When do the MAFS stars get their Instagram accounts back?

by Tahlia Pritchard

As we mourn the end of Married at First Sight (MAFS) on our TV screens, we have a little while longer to wait when it comes to our favourite stars doing Instagram AMAs.

Famously, Channel Nine controls the cast’s social media accounts from the moment the show airs and usually doesn’t relinquish its grip until the series stops airing in the UK.

So when do we get to see the participants take control of their social media again?

MAFS’ Eliot drops when MAFS cast will get their TikTok accounts back

Eliot Donovan is one of the cheeky cast members who went rogue during the season and has amassed a huge following on TikTok with over 260k followers on his new account @not_eliotd.

In a recent TikTok he posted with Carina Mirable and Jamie Marinos ahead of a club appearance, Eliot dropped that the cast would be getting their social media back sometime next week, saying it would be in “10 days” after a fan asked when Carina would be back on TikTok.

Two show sources have since told Chattr the stars would get their TikTok’s back on Monday, May 12. So watch this space!

MAFS’ Jamie reveals when the 2025 cast get their Instagram and TikTok accounts back

Jamie previously told the Stav, Abby & Matt Show that the cast won’t get their Instagram and TikTok accounts back until sometime in May, saying anyone currently active on their original personal accounts has “hacked” the system.

“The people who have got it [social media] back, are the people who have hacked in,” Jamie said. “So my ex-husband [Dave Hand], who has hacked in to post thirst traps, Jacqui [Burfoot] has been going rogue, my new love interest Eliot [Donovan] has always had a separate account,” Jamie then laughed.

The reason why MAFS stars don’t get their accounts back straight away

“You gotta wait until it finishes airing in the UK,” Jamie confirmed. “It’s actually a really good duty of care, imagine how many people would be messaging, like, Adrian [Araouzou] that they hate him.”

Jamie also said Channel Nine doesn’t go into the participants’ accounts, with DMs disabled, and social media posts all managed via a third-party app.

Which MAFS stars are active on social media right now?

As Jamie mentioned, there’s been a few MAFS stars go rogue this season, most notably Jacqui, Eliot, Adrian, and Ryan who have all regained some control over their own narratives as the show has aired.

Morena Farina also used her DJ account to get her story across, and participants like Lauren Hall apparently never handed over access in the first place.

Dave, Veronica [Cloherty], and Clint [Rice] are all people who managed to get back into their original accounts, with Clint telling Chattr: “I was literally just there one night. I was on my TikTok on my other account. And I was like, Oh, I might just try and add my other one. I added it, then I used my face ID and opened it and I was in!”

Kate shares her wild Australian Survivor 2025 audition tape: ‘Maybe don’t follow this as advice’

by Danica Baker

Kate Gloufchis was the last standing Brawn member on Australian Survivor 2025, but she almost didn’t make it on the show after missing the application deadline. The DJ took her to Instagram to share her wild audition video and revealed that she had sent it through after applications had closed.

“The only reason I made my audition tape like that was to be as fast as possible,” Kate told Chattr.

The Australian Survivor casting page stipulates that hopefuls should send through a video with the application form and photos. “This is to be a maximum of 3 minutes and should sum up why we should pick you for Survivor and why you believe you have what it takes to be the sole Survivor,” the page reads.

Instead, Kate sent through a 50-second video showing her partying and DJing.

Kate told Chattr that despite not following the guidelines on the application site, she wasn’t asked to make another video, and said she was shocked to get a call back.

“I was totally surprised! I didn’t know what to expect, and the fact that I got a call the next day, I was so excited,” she said.

Kate added that she applied after getting a hunch that she might get on the show and that she thinks the casting team respected her creative application.

“I had no clue if I had a chance as I didn’t know what the casting agents would be looking for, but I believed in my self and the fact that I got this weird feeling and urge to apply the day after the application closing tells me it was meant to be,” she explained.

“If I had to guess what they liked, it was that I have this wild lifestyle but also am not afraid to be myself while living it.”

Why did Kate apply for Australian Survivor?

While Kate’s application video is packed full of fun moments, she told Chattr that her purpose for applying for Australian Survivor was a lot deeper.

Kate battles with OCD, and she said that she wanted to go on the popular reality show to help tackle the stigma surrounding the condition.

“I didn’t go in Survivor thinking I was going to win $500,000. I went on Survivor being like, I want to try and get as far as I can for my own self. Because I’m just like, that’s such a huge challenge, and also to show people as well that you can do whatever it is you want,” she explained to Chattr.

“I’d been hearing stories — because I have OCD — of people telling me about their teenagers being the same, and that just hurt my heart. So I was like, You know what? I’ve just become such a better person that I’m confident with [my OCD], I can still do things in life, and that’s exactly why I wanted to do the show.”

And, what a great casting choice she was!

MAFS’ Tahnee slams Harrison over ‘out of touch’ comments

by Rachel Choy

CONTENT WARNING: This article contains information about sexual assault and may be triggering to some readers.

Tahnee Cook from Married At First Sight (MAFS) has ruffled some sensitive feathers with comments she made to Chattr yesterday. The Season 10 bride addressed rumours of a MAFS All-Stars show, saying she wouldn’t be keen to join the cast “based on what the men are like”.

Considering Paul Antoine literally punched a wall on MAFS 2025 out of jealousy, she has a point. 

However, walking red flag, Harrison Boon, has weighed in on Tahnee’s comments and made some snarky comments. After former groom Steve Burley accused the podcast host of “men-bashing”, Harrison took aim at Tahnee’s age and relationship status.

“Don’t worry mate these ladies are all over 30 and still single since the show. If the men were so bad what does that say about them?” Harrison said. “Lyndall [Grace], Bronte [Schofield], Melinda [Willis], Janelle [Han]. The longer you’re single the funnier [this] gets.”

Tahnee clapped back on her Instagram story, and she tells Chattr she’s not tolerating this type of rhetoric from men like Harrison and Steve.

“It’s so bizarre that I’ve caused this reaction from Steve and Harrison. My comments around not being interested in participating in MAFS again based on what the men are like is more than valid and their reaction to this further proves my point. If they are so offended by my comment, they really need to take a hard look at themselves as to why, because they are part of a wider problem,” she says.

