After Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 bride Bec Zacharia debuted her rumoured boyfriend Marcus Rich in early May, fans of the show have been flooding posts with hundreds of comments. The main issue? Marcus Rich works as a “luxury escort” in Sydney, a profession that Bec is completely fine with, as per MAFS Funny.
However, after some MAFS fans made jibes about Bec needing to pay Marcus to hang out with her, or calling the whole situation “embarrassing”, the rumoured couple responded to some vicious comments.
“She didn’t [pay] actually,” Marcus wrote. “You guys are cooked. Go for a walk or something. Find something positive to do with your time.”
When another fan responded, saying Bec’s behaviour from MAFS was “cooked”, which Marcus didn’t take kindly to.
“You know nothing about me? You verbally attack me, I defend myself, and I’m the bad guy? Having the mentality to spread toxicity online doesn’t make you cooked? I went for breakfast and that gives you the right to be toxic? Seems I’m too calling a spade a spade huh,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Bec didn’t hold back either. After one fan called her actions “embarrassing”, she went all out.
“What’s embarrassing about being friends with a beautiful human? I’m so sorry. What’s embarrassing is you sitting behind a keyboard being a loser. Have a great weekend darling,” Bec wrote.
Bec opens up about her relationship with escort Marcus
This comes after Bec opened up about her potential relationship with Marcus on the MAFS Funny podcast.
“Him being a sex worker, for me, doesn’t… it’s not a factor for me because it’s a job. And I don’t look at the job, I look at the person,” she told the host.
“If I was to be in a relationship with an escort, Marcus or anyone else, in that mind, that relationship would be monogamous because I would compartmentalise the fact that there was the act of going to work and doing that for a job, and coming home and being in a monogamous relationship.”
