A body language expert has commented on the latest Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 Commitment Ceremony, noting that there was a “massive difference” in Dave Hand’s behaviour. 

ICYMI, Dave was quiet during his couch session with wife Jamie Marinos, with some fans believing he looked uncomfortable while she was raving about her perfect husband. 

MAFS insider reveals secrets about Jamie and Dave’s relationship

This comes after an insider told Chattr that Dave wasn’t into Jamie and originally wanted to leave during their honeymoon. 

“It was obvious Dave was never into Jamie and just went along and led her along for the entire show. He even said yes at Final Vows,” the source said. “Afterwards Jamie broke up with him because she knew he was leading her on.”

“Dave never liked Jamie from the honeymoon. He wasn’t attracted to her. He didn’t like she didn’t like animals. There was a birdcage incident where Jamie was freaking out about the birds on their honeymoon, and he wanted to leave,” the source added. 

No wonder he hasn’t said “I love you” back to Jamie yet!

Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.

However, Chattr asked one of our MAFS inside sources, and this isn’t exactly how everything went down. Don’t worry, we have the spicy details!

“It’s not true. Dave didn’t have a connection with Jamie, he didn’t like her from the honeymoon,” our source tells us. 

“The group and producers will make it look like Veronica and Dave are into each other after the couple swap, but it’s just they are two normal people who don’t scream a lot and actually got along.”

Veronica and Jamie clashed at the most recent Dinner Party, and Jamie actually told Chattr that she is no longer friends with the bride. Could this be due to this upcoming couple swap drama?

“When it comes to falling out [with cast members], I’d say you know, Carina [Mirable], Veronica, they’re just people I just didn’t click with,” Jamie said. Very interesting.

MAFS 2025 couple swap chaos revealed

This comes after a source told Chattr that Eliot Donovan and Rhi share a bed during the partner swap, leaving Veronica blindsided.

Apparently, Eliot lies to Veronica and says he didn’t share a bed with Rhi. The Dinner Party is supposed to be explosive, with the brides going “head to head”.

“Veronica says to Rhi, ‘I don’t appreciate my husband lying to me about sharing a bed with another wife’,” the insider said.

However, Awhina Rutene told Chattr that it might not be as salacious as it seems.

“There’s a lot of challenges presented to us by the experts. And if there is any bed sharing or if there’s any couples doing swaps, just know these are challenges presented to us by the experts,” she said.

“There is no wrongdoing in the majority of people’s cases. And Rhi is someone that would always be very forthcoming with other women if she was going to do something.”

Jamie thinks it would be ear porn if the experts gave Lauren some harsh truths at tonight’s Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 Commitment Ceremony; meanwhile, Carina might piss herself.

Lauren and Clint: Lauren and Clint walk through at the last minute and I’d be surprised if production hadn’t already used this trick for Tim and Morena. The children have at it before Daddy John jumps in and demands they sit on the couch.

I am sad to report Lauren is still trying to make Boganic happen. Jamie is also still trying to make interrupting happen, and Clint is still trying to make swear-words-feel-natural-coming-out-of-his-mouth happen.

Somewhere in the wildfire, Lauren tells Adrian that he probably doesn’t receive many invites to parties (lol) and Adrian calls her “crazy” for not being able to see her own behaviour. Anyone got a mirror? The audacity.

Clint and Lauren say they don’t have romantic feelings, which is a very normal thing to happen when you chuck two single people together. They both write leave. Lauren wrote she is “Leav-ing the zoo” and I’m sorry, is that mean or just plain fact?

John asks them if they’d like to stay for the rest of the ceremony (why do they call it this?) and they politely decline.

Adrian and Awhina: Awhina confirms that the bar is very low with Adrian, telling the experts that even if he wanted to go to the tip with her, she’d be really happy. Adrian says that “it’s obviously obvious” he is staying and the only obviously obvious thing to me is that Awhina deserves someone better. NEXT.

Ryan and Jacqui: Ryan has started complimenting Jacqui’s intellect. And fashion! It’s nice for her to be seen as more than “a model” and “hot,” she says.

Jacqui tells the experts (and Australia, again) about Ryan’s need to save his testosterone for the gym, dinner parties and commitment ceremonies, meaning his sausage shop is closed otherwise.

Alessandra reminds Ryan that he doesn’t need to come for a woman to come. Yeah! It says everything we need to know about him, really. We finished their session with Jacqui crying after she got in trouble with the school principal (Ryan).

They stay, but as they go back to the others, Ryan puts his arm around Jacqui but hits her head on the way. I’m sure we’ll hear about this for the next three years of our lives.

Veronica and Eliot: Veronica reckons she’s been filtering her personality to make Eliot more comfortable, and yeah, we’ve all been there. They both feel like the other doesn’t like them, so the experts are as confused as us when they both write “stay” anyway.

Rhi and Jeff: They can see themselves falling in love with each other. I’d make a joke about hitting up your ex for round two if I weren’t quite literally dating mine. They stay.