“We’ve seen men on the show with domestic violence allegations and others displaying coercive controlling behaviour — it doesn’t seem that unreasonable for me to feel the way I do. To say I was ‘men bashing’ is laughable and honestly just so out of touch given the current gender-based (domestic) violence we are seeing in Australia at the moment.”

According to the Australian Femicide Watch, 24 Australian women have been killed in 2025 — and we’re only in May.

MAFS’ Tahnee calls out Harrison’s comments about her age

Tahnee also recently celebrated her 30th birthday, and she’s proud of her age, not ashamed of it.

“‘30 and single’ keeps getting thrown at us as if it’s an insult or something we should be deeply ashamed of — and it genuinely isn’t,” she declares. 

“Now more than ever, women are able to live successful, fulfilled lives on their own, without needing a man to provide for them — and these men hate us for that. I’m sure I can speak for some of the women in the same position as me, but I’m honestly so content with how I’m currently living my life — happy, unbothered and thriving — than be in a relationship wtih such a miserable, angry, horrible person like [some men].”

Amen! Let’s throw these boring, misogynistic takes in the bin and move on.

PR crisis expert’s warning for RecipeTin Eats’ Nagi and Brooke Bellamy

by Rachel Choy

A PR crisis management expert has warned there are “rarely” winners in a battle like the one we’re seeing unfold between food influencers Nagi Maehashi (RecipeTin Eats) and Brooke Bellamy (Brooki Bakehouse).

ICYMI, Nagi accused Brooke of plagiarising two of her recipes in her cookbook Bake With Brooki, published by Penguin Australia. Brooke has denied all the allegations, saying she doesn’t “copy other people’s recipes”. In response, Nagi said she didn’t make her “statement lightly and without doing serious groundwork”, adding she had “nothing to gain out of speaking up”. 

Patrice Pandeleos, Founder and Managing Director of Seven Communications — who has worked across some of Australia’s highest-profile crises — tells Chattr this particular situation “illustrates how quickly reputations can be tested in the digital age, especially when claims of creative theft arise”.

“Public sentiment often forms rapidly and emotionally, particularly when a well-loved figure, Nagi Maehashi, is involved. In any controversy, transparency, humility, and timely communication are critical and must be handled quickly. In this case, these elements appeared to be lacking in the initial stages of this saga,” she says.

In particular, Brooke’s team should have been better prepared to handle the situation. Nagi noted that she has been in discussions with Brooke and Penguin Australia for the last six months, so those involved had plenty of warning.

“The response [from Brooke] felt reactive and defensive, rather than strategic,” Patrice explains. “Our advice in a case like this would be to assess the facts and communicate with empathy. Acknowledging the concern, without necessarily admitting wrongdoing, and offering to look at it can go a long way in preserving trust. A tone of humility would have been more effective than a defensive stance.”

Who will win: RecipeTin Eats or Brooki Bakehouse?

Patrice notes that there are “rarely” any winners when it comes to a high-profile stoush. 

“While public drama can drive engagement, both parties typically suffer reputational wear. However, the way each responds can define their long-term brand perception. If one side demonstrates grace, accountability, and professionalism, they may come out with greater public trust — but it requires discipline and the right strategy,” she says. 

The crisis PR expert predicts Brooke will face “significant damage” to her brand, due to brand equity the food and lifestyle space being built on “authenticity and originality”.

“If customers start to doubt that, recovery becomes an uphill battle. That said, with the right approach, brands can recover. But it requires more than just one Instagram post; it needs a thoughtful long-term strategy,” Patrice warns.

According to the ABC, Brooke has already been dropped from one of her ambassadorships with the federally funded Academy for Enterprising Girls. The program provides girls with online classes and workshops to help them gain entrepreneurial skills.

The publication reports it was a “small value” deal worth $10,000 — and Brooke had received just half of that amount.

“While we make no legal assessment on the allegations aired in the media, we have informed Ms Bellamy that we will not move forward with the engagement at this time,” the academy said in a statement.

If there’s anything that influencers can learn from this saga, it’s to be prepared for the worst. Patrice notes it’s “vital for brands to have a crisis plan in place” — no matter how small you are.

From Jamie and Eliot’s romance to Teejay’s love triangle, insider spills on MAFS cast’s wild night out

by Danica Baker

Seven of the MAFS 2025 cast embarked on a wild night out on the Gold Coast over the Anzac Day weekend, and an insider has spilled on their rowdy antics to Chattr.

Jamie Marinos, Eliot Donovan, Carina Mirabile, Teejay Halkias, Beth Kelly, Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels were all part of a promo gig at Bedroom Nightclub on Friday, April 25th, and the celebrations carried on the following night at TAMA Supper Club.

“It’s such a great vibe, I love it. So keen to come back soon, it’s like being in Dubai vibes,” Carina told the insider on the second night.

The source revealed that Jamie and Eliot were all over each other and that Teejay managed to find himself in a love triangle.

Insider cast doubts on whether Jamie and Eliot’s relationship is real

Ever since MAFS 2025 finished airing, Jamie and Eliot have been on a TikTok tour teasing a relationship between the two of them.

Eliot first sparked chatter about a possible dalliance when he posted a TikTok of himself in the shower, with Jamie in the bathroom.

@not_eliotd Don’t raise that naughty base line at me 😳💕 @HNTR [hunter] @jamiemarinos_ #mafs #mafsau #marriedatfirstsight #fyp ♬ stephanie HNTR remix – Dom Dolla

He later shared a follow-up bathroom video with Jamie, along with a tongue-in-cheek clip featuring the MAFS bride, playfully addressing the swirling rumours about their relationship.

However, the insider told Chattr that while Jamie and Eliot were getting cosy at the Brisbane clubs, it wasn’t blatantly obvious that there was a romantic spark.

“Jamie and Elliot’s relationship is blossoming – looks like it’s founded on friendship – they were very playful in the booth at both the Bedroom Nightclub Surfers Paradise on Friday and TAMA Supper Club Fortitude Valley Brisbane on Saturday evening,” they said.

The source added that the account manager mentioned that she’s hoping to appear on TV again.

“Jamie said she feels like she’s on the right path and is ready for her next reality TV show.”

Teejay found himself in a love triangle

While Teejay signed up for the promo events knowing that his MAFS ex-wife Beth would be there, he didn’t know his ex-girlfriend Caitlynn Henry, who he dated in 2021, would be in attendance too.

“Teejay Halkias said having his ex-wife, Beth Kelly, and ex-girlfriend, Caitlynn Henry, in the same room was a shock to the system,” the insider said.

