One of the main storylines on Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 has centred around Gia Fleur and Danny Hewitt’s ongoing feud, with Danny claiming the bride is “obsessed” with him. However, in an interview with Chattr, Gia hit back, saying it’s actually the other way around, claiming Danny even tried to stage fake relationship photos with her for clout.

The fallout between the two reality stars started after Danny allegedly told Gia she was his type on a night out, and Gia let it slip to Danny’s onscreen wife, Bec, at one of the Dinner Parties. Since then, it’s come up multiple times when the cast have been together as a group, and Danny called Gia “obsessed” with him in an interview on Stan’s After the Dinner Party.

“Obsessed with him? Disgusting,” she told Chattr. “For him to say I’m obsessed with him, when I’ve had media reach out to me and say to me that he is begging to get photographed with me for a story. Oh, can we get 10k, 15k and get you to walk out that club and act like we’re in a relationship? He’s the one saying this, and I’m saying absolutely f**king not.”

Gia made it very clear that she and Danny aren’t on good terms now, and won’t be posing for any fake pap pics with him in the near future.

“I’ve never contacted him [after the show]. I don’t have his number. I’ve never spoken to him since the reunion. And I’m not the one who’s trying to push for media outings together.”

What happened the night MAFS’ Gia claims Danny hit on her?

In an interview with Chattr, Gia recounted what happened on the fateful night out that sparked all the drama between her, Bec and Danny.

She explained that she was at Bondi bar Icebergs one night during filming with some of the cast.

“Everyone was a bit loose, a bit drunk. Everyone had split off and gone into their own areas,” she began.

“Essentially, Brook, Danny and I were left at the table at one particular moment. And I said, ‘Are you happy with your match?’ because this was very early on, like two weeks in or something. I said, ‘Are you happy?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, look, you know, I’m pretty happy.’ And I said, ‘Okay, like, is she your type? Like, you know, is that someone you would go for?’ And he said, ‘Well, no, in the real world, I’d probably go for someone who looks more like you.’”

After taking aim at almost every couple at the third Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 Dinner Party, Bec Zacharia stole the spotlight, and Gia Fleur believes her chaotic behaviour was a calculated move.

In the lead-up to the episode, Bec appeared to build anticipation around her behaviour, telling MAFSFunny she would likely need to issue a public apology once it aired. She later made a tearful appearance on radio the morning after the episode aired, and Gia believes it was all part of a larger plan.

“It’s just strange to me, like she’s doing her crocodile tears, and she’s doing a little PR moves to try and look better and everything,” Gia told Chattr.

While Gia believes that Bec is doing her best to present herself in a sympathetic light to viewers post-Dinner Party, she added that the way Bec acted at the Dinner Party is how she treated Gia behind the scenes.

“That was not out of character for Bec. This is just now Bec finally showing who she is. This is how she was to other people and me behind the cameras all the time. This is her sort of behaviour,” Gia said.

“I think it shows enough that this is who Bec is, and it’s no one else to blame but herself, which I’m glad that Australia’s saying, because it’s this is what we’ve seen behind the scenes,” she added.

MAFS’ Gia reveals why she really tried to make amends with Bec

MAFS 2026 viewers have watched Gia and Bec’s relationship repeatedly shift between friendship and rivalry, with the third Dinner Party seemingly cementing them as enemies.

At the second Dinner Party, Gia attempted to make amends with Bec, and she admitted to Chattr that one of the reasons behind this move was because she thought her friend Brook had left.

“My friends had left. I partly wanted some more friends, and I wanted to have an okay experience.”

However, Gia added that she also decided to extend an olive branch to Bec because she thought it would help keep the peace.

“I wanted her to stop coming for me, to be honest. And I thought, if I become friends with her, she’ll probably chill out with me a bit, and I’ll be able to have a better experience and focus on me and Scott.”

Gia said that Scott made it very clear that her befriending Bec was a good idea.

“Scott didn’t want me being friends with her at all. I kept trying, hoping for something different, because I’m a very forgiving person. And, she just kept proving over and over that I can’t really trust her,” she said.

Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 airs Sunday – Wednesday on Channel 9 and 9Now.

Another scandal erupted at tonight’s Married at First Sight (MAFS) Dinner Party, with Gia claiming Bec had texted her alleging that Alissa was still in love with her ex.

