It seems this season of Married At First Sight (MAFS) has only just wrapped up, but we’re already getting wind of the next batch of castmates set to cause a stir in the 2027 instalment.
With the antics of the 2026 season in the rear-view (well, at least onscreen), a bunch of casting leaks in recent weeks have identified some of the brides and grooms set to undergo the MAFS experiment next year. The leaks come courtesy of some sneaky paparazzi pics capturing the 2027 weddings, with social media gossip pages also revealing who’ll be walking down the aisle when MAFS’ 14th season arrives.
Speaking of which, Channel 9 has not yet locked in a premiere date for the new season, though we do know that filming is underway and expected to continue until November of this year. In anticipation of that, we’re sorting through all the leaked casting clues about MAFS’ 2027 season. If they’re anything like this year’s batch of romantic hopefuls, we’re in for one hell of a rollercoaster ride.
Read on for everything we know about MAFS’ 2027 leaked cast.
Who makes up the MAFS 2027 leaked cast so far?
The MAFS 2027 brides
Sophie Vidal
Sophie Vidal is a tattooed bride matched with football player Rob Harb. Daily Mail reports she’s sweet and relaxed, but can stand up for herself when need be. “She can definitely be feisty when she needs to be,” a friend of the bride said.
Kathryn ‘Kat’ Lennon
Kathryn ‘Kat’ Lennon is an ICU nurse who found herself on the frontline COVID response while living in the UK. She worked 12-hour day shifts while wearing PPE.
In an interview with ABC, she said: “I’ve seen some pretty awful sh*t. So I can handle it… I’m still in good spirits, I feel healthy and happy.” She will likely be resilient when it comes to the trials and tribulations on MAFS.
Kat is matched with James Alexander.
Bella Kajewski
Bella Kajewski is a model and actress. She already has over 10,000 followers on Instagram, so the micro-influencer is used to the spotlight.
Leanne Antoinette
Leanne Antoinette is a former Australian makeup artist who has been paired with Connor Rogers. She’s also a reformer Pilates instructor and owner of Soflo Studios in Melbourne.
Sarah Jane Comben
Not much is known about Sarah Jane Comben, but she’s matched with Steven Hiles. Her Instagram is set to private, but she is currently followed by MAFS 2026 groom Grayson McIvor. Interesting!
Sarina Monastirli
One bride heavily rumoured to have joined the 2027 cast of MAFS is Sarina Monastirli, a Victorian woman who reportedly has a background in theatre. New Idea reports that Sarina was cast because she has a very minimal social media presence, with an insider telling the outlet that the bride “isn’t an influencer” and is “normal compared to what people expect.”
Kristen Goedecke
Another rumoured bride is Kristen Goedecke, an Adelaide real estate agent who was papped crying just minutes after arriving during her Sydney wedding ceremony by the Daily Mail last month. Additional details about this 2027 MAFS participant — including who she is matched with — are scarce at the time of writing, so watch this space!
Victoria Sellar
Victoria Sellar, a personal trainer from Melbourne, is reportedly one-half of a bisexual match set to appear on MAFS’ 2027 season. The Daily Mail reports that Victoria is a “confident and energetic” participant who is comfortable with the rest of the castmates.
Kodie Wyatt
Also joining next year’s batch of brides is Kodie Wyatt, who is reportedly an aesthetic nurse from Perth. She was pictured shielding her face with her bouquet while filming her MAFS wedding in North Sydney last week.
Shona Marino
Flight attendant Shona Marino is said to be the bride matched with Victoria for the new season. It’s reported that both Sona and Victoria told producers they didn’t have a preference around matching with either a man or a woman, and that they discovered the same-sex pairing when filming their wedding episode.
“They were definitely the wildcard couple,” a source told the Daily Mail of Shona and Victoria. “It was the biggest gamble the experts made this season.” Here’s hoping producers don’t now cast a homophobic groom to rain on their parade!
The MAFS 2027 grooms
Rob Harb
Rob Harb is a football player who is matched with Sophie Vidal. Close friends told Daily Mail he’s “calm, measured and grounded”, plus he has a strong work ethic.
James Alexander
James Alexander is a marketing professional from Sydney, and he’s matched with Kathryn ‘Kat’ Lennon. According to Daily Mail, he is passionate about music and fashion.
Chris Colombo
Tattooed groom Chris Colombo has been matched with Bella Kajewski. Daily Mail reports he is “fiercely loyal and protective” of those who he loves. He’s also not afraid to stand up for what he believes in, so the claws might come out at the Dinner Parties.
Tim Bates
Tim Bates owns a cafe in Brisbane and has been matched with Sarina Monastirli. He also previously competed on Seven’s Million Dollar Island, so could he be looking for fame?
Connor Rogers
Connor Rogers is a footballer who has a wild backstory. In 2025, he suffered from a knee injury during a match, meaning he had to undergo months of recovery. He’s also previously appeared on Dating Naked: UK.
Steven Hiles
Steven Hiles has been paired with Sarah Jane Comben. He works in the Sydney Hospitality industry and has been connected to venues such as the White Horse Hotel and the Hunter Wine Bar.
Kayne Buik
Kristen has reportedly been matched with 2027 MAFS groom, Kayne Buik, who was seen at the same filmed ceremony in Sydney last month. You might remember Kayne from his previous appearance during Sam Frost’s season of The Bachelorette, or his popular TikTok page where he shares dating advice. His best advice? Find love on reality TV, I guess!
Kayne’s Bachelorette stint saw him gain the title of the ‘gimmick guy’ given his outlandish attempts to win Sam over, and insiders reckon his MAFS casting will be just as splashy. “He knows how to make people feel comfortable, but he also knows how to get attention when he wants it,” a source told the Daily Mail.
Wintah Cunnington
According to the social media page MAFSGossip, Kodie is matched with Wintah Cunnington. We know few details about this groom, except for him being a coal miner from Byron Bay whom people describe as a “nice guy”.
Those are all the leaked names of the 2027 MAFS cast so far, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated whenever new brides or grooms drop. Buckle up, folks!
