Julia Vogl MAFS 2026 bride meet

Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 bride Julia Vogl will give the producers a run for their money, as this former journalist and celebrity interviewer knows all the tricks of the trade.

She’s crossed paths with celebrities like Kate Winslet, Matthew McConaughey and Cher, so she won’t be starstruck by the other influencers on MAFS (such as TikTok star Alissa Fay).

The bride is said to be “magnetic” and now works as a confidence coach. Here’s everything we know about the 2026 bride.

What is MAFS 2026 bride Julia Vogl’s job?

Julia used to work as a journalist and entertainment correspondent. She worked as a presenter for Channel 10 across their Wine and Dine advertorial series, and spent two years working as an entertainment reporter for The Project.

She previously worked for NewsCorp, A Current Affair and Beat Magazine.

Since leaving the journalism industry, she has carved out a new niche as a confidence coach. She runs the Talk is Cheap Academy, which helps business owners improve their offerings.

“She helps badass digital business owners make five-figure months without vanity metrics using pop-iconic video content creation,” her bio on LinkedIn reads. “In the last year, Julia has helped some of her clients go viral, make tens of thousands of dollars, attract clients and build self-assurance in the process. Her frameworks and teaching style is unique, strategic and anchored in mindset.”

Who is Julia matched with on MAFS 2026?

Julia has been partnered with Grayson McIvor. He owns a recruitment agency in Sydney, so these two can talk business all day (and night) long.
