MAFS Australia 2025: Who Lasted, Who Split, and the Shock New Romances No One Saw Coming!
Season 12 of Married at First Sight Australia 2025 gave fans everything they hoped for messy drama, shocking twists, and whirlwind romances. But once the cameras stopped rolling, only one couple managed to turn their TV love story into a real-life fairytale. Others? They crumbled under the pressure, and in true MAFS fashion, some contestants even swapped partners once the experiment was over.
Here’s where everyone stands now:
- The Last Couple Standing
Rhi & Jeff
Status: Still together and living in Melbourne
Why it worked: Rhi and Jeff’s story was the surprise fairytale of the season. Even though they had secretly dated before being matched on the show a detail the experts didn’t know they took things slow, built trust, and quickly moved in together after filming wrapped. Today, they’re the only original couple still going strong.
- The Breakups (and What Came Next)
Jamie & Dave
Status: Split after final vows
Outcome: They left the show hand in hand but didn’t make it past the reunion. Jamie admitted Dave had “checked out.”
Aftermath: Jamie has since sparked dating rumors with fellow groom Eliot, while Dave is leaning into his influencer career and staying close friends with co-star Billy.
Awhina & Adrian
Status: Split after final vows
Outcome: Their rocky relationship played out on screen, and despite a dramatic back-and-forth at the final vows, it ended for good at the reunion.
Aftermath: Awhina has now found love with Billy, while Adrian is reportedly seeing someone new.
Jacqui & Ryan
Status: Split during final vows
Outcome: Easily one of the most explosive couples of the season, they ended with brutal words and slammed doors.
Aftermath: In a shocking twist, Jacqui is now engaged to Clint, another castmate. Meanwhile, her feud with Ryan carried on off-camera, with both filing restraining orders against each other.
Carina & Paul
Status: Split during final vows
Outcome: Their reunion as exes-turned-bride-and-groom was doomed. Carina ended things after Paul was caught exploring a connection with another bride.
Aftermath: Paul has been linked to that same “backup bride,” while Carina remains single but maintains friendly ties with him.
Lauren & Clint
Status: Split during the experiment
Outcome: After both of their first marriages tanked, they gave it a try together. But the romance never left the friend zone.
Aftermath: Clint has since moved on—he’s now engaged to Jacqui.
Veronica & Eliot
Status: Split during the experiment
Outcome: They constantly clashed, and the partner-swap challenge sealed their fate.
Aftermath: Eliot has been spotted with Jamie, Dave’s ex-wife, leaving fans buzzing about a possible new romance.
🚨 Other Breakups Worth Noting
Beth & Teejay: Left before final vows after intimacy struggles.
Morena & Tony: Exited after clashing over children.
Sierah & Billy: Walked after intimacy issues—Sierah later bonded with Adrian.
Ashleigh & Jake: Crashed out at the first ceremony after Jake’s offensive comments.
Katie & Tim: Split early due to lack of attraction.
Lauren & Eliot: Their marriage ended in just three days after Eliot said Lauren didn’t meet his “non-negotiables.”
The Verdict
MAFS Australia 2025 has proven yet again that love doesn’t come easy especially under the spotlight. While Rhi and Jeff are keeping the spark alive, most of their co-stars have swapped heartbreak for second chances, proving the drama doesn’t end when the experiment does.
