Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 bride Rachel Gilmore hasn’t been in a serious relationship for 14 years. Instead, she has found herself in many “situationships” and is hoping to find that “white picket fence” happily-ever-after on Australia’s biggest reality TV show.
Keep on reading to see what else we know about Rachel.
Who is Rachel Gilmore and what does she do?
Rachel is 35 years old and works as a Team Leader in Melbourne, Victoria. According to her MAFS bio—and, honestly, it’s clear from her photos—she’s a warm and bubbly woman with maternal energy and a heart of gold.
She’s known for her big personality and fierce loyalty to the people she loves. The 2026 bride isn’t afraid to stand up for what’s right, which is exactly the kind of energy we need this MAFS season!
Heartbreakingly, though, Rachel hasn’t had much luck in love. Throughout her dating experiences, she’s never been with a man who has made her feel attractive or given her genuine compliments. This has left her questioning her own worth and led her to believe she’s “not beautiful enough” to be in a relationship. As a result, Rachel hasn’t been in a serious relationship for over 14 years.
Our hearts are already breaking for Rachel, so please, experts, get this one right and don’t mess it up for our girl!
Who is Rachel’s groom on MAFS?
We can’t say for certain just yet, as MAFS 2026 hasn’t aired. However, according to photos shared by The Daily Mail and posted on the MAFS fan account, MAFS GOSSIP, it appears Rachel is paired with groom Steven.
MAFS 2026 premieres on Monday, February 2 at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
