Married at First Sight is all about love, but from what we have seen unfold, it can also manifest in other ways, with many cast members becoming friends after their time on the show together.
The experiment is an intense environment with challenges, confrontational dinner parties, and Commitment Ceremonies.
All of this can bring people closer together, or divide them to the point of feuding.
While contestants are meant to keep their lips sealed when the show is airing, it hasn’t stopped contestants from going rogue on social media, or being photographed together.
Now that it’s finished airing, they can come and go as they please!
There can be a lot of drama and news to keep up with, so we’ve kept tabs on which MAFS contestants are still friends. See more below.
Who is still friends from MAFS 2025?
The brides
The sisterhood seems to be going strong this season! Awhina, Katie, Ashleigh, Rhi, Carina, Jamie, and Beth were all spotted getting together on Valentine’s Day in Melbourne.
Although Jamie and Carina were seen together, it seems their friendship did not recover after Lauren Hall’s behaviour at the couple’s retreat, despite making up.
“Carina, I’m sure if there’s like a pap photo or something, she might be there, or a girl’s reunion, she might be there. But you know, she’s not someone who reaches out or checks in or anything like that,” Jamie told Pedestrian TV in March.
Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle that same month, Jamie also revealed that Carina did not contact her after the dinner party episode aired.
“She’s proved the type of friend she is, so I don’t need that,” she told the publication, also confirming that she was still friends with Rhi.
On the subject of Lauren, she has previously revealed that she doesn’t keep in contact with any of the other brides and grooms except for Jacqui and Clint – who started dating after meeting on the show.
After the reunion aired, she told Today she was also friends with Eliot. “Look, we actually are good friends and we were really good friends on the show and he’s so funny!”
While the women might have been celebrating Galentine’s Day as a group, other posts suggest Jamie, Beth, and Awhina have an especially close bond after being seen catching up with Rhi for her birthday.
They’ve also posted social content together. “No husband but I got 2 wives 💕,” Awhina posted after the reunion aired.
Awhina was also photographed with Rhi in Perth and Beth in Sydney. She seems to have a close bond with Billy too!
Regarding the other brides, MAFS Funny podcast host Josh Fox has given some interesting intel.
He revealed that the other brides were not part of the above-mentioned “core” group. Veronica is reportedly friends with just Carina and Morena. Morena reportedly only speaks to some of the women, including Veronica, who she said she was “proud” to be her friend.
Sierah has also been seen out with Katie.
Grooms
Dave and Billy struck up a firm friendship during the experiment and haven’t been shy in sharing their bromance online!
They created a joint TikTok account, posting their behind-the-scenes shenanigans.
Since the reunion aired, they told 9 Entertainment that they plan to move in and travel together.
“And this is one thing that I’m really, genuinely so happy about. OK, I didn’t come out with a partner but I have come out with a best friend and I’m so grateful for that, I feel like I’ve won,” Billy said.
Beyond their online antics, they are also close with Jeff.
In the same video compilation with 9 Entertainment, Jeff said he was closest with Adrian, Billy, Dave, and Teejay, but everyone got along.
“We’re all a big tight group, really,” he said.
When it comes to the other grooms, Adrian and Eliot are also friends.
On TikTok, Eliot posted a video with Adrian congratulating him on reaching 100,000 followers. It seems not on the best terms with Billy, because a pretend phone call came up in the video on Eliot’s phone with his face, and he said it was nobody important. Yikes!
Eliot has also been spotted catching up with Carina and hanging out with Tony, but the reasons have not been confirmed.
The groom also told 9 Entertainment that he considered Jamie as a close friend.
With Adrian, he was seen reuniting with Morena at a fashion show, along with Teejay in March.
Tony and Ryan are also on great terms and were seen together at a boat party that same month.
In a post to his personal Instagram account on April 3, the self-proclaimed “warrior” said he was thankful he met Tony on the show.
“I remember standing on the balcony at the first gathering of all the grooms. We became good mates just chilling there, talking about where we grew up. How huge this all was and are we actually crazy 😂,” he wrote.
“Nothing’s changed since then, have MAFSto thank for that 🤝🖤.”
Ryan said Tony might have made some merchandise, because he was wearing a “Tony Time” shirt in the carousel of images. This became a point of contention in his marriage to Morena, when he would take time away from his wife in Wollongong.
Tony said all of the grooms got along, and he was closest to Adrian, Eliot and Paul.
