The outrageous Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 ‘grass is greener’ challenge is set to air tonight, and multiple contestants will meet their backup matches.
With both Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias reeling from the Commitment Ceremony where Teejay tried to leave, it makes sense that the couple decided to see what could have been.
A production insider told Daily Mail that Teejay hits it off with Tara-lee Preston, a Sydney sales consultant. He was apparently “loving the chemistry” and “they just vibed instantly”.
“He had more spark with Tara in one day than he had with his actual bride in weeks,” they added.
Tara-Lee is still following Teejay on Instagram, so our spidey senses are tingling. Could they be friendly now that the show has finished filming?
Who is Tara-lee Preston?
Tara-lee is a sales consultant for a building company in Sydney, New South Wales.
She also looks to be a bit of an entrepreneur, as she launched her own blazer clothing line called Preston The Blazer in November 2024.
“Two years in the making,” she wrote on Instagram.
Her company was born out of the need to feel “strong, confident, seen, heard and important” in a male-dominated corporate environment.
“An Australian label with an international vision created to give you a one-stop shop for fashion’s most versatile power piece,” the website says.
Is Tara-lee Preston an influencer?
Tara-lee has just over 2,000 followers on Instagram, but this could jump once she makes her MAFS appearance. While she doesn’t have a large following, she appears to be friends with other influencers.
Bec Gorton, who has 142,000 followers, and Rhiannon O’Loughlin, with 87,000 followers, have commented on her Instagram posts. She is also followed by influencers Bella Davis and Ilana Collins.
Will Tara-lee Preston be on MAFS 2026?
It’s unclear if any of these backup matches from the Grass is Greener challenge will be on MAFS 2026, but it would make sense for producers to see if any potential brides or grooms seem popular.
MAFS 2026 casting is still taking place, so it’s possible Tara-lee could be back on our screens next year!
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