The source added that Teejay and Beth were seated as far away as possible from each other at the Supper Club and didn’t interact much.

Sounds like things are still frosty between the pair!

Ex-MAFS contestants spill on MAFS All-Stars: ‘I’m coming back stronger’

by Rachel Choy

There have been rumours that Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 could be filled with some very familiar faces. Apparently, Channel Nine could be planning to mix things up by producing the first MAFS All-Stars season.

The news was first reported by PEDESTRIAN.TV, but after Chattr asked a few past MAFS contestants, nobody knew where the rumour came from.

Tahnee Cook, who was previously married to Ollie Skelton on Season 10, tells Chattr she definitely won’t be on the cast list. We’re kind of disappointed, because it would be so fun to see her back on MAFS stirring up chaos!

“I seriously have no idea where that rumour has come from as far as I’m aware I haven’t heard anything from my circle, but I’ve definitely made some jokes about doing it [in the past],” she spills.

“However, I absolutely wouldn’t [go back on MAFS] based on what the men are like… and I think I survived it once unscathed, I don’t want to try my luck again!”

Tahnee adds that it would likely be an “interesting watch” and is unsure if returning contestants would make for a more dramatic show.

“Maybe with past MAFS people, we won’t have as much drama of people not following the rules and going super rogue, but it could be the opposite too,” she says.

Adrian Araouzou and Carina Mirabile want to join MAFS All-Stars

Adrian Araouzou was one of the most polarising MAFS 2025 contestants this year, after his relationship with Awhina Rutene imploded. He tells Chattr he’d be down to join MAFS All-Stars if they come calling.

“I’d be surprised if this is a thing and they didn’t invite me back,” he says. “The only condition is my MAFS All-Stars match can’t live further than an hour flight from me.”

Carina Mirabile tells Chattr she’s also keen to return for MAFS All-Stars, and after what happened with Paul Antoine, she definitely deserves a second chance!

“After my experience on MAFS, I’ve grown so much emotionally and mentally, and how I approach relationships. I didn’t get the love story I hoped for, but I stayed true to myself, and I’m proud of that but let’s be real — people made judgements about who I am based on just a snapshot of me,” she spills.

“There’s so much more to show, and I’d love the chance to really let people in on the full Carina. The Taurus is ready to be unleashed, and I’m not afraid of a little juicy drama or gossip — it’s part of the ride, and I’m here for it.”

Carina says that if any past contestants unleash on her during MAFS All-Stars, she won’t hesitate to fight back.

“I’ve got experience now, I know how the situation works, and I’m not backing down. I’m coming back smarter, stronger, and ready to bring the energy — whether it’s for love, redemption, or just to stir the pot a little,” she reveals.

“Most importantly, a big reason I’d come back — I’ve got more to give, more to show, and I want to do it with a fresh mindset, worked on self-love and confidence, gained more strength, and a clearer understanding of what I want and deserve. I still believe in love, and I’m not done with my journey yet.”

Who else is likely to join the cast of MAFS All-Stars?

According to PTV’s insider, some potential MAFS All-Stars contestants were contacted last week. Producers are checking availability, relationship statuses and are avoiding any contestants who spoiled the show while it was airing.

Their source claimed Season 4’s Cheryl Maitland is a hot contender for the show, particularly for her iconic sense of humour.

“They want to bring back the humour,” the source said. “Finally, less toxicity and more tea.”

Guess it will be less wine-throwing and more comedic entertainment, which could be a fresh start for the show. Either way, it’s bound to be a hit.

Why did Pete leave MasterChef Australia 2025?

by Danica Baker

Episode 3 of MasterChef Australia Back to Win 2025 started on a sombre note, with Andy Allen informing the contestants that Pete Campbell had left the competition.

“Before we kick things off, I’ve got some news,” the MasterChef judge began. “Due to personal reasons, Pete is unable to continue in the competition, and we wish him nothing but the best.”

Pete was a fan-favourite who came runner up on MasterChef 2021, after being beaten by Justin Narayan by just one point during the Season 13 finale.

Andy’s announcement did not include any explanation for Pete’s decision to leave the competition. However, a Channel 10 spokesperson has shared more information about the 40-year-old’s exit.

Why did Pete leave MasterChef Back to Win?

A Network 10 spokesperson told Chattr that Pete left the show due to a medical diagnosis, which Pete has since confirmed is cancer.

“During production of MasterChef Australia: Back To Win, Pete Campbell received a diagnosis that required him to step away from the competition to focus on his health,” they began.

“The MasterChef family supports Pete in his recovery and hopes to see him back doing what he loves in the kitchen very soon.”

MasterChef’s Pete reveals he has cancer

Shortly after Episode 3 of MasterChef Australia 2025 aired, Pete took to Instagram to confirm that this departure was due to being diagnosed with cancer.

“Didn’t even get to cook for the judges! but you know what they say… ‘if you have cancer you should go get chemo,'” he wrote.

“A massive thank you to everyone messaging and checking in, you’re all so nice.”

In January 2025, Pete took to Instagram to reveal that he was battling Hodgkins Lymphoma, a type of cancer that develops in the lymphatic system.

He posted a photo of himself with a freshly shaved head, and captioned the pic: “New look for my cancer/chemo era… Hodgkins Lymphoma, you dog.”

For context, MasterChef generally starts production around October the year before it airs, and Andy confirmed in an interview with Chattr that it involves “five and a half months of filming.”

That means that Pete’s announcement was posted after filming on MasterChef Australia Back to Win 2025 started.

MasterChef Australia castmates share their support for Andy

Andy took to the comments section of Pete’s post to share his support.

“Sending bulk love mate,” the MasterChef judge wrote.

Some of the Back to Win contestants also took to the post to send their well wishes.

“Oh Pete, I’m thinking of you and sending you so much love,” Rue Mupedzi wrote, while Depinder Chhibber added, “So much love for you, Pete.”

“Love yas,” Declan Cleary wrote.

Pete has been a Starlight Ambassador for years

Pete, a dad of two daughters, has been an ambassador for the Starlight Children’s Foundation since 2021, which is an organisation that helps sick kids.

“I’m so proud to be an Ambassador and help Starlight’s mission to brighten sick kids’ lives every day,” his Ambassador profile reads.

