Has Stephanie already spoiled whether she’s still with Tyson IRL?

by Sakara Bell

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.

Stephanie, a 32-year-old real estate agent from Brisbane, Queensland, is strong, independent, and extremely ambitious. She also admits that she’s never been in love. Tyson is a 30-year-old former soldier, a devout Christian, and a proud Donald Trump supporter.

But will these two be the perfect match? Will their ambitious streaks complement each other, or will Stephanie not be able to cope with Tyson’s strong opinions? Keep on reading to find out whether or not Stephanie and Tyson make it the whole way through the experiment!

Are Stephanie and Tyson still together?

Stephanie and Tyson only just tied the knot on TV, so there’s not much information available about their current relationship status.

However, Stephanie may have given away a huge spoiler in a recent interview. She spoke to employment app Get Ahead about her career as a real estate agent, and she can clearly be seen wearing a wedding ring in the video.

While some may take that as a hint that the couple lasted the distance, a former MAFS bride jumped into the comments on Yahoo Lifestyle’s repost of the clip and said the participants are all required to wear their rings after filming.

“It’s in your contract/expectations that you wear your ring after the show so you don’t give anything away! I had to search through the grass where I threw mine and wear it until the day final vows aired,” she wrote.

What is Stephanie looking for in a partner?

At 32, Stephanie says she hasn’t experienced being in love yet, but she’s ready for it. She’s searching for a lifelong partner and a genuine power-couple connection. She’s drawn to someone who matches her ambition, is highly motivated, and takes pride in how they present themselves; ideally, someone in the business world who shares her drive for success.

When it comes to her ideal relationship, Stephanie wants to create something lasting and truly enjoy life together. That could mean building a property portfolio, exploring incredible destinations, and consistently championing each other’s goals and aspirations.

What is Tyson looking for in a partner?

Tyson’s ideal woman is someone with a short dating history who appreciates honesty. He has also made it clear that he does not want a partner who is “woke,” describing it as a red flag. In a pre-recorded application video, he told John Aiken, one of the experts on MAFS, that he would not be interested in someone with green hair or a woman he considers an extreme feminist.

Tyson also admits that he’s a fan and supporter of Donald Trump, and believes he’s doing a great job. And because of this, he wants a woman who likes Trump as well.

In addition, Tyson stated that he does not want a partner who is overweight and described having children as a major dealbreaker, saying he is not interested in raising someone else’s child.

Fans drag MAFS Tyson after he says babies just need food and toilet trips: ‘How hard can it be?’

by Reena Gupta

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?”

Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm this week on Channel 9 and 9Now.

Insider hints whether MAFS’ Grayson and Julia are still together

by Danica Baker

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.

Are MAFS 2026’s Juliette and Joel still together?

by Sakara Bell

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!

What is Juliette looking for in a partner?

This intruder bride is ready to find lasting love. Juliette has faced her share of heartbreaks, but not from a lack of effort; she’s travelled overseas and fallen hard more than once in pursuit of a meaningful connection. Surrounded by engagements and marriages, she can’t help but feel a little left behind. She’s not shy about following her heart, as she once told a guy, “I love you” on a second date.

Despite wearing her heart on her sleeve, Juliette is done being the “almost-girl,” and she’s ready to find someone who can truly commit.

What is Joel looking for in a partner?

Joel has only ever been in one serious relationship. After it ended, he focused on fitness and personal growth, transforming himself into a more confident version of himself.

Though he still sees himself as inexperienced in the dating world, Joel prioritises authenticity over looks, is searching for his forever partner, and is ready to start a family, a lifelong dream of his. The question now is: has he found the right place to make that dream a reality?

Are Juliette and Joel still together?

The fate of Juliette and Joel is still unknown, but according to The Daily Mail Australia, they have a very strong connection and are about to shake up the experiment tonight, with their wedding taking place overlooking the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

They are another MAFS couple who don’t follow each other on social media, yet they both follow other cast members. Hmmm, sounds like there might be trouble in paradise!

Meet MAFS 2026 intruder groom and proud Donald Trump fan, Tyson Gordon

by Sakara Bell

Meet Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 intruder, Tyson Gordon, who is a former soldier and a devout Christian, hoping his future partner is open to faith.

Tyson is also looking for a woman who doesn’t have a long dating history and appreciates honesty. So keep on reading to see who Tyson is, and who his future bride-to-be is, through the MAFS experiment.

Who is Tyson Gordon, and what does he do?