After Bec confronted Gia over claims that Danny had said she was more his type, Gia fired back — pulling out her phone to read aloud messages Bec had apparently sent about fellow bride Alissa.

“Alissa went home for the weekend, turmoil in the relationship,” Gia read to the group, before reading out another text in a producer-led interview. “Alissa is [expletive] in love with her ex,” Gia said.

In an interview with Chattr, Alissa has firmly denied the claims, saying that there was absolutely no truth to them whatsoever.

“Obviously, if I wanted to be with my ex, I would not have been on the experiment. I would have been with my ex. We had broken up, like eight months prior to the experiment, and at that time, it would have been closer to a year.”

She explained that the accusations were first raised at the second Dinner Party, before Gia brought them up again tonight.

“It was actually disgusting. They were just rumours. And do you know what’s funny? Like, I am obviously very happy at the moment. I’m not going back to my ex, and I’m not pregnant with my ex. Like, what I was accused of, that was Brook, and she was at the table accusing me of those things. So it’s just funny. Like, you got the wrong girl,” Alissa said.

She stressed that she hadn’t even left Sydney, where they were filming MAFS, so she had no clue where the accusations came from.

“At that point in the experiment, I hadn’t even thought I had been back to Adelaide yet. So it was just crazy.”

David’s response to claims that Alissa was still in love with her ex while filming MAFS

Alissa said she was relieved that David didn’t believe the accusations for a second and firmly had her back at both Dinner Parties.

“Obviously, I was in that experiment with [David] throughout the whole time. The only day I went back [to Adelaide was] for 24 hours just to drop off my wedding dress, and then I came straight back.”

“David and I had great communication, you know, throughout that whole thing.”

He told Chattr in a separate interview that he had no doubt that Alissa was telling the truth.

“For me personally, I just thought it was BS, and I just stood by Alissa’s side because, like, I could only go off my relationship with Alyssa and how she was treating me, and it just sounded like white noise.”

Okay, we officially ship David and Alissa.

The drama on Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 has been so heavily centred on Gia Fleur and Bec Zacharia that Alissa Fay has bluntly declared that the experiment has become the “Gia and Bec show” and questioned the brides’ intentions.

Between Bec and Gia’s hen’s party showdown and their feud over whether Danny told Gia she was his type, there hasn’t been a lot of time to focus on the romantic relationships brewing on the show.

“It’s the Gia and Bec show, every single week, they’re just drama, drama, drama. They say one minute they’re friends. They say the next minute they’re not friends. It’s hard to keep up,” Alissa told Chattr.

Alissa went us far as to question whether the two brides came onto MAFS for clout.

“I just think that they were ultimately not there for the right reasons. It’s all just about drama circulating between them both, and then dragging other women down in the meantime in the process of it all. So, it was just the Bec and Gia show, literally, for a lot of the time. We all got so tired of it, all of us did.”

MAFS’ Alissa reveals that she’s forgiven Bec but not Gia

While things are clearly frosty between Alissa and Bec on screen, Alissa reveals that she’s since made amends with her fellow South Australian bride.

“She’s in Adelaide, so we do speak every now and then. I have forgiven her, but obviously, I’ve set boundaries in place there. I have friends, and I have enough people in my life that are supportive of me. I’ll always be kind to her, and she was really, you know, apologetic for what had happened. I have forgiven her.

However, Alissa made it clear that she and Gia haven’t buried the hatchet, despite the fact that Gia has reached out to her.

“There are boundaries in place with Gia. I haven’t heard much from her. The last few messages we exchanged were pretty basic messages. It was like, ‘Are you looking forward to seeing yourself tonight on TV’ or whatever, and I never replied. And the one before that was ‘Please unblock me from Instagram’. So, there’s been very minimal exchanges with Gia and I, because she was just nasty throughout the whole experiment, and very manipulative.”

Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 fans have been sympathetic towards Grayson McIvor, who has been struggling to form a connection with his bride Julia Vogl. Many have claimed Julia isn’t trying hard enough, but an insider claims the truth is more sinister.

“He didn’t really care about Julia at all,” a source tells Chattr. “He was attracted to her physically, and it just seemed like he wanted to get laid. He was pissed off that she wouldn’t have sex with him, so he treated her poorly.”

