Katie Johnston had a rough ride on Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 this year. She was matched with groom Tim Gromie, who told her he preferred “petite” women with blonde or brunette hair.
The couple didn’t last long, and Katie recently made a bold call on Instagram, putting herself forward as the next Bachelorette on the popular dating show.
She tells Chattr her post was “for a laugh”, but wouldn’t say no if producers came knocking.
“As for The Bachelorette, I’d love options. It’d be a good catch up on my lousy dating history these last few years. And best case scenario I’d find love,” Katie spills.
“But realistically, I don’t think it’s going to happen for me. I’ll just have to resort to asking ChatGPT for help to date.”
She says her current dating life is “non existent at the moment”, but isn’t worried or concerned about finding her one true love anytime soon.
“Life is great. Research shows that single women live longer, so I’m leaning into that,” she explains. “I’m warmed that many people want to see me happy and find love, but I am happy, and self love is the best kind anyway.”
Would Katie go on MAFS for a second time?
Some of Katie’s MAFS co-stars have expressed a desire to get back on the show, including Carina Mirabile and Adrian Araouzou, but this bride doesn’t see herself going through the process for a second time.
“I like to have random life adventures, but I don’t think MAFS is on the bingo card,” Katie says.
Some of the MAFS star’s followers want to see her back on reality TV, with many flooding her comment section with opinions.
“I would watch!” one person said.
“I think go for it, there have been many successful relationships from reality TV, don’t listen to negative people who tell you to let it come to you. Sometimes you have to go get what you want… I would definitely watch you as the Bachelorette,” another wrote.
“Yes girl!! You go get your man! Only the best is good enough!”
However, there were plenty of fans who warned Katie against the perils of reality TV.
“Don’t do it. It’s tacky. You are gorgeous inside and out and someone out there will find you. It may take some time but you’re worth it,” one fan advised.
“The only man worthy of you is the one that works on getting you. Please don’t do any more reality shows. You don’t need a man,” another added.
“Please don’t do any shows for love. It will find you. So many men do these programs for the wrong reasons. I don’t want your growth and changes to be pulled apart on TV,” a third chimed in.
Fans also said Katie might be better suited to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! or another dating show that doesn’t revolve around finding love. Either way, it would certainly be interesting to see her back on our screens.