Tyson Gordon is a 30-year-old former soldier turned property investor from the Gold Coast. Before entering the MAFS experiment, Tyson served six years in the Australian Army, including a tour of Afghanistan, an experience he says taught him discipline, structure and resilience.

Since leaving the military, Tyson has built a career buying, flipping and selling properties. When he’s not working on real estate projects, he appears to enjoy an adventurous lifestyle, according to his Instagram. He has competed in Hyrox doubles competitions and spends a lot of time between the Gold Coast and Brisbane, embracing fitness and high-energy challenges.

Tyson has strong opinions and beliefs

Tyson describes himself as a devout Christian and hopes his future partner is open to faith and shared values. He has openly said he prefers a more traditional dynamic in relationships — wanting to provide, protect and take the lead.

He considers himself regimented and conservative, and isn’t afraid to stand by his opinions, even if they divide the room.

Fellow MAFS bride Alissa described him as “one of a kind with strong opinions” in an interview with Chattr, hinting that he brings strong energy and firm views into the experiment.

Who is Tyson’s ideal partner?

Tyson has made it clear he doesn’t want a partner he considers “woke,” even calling it a red flag. In a pre-recorded application video, he told John, one of the experts on MAFS, that he wouldn’t be interested in “someone with green hair” or “a woman that’s a complete feminist.”

He also said he’d prefer a woman who doesn’t dislike Donald Trump, explaining that he’s a supporter and believes Trump is doing a great job.

In addition, Tyson stated that he doesn’t want a partner who is overweight, and said having children is a major dealbreaker for him. As he put it, “I’m not here to look after someone else’s kid.”

Tyson was married before the experiment

According to his Channel 9 bio, Tyson was previously married to a Mormon woman from Utah. The pair maintained a long-distance relationship during his military deployment, but the marriage ended shortly after she relocated to Australia.

Who is his bride-to-be in the MAFS experiment?

Tyson’s bride in the experiment is Stephanie Marshall, a 32-year-old real estate agent who has never been in love.

Whether he and Stephanie are the right match remains to be seen, but with strong beliefs, big personalities and high expectations involved, they’re certainly set to be one of the most talked-about couples of the season.

MAFS’ Alissa slams Brook’s apology: ‘Can’t blame producers and alcohol for your actions’

by CHATTR Team

Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 bride Alissa Fay has slammed Brook Crompton’s apology following the explosive Dinner Party fallout, saying she can’t “blame producers and alcohol” for her behaviour.

The confrontation comes after the dramatic second Commitment Ceremony, during which the relationship experts called Brook out for her actions at the Dinner Party, prompting her to storm off and exit the experiment.

Prior to her exit, Brook apologised to Stella and Alissa during the televised Commitment Ceremony, and later shared a social media post following the Dinner Party, offering another apology to both brides. However, Brook also told Woman’s Day that producers were “egging” her on to make drama at the Dinner Party, and said she drank “two bottles of champagne” before going in.

In an interview with Chattr, Alissa said that she doesn’t agree with Brook’s explanation and said she needs to learn from the mistakes she’s made.

“Honey, you had a choice. You can’t blame producers and alcohol for your actions. Like that is a choice. We have a choice to show up every day. And the more that you say that [it was the producer’s influence], the worse it looks. You just gotta just take it on and then move forward.”

Alissa went on to say she wasn’t sure whether Brook — and Gia, who also hurled insults at her during the Dinner Party — were sincere in their apologies.

“I think it was a [case of] everybody else is doing it, so I better, and it wasn’t real and authentic, because if you watch back, you will see Brooke and Gia are looking at each other and smirking while I’m talking, which is pretty disgusting,” she said.

<

Alissa is empathetic towards the backlash Gia and Brook have received

Alissa added that she’s received multiple private apologies from Brook, but can’t see them ever making amends.

“With Brooke, I received an email apology about two days ago, and obviously, I received an apology five weeks after the dinner party as well. I have accepted what it is, and I’ve moved forward, but, those girls are dead to me. They are not my people, and that is okay, but I’m I wish them all the best, and you know, I just hope that they’ve learned something from this and that they can be better.

Alissa added that while she isn’t on good terms with Brook and Gia, she still has empathy for what they’re going through.

“I think she’s feeling very embarrassed and remorseful, I really do. But yeah, it is a little bit too late for it

“I just hope that they’re moving forward and can really take a deep look at themselves and just show up as better people. Because, wow, the response to all of this has been just hectic, and it’s been heavy, and I couldn’t imagine what they’re going through right now as well.”

Meet MAFS 2026’s intruder bride, Stephanie Marshall, who has never been in love

by Sakara Bell

Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 intruders are set to be wed in tonight’s episode, and bride Stephanie Marshall is ready to fall in love for the first time.

