Married at First Sight Australia 2024 and 2025 cast members form feuds and alliances - and you'll never guess who's best friends and who are foes

MAFS Aus has finished for this year, but in many ways the drama has only just begun - with some cast members making it very clear who they do and do not like among their cast mates. Let’s just say, it’s getting ugly.

The public spats don’t just involved MAFS 2025 cast either, their 2024 stars are also getting involved and picking their friends and foes. You’ll never guess who’s best friends and who are foes. . .

One person who is at the centre of both sides is controversial 2025 groom Adrian Araouzou, who recently took to his Instagram Stories to claim he was “better than the experts” - Alessandra Rampolla, John Aiken and Mel Schilling.

Now, he’s returned to his Instagram Stories once again to take a swipe at a cast member from the MAFS universe - 2024 bride Lauren Dunn. He has an issue - unsurprisingly - with a video she posted on her TikTok page on Saturday April 26, which showed her with his ex-wife Awhina Rutene and fellow 2025 groom Billy Belcher with the caption “POV (Point of View): When all of Australia hates your exes”. It’s fair to say that Jono McCullough, who Lauren was paired with, and Sierah Swepstone, who Billy was paired with, alongside Adrian did not win any favour with MAFS viewers because of the way their behaviour during the experiment.

Jono was accused of cheating with fellow bride Ellie Dix, in what was one of the show’s most shocking cheating scandals - and the pair are still together today. Sierah and Adrian were also accused of being unfaithful to their spouses and starting at least a flirtation together.

The video received a comment from a woman called Robyn McKinney, who questioned whether the video amounted to “bullying” - something which the MAFS partipants are actually banned from doing in their contract. “Imagine how they feel seeing this, no matter how much you dislike them. Just saying,” she added. Lauren clearly didn’t appreciate the comment. “It’s a social media trend, it’s a joke. Calm down you nutter,” she wrote alongside a laughing face emoji.

Jumping to Robyn’s defence on his Instagram, Adrian blasted Lauren for “publicly shaming” her. He claimed Lauren had only hit back at her because she “hates” him. “She [Lauren] is trying to project hate and negativity towards this woman when she’s done nothing wrong,” he said.

On her Instagram Stories, Lauren explained why she “called out” the woman, claiming she had “trolled” her before. “That comment was really the least of it, it was just the final straw,” she added. She also warned anyone else who “continuously trolled” her that she would call them out too.

Awhina and Billy haven’t commented on the situation, but we already know there’s no love lost between Awhina and her ex-husband. When asked by a fan earlier this week on her Instagram page if she was still in touch with Adrian she replied: “No, and I’m glad that chapter’s closed.” On his TikTok page, meanwhile, when a fan commented to ask if he missed Awhina he replied “no!”

But, it seems Adrian does appear to have a friend from the 2024 cast - bride Eden Harper, who was matched with Jayden Eynaud - but the marriage didn’t work. She recently appeared in a live Instagram video with the MAFS groom and fellow 2025 co-star Eliot Donovan. She also posted a “Get Ready With Me” video on her TikTok page, which was narrated by Adrian and Eliot, seemingly confirming their friendship.

According to a So Dramatic! podcast, hosted by Megan Pustetto, uploaded on Tuesday, (May 13), Eden is dating Adrian’s identical twin brother James. She has, however, denied she is dating him and said the pair are only friends.

Eden does follow Adrian on Instagram, but she doesn’t follow Awhina, Lauren or Billy so that could be telling.
