Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 has been full of drama and surprises this year, and rumour has it that the reunion is filled with some shocking moments.
We’ll get to see a new couple emerge, there’s talk of some heated arguments, and what’s going to happen when sworn enemies get pulled back into each other’s presence?
Chattr has rounded up some exclusive info from inside sources and current contestants, so you can get a jump on what to expect. We know who is skipping the big event, and have some juicy gossip about the big storylines.
When will the MAFS 2025 reunion air on TV in Australia and is there a trailer?
This year’s Reunion episodes will air on Channel Nine and 9Now on April 6 and 7, 2025.
Check out a spicy sneak peek below.
When was the MAFS reunion filmed?
Filming wrapped sometime in September 2024, and the reunion was filmed in November 2024.
Here’s everything that went down during the reunion Dinner Party
Sierah’s big Awhina and Adrian reveal
Sierah Swepstone was on a MISSION. She wanted everyone to “get fucked”, and she seemed to have just attended the reunion to stir up shit. It was entertaining, honestly.
After Awhina Rutene and Sierah got into a bit of a fight, Sierah revealed that Awhina called Adrian Araouzou “stupid” and criticised his business behind his back. According to Adrian, this is the worst thing anybody could do. Someone literally punched a wall on this season of MAFS, but go off I guess.
At the dinner table, Awhina denied saying all of what Sierah said. She refused to clarify exactly what she said and ended up in a shouting match with Adrian.
“It’s as low as it gets,” Adrian said. “If I knew these things sooner, I would have been gone long ago. Those are low blows. The truth [was] unveiled, and for me, it was the nail in the coffin.”

Awhina then dropped some iconic lines, saying she was happy for Adrian to paint her as the bad guy.
“Adrian, you’ve said things about me, you’ve done some things [to] me and I’m consistently forgiving you,” Awhina said.
“I’m just forever going to be the bad guy, and you know what? I can be the bad guy in his story, because he’s the fucking devil in mine.”
Jamie and Dave have broken up
Love is dead! Jamie Marinos swanned into the reunion solo, and revealed that she had broken up with Dave Hand a week before this Dinner Party. It seems that history has repeated itself, because Dave once again grew distant and refused to address his feelings with Jamie.
“He just can never be honest with how he’s feeling, ever,” she said through tears. “It’s just so frustrating because it’s like I had to initiate the breakup, I had to initiate the conversation like he’s not into me.”

The other brides rallied around Jamie and they had a little bitch session about how all the men on the show are losers. Truer words have never been spoken!
“He strung me along… Dave just wouldn’t ever be honest with how he was feeling and he’s done it to me twice,” Jamie added. “It’s just really sad because it was real for me and he just couldn’t figure out how to tell me.”
Paul had a tantrum over Carina dumping him
If there’s an award for the most out-of-touch man of the season, Paul Antoine would win it. He told producers he believes Carina Mirable has a “crazy jealousy problem” — even though HE’S the one who punched a wall out of jealousy — and declared that Carina is definitely a “snob”.
Someone is feeling a bit bitter after being dumped, it seems.
“The rejection, it just didn’t sit well with me,” he told the group at the dinner table. He thinks Carina can’t take criticism, she’s “extremely judgemental” and has “massive trust issues”. Ouch.