Strong, independent, and thrives on routine and self-improvement, this bride is not letting anything come between her and finding the man of her dreams.

So let’s hope, for Stephanie’s sake, that she can fall in love for the first time during the MAFS experiment.

Who is Stephanie Marshall, and what does she do?

Stephanie is a 32-year-old Real Estate Agent from Brisbane, Queensland. According to her Channel 9 bio, she is ambitious, driven, and passionate about growth. She knows exactly who she is, and she is always looking for ways to improve herself.

Naturally, of course, we have to do a quick scroll through the ‘gram, and Stephanie looks to have two Instagram profiles, one of course being her own personal account, which looks to be the one where she will be posting her weekly MAFS updates, but she also seems to have her own Real Estate profile too.

@Sellit_withsteph has 2,240 followers, is Wellington Point’s Top Agent, and has sold an impressive 61.5M in the last 2 years. Will Steph’s success intimidate her old-fashioned groom?

Who is Stephanie looking for when it comes to love?

At 32 years old, Stephanie admits she has never been in love, but she is looking for a life partner and a true power-couple dynamic. She is looking for someone just as ambitious as her, driven and proud of their appearance. Someone who potentially works in business and shares that same desire for success.

When it comes to Stephanie’s ideal partner, she wants to build something meaningful and live to the fullest. Whether that’s investing in property together, travelling to beautiful destinations and supporting each other’s dreams.

Who is Stephanie’s husband to be?

Stephanie’s husband is a 30-year-old Tyson from the Gold Coast. On the surface, he seems like Stephanie’s perfect match, as he buys, flips, and sells properties.

According to The Daily Mail, Tyson’s entrance into the experiment is set to make waves, as some of the things he said were so outrageous that producers had to step in to shut it down.

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

MAFS’ Olivia Frazer dishes on surprise wedding: ‘Feels like we were always meant to be married’

by Danica Baker

Former Married at First Sight (MAFS) bride Olivia Frazer has officially tied the knot in a surprise wedding, and she and her now-husband Greg Rutherford have dished on what happened.

Olivia, who has already changed her last name to Rutherford on Instagram, explained that she and Greg are having a wedding in the UK, but it was easier to do the legal side here in Australia first.

“We decided to just do the legal bits quietly while in Australia as it’s a less complicated legal process than trying to do it in the UK,” she told Chattr.

The couple hosted what their nearest and dearest believed was an engagement party — only for guests to discover upon arrival that it was actually their wedding.

“My friend Amber married us in front of my mum, brother and two more friends before people arrived for what they thought was our engagement party. It was just family and a few close friends.

Olivia also revealed there was a small MAFS connection at the wedding, with former bride Alyssa Barmonde creating the cake.

“Alyssa Barmonde made the cake! We just wanted to keep it super casual since we are having a bigger wedding (with all the bells and whistles) in England with both my family and Greg’s.”

Greg added that he and Olivia are in a “love bubble to the max” since exchanging vows in front of their loved ones.

“Married life just feels like we were always meant to be married,” he added.

Olivia said that while they’re super excited for their big UK wedding, they consider their Australian legal ceremony their official wedding.

“We definitely feel married. We are going to use this date as our anniversary. It just all feels very natural and exciting. But yeah, the celebration on the weekend felt like an engagement party (which it was), and so now we are super pumped for our wedding!”

MAFS’ Olivia and Greg’s relationship timeline

Olivia revealed her engagement to Greg on social media in December, telling Chattr that they met on Hinge when she was in the UK, and they hit it off immediately

“The spark was instantaneous. Within a week, I’d changed my flights so I could spend some time with him before my trip with my mum. When it’s so easy, you know it’s right.”

Four months later the pair got engaged at a private garden in Newton Hall in England. 

“We’re both just so in love and so happy about our engagement,” Olivia gushes. “He took me to a private garden in Newton Hall here in the North East of England. Wrapped it up with a lovely pub dinner. Very us coded.”

It’s the happy ending she deserves!

Fans slam Concetta’s pre-recorded I’m a Celebrity win: ‘Super weird and forced’

by Danica Baker

Concetta Caristo was officially crowned the winner of I’m a Celebrity Australia 2026 — but the radio personality didn’t actually know she was the Jungle Monarch when her winning scene was filmed, as it was prerecorded.

Because the entire season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! was pre-filmed while the winner was decided by public vote, the three finalists each recorded a winning scene. However, only the segment featuring the contestant who received the most public votes was ultimately aired.

