Who is MAFS 2026 groom Danny Hewitt

Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 participant Danny Hewitt reminds us a little bit of Billy Belcher. The Brit moved to Australia in his 20s, instantly falling in love with the country.

He’s covered in tattoos, but is said to be a bit of a “soft and cuddly teddy bear” underneath all his swag and cheekiness.

What else do we know about this MAFS groom? Read on to see all the gossip we’ve found on Danny.

What does MAFS’ Danny do for a job?

Danny previously worked as a tradie, but has since swapped his toolbox for corporate life. He now works in real estate and finance, and is a bit of a hotshot. According to Daily Mail, he sold $9.6 million worth of property in 12 months, so he seems to be very successful.

“He knows how to work a room,” a production insider told the publication. “He’s not afraid of the spotlight, and that’s exactly what we want.”

MAFS’ Danny has made ‘many mistakes’ while dating in the past

This MAFS groom used to be a self-described “player”, but he swears he has changed his tune. According to his MAFS bio, he has “made many mistakes” while dating in the past, and ended up losing potential relationships as a result.

He’s now determined to find his “ride or die” partner, and he’s said to be protective, loyal and the type of person who will stand by his bride no matter what.

Who is Danny matched with on MAFS?

Danny is matched with socialite Bec Zacharia, the feisty bride who is already feuding with Gia Fleur. Their wedding doesn’t get off to a good start, as Bec tearfully declares she didn’t “want to be with anyone who gets arrested”. Yikes.

So, are Danny and Bec still together today? If you’re interested in a spoiler, we have an update here. Otherwise, we’ll have to see how their honeymoon plays out.

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