Fiery Lithuanian Stella Mickunaite joined Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 in the hope of finding love, and she was paired with Croatian-born Filip Gregov.
In their first episode, both Stella and Filip stated that they were looking for a traditional relationship, one where the man earns the money and takes on the provider role, and the woman is the mother and caregiver.
So, on that level, Stella and Filip match, but will their broader values and personalities be compatible enough for the couple to last outside of the experiment? Read on to find out everything you need to know about whether MAFS‘ Stella and Filip are still together in real life.
Are MAFS’ Stella and Filip still together in real life?
It certainly sounds like it! At this point, Stella and Filip are undoubtedly one of the strongest couples in the experiment, even exchanging the word ‘I love you’ in their second week.
And, according to an Insider, Stella and Filip were a strong couple throughout the entire experiment, and he got down on one knee at the end of the season and proposed to his TV wife.
“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.
On top of that, a TikTok user spotted the couple out on a walk hand in hand in Sydney’s South.
“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 New Idea, Stella and Filip were unable to confirm the current status of their relationship; however, they both gushed about how they feel about each other, hinting that their still together.
“I got my soulmate,” Stella told the publication. “You could see big feelings were there from the start.”
Filip also praised his TV wife, saying that the two hit it off straight away.
“Stella is one of the purest, most authentic people I’ve ever met,” he said. “From the moment we met, the physical, mental and spiritual attraction was there, big time.”
Stella added that during the experiment, she and Filip would wake up at 4:30am to squeeze in some extra time together before the cameras started rolling.
“We’d spend a few hours chatting in bed and hanging out before filming started,” she explains. “It was a special time for us.”
What was Stella looking for in a husband?
Stella moved to Australia from Lithuania when she was young, and admitted it wasn’t an easy transition being in a new country with a new language.
She believes her heritage plays a part in the passionate type of relationships she looks for, saying she doesn’t believe a one really begins until fire and passion bubble to the surface. She added that while she’s really emotional and sensitive in relationships, it sometimes comes across as harsh or blunt because of the cultural differences in Australia.
She was hoping to find a man who can handle that and who will lead and make the decisions for her. She also wanted someone who’ll integrate her into his family and look to have children in the very near future.
What was Filip looking for in a wife?
Filip moved to Australia with his family when he was two, and is extremely close to them. He was hoping to create a family of his own with similar morals and values.
While Filip admits that he can be really picky when it comes to women, he was hopeful that the experts could manage to match him with the perfect woman on MAFS.
Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm this week on Channel 9 and 9Now.
