In a nutshell, Brent and Tamara’s nuptials were a disaster. From the bride’s acid tongue to the almost laughable #KnifeGate, the first wedding of 2022 left even diehard MAFS fans scratching their heads.

While New Idea hears Brent and Tamara will fight tooth and nail to prove a spark to the show’s three experts, all is not what it seems.
One well-placed insider exclusively tells New Idea that Brent, 33, and Tamara, 29, managed to raise eyebrows between their fellow participants, who suspected the couple were attempting to stay on the show in a bid to boost their profiles.
“Once everyone was able to get to know them better, it was clear they were the sort who crave the spotlight,” dishes a source.
Brent and Tamara were subject to even more criticism from the other brides and grooms when everyone started scoping out each other’s Instagram accounts during the initial weeks of filming.
Fans appear to agree that the pair, in particular Brent, might have ulterior motives for appearing on the reality juggernaut.
Before getting cast on MAFS, the hospitality manager was living the high life in Dubai, where he ran businesses and events.
And a quick sweep of his Instagram account reveals Brent is no stranger to hanging with the rich and famous.
Indeed, late last month a photo of Brent alongside Hollywood actor Will Smith circulated online.
This lead many fans to speculate that he perhaps entered the experiment for a career boost.
“I understand that they need people who know how to deal with the cameras … but do they all need to be fame hungry?!” sneered one viewer.
“I think the reason so many of the participants have industry connections is that they’re the kind of people who will put themselves out there on the show,” mused another.
