MAFS' Adrian and Awhina

Adrian Araouzou has been a divisive character on this season of Married At First Sight (MAFS), and fans were left shocked last night when he and Awhina Rutene both appeared to dump each other before ending the Final Vows episode hand in hand and going home together.

The two have had a well-documented rollercoaster relationship. They share an undeniable physical chemistry but clash when it comes to overall communication and future plans. Adrian is not keen to leave Sydney and his family, and Awhina is unable to uproot her life in Perth with her young son and move interstate for Adrian.

While MAFS fans have been left wildly confused by the pair’s decision to break-up-but-not-really during Final Vows, Adrian has now taken to TikTok to upload his full Final Vows, and dropped a bit of a bombshell in the process.

MAFS’ Adrian’s Final Vows reveal unknown tidbit about Awhina’s living situation

In his full Final Vows, Adrian touches on the instant connection with Awhina and all the good times they had together, before going into their inability to communicate in a “healthy way”.

After acknowledging he could’ve been a better partner, Adrian then goes into the homestays at Perth, and says although Awhina “opened his eyes” as to what a life together could look like, he had one concern he couldn’t shake.

“There was one significant concern that played on my mind: your living situation. I didn’t know if I would feel comfortable being with someone who lives with their ex-partner,” Adrian wrote. “But my feelings for you were so strong, I chose to set my concerns aside, and you have assured me you’d move out post-experiment.”

The full Final Vows were numerous slides long, but some fans definitely picked up on the little tidbit of Awhina still living with her ex.

“Did no one read to the end where Awhina was still living with her ex? Like that’s enough to give anyone doubts or an uncomfortable feeling pursuing a relationship!!” one person commented, with Adrian replying, “Yep. I was surprised they didn’t show that on homestays. But they had a different storyline, I guess.”

Adrian also stipulated in the comments that he said numerous times he never expected Awhina to move interstate. “I said a number of times I would never expect her to move away from the father of her child. They never showed it,” he wrote.

“A lot of this won’t make sense as you guys have seen the narrative they wanted to show. So keep that in mind when reading them,” Adrian then said about his vows.

“I watched your live the other night, you can tell the feelings you had/have for Awhina are genuine. Your face lights up when you mention her. You can’t act that,” one fan commented underneath.

Maybe it isn’t the end for Adrian and Awhina after all? Strap yourselves back in, folks.
