As I've been out all week getting to know the Married At First Sight 2026 cast as they continue filming, Pedro my producer has been doing some digging on them... and he's uncovered some gold. Including which ones are already famous, which are trying to be famous and which groom apparently likes to share his partner in the bedroom.

After pictures of Married At First Sight icon Jessika Power and recent groom Adrian Araouzou looking cosy in Sydney have started circulating... I asked her directly what's happening between them.

It's once again "TV's night of nights" in Sydney, but despite Married At First Sight being the biggest show on Australian television and up for an award, you won't see the cast walking the red carpet. 

And the reality why, which I reveal here, is kinda sad...

The upcoming 2026 season of Married At First Sight Australia has hit it's first big scandal, with a TikTok questioning why one groom was cast going viral overnight. There's now a movement to have him removed... but have producers failed or did they tick all of their boxes?

Trigger warning: sexual assault. 

There is a new police investigation into an alleged incident that occured during the filming of Married At First Sight - and the impact of this could be huge, and change how every version of the show is made going forward. In this episode, I discuss that incident and consent is monitored across reality television.

Season 13 has now started filming in Sydney, and yesterday I crashed the wedding of couple Rebecca and Steve. As that video now goes viral on my socials, everyone wants to know: How do I really find out when and where Married At First Sight is being filmed? Plus, I reveal the first bit of drama from on-set of next year's season.

As filming is set to start on the upcoming 2026 Married At First Sight season in a couple of weeks, I reveal what we can expect, why it's been delayed and the big battle producers now face.

It sounds like season 13 could become the most controversial yet as they look to explore topics such as open relationships, the normalization of sex work and gender identity with a transgender or non-binary cast member.

What's actually going on between them?

As rumours continue to spread, here's the truth about everything.

After listening to Rhi's full chat on Carina's new podcast This Is Chaos, one particular moment stood out to me on the topic of pregnancy speculation, babies and secret struggles. It's a reminder we all should have, especially the media, as we can often set the precedent on what is deemed acceptable to ask about. 

A random but important episode.

After finding fame on season seven of Married At First Sight in 2020, Hayley become one of the first brides to join OnlyFans and then progressed into hardcore porn, escorting and touring the world as an award winning, adult star. During this time, she was so proud, vocal and unashamed about her career... but she has since realised, having now quit the industry, she was lying not just to Australia, but herself.

As the Josh and Stefano videos have been blowing up on socials, the podcast has taken a step back... and this was intentional, as I knew that once we sat down for a big chat there'd potentially be no coming back.

Which is where we're at, right now.

Long before Married At First Sight took over Australia, viewers were obsessed with watching couples fall in love on The Bachelor. While most ‘winners’ walked away from the reality show being adored by the public, this wasn’t exactly the case for season four’s Alex Nation in 2016, who became the most hated woman in Australia.

As she joins this week's episode of Confessions Of A Reality Star, Alex reflects on ...
