MAFS Australia has returned for another season in 2024 with an eclectic lineup of contestants. Meet all the brides and grooms for this series and find the full MAFS Australia cast 2024, below.
Married At First Sight Australia is set to start on E4 at 7.30pm on the 26th February.
This upcoming batch of romantic hopefuls includes a cosplayer, a motivational speaker and a professional kickboxer, what could go wrong?
Australia’s three experts, Alessandra Rampolla, John Aiken and the UK’s own expert, Mel Schilling will return to provide their counsel to these couples as they navigate being married to a complete stranger and attempt to build real relationships from nothing.
