It’ll be a little while still until this year’s Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2025 cast get their social media accounts back, but already some of them are being touted as Australia’s next big influencers.
Every season of MAFS the participants become household names, but not everyone makes it in the influencing world afterwards. Remember last year’s cast minus Lucinda Light? Me neither.
With participants like Jamie Marinos and Jacqui Burfoot becoming household names, we decided to ask a talent agency who would be the most likely to rake in the big bucks and keep their star on the rise after this season of MAFS.
MAFS’ Carina Mirable tipped to become a successful influencer
Talent agency NEON MGMT told Chattr that Carina Mirable would be one to watch following her MAFS story arc, saying she’d likely build a “long-standing and successful career”.
“She is likeable, authentic, and has positioned herself as a fashion-forward leader of the show. We also believe that her standing up for herself and her values in the last few episodes, and drawing a line in the sand with Paul was incredibly strong, and will be inspiring for a lot of young women around Australia,” they said.
While rates and budgets for how much a MAFS star could earn on social media have various factors, the talent agency said Carina’s following and media presence would start her on an average of $5k for content promotions.
The other MAFS stars who will find success post-experiment
Other that Carina’s potential as Australia’s next fashion icon, NEON MGMT also highlighted Jamie, as well as Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels as becoming bigger names.
“Jamie’s quick wit and vulnerability means she connects deeply with her audience which is strong for brand ambassadorships,” they said.
“Rhi and Jeff are the lovebirds of the season which will definitely have strong appeal for brands and audiences, as viewers are invested in their long-term relationship success post-show. We also can see Veronica [Cloherty] and Awhina [Rutene] getting more into the content scene.”
Does staying on MAFS until Final Vows give you a higher chance of success post-show?
People often accuse MAFS participants of staying on the show and propelling their relationship forward longer than they should, due to wanting to increase their airtime and have a higher chance of fame.
“Obviously the longer the contestants have airtime, the better chance their following will continue to grow,” NEON MGMT told us. “That being said; audiences can tell when a contestant isn’t in the experiment for the right reasons. While more airtime means more exposure; it is extremely powerful when contestants know their limits, speak vulnerably and honestly, and call it when the time is right.”
The agency said leaving the experiment before Final Vows isn’t a dealbreaker, but staying until the halfway point of the season may help.
“From previous seasons usually the contestants who make it at least halfway through the season have more success post-MAFS than those who may leave the show in the first few episodes/weeks.”
