After a rollercoaster week between Dave Hand and Jamie Marinos on Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025, fans were delighted to see the two get back on track during homestays.
Dave took Jamie to meet his dad, who missed their wedding due to undertaking chemotherapy and it was on that visit that Dave received some good news, with his dad telling him that two of his tumours had significantly shrunk, and one had gone completely.
MAFS fans left in tears over sweet home stays moment with Dave and Jamie
With Jamie also getting the tick of approval from Dave’s family, the much-needed heartwarming moment left MAFS fans feeling emotional.
“What a relief!!! That is amazing news!! He would have been all over the place worrying about his dad,” one person commented on the official MAFS Instagram page.
“This kind of connection / real stories / real people wanting to find love is what this should be about, not people after social media likes,” another said.
Others were relieved to see Jamie and Dave looking strong again.
“I think Jamie and Dave are a good match – their relationship issues finally showed and hopefully they can get out of their own ways to be together,” one person said.
“It’s nice to see this side of him again. Open and honest. There’s a different light to both of them in these clips, I’m so hopeful for them,” another commented.

“What a sweet looking man Dave’s dad is. I’m so glad his cancer is on the way out and he’s recovering. Congratulations sir,” someone else said.
The scene even left former MAFS star Lauren Dunn in tears, as she shared on her TIkTok.
“Full on sobbing last night,” someone agreed with her.
MAFS fans point out editing fail in emotional episode
While the scene was obviously emotional, many fans couldn’t help but notice an editing mishap in the episode, with Dave going from clean-shaven when meeting Jamie’s sister in the Monday night episode, to having a full beard again by Tuesday’s episode.
“How did his beard grow so fast? [He had a] beard when he went to the cafe with Jamie’s sister, no beard next day when they moved back in together, then beard again next day in this scene,” one person said.
“Beard grew quick in a few days,” another joked.
“In reality they met with Dave’s dad before meeting with Jamie’s sister, but the show edited it the other way around,” another pointed out.
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