That meant that Concetta was essentially acting in her winning scene that was shown to Australia, and fans of the show called it “anti-climactic”.

“That was the s**ttest way to end. They could have at least also cut to them live at the venue they’re watching it on TV to see the real reaction, given we all knew it was pre-recorded,” one person on Reddit suggested.

 “I can’t imagine how awkward it must’ve been for each of them to record a separate ending with all their family members present, knowing their win might not come to fruition,” another added.

A third pointed out that filming multiple alternative endings would have been a lengthy process, which may have affected the momentum of the contestants’ reactions.

“They have to reset literally everything, the drones, fireworks, settle them, bring them all back, fix up the red carpet so it doesn’t look like someone has already walked it, ready camera angles and weather conditions for the drone…. It was probably like 1-1.5 or 2 hours for each crowning.”

“They were having Con and Luke act, for so long…..but they’re not actors. Gary could have pulled it off. Con really, really can’t act, and it felt super weird and forced.”

Fans celebrate Concetta’s I’m a Celebrity win

While viewers weren’t impressed with Concetta’s winning segment, many shared their excitement over her actual victory.

“Happy to see Concetta win. She was a constant ray of happiness & positivity throughout the whole show,” one person wrote on X.

“She’s just a genuine, lovely girl. Congratulations, Concetta!” A second wrote on Facebook, with a third commenting: “Congratulations, Concetta. Loved your enthusiasm, positivity and kindness.”

Has the I’m A Celebrity Australia 2026 winner already leaked?

by Rachel Choy

It’s almost time for the next Jungle Monarch to be crowned, but has the winner of I’m a Celebrity 2026 already leaked?

The I’m a Celebrity winner will be decided by public vote, so the winner won’t be known until the very last minute when it’s announced on TV.

However, Facebook fan groups are already convinced that there’s one fan favourite who will take out the win. According to those groups, they think that Luke Bateman will be crowned the winner of I’m a Celebrity 2026.

The I’m a Celebrity finalists were leaked mid-way through the season

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia 2026 is slightly different this year, as it’s pre-recorded, and, with filming wrapped up in December, the final episode has already been filmed.

So, was the winner leaked? Well, perhaps partly! One publication has reported the identity of the three celebs who apparently make it to the final.

However, Julia Morris told Chattr that even she doesn’t know who has won the show yet, adding that she believes fans will find it hard to pick a favourite this season.

“I think they’re going to struggle to find a favourite. Oh, my God, right up to and including the moment and the penultimate episode, where the audience gets to decide who wins, so we don’t know who wins,” she said.

TV Blackbox correctly reported that the public will be able to vote between three finalists; Luke Bateman, Concetta Caristo and Gary Sweet to determine the winner.

Do all other reality shows film multiple endings?

Yes. The format used on I’m a Celebrity 2026 isn’t dissimilar to other shows Channel 10 has aired in the past, with MasterChef Australia judge Andy Allen previously telling TV Tonight the show films “multiple endings”.

“It’s the only way to get a true winner,” he said. “You can try and contain the 200 people, I suppose, with friends, family, crew, if you wanted to gamble it. But I think there is so much on the line with this show, the last thing anyone wants is for a production that goes for six months, airs for three months [to be spoiled]. It’s the only real way to keep it under our hats.”

The I’m A Celeb insider added that this new format is “clever”, saying there’s still plenty on the line. “The cast still feels the pressure, the audience still gets their vote, and production gets the flexibility of a pre-recorded season.

“They’ll have to sit on it for weeks. No spoilers, no slip-ups. The winner won’t know until Australia decides.”

I’m A Celeb Australia 2026 premieres on Sunday, January 18 on Channel 10 and 10Play.

Alissa and David explain why they chose to have sex on MAFS despite their Christian faith

by Reena Gupta

Alyssa Fay and David Momoh come across as one of the more solid couples on Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026, and a lot of that probably comes down to values: both of them come from Christian families, with David in particular proudly having parents who are both pastors.

So, it’s fair to say he struck gold in being matched with wife Alissa Fay, who also grew up in a Christian community, and continues to identify as a Christian. So what does that mean for whether or not Alissa and David had sex while living together on the show?

“I’m not about the whole ‘wait before marriage’ thing,” Alyssa tells Chattr when asked about the doctrine of not engaging in sex before marriage. “I feel like in today’s day and age, you know, if it’s right, it’s right… it’s just [about] if it’s the right person and it feels right,” she said. “We have other traditional values, for sure. But no, that’s not [one of them]”.