Carina said the “vibe” between her and Paul was “really weird”. “We are both in different spaces, and it’s gotten to the point where, like, I don’t know how to act around him,” she said.
“He put us in this position, not me,” Carina said.
“Once again Paul has shown me everything I do not want in a man. Paul and I are done.”
Jacqui and Clint finally make their debut as a couple
We all knew it was coming, but seeing Jacqui Burfoot yelling about how she “tried her ass off” at Ryan Donnelly wasn’t on my bingo card!
Jacqui and Clint Rice came in separately to the reunion Dinner Party, but swiftly announced their new relationship to the group, followed by a lot of PDA.
They said they have been dating for two weeks, but Ryan is convinced their relationship started much earlier than that. Jacqui didn’t help her case when she told the group she had plans to move in with Clint in Tasmania, even though Final Vows was just four weeks ago.
“Clint lives in a really nice place and there is space for Jacqui. He’s cleared out half of the walk-in wardrobe for me,” she said.
“I’ve got my own shower, like we’ve got his and her showers, his and her vanity; I’ve got a house key, a tennis court and a bike. We’re starting a business together, which is actually the best part.”
Apparently starting a business with a partner is her “love language”? Sounds like a recipe for disaster, but whatever floats your boat!
Adrian dishes on Sierah’s bombshell during the MAFS 2025 reunion
Adrian previously shared some spoilers about what goes down at the reunion.
“I think even at the reunion, I think we’re gonna see some true colours of what people were saying,” Adrian tells Chattr.
Apparently, Awhina and Sierah start “kicking off”, when Adrian intervenes. Things get messy after Sierah exposes what Awhina had kept secret from her husband.
“Sierah was like, ‘Well, why don’t you say to Adrian the things that you were saying behind his back? Like he’s stupid, he can’t spell, his business sucks. But you made out that you wanted to be with him’,” Adrian recalls.
“I said to Awhina, ‘Did you say that?’, and she deflects… and I said, ‘Awhina, don’t lie to me. Did you say that?’ And she’s like, ‘Yes’.” he says.
Adrian then walks off, with Awhina coming to him later to try and explain what she meant rather than apologising.
“I was just like, ‘Just get out of my face’,” Adrian says. “Like, that’s low. It’s not what I do to someone and nor am I gonna accept that. And we go into the final Commitment Ceremony and I say exactly that. I’m like, ‘This is where our friendship ends. Because you know, I would never treat anyone like that’.”
An insider has backed this up, claiming that Billy Belcher and Awhina like to play the victim.
“Billy and Awhina were always playing victim on camera when they knew about stuff well in advance,” the insider spills.
“Their fight at the reunion could be either to do with Awhina already knowing about Sierah and Adrian opening up and going to dinner, and pretending to be blindsided to play victim,” the source adds.
“Or Awhina said mean stuff about Adrian. There was lots [going on at reunion], I’m not sure what [producers] honed in on.”
What happens between Jamie and Dave at the MAFS reunion?
Dave also admitted to losing feelings for Jamie during the reunion, with the bride blaming her husband for not taking accountability.
“What I saw at the reunion was that pretty much [Jamie] saying, ‘You couldn’t be honest with me, I had to be the one to be like, hey this is not gonna work, this is over. And you just sat there and agreed and didn’t fight for it’,” Adrian told us.
“They show her walking off and crying,” he adds. “[Jamie tells Dave], ‘You were never honest. I had to call us off post-show. You weren’t really texting [me]… I had to break it up because you didn’t have the balls to do that again when deep down, you knew you didn’t want to be with me.’”
Yikes. It was BAD! Ohhh, the Jamie stans are not gonna like this one.
Unlikely couple swap ahead of MAFS 2025 reunion
As we gear up for the reunion episode, The Daily Mail reported a very unlikely coupling between Carina Mirable and Billy, with the two spotted looking friendly ahead of filming the reunion last year.
According to production insiders, Billy initially contacted Beth Kelly, suggesting they attend the reunion together as a couple. When Beth shut him down, Billy slid into Carina’s DMs, with the source telling Daily Mail that it “started off flirty”.
“They were Facetiming a lot and hanging out. It was like an unexpected and surprising friendship that caught everyone off guard,” they said.
What else happens during the MAFS 2025 reunion?
“Ryan [Donnelly] didn’t take the news of Jacqui and Clint dating well and had a go at Jacqui,” a source claimed. “He was intimidating her and calling her names, but Awhina stood up for the bride.”
Clint told Chattr he wasn’t able to reveal too much about the reunion, but teased a “shock return”. Spicy!
Another big storyline will be concerning how upset Jacqui was that Clint swore at Jamie Marinos during the Couples Retreat.
On Instagram, Jacqui hinted at something big playing out on TV.
“No, I’m not okay with [Clint’s behaviour] and we had that conversation about it on air,” she said. “I was heartbroken because Jamie was my biggest advocate the whole experiment. It comes out at reunion. Watch this space.”
Teejay Halkias told Chattr that the reunion is “pretty crazy” and wilder than the Dinner Parties.
“If you think that Dinner Parties throughout the season were tumultuous, you need to wait for this one, because this one is absolutely hectic,” he teased. “And yeah, I think I am at the forefront of some of it as well, too.”
However, his wife Beth Kelly clarified and told Chattr that it wasn’t “explosive” between her and Teejay.
“By the time it came around to reunion, I was kind of over it, and I couldn’t really be assed addressing anything. So, I mean, maybe [Teejay] was in the hot seat. I don’t really remember,” she said.
Jamie also told Chattr the reunion would be ‘chaos’ but she had just been excited to drink wine and eat bread with Awhina again.
“For everyone who’s been watching our entire series, you can see this season’s been wild, like, you can’t trust us. Of course, it’s [the reunion] going to be chaos,” she said. “I mean, I usually just go to the Dinner Party for the wine and the bread, which I think most people can see, me and Awhina are just constantly eating and drinking our wine, I’m there for that, and anything extra is added juice on top.”
Meanwhile, Awhina told us she “felt more authentically” herself at reunion than she had “throughout the entire experiment”. Previously, she said she “protected” Adrian at Final Vows and “went against [her] nature”.
“I finally got to go home, and I had space from all [those] external head points, and I had space from someone pushing their reality onto me, I just felt more myself that day than I had since Friends and Family [week],” she said. “I feel like I just gave up after friends and family.”
Jeff Gobbels labelled the reunion “intense”, saying, “It was a big couple of days. We did some very long hours. But yeah, when that all wrapped up, it was a nice feeling.”
With the reunion hinting that Sierah was returning with a big bombshell, Jeff admitted they weren’t entirely across whatever drama Sierah came armed with.
“I didn’t even know that happened until I saw that trailer! Where they’re having that discussion, that’s not actually even at the Dinner Party. I had no idea what’s going on there,” Jeff laughed.
Which MAFS cast members attend the reunion?
An insider told us that most of the MAFS cast members attend the reunion.
Along with Jacqui, Clint, Awhina, Ryan and Jamie, you’ll also see Veronica Cloherty, Beth Kelly, Carina Mirable, Sierah Swepstone, Rhi Disljenkovic, Katie Johnson, Ashleigh Ackerman, Teejay Halkias, Eliot Donovan, Jeff Gobbels, Dave Hand, Paul Antoine, Billy Belcher, Tony Mojanovski and Adrian Araouzou.
However, Lauren Hall, Morena Farina, Tim Gromie and Jake Luik all skipped the reunion.
The reunion is generally a really interesting episode, as the contestants get to see some of their behaviour and how it played out on screen. It’s a chance for everyone to reflect and apologise for behaviour that may not have been the best, after a bit of time and space away from the experiment.
That being said, it’s unlikely the cast will walk away harmoniously and chuffed with each other. Can’t wait for it to all play out!
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