“Starlight gives sick kids the fun and happiness they need so they can live their best lives. It’s so rewarding to see the impact of all those smiles.” 

In 2023, the MasterChef runner-up joined Captain Starlight for a live-streamed Starlight Foundation event, where he whipped up cupcakes for charity and spoke about his time on the cooking show. You can watch it below.

MasterChef Australia airs on Sunday at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.

Before JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes there was Tully and Drew: A look back on Australia’s own Big Brother love story 

by Tahlia Pritchard

The close but confusing friendship of JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes during their time on Celebrity Big Brother UK 2025 generated a lot of headlines, after JoJo was accused of emotionally cheating on her then-partner, Australian influencer Kath Ebbs.

With JoJo dumping Kath at the Big Brother UK after party, she and Chris have now given an interview to ITV’s This Morning show, denying that there is a romantic spark between them.

“He’s a great guy, it is platonic, life is life, I don’t know the future of anything. But I’m really grateful for our dynamic and our bond that we have. And whatever life does, life will do,” JoJo said.

JoJo and Chris were tight on the show, often seen cuddling and sharing a bed, which led to fans accusing the American dancer and singer of cheating on Kath, who she had been dating since November 2024.

“I don’t care how old you are or how confused you are, you know how to treat a human being and what’s right from wrong. The way she did her partner dirty on live TV is soul-crushing for them!” one person said on TikTok.

People on social media quickly started comparing the situation to another iconic Big Brother storyline, but one from our very own shores: the romance of Tully Smyth and Anthony Drew (known as Drew) from Big Brother Australia 2013.

What happened between Big Brother’s Tully and Drew?

Tully and Drew captivated the Australian audience after they developed a deep emotional connection during the series. The one problem? Tully had a girlfriend at the time, Tahlia, which caused mass criticism from viewers on social media as people accused her of being unfaithful.

Tahlia then broke up with Tully publicly on Twitter as the show was airing.

Tully was evicted from the Big Brother house before Drew, but came back for a memorable “freeze” challenge. In the challenge, when the games-master said “freeze” the contestants had to obey. When Drew was partaking in the challenge, Tully walked in, kissed him, and whispered, “By the way, I’m single” in his ear before walking back out.

The pair went public with their relationship after the show wrapped up but split shortly after, with Tully once citing that she was “all in” with the relationship but that Drew wasn’t.

They reunited for a podcast episode in 2020 on Tully’s podcast Too Much Tully.

“I moved to Melbourne, I was all in. He wasn’t,” Tully said. “And then we had the additional issue of Drew suddenly being a mega hot, superstar model, and his head… your head just being fucking enormous suddenly.”

Drew added, “It’s a double-edged sword, without it [Big Brother] we would have never met each other, but what it turned us into made us not work.”

In the #Drully reunion fans had been waiting for, nearly a decade after they became household names Tully and Drew reunited for the 2022 season of Big Brother Australia, which saw new housemates compete against ‘Big Brother Royalty’.

Drew had already formed a romantic relationship with ‘new’ housemate Sam Manovski before Tully’s arrival, with Tully expressing surprise at the situation upon entering the house. “Is this actually happening? Already? Week one?” she said, upon finding out Drew and Sam were ‘dating’.

The two both clarified that they had no romantic feelings for each other, with Tully dating someone on the outside and Drew emphasising they had become good friends in the years following their first Big Brother experience.

Tully even opted to vote for Drew in one elimination, saying, “I still cared what happened to Drew, as my friend of 9 years… but I also wanted him to leave so I could finally stand on my own two feet.”

Where do Tully and Drew stand now?

While little is known about how close their friendship is now, the pair still follow each other on social media. Tully even commented on Drew’s engagement video with his fiancée, Bianca, in September 2024, saying, “This is so bloody cute!” and Tully and Bianca also follow each other on Instagram.

It looks like all’s well that ends well!

Love Triangle stars tease explosive reunion: ‘Need therapy’

by Tahlia Pritchard

Love Triangle Season 3 has been filled with drama, from explosive arguments and people being kicked out, to one triangle all trying to date each other.

And for the first time in the series’ history, the cast will do a sit-down reunion, which looks like it’ll be just as dramatic as the rest of the season.

Love Triangle stars tease dramatic reunion: ‘Absolute carnage’

Chloe Hannigan told Chattr that the reunion is utterly explosive.

“[It’s] absolute carnage,” Chloe said about the reunion filming. “There was a lot of tears, some funny moments, some storm-outs, complete and utter confusion and shock. I honestly can’t even put into words how explosive this reunion is.”

Melinda, Mike Gunner’s first match told Chattr that the reunion was “insane” and because she left the show in episode four, she had a bit of catching up to do.

“Expect the unexpected. There are bombshells getting dropped, left, right and centre. It is insane,” she said.

“I literally went to the reunion, and I had to, like, look at these strangers and put two and two together and figure out who was who. I was watching and learning, just as the audience will be, really.”

Former MAFS star Mike Gunner told Chattr that the reunion was ‘mayhem’.

“That reunion was probably filmed over five to six hours, but it felt like an hour,” he shared. “I was glued to everything. It was fucking mayhem, it was pandemonium.

“Like you didn’t know where to turn, and because the thing is, remember, I don’t know a lot about their [the other participants’] relationships. And then you’re watching everyone’s stories back, and I’m like, ‘What is that? What’s been happening?!’ and it’s things they didn’t tell you at the dinner parties.”

Who is hosting the Love Triangle Season 3 reunion?

Chrishell Stause of Selling Sunset fame is hosting the reunion, with the Hollywood star telling Woman’s Day earlier this year that the cast “need therapy”.

“There are moments when I have to be the bearer of bad news [as contestants watch scenes for the first time], and it was hard,” Chrishell said. “They need therapy. Actually, I’m being serious. I see so many of them as younger versions of myself, and the only difference is that I went to a lot of therapy.”

Mike commended Chrishell’s role in hosting the reunion, telling Chattr, “To watch the stories back was pretty full on, and Chrishell did really well to adjudicate it all and stay on top of it, she’s a natural.”

When will the Love Triangle Season 3 reunion air?

The reunion episode will drop Sunday, May 18 on Stan.

Is there a Love Triangle Season 3 trailer?

When it comes to spicy reunions, The Real Housewives of Sydney (RHOS) is in a league of its own. And, if you’re hanging for a dose of post-show gossip, then you’re in luck, because a whole bunch of info about the RHOS 2025 Reunion has just dropped.

