Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 contestant Gia Fleur is a little hard to read. She’s lashed out at other brides, quit the experiment for less than 24 hours, and has one of the biggest personalities. However, an insider close to the bride says we’re not seeing the softer parts of Gia.
The single mum was previously a nurse before having her daughter, and then moved into aged care and NDIS support work. “She works with people with disability, including home care, which means she’s a very caring and empathetic person,” the source claims. “She works part-time now, but you really need compassion to work in these sorts of professions.”
The 35-year-old was also previously married for 10 years, and knows exactly what she’s looking for. She didn’t go on MAFS for fame; she wanted to find a father figure for her daughter.
“She decided to join the experiment to find a stepdad for her daughter. As the only parent on the show, Gia is possibly the most genuine contestant there, because she found it tricky to open herself up again to the possibility of love,” the insider adds. “People probably think that she’s so much drama and call her a bitch or whatever, but there will be redemption coming up.”
According to our source, there will be a storyline involving Gia, which will allow viewers to understand the decisions behind her earlier actions.
“There’s a lot of things that were orchestrated this year, including feuds. Gia actually got on well with lots of the other brides, but they weren’t allowed to hang out on camera,” they claim. “Halfway through, she’ll have a moment where people understand why she’s made certain choices, and public opinion will turn a little bit.”
Are Gia and Scott still together today?
Another insider previously told Chattr that while Gia and Scott McCristal make it to Final Vows, the bride is left heartbroken.
“She was led on. People will see that, it’s very obvious,” the source said. “Scott only talks to one person from the show now, and at the last Dinner Party, he says he was too good for everyone and that they’re beneath him.”
The source also claimed that Scott declared Gia was “not of his calibre”, which sounds messy and unforgivable.
Yikes, this is going to be one hell of a ride.
Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