Beth and Teejay: Beth doesn’t think Teejay is attracted to her even though he consistently admires her anoos. They stay.

Carina and Paul: The couple arrives for the Cadbury commercial, and I’m pleased to report that Carina is not Miles Davis’ level of cool yet. She has, however, dared to bring up the Mean Girls reference again.

Jamie finds this insulting while insulting Carina for her feelings, opinions, and general existence. Carina tells the experts that she doesn’t feel intelligent enough in this situation, like her feelings are invalid and dumbed down. She and Paul stay another week.

Jamie and Dave: Jamie thinks she is a “mumma bear” who “protects her cubs” and Alessandra informs Jamie that she’s identifying with the wrong species. Jamie then turns to Carina and gives her a very sincere apology that could’ve also qualified in a staring contest.

Jamie says she’s in love with Big Dave, and as someone who will jump off a bridge for any man over 6 foot 3, I can’t say I’m surprised. Dave is also not surprised.

Are we hearing this music? Is… Law & Order about to start? I smell heartbreak for these two.

However, they are still putting on a united front, with the couple boycotting the latest Dinner Party and having a nice and peaceful meal in their apartment instead.

The insider tells us Chattr that Clint and Lauren won’t make it to Final Vows as both write Leave at the upcoming Commitment Ceremony on Sunday.

“Lauren and Clint leave at the next Commitment Ceremony, and over the next few weeks the experiment also loses Beth [Kelly] and Teejay [Halkias], as well as Veronica [Cloherty] and Eliot [Donovan],” the source spills. 

It will be interesting to see how it plays out!

Do Clint and Lauren stay together after MAFS?

The fact that Clint and Lauren have no “spark” and leave the experiment makes it pretty clear that they’re no longer together.

Plus, there are rumours that Clint is now dating Jacqueline Burfoot and has even moved her into his mansion in Tasmania. 

Apparently, the pair started talking after Final Vows when Clint slid into Jacqui’s DMs. Jacqui has been seen liking photos and videos of Clint’s dogs on his dogs’ Instagram page.

Clint and Jacqui have yet to hard launch their relationship, but it’s believed they make their debut during the reunion. Now that’s going to be a juicy episode!

Cleo tells Chattr she had a “short” relationship with Paul back on 2022, and surprisingly, she met him the old fashioned way.

“We did not meet on a dating app. I was out to dinner with friends and we spotted one another on the walk to the restaurant,” she says.

The pair broke up before he went on The Love Boat but “remained friends aftewards”.

“[Our breakup] was a mutual decision as we were both at different stages in our life and I supported him with going on The Love Boat as I had just come out of a long term relationship and had never spent time being single,” she reveals.

Cleo spills that Awhina and Paul recognised each other during the first Dinner Party and the groom was open about his past relationship with Carina.

“[Our relationship] was never hidden, everyone is allowed to have had a life before the show,” she adds.

Awhina’s twin sister stresses that there’s no romance or spark between her and Paul now, saying that they’re “only friends, nothing more”.

At this stage, it seems like Carina and Jamie’s friendship is over. Jamie told Carina to shut her mouth, and Carina ended up walking out of the Dinner Party before crying. 

Carina has now shared her side of the story on the Married At First Sight Official Podcast, telling Shelly Horton she was “shocked” when Jamie verbally attacked her.

“I’m not good at confrontation. When she was coming at me, which I never thought throughout the whole duration of that experiment, Jamie and I would be butting heads, and I was just a bit shocked by it and a little bit like, felt confused to a degree,” Carina said. 

“I was like, I have been there for you; you have been there for me the whole experiment, we’ve given each other good advice; why do you feel like I’m not backing you? I might not say it, but I’m still there.”

Carina added that she wanted to be the “peacemaker” in the situation because she was friends with both Jamie and Lauren.

“I want us all to understand each other’s point of views, and just help each other out in the relationship, because essentially that’s what the whole experiment is about,” Carina said.

The bride admitted that Jamie “didn’t take it that way” and expected more support from her.

“And looking back, I understand that, and I understand that if the roles were reversed, I would want her to help me in so many ways,” she explained. 

Are Carina and Lauren still friends after MAFS?

Carina told Shelly that she was taken aback after she watched the episode and saw all the insults Lauren hurled at the brides.

“I had no idea half of that stuff was going on. So yes, have I changed my view about Lauren? I haven’t spoken to her since we finished filming,” Carina revealed.

“I got along with her [at the time]. Do I condone the words that she said? Absolutely not, volatile, nasty words and I don’t stand by it.”

Carina added that Lauren and Clint’s decision to skip the dinner party makes them seem “weak”. 

“It shows a lack of respect for everyone around them, it shows what they value and who they value and that’s a very big thing for anyone,” she declared.

“It also made me feel that they are weak to a certain degree, because why did they not face the music?”
