Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 may have wrapped up months ago, but the drama keeps swirling. While Billy Belcher and Awhina Rutene kept teasing a potential romantic relationship, the MAFS groom has confirmed he’s single and ready to mingle… with another MAFS bride?!
A video of former MAFS bride Lauren Dunn cosying up with Billy was shared on the MAFS Gossip Instagram account, quickly attracting a bunch of comments and racking up over 100,000 views. Are these two now dating, or is there more to the story?
“Me and Lauren ain’t dating,” Billy tells Chattr.
“I love [the rumours it] keeps me entertained. You just get spotted with someone, and automatically you’re dating. Me and Lauren have been friends for ages.”
Would Billy go on MAFS again?
Billy didn’t have the greatest time on MAFS, clashing with his match Sierah Swepstone. He was furious when Sierah met Awhina’s husband, Adrian Araouzou, for a “plate of meat”, and even suggested a couple swap.
So, would he dip his toes back into the experiment and give MAFS another go? According to the groom, if producers “paired [him] with [his] type”, he would say yes. But after his rough experience on the show, his list of non-negotiables is very long.
We haven’t seen many people return to the show in the past, with Eliot Donovan being paired twice on MAFS 2025 and Elizabeth Sobinoff trying to find love on Season 6 and Season 7. There have been countless rumours of a MAFS: All Stars season getting off the ground, so there’s still a chance Billy could find his perfect match on reality TV in the future.
Billy’s castmate Carina Mirabile previously told Chattr she wants to be on MAFS: All Stars if it goes ahead, saying: “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.
“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.”
It would be wild to have an entire season of returning MAFS contestants, but it’s drama we all desperately crave.
