The strongest Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 couple by far are the adorable Jamie Marinos and Dave Hand. The pair seem to be going from strength to strength, with Jamie even gushing about having Dave’s babies during the Couples Retreat.
However, an insider has told Chattr that Dave was never into Jamie and actually wanted to leave during their honeymoon.
And spoiler alert, while the couple does make it to Final Vows and say yes, our source said it was all for show and they broke up afterwards.
“It was obvious Dave never was into Jamie and just went along and led her along for the entire show. He even said yes at Final Vows,” the source claims. “Afterwards Jamie broke up with him because she knew he was leading her on.”
Love truly is dead.
“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,” an insider tells Chattr.
“It also came out that Dave wasn’t pursuing Jamie sexually and they stopped having sex… but they both wanted to stay until the end and be the heroes.”
The source claims Dave may have been wanting to stay for the limelight, which wouldn’t be the first time this has happened.

Dave doesn’t have feelings for Jamie
“Everyone knew Dave wasn’t really into Jamie and Awhina [Rutene] wasn’t really that into Adrian [Araouzou],” the insider spills.
“A lot of people were just [on MAFS] for the air time… so it wasn’t a surprise at all, because everyone who was there were there to be influencers, or they were actors.”
Apparently, the couples left aren’t “genuine” and viewers will start to realise.
“I think Jamie was more into Dave than Dave was into Jamie. It comes out in the next few weeks that Dave doesn’t have feelings for Jamie,” a source previously told Chattr.
Seeing as Jamie recently gushed about how she said “I love you” to Dave, and he refused to say it back… it looks like the writing is on the wall.
The insider also tells Chattr that people had “on camera personalities” and “off camera personalities”, and says there was a “lack of authenticity”.
“On cameras some of the guys would pretend to criticise behaviour and act like they disliked other grooms, but then once the cameras stopped rolling they would all be friends again,” the source explains.
Sounds juicy. It will be interesting to see how Jamie takes the news when this plays out on screen!
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
