“Married at First Sight Australia” (MAFS) has seen several couples defy the odds and maintain their relationships beyond the show. As of April 2025, eight couples remain together, with three of these unions sparking particular public interest due to their controversial journeys.
**1. Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant (Season 6):**
Jules and Cameron became fan favorites during their season. Cameron’s heartfelt proposal during the final vows led to their legal marriage in 2019. The couple welcomed their first son, Oliver, in 2020, and their second son in July 2024
**2. Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli (Season 6):**
Despite initial challenges, Martha and Michael’s bond strengthened over time. They announced their engagement in December 2021 and celebrated the birth of their son, Lucius, in February 2023.
**3. Kerry Knight and Johnny Balbuziente (Season 8):**
Meeting as late entrants in their season, Kerry and Johnny’s connection was immediate. They married in January 2023 and welcomed their daughter, Chloe, in June 2024.
**4. Melissa Rawson and Bryce Ruthven (Season 8):**
Melissa and Bryce’s relationship was fraught with controversy, including rumors of Bryce’s outside relationships and disputes with fellow participants. Despite public skepticism, they became engaged in 2021, welcomed twin boys, Levi and Tate, later that year, and married in February 2023.
**5. Jade Pywell and Ridge Barredo (Season 11):**
Latecomers to the series, Jade and Ridge quickly formed a strong bond. Post-show, Ridge relocated to the Gold Coast to live with Jade and her daughter, Victoria. The couple has faced and addressed public scrutiny, particularly concerning allegations of infidelity, which they have denied.
**6. Evelyn Ellis and Duncan James (Season 10):**
Initially paired with different partners, Evelyn and Duncan’s connection emerged during the show’s couple-swap week. Both residing in Sydney, they began dating after the series concluded and have since moved in together.
**7. Jacqui ‘Crazy Eyes’ Burfoot and Clint Rice (Season 11):**
In a dramatic twist, Jacqui and Clint left their original partners during the show and became engaged at the 2025 Reunion Dinner Party. Their relationship has been met with both support and skepticism from the public and fellow participants.
**8. Erin Bateman and Bryce Mohr (Season 2):**
As the longest-standing couple from MAFS Australia, Erin and Bryce have maintained a low profile. They continue to reside together in Melbourne, choosing to keep their relationship largely out of the public eye.
These couples exemplify the varied outcomes of MAFS Australia, with some relationships flourishing despite—or perhaps because of—the controversies they faced during and after the show.
