Dave Hand went from everyone’s favourite Married at First Sight 2025 (MAFS) groom to breaking the collective hearts of many Aussies this week, as his relationship with Jamie Marinos crumbled before our eyes.
The TL;DR of the situation is that Jamie has declared her love for her husband, but he hasn’t returned the words yet. Add in a couples swap week where Adrian Araouzou got into Jamie’s ear about Dave maybe not being attracted to her, a storyline that alluded to Dave and Veronica Cloherty flirting, and an explosive dinner party that left Jamie in tears questioning their relationship while Dave came across cold and distant, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.
MAFS stars taking to Cameo
Even though the season hasn’t ended yet, this year’s MAFS participants have already started jumping on video platform Cameo to earn a quick buck, with Dave the first to start charging fans $72 for a video of him wishing them a happy birthday, giving them a pep talk, or joke-roasting them. He currently has a 5-star rating, with 14 happy customers leaving rave reviews, with one person saying their daughter was so thrilled with Dave’s video that it “made her cry”.
However one Cameo of Dave’s has started gaining traction on TikTok for all the wrong reasons, with someone appearing to have stitched the MAFS groom up with their request.
MAFS’ Dave stitched up in cameo about P-Diddy
A TikTok account with quite the telling username – @burnerburner63 – recently posted a Cameo from Dave where he appears to send his love to controversial rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who has faced repeated accusations of sexual misconduct for incidents dating from 1990 to 2023.
One of the accusations comes from the rapper’s ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie, who alleged she was the victim of a pattern of “abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” with a confronting video coming to light last year that shows Diddy physically assaulting Cassie in 2016.
In Dave’s Cameo, he makes reference to both “Puffy” (one of Diddy’s previous monikers) and a “Cassie”.
“Hey Puffy, you’re a bit lonely at the moment? Look brother, just reach out to your friends and family, I’m sure they’ll be able to help ya,” Dave starts the video. “As for your ex, Cassie, I think… I’m sure she’ll forgive you for anything that’s caused this breakup, just reach out to her and let her know how much you love her and that you’re sorry, you’re going to be OK, mate.”

“Is this AI, cause whaaat?” one confused fan commented. “There’s no way,” another shocked person said, with someone else writing, “This is something else…”.
Others were quick to point out what likely happened. “[It’s] Cameo unfortunately he didn’t catch on to the prank I guess someone sends in a request for a video and pays him,” one person pointed out.
“It’s a Cameo, he’s obviously making a video for whoever paid for it, someone’s probs pranked him,” another agreed.
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
