While two couples actually found love (for a short time anyway) – excluding the real-life couple swap – all of these “stars” are taking advantage of their newfound fame – or so we thought.

While MAFS is known for churning out content creators for adult subscription site OnlyFans, Bronte was (surprisingly) the only bride to use their reality TV fame to boost their ability to earn income on the r-rated site. 

Taking to her Instagram to announce the news in June 2023, Bronte said she signed up due to “popular demand” by her fans, revealing that she made an impressive $100k in her first three days. 

She also revealed to 9Entertainment in November of that same year that whilst she was currently “30, flirty, and thriving” she was on the hunt for a new partner who could ideally give her kids of her own in the “next four to five years.”

“I just want to be someone’s first choice. I’ll never settle for less,” she said in the same interview.

In January 2024, Bronte launched her one swimwear label – Lolé Swim – alongside her best friend Lauren.

Following in Bronte’s footsteps, Caitlin took to her Instagram that she was reactivating her dormant Only Fans account.

The admission that an account already existed took her fans by surprise, especially considering Caitlin admitted she had spoken candidly about her use of the platform to generate income whilst on MAFS. 

Unfortunately for Caitlin, these conversations didn’t make it to air. 

Since rejoining the site at the beginning of June, the Daily Mail has reported that she has made almost $20,000. 

In August 2023, Caitlin shed light on her new relationship, revealing to Yahoo Lifestyle that surprisingly going on MAFS did ultimately help her find love. 

“After I left the experiment, I quit my job to go on MAFS so I needed a new job. And I stumbled across a job ad for a certain company and I applied and met my partner there.” 

She said she and Kobe (her boyfriend) had an “instant connection” and started dating a few months after their first meeting. 

“He was a blessing. I think it was very hard for him to watch certain parts of it [MAFS], I think he got a bit emotional when I was a bit emotional. But he was such a really good rock.”

In September of that same year, Caitlin made the move from Brisbane to the Gold Coast to pursue her career as a professional makeup artist.

Caitlin and her partner Kobe also celebrated a year together in January 2024.

Evelyn Ellis

Other than hard launching her new boyfriend and former co-star Duncan James, Evelyn has been busy attending Australian Fashion Week, posing for the cover of Maxim magazine, and has (unsurprisingly) secured numerous brand deals with businesses such as Uber Eats and Guess on Instagram. 

Now, a source has reportedly told Yahoo Lifestyle that Evelyn is tipped to be “Channel Nine’s new darling.” 

“This could be anything from hosting segments on Today Extra to landing her own digital series or even appearing on Celebrity Apprentice if they bring it back. There’s a lot of possibilities and it’s all very exciting for her,” the source said. 

Just days after this interview, Channel Nine announced that Evelyn would be joining the travel program Getaway as a special guest host. 

There’s no doubt Evelyn was made for TV, now it’s just a matter of time to find out where the young model will go next.

Before she even entered the experiment, Janelle already had an impressive social media following. 

And now, since appearing on MAFS this following has only skyrocketed!

From teaching her fans make-up techniques, how to do hairstyles and even making over some of her fellow brides and grooms, Janelle has been a busy girl, sharing her gorgeous personality and expertise with the world. 

She’s also dating a mystery man, confirming the exciting news in July 2023 to 9Entertainment.

“Let’s just say, there will be a soft launch for a while!” she laughed. 

“I’m enjoying the privacy, especially with everything being so public after the show. I really just want to enjoy this new boyfriend. It’s official, it’s a boyfriend.”

She beauty influencer then added that her love was a “completely normal dude.”

“He is just the kindest, most generous person ever and he’s so thoughtful – and he’s tall!”

Shedding further light on her relationship with Yahoo Lifestyle in August 2023, Janelle said that she met her man on a night out with her MAFS co-stars. 

“I think post-show, I just didn’t have much trust in men. I always just assumed the worst. So it took a lot of patience for this man to make sure I felt comfortable as well, and he is the most patient man, so I’m very, very lucky.”

Harrison Boon

Polarising persona Harrison had plenty of things during the experiment so it comes as no shock that he still has plenty of opinions to share outside of the experiment. 

He’s since launched a podcast – The Harrison Boon Podcast – where he has interviewed the likes of his mum, a tabloid journalist, and fellow MAFS bride Olivia Frazer to name a few. 

