Married At First Sight (MAFS) All Stars is officially coming, and former MAFS Australia stars have been confirmed to be taking part.
The UK-based series has been confirmed by Channel 4 and sees four former faces from MAFS UK and four contestants from MAFS Australia tie the knot with someone they’ve never met before. And, in an even spicier twist, each couple will be made up of one Australian and one Brit.
Steve Handley, Channel 4’s head of reality entertainment, said in a statement: “These eight well-loved MAFS singles didn’t find lasting love the first time, but they haven’t given up – and neither have we.
“Everyone deserves a second chance at love, and this time they’re saying ‘I do’ to a stranger on the other side of the world, risking absolutely everything for another shot at getting it right. I think it will be our greatest love story yet.”
Murray Boland, CPL’s CEO — the production company behind MAFS UK — said that Australians have a great track record of striking up a last connection with a Brit.
“We’re so looking forward to this. Research shows people in Australia have more successful and enduring relationships with Britons than any other nationality, so we are genuinely hopeful that our brave singles can finally find the love they have been looking for,” he said.
Which MAFS Australia contestants will be on MAFS All Stars?
While the cast hasn’t leaked just yet, we’ve got a feeling MAFS Australia Season 6’s Jessika Power will be popping up on All Stars.
Back in October, Jessika told Chattr that she was interested in joining an All Stars season.
“There have been a lot of rumours about it, haven’t there? I would definitely do it. I think it’d be fun,” Jessika tells Chattr. “I would do MAFS again. I think I’ve matured a lot from it, my journey on MAFS was quite… full of turmoil… it was a rocky boat. And I was quite young when I did that show.”
Jessika added that she didn’t take “the journey as seriously” when she was 27, but six years later, she could approach it in a different way.
MAFS 2025 groom Adrian Araouzou also told Chattr that he’d be keen to do All Stars; however, given the UK pairing format this season, it may not work out for him.
“I’d be surprised if this is a thing and they didn’t invite me back,” he says. “The only condition is my MAFS All-Stars match can’t live further than an hour flight from me.”
MAFS 2025 bride Carina Mirabile told Chattr she’s also interested in returning for MAFS All-Stars, and after what happened with Paul Antoine, she definitely deserves a second chance!
“After my experience on MAFS, I’ve grown so much emotionally and mentally, and how I approach relationships. I didn’t get the love story I hoped for, but I stayed true to myself, and I’m proud of that but let’s be real — people made judgements about who I am based on just a snapshot of me,” she spills.
“There’s so much more to show, and I’d love the chance to really let people in on the full Carina. The Taurus is ready to be unleashed, and I’m not afraid of a little juicy drama or gossip — it’s part of the ride, and I’m here for it.”
Will MAFS UK be filming in Australia or the UK?
According to an official synopsis released by the show, filming will take place in both Australia and the UK.
“The experiment begins again in the UK; each couple will navigate cultural clashes and old wounds before they head to Australia to meet friends and family on the other side of the world and face the ultimate decision: who will consider uprooting their life for love?” It reads.
“Will the Brits tempt their partners to trade beach life for Blighty, or will love pull them towards a fresh start under sunnier skies? For these second-timers, there’s more at stake than ever before.”
Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 airs Sunday – Monday on Channel 9 and 9Now.