The RHOS 2025 Reunion will see the housewives sit down for the first time since the season finale to relive the glitz, glamour and drama. 

Here’s everything you need to know about the RHOS Season 3 reunion.

When is The Real Housewives 2025 Reunion?

The RHOS 2025 Reunion will air on Binge on Tuesday, May 6. It will be uploaded to the streaming platform at 1:30PM AEST.

Who will be at The Real Housewives Of Sydney 2025 Reunion?

While Binge has confirmed that Caroline Gaultier, Dr Kate Adams, Krissy Marsh, Nicole O’Neil, Sally Obermeder, Terry Biviano, Martine Chippendale and Victoria Montano will all brave the reunion, Nicole is noticeably missing from the promo photos.

The first look pics show that — like the Season 2 event — Nicole will be dialling in, rather than joining the other Housewives in person. In a post on her website, Nicole said that her absence wasn’t related to her ongoing battle with Terri, which she spoke about in an interview with Chattr.

“I don’t want to be her friend,” Nicole continued. “If you choose to deal with the situation that way, then you’ve shown me who you are, and I’m not interested in a relationship,” she said.

In the post, Nicole confirmed that she dialled into the Reunion from London and said that she couldn’t attend in person because of a scheduling conflict.

Who is hosting The Real Housewives Season 3 Reunion?

Former The Bachelor Australia host Osher Günsberg will be taking on the role of host at the RHOS 2025 Reunion. He’ll be taking over from Joel Creasy who hosted the Season 2 event.

“Being asked to host a Housewives reunion is like getting a call-up to play halfback in the NRL Grand Final – there’s a very specific set of skills required. What you don’t see is the hours of preparation to make sure every rumour gets a reality check, and every feud finds its moment of reckoning,” Osher said of his new role.

“I’ve trained my whole life for this gig, and I’m glad I did because these ladies really put me to the test. I can’t wait for fans to feast on this reunion, it’s juicy with just the right amount of crunch, enough spice to give you a bit of a kick, and when we are done, I guarantee you’ll feel more than satisfied.”

Osher is no stranger to reality TV drama, and we can’t wait to see how he handles the housewives!

The RHOS Reunion will air on May 6 on Binge.

Former Farmer Wants A Wife contestant spills on shocking daily salary: ‘You just want to cry’

by Tahlia Pritchard

A former Farmer Wants A Wife contestant has gone rogue on TikTok, spilling some juicy behind-the-scenes secrets about the show.

Ellen Dunger appeared on the 2024 series and was vying for the heart of Farmer Todd. Upon Farmer Wants A Wife premiering again, the former participant has taken to TikTok and Instagram to spill some piping hot tea about what filming the show is really like.

After last night’s mass exodus, Ellen commended Bridget and Emmie for leaving Farmer Tom’s farm, saying she also tried to leave her season but “producers manipulated me into staying.” In a previous Instagram Story when the show premiered, Ellen also alluded to the producers being “emotionally abusive”.

2024 Farmer Wants A Wife contestant reveals behind-the-scenes filming secrets: ‘Emotionally draining’

From warm champagne to cheese platters left out for hours and dinner parties that don’t start until 11pm, Ellen has lifted the lid on the filming process for Farmer Wants A Wife and, look, we knew farm life would be hard, but we didn’t imagine it’d be THIS hard.

“These girls will be criticised for being upset, but they have literally spent back-to-back days filming until it is dark. It is so emotionally draining and you get exhausted,” Ellen said.

@ellen_159 I have been revealing a little bit of what actually happens on the Aussie Farmer Wants A Wife and people have been enjoying it. Here's what I've said so far…. #fwaw #farmerau #australiantelevision #realitytv #television #farmerwantsawife ♬ original sound – Ellen

“These poor girls literally wear the same dresses, hair, and makeup for days on end,” she continued.

Farmer Wants A Wife contestant spills on minimal ‘$80 a day’ pay

It’s not a huge secret by now that reality TV stars aren’t paid well, and Ellen has revealed that the Farmer Wants A Wife Ladies only get $80 a day, and 40% of that is withheld until after the show airs.

“So you get sweet FA in terms of money,” Ellen said, saying they were only paid the $80 daily wage on actual filming days.

“It’s all out of your own pocket, the dresses are all your own, they send you a full packing list, you need eight dresses, you need eight farm outfits, you’re up at stupid-o-clock to do your own hair and your own makeup, and then you film all day and they rip emotions from you,” she continued.

“By the end you’re so emotionally drained that you just want to cry, you’re just so tired.”

Who is MAFS’ Scarlett and why is she now involved in the Ryan and Jacqui drama?

by Tahlia Pritchard

A new player has entered the ongoing Married At First Sight (MAFS) drama between Jacqui Burfoot and Ryan Donnelly, with a 2017 MAFS participant stepping forward to slam Ryan after having a short-lived romantic relationship with him.

Scarlett Cooper starred in Season 4 of MAFS in 2017 (the same season that featured the twins, the runaway bride, and Deb the lady who was angry that she didn’t get a Polynesian groom, in case you needed a refresher), and Scarlett’s now blasted Ryan in a series of Instagram Stories.

What happened between MAFS’ Ryan Donnelly and Scarlett Cooper?

According to the Daily Mail, the drama all started when the pair met at Australia’s Most Influential People Party where the pair hit it off and spent the night together.

Initially, Scarlett had spoken highly of Ryan, calling him “hot” and “intelligent”. “Ryan’s fucking hot, and I wish I was paired with him because we would’ve made MAFS history,” she said in an Instagram Story.

Not long after, Scarlett took to Instagram again to slam Ryan’s behaviour, saying she was fearful after Ryan “censored” her.

“You told me you liked me, you told me I was your perfect fucking girl,” she said, before deeming Ryan a liar and then saying, “You blew up my phone, that is harassment, do not threaten me, do not tell me what I can and cannot say.”

After she accused the groom of trying to control what she was saying to the public, Scarlett said Ryan kept trying to contact her and that she would go to the police.

“I’m scared for my life, he’s been threatening me. I have blocked him, but I’m getting all these prank calls, I don’t know what to do, I think I have to call the police and get a restraining order against him,” she said.

“Get out of my life, or I’ll contact the police.”

Later on, Scarlett took to Instagram again, saying she would get her side of the story across.

