It feels like it was just yesterday we watched the first batch of couples walk down the aisle on Married At First Sight Australia, but soon enough the first intruders of the 2025 season, Beth and Teejay were matched.
Although Beth and Teejay’s wedding day was shrouded in drama from the other couples, the intruders may just be a match made in MAFS heaven!
Beth is a 28-year-old salon manager from Queensland, who originally hails from Lancashire, Northwest England but moved to Australia 12 years ago with her family.
Before her big wedding day, Beth is excited and nervous, given she has never had a boyfriend before. But now, she hopes to find love and share her life with someone who is ready to settle down.
“It isn’t normal, like who gets to 28 and has never been in a relationship?” she said.
While she was nervous her new husband would consider her lack of dating history a red flag, Teejay felt nothing but “respect” and admiration for his new wife.
“Beth is such a beautiful girl inside and out, and it sucks that no one’s ever appreciated that. It’s wild,” he told the crew. “She’s never had a boyfriend, but now she’s got a husband – she’s skipped all the BS.”
Teejay is a business development manager who is also 28 years old from Queensland. He hails from a large family of Greek and Indian heritage, but is the only single child of seven siblings.
He has some experience in the love department having been in two long term relationships in the past.
Reality TV fans may recognise Teejay, considering he competed in the 2023 season of Big Brother Australia before being the ninth person to be eliminated.
But now, Teejay is ready to settle down and become a dad with someone who makes him laugh, while filling him with emotional and mental stimulation.
His father certainly made every jaw at the wedding reception drop during his speech.
“To our new daughter-in-law Beth, we can’t wait to make a lot of memories with you in them. May all your ups and downs be between the bed sheets,” he said, followed by shocked laughter from the guests. “And hurry up with some grandbabies.”
Following their wedding day, it was all smooth sailing in the experiment as Teejay and Beth stayed clear of drama – until the annual Couples Retreat.
Beth involved herself in Ryan and Jacqui’s relationship when their intimacy became a popular topic at the retreat, ultimately Ryan called Beth “classless.” A label that didn’t sit well with Teejay.
“I think Ryan is the last person that can call someone classless,” Teejay told said on Today Extra with David Campbell and Sylvia Jeffreys. “When I heard that, I kind of saw red.”
“I really wanted to confront him about that because it’s going to be a cold day in hell before someone calls my wife classless and doesn’t hear from me.”
While Teejay’s sense of protectiveness is endearing, we haven’t seen this passion carry into other aspects of their relationship. During the second last commitment ceremony of the season, Beth confessed they hadn’t been physically intimate since the wedding and was growing more concerned that her husband just wasn’t attracted to her…
Teejay clarified that he simply need an “emotional connection” before doing the deed. The pair were intimate days later after a romantic date night – only for Teejay to confess he doesn’t know if the relationship will progress in the real world during Homestay Week, leaving Beth understandably confused.
In an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle, Beth claimed her husband may have had “ulterior motives.”
“I don’t think he’s a bad person at all, but I think looking back now, he wasn’t into me at all. And so the only thing I can really think of is maybe he just wanted to stay for as long as he could to get as much fame as he wanted,” she claimed.
In an interview with the same publication, Beth further claimed there was a significant moment between her and Teejay that was edited out.
“I remember being like, ‘You’ve not really tried, you’ve not even really taken me on a date’. And then Adrian was like, ‘Well, did you take Teejay on a date?’ and Teejay was like, ‘Yeah, you could have taken me on a date’,” she claimed.
The bride then said she “stormed” out of the dinner party when Awhina, Jamie and Jacqui followed her.
“The fact they cut that whole thing out, I’m just so disappointed,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle. “At that dinner party, I felt like I’d finally taken my power back and realised my worth, and they’ve just cut it all out.”
