The Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 rumour mill has gone into overdrive, after Veronica Cloherty and Dave Hand looked pretty cosy during the partner swap challenge. Many fans believe the couple cheated, so Chattr decided to find out what really went down.
Dave’s wife Jamie Marinos tells Chattr that Dave and Veronica didn’t cheat, but insinuates this has more to do with Dave’s morals.
“[Veronica] didn’t put my mind at ease. I don’t think Veronica knows how to be a friend,” Jamie spills. “She had made comments that she thought highly of Dave [in the past]… obviously she was flirting her ass off [during the partner swap].”
Jamie believes Veronica “had a hard on” for Dave, but she doesn’t think they cheated. “I don’t think cheating is something that Dave morally could ever succumb to, like that’s one thing he [has] quite [a] firm belief on,” she says.

However, she did mention that she wished Dave was paired with someone else. Spicy!
“I was very hospitable, I said, you’re welcome to sleep on the bed, I don’t want my husband sleeping on the couch, he’s very tall,” Jamie adds. “I was actually really nice to her. I didn’t like it… but I probably would have preferred just about anyone else.”
Dave echoes Jamie’s opinion, saying that he had a “friendship” with Veronica and that was it.
“I’m not going to sleep with someone jumping in my bed for one or two nights, it’s not how it works, especially when I’m married to someone else,” Dave tells us.
“It’s a bit ridiculous that people would think that, but yeah, it definitely goes against my morals.”
He says he was “totally committed” to Jamie in the experiment, and wouldn’t have done anything to jeopardise that.

This tracks with what an insider told Chattr earlier this week, saying that nothing happened between Veronica and Dave.
“The group and producers will make it look like Veronica and Dave are into each other after the couple swap, but it’s just they are two normal people who don’t scream a lot and actually got along,” the source spilled.
Tonight’s Dinner Party episode is certainly going to be spicy!
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