David responds to the rumours he’d be abstaining from sex throughout the experiment

Also speaking to Chattr, David says rumours that he’d be abstaining from sex throughout the experiment, as communicated by Brook at the ‘Red Flag, Green Flag’ challenge weren’t true, clarifying that at Bucks Night, he said he would not be having sex until “after the wedding night,” adding that the whole thing was “clearly miscommunicated or misheard.”

David does say, though, that he believes in getting to know the person rather than jumping into bed straight away. “Ultimately, my faith is a personal thing between me and God, and everyone’s on their own personal journey… I think everyone comes down to how you relate with God,” he said. “None of us are perfect. I’m not perfect.”

Alissa confirms to Chattr that she and David had sex about three weeks into the experiment, and that given the intensity of the show, the time felt closer to three months. “[We] just feel very connected,” she says. “Obviously, everything is very fast-tracked in the experiment, you live together, and you are given challenges, and you get to know each other at a deeper level very early on in the experiment.”

Expressing similar sentiments, David says: “I think I felt like a very strong draw, and it felt like it was right.. we had gotten to know each other emotionally and mentally by that point,” he stresses. “I feel like things just led in the right direction and happened at the right time.”

Alissa says she didn’t know Bec ‘from a bar of soap’ before MAFS

by Danica Baker

Married at First Sight’s (MAFS) Bec Zacharia dropped a bombshell when she revealed during the second Dinner Party that she knew Alissa Fay from before the show, claiming that she had “dirt” on her fellow South Australian bride.

However, Alissa has rubbished Bec’s claims in an interview with Chattr, saying that the two shared no relationship prior to coming onto MAFS.

“She doesn’t know me. We have a few mutual friends. I’d only met Bec briefly once or twice at a mutual friend’s gathering, but we never had a relationship. I didn’t know her from a bar of soap,” Alissa said.

Alissa added that she doesn’t believe that Bec has anything on her and doesn’t agree with the way she handled the situation.

“Dirt. It’s funny, she thought she had dirt on me, but it wasn’t dirt. It was just mean. It was just her trying to tear me down and just gang up, which is just nasty,” she said.

Alissa said she felt the women had banded together this season, and when she and Stella showed no interest in joining them, they were turned on.

“I feel like, because Stella and I just never participated in the girl gang, like we never wanted to be part of it, because we’re not there to make alliances and be in a girl gang.

“We’re there to find husbands, and I feel like they didn’t like that. We weren’t going to join the girl gang. So we’re just going to stay in our own lanes, and I think that also was a threat to them.”

Alissa explains the divide between the MAFS brides

In the second Dinner Party, it was clear to see that there was a divide with Alissa and Stella on one side, and Bec, Gia and Brook on the other. However, Alissa explained that the divide ran deeper than just those involved in the Dinner Party feud.

“Stella and I called the girls [on the other side] a five-headed dragon; Brooke, Gia, BEC, Rebecca and Mel, and they were all in a group chat together prior to this dinner party, talking about tearing us down,” she said.

Alissa added that she built friendships with a few of the women who remain close to this day.

“So, me, Rachel and Stella are very close. Rachel’s actually my best friend, she’s gorg. Stella’s also very, very, very close to me, but Rachel is actually my closest friend throughout the season. And obviously, I’m friends with Julia as well,” she explained.

Alissa nearly quit MAFS after the Dinner Party: ‘I was shaking. I was terrified’

by Danica Baker

Last night, viewers witnessed one of the wildest Dinner Parties in Married at First Sight (MAFS) history, with several brides lashing out at Alissa, imitating her voice and calling her fake.

While viewers were understandably shocked by the attack on Alissa for — what appeared to be — no reason, she told Chattr in an interview that she was also the target of other outrageous accusations that didn’t make the cut.

“There were a lot of disgusting things that were said during the Dinner Party that can never be aired,” she said.

Alissa added that while she appeared to brush off the harsh comments that were thrown her way from Brook, Gia and Bec, they really hurt her deep down.

“I remember sitting at that table and my hands were sweating. I was shaking. I was terrified, because I was like, What is actually going on? I couldn’t believe it, because Stella and I never did anything. We’ve we only spoken very highly of those girls. I never said one bad thing.”

“It’s so hurtful. Like, even when I watched back on some of the clips last night, it’s traumatising. Because I’m not a nasty person. I’m a nurse. I care for people, I love people. It’s my job. That’s what I do on a daily basis. So to have that vicious, nasty, mean girl behaviour at me was just very new to me.”

In fact, Alissa said what she experienced at the Dinner Party made her want to quit the experiment altogether.

