By Stig Editor Jamie Marinos confirms she’s Few Weeks Pregnant with First Child as Romance with Eliot Donovan Blossoms
Sydney, June 1, 2025 — In a heartwarming twist fit for a modern fairytale, Married At First Sight Australia alum Jamie Marinos has confirmed she is just a few weeks pregnant with her first child — and the father is none other than fellow MAFS star Eliot Donovan.
The couple, who weren’t originally matched on the show but found love after their televised marriages unraveled, shocked fans this morning with a soft, sunlit photo posted to Jamie’s Instagram. The image shows the two embracing in a quiet park, Jamie’s hand gently resting over her belly, with the caption:
“Every story has a plot twist… ours just got a little sweeter. Baby D loading 💫🍼 #FewWeeksIn #FeelingGrateful”
An Unexpected Love Story
Jamie and Eliot’s connection began behind the scenes of MAFS, where casual conversations off-camera turned into deep late-night chats after filming wrapped. While their on-screen relationships were turbulent, fans always noted the natural ease between the two when they were seen together during reunion events.
“We just clicked in a way that wasn’t forced,” Jamie shared privately with a close friend. “It felt like all the pieces finally lined up after the cameras stopped rolling.”
By late March, the two were quietly dating, choosing to keep their budding relationship under wraps until they felt grounded and secure. It wasn’t until mid-May that they publicly confirmed they were together, delighting fans who had been rooting for them since day one.
A New Chapter Begins
While Jamie is only a few weeks into her pregnancy, sources say the couple is already brimming with excitement and carefully navigating this delicate new phase. Eliot, who’s known for his calm, protective nature, is reportedly “over the moon” and already planning baby names and nursery ideas.
“He’s been incredibly supportive — from food cravings to late-night emotional spirals,” Jamie joked in a private message shared with a friend. “He keeps telling me I’m glowing, even when I’m in oversized hoodies and crying at dog commercials.”
Family and close friends have been informed, and Jamie’s mother is said to be “tearing up with joy” over the phone. The pregnancy, though early, has been described as “smooth so far,” and Jamie is reportedly in good health and high spirits.
What Lies Ahead
Though it’s early days, Jamie and Eliot are already considering the next steps. While marriage hasn’t been confirmed, Eliot recently told a friend, “This is the kind of love you don’t let slip away. I’ve never been more sure of anything.”
The couple plans to keep things mostly private for now, though fans can expect small updates as the pregnancy progresses. Jamie has hinted at starting a blog or video journal to document her journey — not just as a reality TV personality, but as a soon-to-be mother stepping into the most real role of her life.
“Sometimes,” she wrote in her story today, “the happy ending comes after the cameras cut.”
From MAFS co-stars to soon-to-be parents, Jamie and Eliot’s story is proof that sometimes love takes a little detour — but it always finds its way.