“At the end of the day, I’m just telling what happened. I shouldn’t have to be scared, I shouldn’t have a man telling me what I can say, and silencing me,” she said. “I am very hurt and I’m very fragile, but I will get to tell my story.”

Ryan speaks out: ‘I’m dumbfounded’

Ryan told The Daily Mail he and Scarlett met through mutual friends, but after they got intimate, he felt “concerning energy” from her.

“I’m still dumbfounded as to how it’s reached this extent,” he said. “We literally hung out for half a day. We became intimate – but straight after, I started getting a concerning energy from her.

“She started saying things like, ‘You better not ghost me’ and ‘You better not hurt me.’ I already felt pressure to manage her emotions, and we had only just met.”

What was Scarlett’s MAFS storyline?

Appearing on MAFS in 2017, Scarlett was matched with Michael Tomic, who was touted as Australia’s “pickiest” man.

The pair’s honeymoon got off to a rough start when Michael confessed to Scarlett that he had a second job as a stripper, with Scarlett saying she was “shocked and disappointed”.

Scarlett was later outed at a commitment ceremony for texting another groom, Johnathan Troughton who was married to Cheryl Maitland. The scandal rocked Johnathan and Cheryl’s relationship, with the two splitting.

Scarlett later said how she was portrayed in the scandal “hurt” her and that she only needed a friend at the time. “I think we realised what all of Australia could see, we were matched with the wrong people,” she later said.

Love Triangle’s Mike Gunner says he was bullied at the dinner parties

by Tahlia Pritchard

Former MAFS groom Mike Gunner’s second shot at reality TV love on Love Triangle hasn’t been smooth sailing so far, and while we need to wait and see if he and his match Melissa will develop a romantic relationship, there’s not a lot of love lost between Mike and the rest of his co-stars.

Speaking with Chattr, the reality star said he felt “attacked” at the group dinner parties.

“Let’s not mess around, I was getting attacked more than what you saw, [they] came at me hard,” he divulged. “I was getting bullied.”

Love Triangle’s Mike calls out co-stars for “bullying”

Mike called out the women within the Love Triangle experiment for the bullying and said the group dynamic reminded him of his school days when he was bullied as a child. However, he did hint that one of the women apologises at the upcoming reunion.

“You know, I’m not sure how your school experience was, but mine wasn’t pleasant,” Mike shared. ” I was bullied, probably like a lot of kids, and I felt like any opportunity that group of girls got to bully me, they took it.

“They were brutal to me. No sooner had I addressed the concerns of one person and their attack, somebody else had a different angle. It was just this rapid fire, like I was under fire and getting bullied.

“Every opportunity to belittle me, I don’t forget that. At the reunion, I said I was actually affected. I am here trying to be this new, improved version, and I just had to fight the urge to scorch the earth with them because they were really, really mean.”

New episodes of Love Triangle drop every Sunday on Stan.

It looks like MAFS’ Jamie and Eliot are actually the real deal: ‘Isn’t just a fling’

by Tahlia Pritchard

In a Married At First Sight (MAFS) couple swap we never saw coming, rumours are running rampant that Jamie Marinos and Eliot Donovan have coupled up, after they were spotted looking cosy in Queensland.

The pair have been friends since the show ended, and speculation about a romance started earlier this month when they appeared close at Daily Mail’s reunion screening party. They’ve since made numerous TikToks together, becoming MAFS fans’ favourite new duo, and now that bond could be forming into a stronger connection.

MAFS source on Jamie and Eliot: “This isn’t just a fling”

According to Woman’s Day, Jamie has shacked up temporarily with Eliot in the Gold Coast after the two were spotted going on a date to Movie World.

“This isn’t just a fling. They’re very much in it for real,” a source told the publication. “Jamie was supposed to stay in separate accommodation on the Gold Coast this week, but she cancelled her plans to spend the week with Eliot instead.

MAFS' Eliot and Jamie laugh at each other in TikTok

“Jamie has been ‘incognito’ since arriving on the Gold Coast and was planning to try to keep this from everyone, as they really want to make a serious go of this.”

Neither Eliot nor Jamie has confirmed a romance, but Eliot has continued fuelling speculation on TikTok with several cheeky videos.

MAFS’ Dave’s salty remark about Jamie and Eliot causes backlash

Meanwhile, Jamie’s ex Dave Hand was recently asked about the connection, saying he didn’t care. But fans soon called him out for slut-shaming Jamie, when he added another comment.

‘What are your thoughts on Jamie and Eliot getting together?’ one fan asked Dave in an Instagram AMA.

“Honestly, I don’t have any thoughts on it. I don’t care,’ he replied. “But I highly doubt she’s going to sleep with three cast members from this year’s season.”

Fans were less than impressed with the groom’s comment. “Dave is throwing shade like a hurt princess,” one person commented on TikTok.

“Not Dave talking about who Jamie is sleeping with. He’s biggggg mad and I’m here for it,” another said, with someone else agreeing, “Dave responding shows that he is bothered, he should’ve just kept quiet. Love Jaime and Eliot.”

Andy Allen reveals the MasterChef Back To Win 2025 contestant he’s excited about

by Danica Baker

There’s some seriously impressive chefs among the mix for MasterChef Australia Back To Win 2025, but there’s one that particularly stands out for judge Andy Allen.

During an exclusive interview ahead of the season premiere, Andy told Chattr that he was particularly excited to see Laura Sharrad return, who came runner-up on both Season 6 and Season 12.

“You’ve got people like Laura, Callum [Hann] and Sarah [Todd] who are obviously there for a third time. And I feel like that goes to show how much this competition means to people. I just can’t help but single out Laura, who’s a new mum.

“She had a six-month-old baby when she walked back into the kitchen this year; she’s got businesses.

“For her to drop everything, and just for that, probably, last chance of lifting that trophy, just goes to show like after 17 seasons, where we’re still going strong, which is lovely.”

Andy judged Laura during his first stint as a MasterChef judge in season 12.

“If it wasn’t for an icy Jerusalem artichoke ice cream, then she may have come out on top,” Andy laughed, referencing her controversial dessert choice in the first Back to Win finale.

Who else is Andy excited to see on MasterChef Back to Win 2025?

But he added that while he’s glad that Laura is having a third shot at the MasterChef winner’s trophy, he’s excited about the entire cast of Back to Win 2025.