“The next day, I didn’t want to get out of bed. I was planning on leaving the experiment, because I was, like, I don’t need to be here, you know, I came here for what I got. So I was, I was happy to walk out,” she said.

Alissa added that her blossoming relationship with David was the only reason she decided to stay.

“He was amazing. I would have exited the experiment after that Dinner Party, if it wasn’t for him, I would have left,” she said. “I had unfinished business to do. I didn’t want to just walk away and let him down.”

“We all deserve to be there and find love, like and if I walked away, I was only going to be letting myself down and him down, so I had to show up.”

David reveals how he convinced Alissa not to quit MAFS

In a separate interview with Chattr, David detailed how upset Alissa was on the morning following the explosive Dinner Party and echoed her sentiment that they copped a lot more than was shown.

“She honestly couldn’t get out of bed. I feel like last night didn’t even show how much we copped. It was like three hours of her just getting abused, and me getting abused,” he said.

“The next day, she didn’t get out of bed, and we were there for like hours in bed, and you know, the producers were saying, You got to go to the next thing. And she didn’t want to go. She wanted to leave.”

David said seeing Alissa in such a state was really hard for him, but he just reminded her of her own self-worth.

“How I propped her up was I just reminded of the queen she was. I was like, You’re a queen. Like, you’re not gonna let these guys get to you because they’re jealous and they’re giving that mean girl energy. You’re bigger than that. You’ve been through way more than this.

“And so I ended up talking her out of the state she was in, and then she propped herself up, and yeah, we got her out of bed, and kept going with the experiment. But yeah, it was very, very hard.”

MAFS’ Stella reveals why she was a ‘target’ for Brook at the Dinner Party

by Reena Gupta

It’s the day after the explosive second Dinner Party on Married At First Sight (MAFS) and fans are still recovering from everything that went down.

While the Dinner Party didn’t begin too dramatically — apart from Rebecca and Steve clashing at drinks — the night quickly went sideways when Brook made a surprise appearance, which was quickly followed by her shooting barbs at the brides around her, with Stella and Alissa copping most of the flak.

Speaking with Chattr this morning, the bride seemed blindsided as to why Brook had singled her out. “To be honest, to this day, I can’t figure out if she had — almost like — a personal vendetta on me since the red and green flag event on Tuesday,” Stella told Chattr.

“I know people around me saying, obviously, you know, she expected to be in the best possible position, being the best, the prettiest, the smartest… and she probably felt challenged in a way. That’s what people say around me,” she notes.

But Stella says Brook’s outburst probably wasn’t about her. “I can only speculate that she was probably just not happy within herself, and needed an outlet. You know, I feel like sometimes when people are so full of negativity inside, they need to put that negativity somewhere outside… so I feel like I was a target to alleviate her own [problems].”

Looking back at the Dinner Party, Stella added she really couldn’t think of anything she had done to make Brook say what she did, stressing that her conscience was clear. “I do feel proud of myself,” she said, adding that she’s glad she never lowered herself to the behaviour of the other brides.

Where do Stella and Brook stand now?

After the Dinner Party, Stella says that Brook reached out to her and sent her an apology. “At the time, I sent her a beautiful message back, and I said look, I don’t hold grudges. I wish you nothing but the best… but you know, it was just that one interaction.” Stella added that Brook also messaged her after the final vows, but she never responded.

“I think what I saw yesterday at the table, you know, she was challenged in a way. She was challenged. She was challenged and she exposed herself. And I don’t know how she’s gonna deal with that. I think at the time, she was probably riding on her high horse, you know, like, I’m, ‘the it girl. I’m the hot girl’. And it’s probably the universe giving her a bit of a reality check.”

However, another source tells Chattr that Stella and Brook’s feud was encouraged for ratings and the women are on good terms now.

“Stella and Brook made up after the show and don’t harbour any hard feelings for each other, so don’t always believe what you see on TV!” the insider said.

Spoiler: Insider claims one of the MAFS 2026 couples got engaged at Final Vows

by CHATTR Team

Amid the chaos and controversy of Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026, it seems true love has prevailed, with an insider claiming one couple secretly got engaged at Final Vows.

Stella and Filip are clearly one of the strongest couples in the experiment at this point, and it appears their bond only gets stronger, with a source claiming Filip gets down on one knee at the end of the season and proposes to Stella.

“Stella gets engaged at the end, at Final Vows, so they’re going to be the golden couple all season, like Rhi and Jeff from last year,” the insider told Chattr.

Speculation about Stella and Filip’s engagement has also popped up on TikTok after a user posted a video of the two walking hand in hand.

