After more than a decade of bickering, bad matches and the occasional success story, Married at First Sight Australia (MAFS) is set to return for its twelfth season.
We still aren’t over the drama of the most recent season—which, may we note, only produced two surviving couples—yet filming for the next instalment of the social experiment is reportedly already underway. An insider told Yahoo! Lifestyle that the MAFS 2025 cast is locked in, with the brides and grooms having signed contracts and received their schedules for the months ahead. They added that the team over at Channel Nine is buzzing about a few matches in particular, and hoping this crop of couples are “more dynamic” than ever. What exactly “dynamic” means isn’t clear, however—are producers hoping for a Michael and Martha-style love story, or a duo who will stir the pot?
After months of waiting (and numerous “leaks”), the cast of Married at First Sight Australia 2025 has finally been confirmed. Scroll on to see all the lucky singles.
