Dave Hand has given an interview that has shed some light on his tumultuous Feedback Week on Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025, after the groom suffered the wrath of fans following his cold disposition towards his wife Jamie Marinos.
Dave and Jamie were previously one of the strongest couples, but their relationship has been rocked by Feedback Week after Jamie asked her partner-swap Adrian Araouzou why he thinks she and Dave are lacking intimacy, with Adrian alluding that Dave may not be attracted to Jamie.
Dave, who was partnered with Veronica Cloherty, was shown in scenes laughing and enjoying himself during the partner swap. This raised alarm bells for fans after he seemed sullen and distant on the couch with Jamie during the last commitment ceremony.
Did something happen between MAFS’ Dave and Veronica?
One scene that raised suspicions was when Dave and Veronica were filmed waking up in the same bed, with Dave remarking to the camera crew, “Gotta be quicker than that around here, boys!”

Many fans took this to mean that perhaps Dave and Veronica had been fooling around, with one fan commenting, “Why would Dave even make that comment to begin with? Who says that?” and another saying, “Her jumping up and his hand coming from under HER blanket!”
Dave has now spoken to a radio show saying the scene wasn’t as it appeared.
“It was more the fact they bust in there and they try to get you sleeping, or just as you wake up,” Dave said about his rogue comment. “Just to be clear, nothing happened. Veronica and I had a connection, we got along and that was it, and TV twisted it… but that’s great.”
Is Dave now dating Carina Mirable?
Fans are now sadly accepting that Dave and Jamie may not work out, but that hasn’t stopped more rumours. Dave addressed a new allegation involving Carina Mirable, with recent speculation that the two are more than just friends.
When asked whether he and Carina have started dating post-show, Dave had this to say: “No, there’s zero weight to that.”
Well, there ya have it!