Despite how Julia has been portrayed — as a kooky woman who is unable to communicate — another production insider says she would often check in with Grayson to see how he was doing in the experiment.

“She would ask him, ‘How are you feeling?’, all the time, but he would always just says he was ‘doing fine’. Then, when they would get in front of the cameras or on the couch with the experts, he would suddenly bring up all of these criticisms he refused to share in private,” the source claims.

“The truth is, he was probably looking at all the other couples who were being physically intimate, and there would have been a rejection wound building. But he was never able to share this with Julia.”

Fans slam Julia’s sexuality online

Another gross result of MAFS touting Julia’s bisexuality as a storyline means there has been an outpouring of biphobic behaviour online. Many have claimed that Julia wanted to be matched with a woman, while others have labelled her a lesbian.

“No one can comprehend that Julia couldn’t possibly be into Grayson,” an exasperated insider says. “Unfortunately, rather than Julia’s bisexuality just being integrated in a normal way, it was played up to be a storyline. Instead of showcasing her actual personality, she’s the bisexual bride.”

According to our insider, the next storyline involves Grayson playing into biphobic stereotypes and saying that he believes Julia wanted to be matched with a woman, which is harmful to the LGBTQIA+ community.

“They’re going to make out that Julia wanted to be matched with a woman. That they think she’s a lesbian,” the source claims.

This is set to go down at the next Dinner Party, so keep an eye out for Julia and Grayson’s storyline.

You know who we haven’t heard that much about? Filip Gregov, the 38-year-old Married At First Sight (MAFS) groom, whose most memorable moment was being accosted by Stella’s friendship group for plugging his YouTube channel on the altar.

But honestly, I don’t think we hear about Filip’s YouTube channel enough. And I know you’re all busy. So I did the grunt work, and had a pass at Filip’s YouTube treasure trove, which sees Filip refer to grown women as “females”, and caters to men ready to “level up”, “attract”, and “dominate”.

And look, I haven’t watched all of the videos, because there’s only so much I can take. But this is essentially a self-improvement series with blatant nods towards the Manosphere: we’re talking Red Pill ideology where the primary message is to “get jacked” and “have your pick of the mix” — the mix, of course, being women, who tend to be talked about in Filip’s videos more as commodities than human beings.

So join us on our rocky quest to understand Filip Gregov’s YouTube presence, the recurring themes that emerge, and why a lot of this language is more dangerous than it seems — to both women and men.

1. Filip loves the word “females”

Something unmistakably Manosphere about Filip’s YouTube videos is his use of the word “females” when referring to women, along with a solid serving of “chicks”. In one of the many videos in which Filip opines about women, in an essentialising way that is typical of Red Pill ideology, he says that “females know on a subconscious level that if you look after yourself, you can look after them, you can protect them.”

What do you reckon, females? Has he got it right? Of course, the word “females” is often used to refer to women in misogynistic spaces, as a way to belittle women and reduce them to their biological capabilities (which are definitely cool, but calm down).

I’ll admit that after watching a few videos, I had lost all hope of Filip ever using the word “women”, but there was one in which he finally did, and it was beautiful. Honestly, it felt as if a ray of sunlight had pierced its way through the storm clouds, and for a moment — just a moment — I felt human again.

2. He hits on Incel talking points

In another video, Filip shouts out a distressing fact: There’s an “epidemic” of “guys not having sex” and “guys not having relationships”. He adds that the top 10 per cent of guys are literally going through 70-80 per cent of women. Guys, I’m going to call a spade a spade. Keeping 100 with ya.”

You may remember that a similar statistic was quoted by the kid in the TV show Adolescence. In much of the Manosphere, especially the Incel division, it’s a commonly cited but mythical metric used to imply that men are victims of the whims of women, who obviously hold all the power and capital in this godforsaken world!

Implicit in the citing of this made-up statistic is also that men are entitled access to women and are being shortchanged, not least because these days women are getting more of a say in who they do or don’t date. Of course, that sense of entitlement to women and sex is a problem because it can manifest in getting aggressive towards women to the point of assault.

In any case, Filip presents the tired old statistic as some kind of cosmic truth and offers up hacks to help men inhabit that elite tenth percentile. As you can imagine, this involves getting jacked.