After 11 episodes that premiered from May through to November 2023, it looks like the podcast project has been put on the back burner (at least for now).

In addition to this, Harrison stepped into the ring with former MAFS star Daniel Holmes, with all funds raised donated to not-for-profit organisation Youth Off The Streets. 

He’s also still feuding with ex “wife” Bronte Schofield (shocking, we know), regularly catches up with his fellow MAFS 2023 grooms, and is seemingly head over heels with steady girlfriend Gina, whom he regularly posts sweet tributes to on his Instagram.

During an explosive interview with 9Honey, Duncan and Evelyn confirmed their relationship with a MAFS ‘honesty box’ mock challenge. Mere months later, Duncan confirmed he and Evelyn had taken the next step in their relationship by moving in together into a swanky new abode in the affluent Sydney suburb of Balmain.

Other than participating in multiple media appearances and interviews with his new love, it seems like Duncan has been busy being a romantic, showering Evelyn with helicopter dates, days out on the water, and most recently a whirlwind holiday around Asia.

There have been numerous questions regarding Melissa’s future on OnlyFans, however, the mum confirmed she has no intention of joining the adult subscription platform. 

“To all my followers, I am so apologetic but no, you will not be seeing me on OnlyFans,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle. 

“Anybody that does that, my hat goes off to them, and hand on heart, you do whatever floats your boat. But for myself personally, you won’t be seeing me on that kind of platform.”

However, Melissa admitted she will be putting some “racy” things out there with some brands, including “tasteful classy lingerie or sportswear.”

Alyssa Barmonde 

After copping huge backlash from her time on MAFS, Alyssa retreated to her home state of Utah in the USA to be with her family for a few months and ride out the storm. 

She’s since spilled some serious tea about how producers used tricky editing to manipulate her and Duncan’s storyline and take scenes out of context but for the most part, seems to be trying to put her time on the show behind her. 

And in a huge personal update, Alyssa confirmed on a podcast that the was bisexual, something she wished to discuss whilst on MAFS. 

“When I told production that I wanted to have that confession [about the affair], their eyes lit up like, “bing, bing, bing, this is gold,” she told the Lara on Eyre podcast. 

“I almost wanted to tell them that I was bisexual, which I have kind of come to terms with a little bit. But they were kind of life, “Oh, you know, that’s not interesting enough. We need something a little bit more juicier.’ So they kind of led me down that path.”

Alyssa is also presumably ready to date again after being spotted on Tinder and being linked to The Bachelorette star Nick Chamberlain, who fans may remember making an appearance on Elly Miles’ season in 2020.

Lyndall Grace

From what it seems, Lyndall is living her best life post-MAFS!

Whilst her time on the show wasn’t all sunshine and roses, she’s walked away with some lasting friendships (especially her Perth BFF Bronte). 

She’s currently working as an influencer it seems, sharing happy snaps of her makeup looks, hair transformations, and outfit inspo with her followers. 

And in celebration of Pride month, Lyndall also revealed that she was bisexual!

In November 2023, the former reality television bride confirmed that she was in a new relationship with Jordan Litchfield. Prior to that, she had confessed in September that she had briefly hooked up with MAFS co-star Josh White before things fizzled out due to their 13-year age gap. 

“It was after the reunion, we’d just finished filming and I think there was 11 or 12 of us that went out for dinner after publicity. We just went to a club and got really drunk, and there was a nice man who showed me some affection for the first time in months and I got a little carried away,” she later confessed to the Back to Reality podcast.

Ollie Skelton & Tahnee Cook

Fan favourites Ollie and Tahnee have kept themselves busy since MAFS wrapped up. Ollie launched his very own podcast – Tosser Pod – as well as posting hilarious videos to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. 

Meanwhile, Tahnee launched her own podcast titled, Chuffed. 

Sadly in late 2023, the pair confirmed the sad news that they had ended their relationship, with Ollie moving out of the home he and Tahnee had shared together in Sydney.

“The truth of it is that we fell out of love. I think Tahnee has some great qualities and I have so much respect for her and I still have love for Tahnee but at our core we are just really, really different,” Ollie later confessed on his podcast.

As for the other contestants, while they are loving the popularity that comes from a show such as MAFS they all seem to be living their best (or worst) lives.
