Who is MAFS' Lucinda Light?

Lucinda Light has already made her name as one of Married At First Sight Australia’s most eccentric contestants and her kind-hearted spiritual nature has proven to make her a fan favourite on the show.

However, many fans are beginning to question whether or not her personality is a facade, forcing us to wonder, who is Lucinda Light?

It turns out Lucinda Light isn’t her real name but is instead a “stage name” she began using five years ago when she started her professional career pursuing media work and TV presenting gigs.

Lucinda’s government name is Lucinda Reilly but she registered her name Lucinda Light as a brand and business on the Australian Business Register in August 2019.

Lucinda works as a celebrant, event host, and cabaret performer, however, a recently resurfaced LinkedIn post from 2022 revealed that she wanted to further her career…

“I am looking for incredible roles as an MC or TV presenter and would appreciate your support,” she wrote on LinkedIn.

A show source has spoken to Yahoo Lifestyle sharing with the news site that there are whispers within the cast siding with this speculation.

“Lucinda is as quirky and positive as she comes across and great talent, but there were some whispers amongst the cast about her intentions [for doing MAFS] as she was there under a stage name rather than her real name,” the source said.