3. He is regularly shirtless

Filip’s physique is a clear source of pride in his videos — he often makes a point to show off his chest to the camera, and talks about his gym routine, for example, in videos like “My exact blueprint to be shredded and jacked all year round” and “how being jacked will change your life”. Filip has put out a number of these videos, where he repeatedly says that maintaining his physique means that he’s been able to rise to the top of the sexual marketplace.

As a result of getting muscles, Filip reckons: “I’ve been able to date whoever I want, within reason… can’t go for the top top girls.” And they say love is dead!

Filip is again following the Red Pill handbook to a tee, here. If you’re buying into the idea that we all inhabit a sexual hierarchy and that women flock towards men with the lowest body fat percentile, then having a muscly body can end up becoming a huge part of your identity, which is maybe why he’s so often not wearing a shirt.

Sadly, researchers reckon this obsession with associating masculinity with building muscle can have plenty of negative effects on men, including “poor body esteem, body shame and body surveillance”, showing that the Manosphere doesn’t just hurt women; it hurts men, too.

4. He says there’s “no excuse to be overweight”

Filip expresses his disgust with overweight men in more than one video, again showing that Red Pill ideology also harms men. At one point, he states: “If anyone’s telling you it’s alright to have guts and have tits, they are telling you they don’t want to see you dominate.” He’s also said that the idea that women like “dad bods” is a myth, though at no point does he ask any women about this.

Actually, the absence of women’s opinions in his videos is likely very intentional. That’s because Red Pill ideology sees women as deceptive to their core. So even if they say they’re open to dating men with different types of body shapes (like Dad bods, which Filip gets upset about in another video), they’re probably lying, maybe even to themselves.

One of the problems with the belief that women are inherently deceptive is that men are justified in “dominating” them to straighten them out.

6. Filip reckons masturbating is “giving away your life force”

About a year ago, Filip uploaded a video called “Semen Retention No Fap Isn’t The Final Answer For Men,” and look, I’ve always said that! In the video, Filip says he used to watch porn and masturbate five or six times a day, but has stopped doing so because he was giving away his “life force” — which is how he refers to his semen — to a “tissue”.

He adds that as a man, masturbating means that you have “time, energy and focus” to find your “sexual reward” out in the wild, meaning, of course… sex from females! “If that’s what you’re doing it for, then why not just go for the girl you want? Do you know what I mean? Why not just take it? Take her. I mean, she’s there for the taking.” Filip’s right. Women are like undifferentiated little birdies just passively milling around, waiting to be swooped away by swole, blue-balled vultures… and that’s just biology!

While there’s so much more to explore, we’re going to end here, because life is short, and you don’t want to spend too much of it reading about this. I can only hope that you have been changed by this brief investigation into MAFS groom Filip Gregov’s cursed YouTube videos. I, for one, feel a renewed determination to never Google “Manosphere” or “Red Pill” again.

What is Sam looking for in a partner?

Sam is a self-confessed romantic at heart. He’s incredibly close to his parents and credits their long, loving marriage for shaping the high standards he brings into the experiment. He describes himself as a “slow burner,” and someone who needs a deep emotional connection before fully giving his heart. He’s hoping his future husband not only respects that pace but also values it.

Sam is seeking a partner who is both masculine and emotionally mature, yet enjoys playful moments, like singing loudly to Taylor Swift, and is comfortable with outdoor activities such as camping.

Are Sam and Chris still together?

Sam and Chris have only just tied the knot so there isn’t much to go on about their current relationship status. Notably, Chris has yet to share that he is about to become a father, choosing to wait since Sam has openly said that he isn’t ready for children just yet.

However, in an interview with Chattr, Sam stated that having kids would not be a problem for him as he admitted he didn’t expect Chris to have kids quite literally on the way. He explained that if someone is a perfect match, future children would not deter him. “Having kids on the way is not going to be a problem, because I’m open to that, he said.”

Another hint that these two might go the distance is that Sam told Chattr he and Chris are still in contact. It looks like we just have to keep watching to see their love story unfold!

If you thought the Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 Dinner Party drama couldn’t top last week’s, prepare to be proved wrong. According to MAFS bride Bec Zacharia, she goes nuclear during Dinner Party number three.

It’s also the first Dinner Party for intruders Stephanie Marshall, Tyson Gordon, Joel Moses, Juliette Chae Fava, Chris Robinson and Sam Stanton, so it’s somewhat a baptism by fire.