“I’m glad that Laura came back. It’s her third time now. For her to come that close, not once, but twice, she’s come second,” he said.

“I’m stoked that she’s back, but I’m actually just happy that everyone has given it another crack. It’s been so amazing to watch people from last season, all the way back to season one, grow again. No matter what you’ve done in the past, you walk into that kitchen, it just makes you grow, whether it’s as a person or as a cook.”

Australian Survivor v The World’s Shonee and Parvati spill on their matching strategy

by Rachel Choy

Move over, Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn II, because new Survivor: Australia v The World goss has just dropped! Mothers Shonee Bowtell and Parvati Shallow have joined forces during a podcast episode, and they’ve spilled some serious information about what’s to come when it hits screens in July. 

Shonee has long been known as the “Australian Parvati” due to her strategic and social prowess, so fans are super excited to see if these two will join forces in an epic alliance. 

During an appearance on Parvati’s podcast Nice Girls Don’t Win, the pair seem to be pretty chummy, so fingers crossed they link up on the show.

When Parvati’s co-host Amy Bean asked the pair what makes them similar players, both Shonee and Parvati provided some insight.

“People always say ‘Australian Parvati’ to me,” Shonee revealed. “I don’t watch American Survivor, but I have seen some of [Parvati’s] YouTube shorts and I think the interesting thing that people think about me is that I play, and I’m not very serious. 

“I do it in a lighthearted way and then also people look at me and think, ‘Oh she won’t be able to do that’, but then I actually can. Like doggy paddle and hold my arm out for two hours, I can win Individual Immunity. And I think obviously Parvati is very strong.”

Parvati said Shonee was “underselling” herself, and called her “so sharp”. 

“I’m just remembering our conversation that we had on Australian Survivor and and I obviously can’t go into detail about it but it was so brilliant on your part, the way that you were having this conversation, it seemed so [casual], and so chill, but it was so calculated and really, really strategic,” Parvati said. 

Shonee reveals ‘very hard’ side of competing on Survivor: Australia v The World

When Shonee was approached to go on Australian Survivor, her son Vally was just four months old. She didn’t expect to ever play Australian Survivor again, but her partner convinced her.

“My partner was like, we can all go and it can be a memory — it’s like work as well, and also life is for living,” she recalled.

“It still makes me sad to think about it because it was very hard but… I wanted to be able to watch the show with Vally and be like, you were there in Samoa [with me]. It was really hard but I did it.”

Australian Survivor Vs The World Parvati Shonee
They look so good together! Image: 10

Parvati competed on American Survivor Season 40 when her daughter was just 10 months old, so she resonated with Shonee’s tough decision.

“If you’re asked to go play these games and you can as a mum, I think it’s really important to say yes and do the thing that’s yours to do,” Parvati said. “You have to show that to yourself first and foremost that you still are an independent woman, you’re still yourself… and then you’re showing your kid, look, this is what life is about.”

We’re so glad that both Parvati and Shonee made the trip to Samoa and can’t wait to see them on screen!

Australian Survivor Australia v The World will air on Channel 10 and 10Play.

Farmer Wants A Wife contestant exposes brutal reality of the show: ‘Heartbroken, confused and disgusted’

by Rachel Choy

Rumoured Farmer Wants A Wife contestant Charlotte Martin has slammed production and her farmer for how she was treated while filming last year. 

According to former FWAW contestant Daisy Lamb, Charlotte was on Farmer Jack Rowlandson’s farm, but his entire storyline has been cut from the show. Daily Mail reported earlier this year that the farmer was axed from the Seven show after he was caught knocking boots with multiple women at the same time.

Charlotte shared a lengthy statement on Instagram about how she was “failed” by FWAW and gave some insight into what really happened with Farmer Jack.

“In light of the ‘genuine, wholesome love show’ that’s currently airing, I feel compelled to share the truth behind the scenes. This is far from what they show. The experience with Seven and this company has left me with deep emotional trauma that I’ve had to face since filming wrapped at the end of last year,” she claimed.

“What was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity turned into a traumatic ordeal, and the pain has continued long after the cameras stopped rolling.

“For the eight weeks I was away from home, I was failed by this company in every sense. I walked away heartbroken, disgusted, and confused. I put my life on hold for a ‘farmer’ who didn’t deserve even the smallest amount of my heart. Preaching about honesty and loyalty, only to betray those values in the most profound way imaginable.”

The reality TV contestant took aim at the production team, saying they “broke numerous promises”. 

“The breaches of contract and the ongoing investigations led to our farm being completely cut from the show. Yet, not a single apology or compensation has been offered by Seven or the company,” she alleged.

Charlotte finished her statement with a warning to all Farmer Wants A Wife fans engrossed in this year’s season.

“Please, do not be deceived by what you see on screen this season — or any season for that matter. What’s shown is only a fraction of the truth, and the reality behind the scenes is far darker than it appears,” she wrote.

The contestant also said she “can’t wait to share the truth,” before Daisy reposted Charlotte’s story. 

“My girl Charlotte was one of the girls on Jack Rowlandson’s farm that got cut from this year’s season. Can’t wait for her to share her story,” Daisy wrote.

Not much is known about Farmer Jack’s unaired storyline, but hopefully Charlotte and the other women will continue to drop more tidbits of information. 

Farmer Wants a Wife 2025 airs Mondays and Tuesdays on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

MAFS’ Jacqui explains why she didn’t physically face Ryan in court

by Rachel Choy

The legal battle between Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 exes Jacqui Burfoot and Ryan Donnelly has continued to heat up, after the bride provided an explanation as to why she didn’t face him in court recently. 

ICYMI, Jacqui was granted an interim Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) against Ryan to prohibit him from denigrating or harassing her on social media. AVOs generally prohibit certain behaviour with the aim of protecting the person who lodges it.

In response, Ryan filed an application for an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) against Jacqui, and he appeared in court on Wednesday, April 23 at Campbelltown Courthouse. ADVOs are legal orders that protect individuals from violence, threats, harassment, or intimidation by someone with whom they have a domestic relationship.

Jacqui was physically absent from the hearing, and Magistrate Shane McAnulty has adjourned the case until Tuesday, 24 June. Outside the courthouse, Ryan gave a statement to reporters, saying: “An individual has tried to destroy my life, my potential for career options, collaborations, all that sorts with false allegations.”

Ryan’s claims are unproven as the case is still before the courts.

