MAFS 2025 Jamie Dave Homestays

With Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 Homestays Week just around the corner, we’ve been wondering what kind of dramatic events are going to take place.

Dave Hand and Jamie Marinos has teased that their time spent with family will be interesting, especially with how their relationship has been progressing on screen. 

The couple are firmly on the rocks, with the pair’s connection disintegrating after the partner swap task. They choose to enter the Dinner Party separately, with Jamie calling out Dave’s behaviour and breaking down into tears.

Jamie hints at some drama going down between Dave and her sister, without spoiling too much.

“[Dave’s] got my sister to deal with,” she laughs. “People think I’m bad. My sister’s way worse.

“I’m hurt. My sister’s hurt. We’re very protective of each other,” she adds. “At this point, she just wants to be [a] mother bear with her cub. That was the style, I think, that was going on.

“It’s going to be informative.”

Dave agrees, saying that Homestays was a “pivotal moment” for their relationship.

“We have to figure out a lot [at Homestays]. Like coming off what’s happened and then moving onto Homestays, it’s a very big task,” he says.

“We’re sort of figuring [it] out and getting the feels for what’s going to happen.”

Jamie explains controversial MAFS decision

There have been rumours about Final Task Week which takes place after Homestays, with one source telling Chattr that Jamie opts to meet an alternative match, but he ghosts her. 

Jamie explains that she was “hurt” by what went down with Dave, which contributed to her making this choice.

“I wish I was in a better place before I made a decision,” she says. “I was dealing with a lot of hurt [and] rejection and kind of losing hope, and I wanted to be able to remind myself why I was partnered with Dave.”

“I was hoping to go into it and get that clarity and that encouragement… I didn’t go in with [the] intention of starting something with someone else. I was very clear in that, that’s not how I operate.”

This sounds like a wild challenge and it’s going to be interesting to watch it all play out on screen!

Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