“This Dinner Party, I’m the Brook,” Bec told MAFS Funny. “Get ready… [I’m against] anyone that looks at me. It’s not good.”

Bec told the podcast host she will probably need to make a public apology after the episode airs.

“I’m hoping people will be able to see that I’m at the lowest of my lows at this point, and instead of going inward and dealing with my issues with Danny and Gia and the comment, that I am taking it out on everyone else,” she said. “It’s not okay, I’m not saying that it’s alright.”

The MAFS bride added that she has “grown” from her experience, and has also tried to make amends.

“I’ve apologised to the people involved, and they’ve forgiven me and I think that’s the most important thing,” Bec said. “I was wrong. I have regrets. You’re gonna see the worst of me in this coming week and all I can do is take it.”

MAFS fans slam Bec’s Dinner Party admission

While Bec seemed to be at peace with how she’s gone forward after this explosive Dinner Party, MAFS fans online weren’t so forgiving.

“A lot of people can go through way worse things than that and manage to not take their feelings out on others… just saying,” one person wrote on Instagram.

“You could tell she was [a] mean girl right from the first episode, the Hen’s do,” another added.

“The behaviour demonstrated isn’t the ‘lowest of the lows’, it’s more about your lack of emotional maturity and intelligence and more. Take accountability for your behaviour,” a third remarked.

“She’s Brook #2. She’s [a] mean girl, no one likes her,” another chimed in.

Keep reading to find out everything we know about Sam Stanton!

Who is Sam Stanton and what does he do?

Sam in past relationships

Stephanie responds to Tyler saying she’s “masculine”

Stephanie also believes that Tyler’s views about masculinity and femininity are a bit simplistic, especially in the context of his desire for mothers to stay home and look after the kids. “He says he wants five kids, then he wants his wife to stay at home,” she begins. “In order for the wife to take control of a house with five children, she’s going to have to be in her ‘masculine’ to have that smooth operation the way I know he would want.”

“He said he made a comment about divorcing his last wife because she bloody left dishes in the sink. You know, if, if he wants a smooth operation at home with five kids, that woman is going to have to be in her ‘masculine’ at some point.” Stephanie adds that she often has to be ‘masculine’ in her job as a Real Estate Agent, saying: “People employ me to take control of the situation… which is… you know, buying or selling a property,” she said. “However, I know that I’m not like that all the time. I’m a very sensitive, down-to-earth soul, and I think that is feminine energy. So I think the two can co-exist in one individual.”

Stephanie says that while she did say from the beginning that she wanted more of a traditional marriage, as her evening with Tyson went on, she realised her values didn’t align with Tyson’s as much as she had hoped.

“From the outset, I kind of said I wanted — or thought I wanted — more of that traditional relationship,” she says. “And you know, that I wasn’t this super ultra feminist or anything like that. But I think obviously, as the night went on… [I realised] that our versions of what a traditional relationship looks like were maybe a little different.”

Married At First Sight (MAFS) intruder bride Stephanie Marshall and groom, Tyson Gordon, are set to be wed in tonight’s MAFS episode; it’s full steam ahead for these two as they are fast-tracked into the experiment together.

Intruders are starting to infiltrate the weird and wonderful community known as Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026, with Tyson Gordon, a former soldier who loves Donald Trump, despises wokeness, and has the American flag pinned to his garage wall, getting fans’ backs up.

After getting married in last night’s episode to fellow anti-woke bride Stephanie Marshall, the two did what two strangers all do when meeting for the first time and discuss the prospect of having five children, presumably in the four bedroom house that Tyson has already purchased.

“Apparently we’re having five children,” Stephanie said to her maid of honour after the wedding. “I don’t know who you’re having those five kids with,” she joked while turning to Tyson. Tyson went on explain that raising children was actually very easy. “How hard can it be?” he asked? “It’s only this big,” he said, gesturing at the size of a bread loaf. “You’ve just got to feed it, take it to the toilet and that’s it!”

Adding that he’d expect his wife’s life to take a backseat to his in the case that they had children, fans are obviously not too happy with Tyson’s whole deal. “I’d just like to know in what f**king universe does Tyson think he can live in a major Australian city with a wife and five kids on a single income?” asked one fan on Reddit.

