Married at First Sight might have only just begun, but there is a feud that is already rocking the cast.
New Idea exclusively revealed that Gia Fleur and Bec Zacharia will butt heads during the 2026 series in explosive dinner party scenes.
Following their tense exchanges and remarks about one another at the hen’s night, Gia alleged to Chattr that her comments about Bec were in response to her calling her a “trashy s***”.
However, the Adelaide local has denied this.
“I actually rang production after I [saw Gia’s claims], and I said, guys, I need to know if [there is footage of me saying this], because if [it exists], she deserves an apology from me,” Bec told Chattr.
She said that the production crew assured her that it was not said, and said such a statement would have made “reality TV gold”.
“I think it would be a bit premature to make that assumption [about] someone before even getting to know them,” she continued.
Initially, Gia told the publication that Bec said it to her face.
“That was at the beginning of the evening, before I’d said anything, but that wasn’t shown, so I get why people are thinking I’m horrible, but a lot of things are out of context, and not the whole evening was shown,” the Victorian, who is matched with Scott McCristal alleged.
Previously, Gia, 35, told The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick that she “hates” the MAFS bride.
“Bec and I have a rivalry across the whole season,” she explained. “I would compare it to Cyrell [Paule] and Jess [Power] from a couple of seasons ago.”
Gia also teased that she will be at the centre of many dinner party clashes, as there looks to be much more drama to come.
“I feel like every year they say this is the biggest season ever,” she said.
“I’m a MAFS fan, and I can say, this is the biggest season they’ve ever had. 100%. I am at the centre of every single dinner party.”
She also told the Daily Mail that they’re “enemies”.
In a separate interview, Bec also told the Daily Mail that they are “fundamentally very different people”, and she did not like Gia’s attitude.
“Rachel was opening up on the couch, telling her story, and I could see eye rolling,” she claimed. “It didn’t sit well with me. It costs nothing to be kind.”
She continued to say that she refused to engage in any conversations with the other brides, and also rejected claims that she judged her past affiliation with Playboy.
The Adelaide local said it was a matter of their personalities clashing, and “nothing more”.
“She said I stared at her with evil eyes, but I was reacting to what I was receiving,” she said.
What happened between Bec and Gia at the MAFS hen’s night?
Things had already started to heat up between the pair at the hen’s party, as they didn’t appear to get along upon their first meeting.
Speaking to the camera, Bec criticised Gia for her attitude towards the other brides, adding, “She’s hot though, I’ll give her that, too bad about the personality.”
While Gia had equally scathing remarks for Bec, saying, “Weird b***h. She was looking at me in a way like, I hate this b***h, and I was giving it back, so I don’t really care.”
She also called Bec a “five out of 10”, but told the Daily Mail that her remark was taken out of context.
“That wasn’t about how she looks,” she claimed.
“It was about her attitude, her demeanour and the way she was looking at me. It felt very judgmental.”
New Idea revealed that viewers will be left divided by the fallout between Gia and Bec this series.
“Gia and Bec’s dynamic becomes the defining feud,” the insider said. “People will be picking sides the way they did with Dom and Olivia.”
It is shaping up to be one of the most explosive series yet, with the friendship fallouts at the centre of the drama.
“There are alliances formed early on,” our source explained. “And when things go wrong, those friendships become weapons.”
“It’s not just about who stays together… It’s about who turns on who,” they add.
