Bec on MAFS 2026

Despite being voted Adelaide’s most eligible Bachelorette twice, Bec Zacharia hasn’t found the one, but she’s hoping that will all change on Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026.

South Australian-based Bec is hoping to find the love of her life in the experiment, who’s preferably tall, has tattoos and a beard, and is someone she can banter with.

Bec considers herself loud, outspoken and a social butterfly. She has mixed heritage, as her mum is English and her dad is Greek.

Here’s everything we know about MAFS‘ Bec so far.

Bec was engaged before MAFS

Bec was engaged before coming on MAFS 2026, and she broke it off just 4 months before their intended wedding day.

“I was engaged to a lovely Englishman,” she told TV WEEK. “But, unfortunately, I just didn’t have those feelings back. I realised that if we got married, we’d get divorced. I thought it was better off not wasting my mother and father’s money on a wedding.”

Bec and Gia set for explosive clashes on MAFS 2026

Viewers have already seen Gia call Bec a “five out of ten” at the hen’s party, and it sounds like the tension between the women continues throughout the season.

In an interview with Chattr, Gia explained that her comment was taken out of context, and it was actually about the way Bec was treating her.

“The comment about Bec being a five out of 10. I wasn’t referring to her looks; it was referring to how she was treating me. I was judged [by her for] the entire night,” she said.

Gia teased that while Bec may have gotten a good edit at the Hen’s party, she believes that may not continue all season long.

“I think going forward in the show, you’ll see both sides, hopefully, and you’ll see it’s not just me. There are other people who do some things that are questionable.”

We can’t wait!

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