Married at First Sight Australia 2025 kicked off on January 27 with the marriage of Paul and Carina, who—despite the show’s name and entire point—were actually getting married at *second* sight.
Yep, as the bride revealed to producers and Australia after walking down the aisle, her and Paul had actually met outside the experiment. The Perth-based pair went for a hike together before… Paul ghosted her. Whomp whomp.
“He ghosted me. Knowing that we have literally crossed paths, not gonna lie, I’m just so disappointed,” Carina told a producer. “Perth is so freaking small.”
For his part, Paul was pretty stoked to see Carina at the altar, and blamed his ghosting on going through a “rough patch” at the time.
He added that the coincidence, “feels like the universe is giving us, giving me, this second chance.” He ended up giving her a heartfelt apology and explaining the sitch to her parents, and for the most part, it appears as though they are going to have another stab at making something work.
So… will it?

Are Carina & Paul Still Together?
Despite the multiple “leaks” that emerged from camp MAFS throughout filming, the status of Paul and Carina’s relationship is not currently known.
The pair have not been caught by any paps in the wild since filming ended, and there are no clear indicators either way.
The most we have is that they both still follow each other on Instagram, so at the very least, things are amicable (by MAFS standards, at least).
