While most viewers are only just getting over the 2023 season of Married At First Sight Australia, Channel Nine was already gearing up for its 2024 season.
Roughly towards the end of July 2023, the network began filming the eleventh season of MAFS with the newly-wed couples being spotted on the streets of Sydney.
Paparazzi shots teased its dinner party with eight couples entering the building and MAFS fans will be familiar with exciting feuds and friendships developed over a glass of wine.
As for who the lovely brides and grooms are for the MAFS 2024 experiment, the network has not confirmed their identities as of yet, however, few contestants have been spotted.
According to the Daily Mail, an actress will be gracing the reality TV realm, Maddy Jevic formerly known for her role as Amber Simmons in Home and Away in 2020.
One of the newcomer grooms is Jayden Eynaud, brother to professional kickboxer Mitch Eynaud from the 2022 season, who was spotted entering with bride, Eden Harper.
Fans should also keep a watchful eye on groom Jacob Dunkley – who will ‘wed’ Tori Adams – as he has already caused some controversy. Courtney, Jacob’s alleged ex, stated the Gold Coast-based personal trainer left her to enter the experiment.
In a comment made on The Wash’s Instagram post, Courtney wrote: “Breaks up with me right after I met his family and he told me he loves me. Tells me it’s for (a) ‘work opportunity in America’ only to find out he’s on MAFS in Sydney.”
MAFS will host its oldest couple yet in the 2024 season, with “silver fox” Richard Sauerman reportedly spotted filming by Yahoo Lifestyle. The author of Are You Living Your Resume Or Your Eulogy?, Richard is a motivational speaker and advertising expert.
He is allegedly paired with creative wedding photographer Andrea Thompson.
Gold Coast beauty and fashion influence, Cassandra Allen is believed to be matched with one of two men, either Tim Calwell, a scalable digital marketing campaign manager or Collins Christian. However, Cassandra’s Instagram account remains public which is unusual for MAFS contestants who are traditionally obligated to make their social media accounts private.
Among this line up, is PR and marketing consultancy owner Lauren Dunn, entrepreneur Simon Flocco, personal trainer Sara Mesa, Ben Walters, Tristan Black, wedding officiate Lucinda Light, real estate agent Tim Smith, financial advisor Jonathan McCullough.
Many media outlets have reported that a same-sex couple will appear in the upcoming season but so far, they seem to be missing.
Daily Mail photographed a man reportedly from the same-sex pairing attending the hens night but he has yet to be seen again in any new photographs from dinner parties. The publication has since revealed that Simon Flocco was left without a husband on his wedding day after he got cold feet and allegedly fled the country and that couple will no longer be appearing on the show.
Although, this isn’t the last you’ll see of a same-sex couple, a whole new couple has been spotted filming at a dinner party as intruders.
Fans are eager to see the romantic and unusual matches the relationship experts have dished up for 2024.
The 2023 season only saw two couples leave the experiment, Tahnee and Ollie; and Mel and Layton – both couples have since broken up. However, the real-life couple swap with Evelyn and Duncan remain together.