“Guys, it’s Stella and her husband from MAFS, they’re still together, they’re at Cronulla, having a little walky-walk. I can’t think of his name, but slay,” they wrote, and one person responded in the comments section claiming that the couple recently had an engagement party

“They are engaged in real life now and just had their engagement party,” the user wrote.

In an interview with Chattr, Stella was coy when asked whether she could see herself getting married to Filip.

“We don’t know what the future holds,” she said, adding that “getting married is a beautiful aspiration in life — to have a lifelong partner with whom you build a life together and support each other through everything.”

However, Stella did reveal that she and Filip have talked about what they think their kids would look like.

“We actually ran a ChatGPT simulation,” she told Chattr. “They would get pretty bloody good genes. Filip is tall, dark and handsome, and I’m petite, and you know, strong, little lady. So, I think the kids would have quite good genes, in that sense.”

“I was just saying I would love to have a blue-eyed baby, but I think Philips has dark eyes and dark eye genes are quite strong, so I don’t know if that’s gonna work in my favour.”

Have any couples ever gotten engaged on MAFS before?

No! Over the 12 previous seasons of MAFS, no couple has ever gotten engaged at Final Vows, so if the claims are true and Filip pops the question, the couple will make history.

While no couple have actually gotten engaged on the show, last year got close, when Jacqui and Clint — who weren’t even paired together on the 2025 season — got engaged while watching the reunion.

“You’re amazing, and I know we’ve talked about a lot, a lot about our future and our future plans. We signed up for Married at First Sight to get married, [and] to find a life partner. So I’ve got one question for you,” Clint told Jacqui.

He got down on one knee before pulling out a little ring box. She started screaming and hugging Clint, before nodding yes.

The couple are still together and gearing up to celebrate their wedding this year.

Meet MAFS 2026’s intruder groom, Joel Moses, who describes himself as a former ‘fat Uber driver’

by Sakara Bell

It’s time for the Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 intruders! One of the new grooms is Joel, who would describe himself as a former “fat Uber driver” and has spent the last five years reinventing himself into a stronger and more confident person and is ready to find his forever on MAFS.

Who is Joel and what does he do?

Joel, 31, is a Sydney-born, first-generation Australian of Iraqi heritage, and a model and drummer. Taking a closer look at Joel’s Instagram (currently private), it looks like he’s also signed to Wink Models and Khoo Management.

According to his Channel 9 bio, growing up wasn’t easy for Joel as he faced bullying and often felt different, but he admits that this only helped shape his self-awareness.

According to Who Magazine, he’s a “self-confessed Mummy’s boy” who has described himself as “over the top” and “too much for some.” However, Joel does credit his single mum, whom he calls a “spiritual goddess,” and apparently can even read people before he sees the signs… Do we have our first psychic on MAFS!?

What is Joel looking for when it comes to love?

Joel has only ever had one serious relationship. After it ended, he threw himself into fitness and personal growth, reinventing himself as a more confident person.

While he still considers himself inexperienced in dating, he values authenticity over appearances, is looking for his forever partner, and is ready to start a family — something he says has always been his dream. Has Joel come to the right place for his lifelong dream?

Who is Joel’s bride-to-be on MAFS 2026?

According to Who Magazine, Joel has reportedly been matched with a possessive and overly invested bride, Juliette Chae. However, these intruders are yet to walk down the aisle, so we will just have to keep watching to find out.

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

Meet MAFS 2026’s intruder bride, Juliette Chae, who told a guy she loved him on the second date

by Sakara Bell

Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 wouldn’t be complete without any intruders, now would they? Among the intruders is bride-to-be Juliette Chae, who admits she can be possessive and overly invested, but she’s laid it all out to the experts to help her find a groom who can commit to her. So, the question is, will the experts get it right?

Who is Juliette and what does she do?

Juliette is a 27-year-old bride from Melbourne, Victoria, with Lebanese, Maltese and Egyptian heritage. She spent her early years growing up in Singapore before eventually calling Melbourne home.

Not only does she work as a receptionist at a real estate firm and is currently studying to become a licensed property agent, but she admits in her Channel 9 bio that she would trade it all in to become a mum. And if that’s not enough, she reportedly directs short films too!

Juliette is surrounded by marriages and engagements and can’t help but feel left behind. She’s not afraid of grand gestures; she once travelled overseas for love and even said “I love you” on a second date.

Despite sounding like a bride who wears her heart on her sleeve, she’s tired of being the almost-girl, so Juliette, may the MAFS gods forever be in your favour!

Who is Juliette matched with on MAFS 2026?

