie Johnson to questionable, to say the least, characters like Eliot (who’s giving top-tier douche vibes) and 1920s tradwife hopeful Lauren, there’s already plenty to talk about. We also got some very interesting side characters, like Lauren’s sister Tamara, who, to put it mildly, made for some insane television.
But we weren’t the only ones with hot takes! Keep reading for some of the best Twitter reactions to the MAFS 2025 premiere.

I swear to god if this show ruins Katie I WILL riot and burn down the studio. If this nightmare of a show hurts her in ANYWAY I’ll lose it, it is very clear she’s insecure and I will go to battle for her. she must be protected at all costs #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/EtwtHQmqUg

Katie, the founder of EATS HQ, a Queensland-based social enterprise restaurant, is without a doubt a sweet angel who deserves all the love on this season of MAFS!
And some MAFS 2025 villains!
Anyone else think Paul's apology was fake af?

He's just trying to make himself look better because the whole country knows that he ghosted her#MAFS#MAFSAu pic.twitter.com/0hrgHvRCCE

So basically, Paul ghosted Carina back in the day, but that was the old him. Or so he says.
Eyebrows were raised over Paul and Carina
Fancy that…

26 million people in Australia and just so happens the first 2 contestants have met.
Such a coincidence.#MAFS #MAFSAu pic.twitter.com/SWuHT505oK
well give them both an oscar for not letting on that they knew each other during the wedding ceremony #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/Va07jV9CUv

Honestly, the fact that Paul and Carina didn't let it show ONCE that they knew each other throughout the whole ceremony is almost Oscar-worthy. Or Logies-worthy, at least… 😛 #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/OIvVqVSJuU

I mean, it’s pretty suss considering Carina has a background in acting, right?
And people had A LOT to say about Eliot and Lauren
Elliot paired with Lauren.

“Men should provide and protect,l.”
“I wish I was born in 1920!”
God I’m already over the trad wife. She’s very clearly saying shit to be ~~~controversial~~~ and I’m already bored of her, her attitude and her “quirky” opinions #mafs #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/49lpvxEUlr
Elliot & Lauren’s wedding is one of the worst I have ever seen on this show. #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/QqnIS2hgbt

HOLD ON. ARE THEY ACTUALLY PAIRING MR “SKY HIGH STANDARDS” WITH TRADWIFE? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMFG
— Steph the sarcastic sequin (@StephSequin) January 27, 2025
Not the producers essentially going “yeah we know they both suck. We just decided to let the egos fight to the death”. I cannot WAIT for this chaos lmao. #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/30jwZyvbKg
Masculine this. Feminine that. Lauren and Elliot are boring and trying too hard to be controversial. this is gonna end in flames and honestly, the sooner the better cause my tv isn’t big enough for both these ego’s and self involved BS #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/CkOtbhVZOd
— Steph the sarcastic sequin (@StephSequin) January 27, 2025
We’re not going to lie, this MAFS couple is pretty tough to love. Still, Lauren somehow comes across as the more likeable sister in the family?
Also Lauren’s sister, Tamara, straight up sucks
Who needs an enemy when you have a sister like her? Diabolical. #MAFS #MAFSAU #MAFSAustralia pic.twitter.com/AK6HcPPIoT

To be fair, Tamara recently shared on her Insta that she knows it wasn’t a great look but pointed out there were hours of footage that didn’t make it to the MAFS 2025 premiere. She also teased a “tell-all” coming soon and, boy, we can’t wait!
Plus, poor Billy!

Don’t let the haters get to you, Billy Belcher! Baby Reindeer or not, you’re still an absolute cutie in our eyes.
Well, what a time! If the MAFS 2025 premiere didn’t already have you buzzing, the best is still to come. With more weddings, honeymoons, dinner parties, and all the glorious drama on the horizon, this season is shaping up to be unhinged perfection. Our popcorn is ready!
