Married At First Sight Australia 2026 has shocked fans with its explosive drama, with tense rows making for some jaw-dropping dinner parties.
If you think you have what it takes to survive the experiment, applications for the show’s 14th season have already opened!
There will be a major change in store as expert Mel Schilling has quit the Channel Nine show, with no news yet about who will replace her on the couch with John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla.
Though it has a reputation for its drama, MAFS could lead to a happily ever after as some couples have formed lasting romances on the show.
It remains to be seen if any of the 2026 cast will be so lucky, with a major feud between Bec and Gia so far overshadowing the matches.

Why has Mel Schilling quit MAFS?
Mel is leaving MAFS Australia after the 2026 series, though she will still appear on the UK iteration of the dating show.
She has stepped down after 10 years to focus on her husband, Gareth Brisbane, and their daughter, Maddie, with whom she lives in London.
Mel also revealed that she wants to prioritise her health after battling colon cancer, from which she is now in remission.
“After 12 extraordinary seasons, I have made the heartfelt decision to step away from my role as an expert on Married at First Sight Australia,” she shared on February 17.
“This hasn’t been a choice I’ve made lightly. In recent years, my health challenges and living in the UK, spending up to three months a year away from my family is no longer sustainable.”
“It has become clear that I must make a change that puts my family, health, and time at the very centre of my life.”