While nothing has been confirmed yet — with the intruders still to be wed — according to Who Magazine, Juliette has reportedly been matched with self-confessed “mummy’s boy”, Sydney-born model and drummer Joel. For Juliette’s sake, let’s just hope she’s not expected to take on the role of “mummy.”

Are MAFS 2026’s Rebecca and Steve still together?

by Rachel Choy

Over the past few seasons of Married At First Sight (MAFS), the show has included older couples. It’s brought us great joy, with participants like Lucinda Light providing excellent entertainment and a fresh perspective. For MAFS 2026, the experts have matched older couple Rebecca Zukowski and Steve Powell.

51-year-old Rebecca is a recent empty nester, with her son Austin, 19, previously being her top priority. Steve, 50, has four daughters and claims to be able to understand and relate to women well.

However, will Rebecca and Steve’s relationship last in the real world? Due to MAFS 2026 being filmed in July 2025, Rebecca and Steve already know the answer to this question. But for all you MAFS fans who like a sneaky spoiler, we’ve rounded up everything we know about whether Rebecca and Steve are still together in real life.

Let’s dive in!

Are MAFS’ Rebecca and Steve still together in real life?

No — they’re not! Rebecca and Steve didn’t even make it through the experiment together.

After butting heads all week, the tension came to a head at the second Commitment Ceremony, where both participants chose to write ‘leave’, bringing their time on the show to an early end.

Prior to their decision to leave, Rebecca reposted a meme that described Steve as a “heartless superficial prick” on Instagram, hinting that these two were well and truly over.

What else do we know about Rebecca and Steve?

Rebecca and Steve don’t appear to be on the show for social media fame, with both participants having under 1,000 followers on Instagram. The bride’s Instagram account is filled with photos of herself and her son, while Steve’s account has a mere three photos on it.

Steve is a creative director from Victoria, and he is looking for a long-term love. The groom admits he’s been “selfish” when it comes to past relationships, but he’s hoping to find his forever person.

Rebecca is a leasing manager who happens to live in the same state as Steve, which bodes well. She doesn’t like dating apps, but is partial to a silver fox. The bride is hoping to find somebody she can share luxuries with, such as fashion, dining out and champagne.

Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm this week on Channel 9 and 9Now.

The unaired MAFS argument that ruined Julia and Grayson’s relationship

by Rachel Choy

Married At First Sight (MAFS) fans were perplexed by how quickly Julia Vogl and Grayson McIvor‘s relationship deteriorated, but an insider tells Chattr there has been plenty of “context” missed from the edit.

While Grayson seemed frustrated that Julia wanted to play a card game to develop emotional intimacy during her Ultimate Fantasy Night, it appears the couple were on rocky ground leading up to Intimacy Week. Our source says that Julia simply wasn’t comfortable getting physically intimate with the groom.

According to the insider, Grayson snores loudly at night and this spiralled into an argument. The sleep-deprived bride and her noisy groom had a fight and their relationship never fully recovered.

“He was annoyed at Julia for being tired, and this big argument ensued. He spoke in an abrasive tone, and their fight got nowhere. The bride was far too exhausted to have the conversation,” a source claims.

Fast-forward to Intimacy Week, and Julia was feeling drained and “shaken up” by their fight. “There was no way Julia wanted to engage in physical intimacy with Grayson, because she didn’t have the emotional connection with him. She needed to feel safe and secure to embark on something romantic, and this just wasn’t there,” they add.

The source theorises that Grayson expected Julia to dress up in lingerie or initiate something “sexy”, which is why he slammed her card game in his interviews.

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

Why did Grayson and Julia’s relationship never take off?

Chattr also understands that Grayson and Julia wanted to go at different paces. While the bride needs to feel “emotionally attracted” to a partner before embarking on something romantic, there have been rumours floating around about Grayson that have called him a “serial dater”.

“At the end of the day, Julia was struggling to feel emotionally attracted to her partner, and she simply wanted to take things a little bit slower. Is that a crime?” a production insider asks.

“To see him patronising her and judging her for being in a different place, considering they had a big argument, it was just tone deaf.”

The edit has been favourable towards Grayson, but he may have made mistakes in their relationship, too.

“He probably was looking at all the other guys who were being physically intimate with the other girls, and there would have been a rejection wound there. But he was never honest with Julia about how he was feeling,” the source claims.

“He would pretend he was fine, and then keep a running tally of every time Julia upset him, and only bring it up in front of the cameras, even though she tried to connect with him in private.”

Yikes. It doesn’t sound like these two are going to last at all.