“My gripe with these kinds of men who want to be a provider and have their wives stay home… is that they usually earn shit or very average salaries,” added another. “Like, you want your wife to stay home with your five kids? Cool, I hope you’re making at least six figures so her lost income doesn’t mean a downgraded or shitty lifestyle. The commenter added that the cheerleaders for stay-at-home mothers are usually “personal trainers, life coaches or some kind of bullshit entrepreneur.”

Others have called out Stephanie for also lamenting ‘wokeness’ and then being unhappy about being matched with someone who doesn’t seem to have the best attitudes towards women. “I always find it ironic that these MAGA women are shocked when men from their own sphere want them to stay home and pump out five kids and hate them for being career-driven,” one commenter says. “Like, huh? How can you be so deep in your beliefs you don’t see that you are what they hate?”

History was made on Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 when bisexual bride Julia Vogl told the experts she was open to being matched with either a man or a woman. After some careful thought, Julia was matched with Grayson McIvor, who is the owner of a recruitment company in Queensland.

Grayson took the leap and auditioned for the show after watching his close friend Johnny Balbuziente’s love story unfold with his MAFS bride Kerry. Johnny and Kerry were intruders in the 2021 season, and have gone on to get married in real life and share a daughter.

Meanwhile, Julia’s had four serious relationships — three with a woman and one with a man — but she’s struggled to find exactly what she’s looking for her entire life. She’s hoping that her stint on MAFS will result in true love.

While Grayon and Julia sound like a great match on paper, are they still together in real life? Here’s everything we know.

Are MAFS’ Grayson and Julia still together IRL?

At first, Grayson and Julia may have appeared to be a strong MAFS couple, but things quickly started unravelling after they moved in together.

And it certainly sounds like Grayson and Julia didn’t find their happily ever after together, with an insider telling Chattr that the couple never developed a deep connection.

“Grayson would make comments about Julia’s appearance, and was very clearly into her physically, but I never saw him make an effort to find out more about her. It took him over a week to even ask what she does for work,” the source said.

The insider also suggested that Grayson’s disappointment with Julia’s card game during Ultimate Fantasy Week was related to his wanting to explore a physical connection with her, rather than an emotional one.

“Perhaps he was feeling entitled in some way to Julia’s body, even though it was her fantasy.”

How did the experts match Julia?

Julia made it clear that she doesn’t have a preference for being matched with a man or a woman. In an interview with Chattr, relationship expert John Aiken revealed how they went about finding her partner.

“What we did is, we really looked for strong compatibilities. This person is very much into spirituality. She’s very creative, artistic. But she’s someone who’s slightly, slightly older, wants commitment, doesn’t want to play games, but particularly has a very spiritual side to her, and so that’s what we were looking for,” he said.

“Who could we match with her that would have that similar sort of down-to-earth spiritual kind, because she’s very kind,” he added. Turns out that person is Grayson!

What did Grayson ask for in a wife?

Grayson has strong family values, and his biggest goal in life is to have a family of his own. He was also hoping to be paired with a “natural woman” who is confident in her own skin and has a warm, adventurous, optimistic personality.

Considering Julia studied journalism before moving to London, where she worked as an entertainment correspondent, we think it’s safe to say she embodies some of these qualities!

What did Julia ask for in a partner?

While Julia told experts she didn’t mind if she was matched with a man or a woman, she said she wanted to find someone who has that x-factor, with whom she finds a strong connection.

She hoped to be matched with someone she’s physically attracted to, who is emotionally mature and always trying to better themselves. 

Julia also wanted someone who is in touch with their emotions, effortlessly cool with a sharp wit, has a secure attachment style, and is eager to live outside the box.

Married At First Sight (MAFS) intruder bride Juliette Chae and groom Joel Moses are set to tie the knot in tonight’s episode. With three intruder couples joining the experiment three weeks later, Juliette and Joel are being fast-tracked into the process.

Juliette is a 27-year-old bride from Melbourne, Victoria, who once told a guy she loved him just after the second date. (Yikes)! Whilst she admits that she can be possessive and overly invested, the experts have matched her with Joel Moses. Could he be her perfect match?

Joel is a 31-year-old from Sydney, Australia and is a self-confessed “mummys boy.” He has spent the last five years reinventing himself into a stronger and more confident person and is ready to find his forever on MAFS.

Keep on reading to see if these two will come out on top at the end of this experiment!