Jacqui has now revealed alleged ‘proof’ she wasn’t required in court, by sharing what appears to be an email saying she was not required to physically attend. 

“As this is a first mention, and you have already noted that you are opposing the ADVO and are requesting a timetable of statements be set, the court can make those orders with your email as your appearance,” the alleged email reads.

“AVL appearance is not necessary in these circumstances. Your email will be placed on the court file, and we will send you the orders thereafter.”

MAFS Jacqui Burfoot statement on Ryan Donnelly court case for ADVO AVO
Image: Instagram

The bride said she was “sick of this stuff” as she has received multiple DMs from people claiming she “must be guilty for not showing up [in court]”. 

The former lawyer shared a three-minute-long video on TikTok clearing up some “misinformation” she believes has been flying around recently. 

“I just want to address the claim I didn’t show up in court and I didn’t appear,” she told fans. “I actually did. So, one of the options to appear in a hearing like this is just to send an email. So I sent an email to the court registrar and said, ‘Hey, I would like to attend by AVL’, which is video link.”

“The registrar said, ‘You do not need to attend this one’. I stated that I was gonna be opposed and I want to move to timetabling and I made a note that this is a vexatious proceeding and that it’s a waste of court resources and he’s made two false statements in his application form and it should be made note of those things,” she claimed.

Austalian Survivor’s AJ reveals what he would have said in his final pitch

by Danica Baker

AJ Antonios played a strong strategic game on Australian Survivor 2025: Brain v Brawn II, making it all the way to the final three. However, when Kaelan Lockhart won the final Immunity Challenge, he chose to take Myles Kuah to the finale, as AJ was seen as too much of a threat to win.

The professional poker player said he had been planning his speech even before his elimination. Now, AJ has revealed how his final pitch would have gone if he had made it to the end.

“I would have loved to get to the end and give that speech,” he told Chattr.

What would have AJ said at the final Australia Survivor Tribal Council?

AJ reflected on his potential strategy for a final Tribal Council pitch if he were to go up against Kaelan and make his case to the Jury.

“I think it would have been really dependent on what Kaelan said, and I was pretty sure that Kaelan was going to go first,” AJ said.

“Kaelan’s not the type of person that brings other people down, so I thought he was going to talk about his own game.

“And because he was just going to talk about his own game, I didn’t want to slander Kaelan. I don’t want to bring him down. I just wanted to talk about my game.”

AJ said he would have adopted a strategy that highlighted Kaelan’s strengths while also showing the Jury that he played a role in moves Kaelan might claim as his own.

“Our games were so linked, because we played together almost the entire game,” he explained. “I thought that I could make a lot of good counterpoints to what he brought up, because a lot of his thinking and a lot of his moves were mine, and I think the audience saw them as mine.”

AJ acknowledged that Kaelan had his own distinct gameplay. “Kaelan definitely did his own things, and Kaelan was this amazing information gatherer, so I wanted to be very open to whatever he said and make counterpoints.”

He added that rather than preparing a fixed speech, he wanted to be adaptable if he made it to the final Tribal Council.

“My final jury speech, kind of like everything in Survivor, would have depended on what was happening and what was on the board,” AJ said.

“I think that I could have given a pretty good speech. I think I would have a lot of fun in that final speech, and I wanted to give a speech where I would make everybody laugh, and I’d be really positive, and I’d make fun of myself, and I just wanted it to be really lighthearted.”

What a speech it would have been!

MAFS’ Carina Mirabile signs with major talent agency

by Rachel Choy

Fashionista Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 bride Carina Mirabile has just signed with a major talent agency, kickstarting her post-MAFS career in style.

The bride announced she is now represented by 22 MGMT, saying that the “cat’s out of the bag”.

“Grateful is an understatement right now,” she added.

The agency was created by Sean Anderson in 2003, and Carina is in good company. The team also represents Neighbours’ April Rose Pengilly, former Sunrise host David Koch, Love Island’s Sophie Monk and more.

“I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity to be represented by such a prestigious agency who represent renowned celebrities like Bec Judd, David Koch, Jodi Gordon, Jennifer Hawkins, Kerry-Anne Kennerley, Ruby Tuesday Matthews [and] Sophie Monk to name a few,” Carina tells Chattr.

“[I] look forward to what lies ahead as we pursue new creative ventures and professional growth together. Watch this space!”

Carina is managed by Tim Wall from 22 MGMT, former Network 10 talent manager.

22 claims to be the “most pro-active talent agency in Australia” and that it has “negotiated some of the largest and most complicated commercial deals” in the country. Wonder what deals Carina will snag! 

The MAFS bride has her own profile page on 22, and the talent agency claims she’s the “breakout star” from the show as well as a “rising force in beauty, lifestyle, fashion, luxury and travel”.

It also notes that she’s made the decision to relocate from Perth to Sydney, possibly for the opportunities and events that take place in the city.

“Carina is known for her bubbly, bright, and glamorous persona — captivating over 150,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, with her audience growing daily,” her profile reads. 

Carina is the only MAFS contestant represented by 22 MGMT.

How much will Carina Mirabile make as an influencer?

Talent agency NEON MGMT previously told Chattr that Carina was definitely the one to watch after MAFS.

“She is likeable, authentic, and has positioned herself as a fashion-forward leader of the show,” they said.

“We also believe that her standing up for herself and her values in the last few episodes, and drawing a line in the sand with Paul was incredibly strong, and will be inspiring for a lot of young women around Australia.”

The talent agency estimated that Carina’s current following and social media presence could start her fee at an average of $5K for content promotions. 

It’s possible now that she has a top talent agent, she could be raking in much more.

It’s nice to see that even though she was saddled with a bit of a dud groom, she’s walked away from the show with something, even though it’s not love.

What talent agencies have past MAFS stars signed with?

Reality stars are often in high demand by talent agencies after their seasons end, thanks to their significant social media influence. This is particularly true for MAFS contestants, whose followings can swell to hundreds of thousands if they are considered a fan favourite.

MAFS Season 6 was particularly successful in launching the influencer careers of its participants. Jules Robinson and Martha Kalifatidis, who took part in the 2019 season, boast over 700,000 followers each. The former is signed with TSA talent, while the latter is managed by LMB Management.

More recently, Lauren Dunn, who was one of the breakout stars on MAFS 2024, has almost 250,000 followers and signed with Icon Management.
