A body language expert has commented on the latest Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 Commitment Ceremony, noting that there was a “massive difference” in Dave Hand’s behaviour.
ICYMI, Dave was quiet during his couch session with wife Jamie Marinos, with some fans believing he looked uncomfortable while she was raving about her perfect husband.
Combined Communications Specialist and Body Language Expert Scott Taylor took to TikTok to analyse Dave’s telling behaviour.
“The whole time during this [couch session] Dave had his hand on Jamie’s knee. But as he did so, he was leaning away and even angling away from her. We lean into what we like, we open to what we like,” Scott told his followers.
When Alessandra [Rampolla] asked the couple how their relationship was going, Scott noticed that Dave didn’t have an “overly positive reaction” to the question.
“He still had the same physical distancing [and] you even saw him then go through and start going a bit internal from a mental processing point of view,” Scott said. “And then Jamie continued on [and] Dave further withdrew, and you would have seen that finger fidgeting and a range of other things.”

Scott said he thinks there may be more to Jamie and Dave’s relationship than we think we know.
“It’s more than just the fact that they’re in different parts of the relationship with Jamie saying ‘I love you’ or whatever. I think there are some other items that they’re working through there, but I’m sure more will come out of that [in future episodes],” he explained.
MAFS insider reveals secrets about Jamie and Dave’s relationship
This comes after an insider told Chattr that Dave wasn’t into Jamie and originally wanted to leave during their honeymoon.
“It was obvious Dave was never into Jamie and just went along and led her along for the entire show. He even said yes at Final Vows,” the source said. “Afterwards Jamie broke up with him because she knew he was leading her on.”

“Dave never liked Jamie from the honeymoon. He wasn’t attracted to her. He didn’t like she didn’t like animals. There was a birdcage incident where Jamie was freaking out about the birds on their honeymoon, and he wanted to leave,” the source added.
No wonder he hasn’t said “I love you” back to Jamie yet!
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
