The Success Stories of MAFS Australia 2025 and Beyond
While the US franchise struggles with its success rate, the Australian version of the show often delivers more shocking drama and, occasionally, heartwarming long-term relationships. The 2025 season has already provided some concrete success stories.
MAFS Australia 2025: Who Is Still Standing?
The latest season of Married At First Sight Australia has concluded its Final Vows, and a few couples have managed to make their love last into the new year.
- Ellie and Jonathan: Status: STILL TOGETHER. This couple is a genuine success story from the 2025 season, having recently celebrated their one-year anniversary on November 10, 2024.
- Jade and Ridge: Status: STILL TOGETHER. Jade and Ridge are another couple from the 2025 cast who have maintained their relationship post-show.
- Lauren & Eliot, Carina & Paul, Katie & Tim, Jamie and Dave: Status: UNKNOWN/LIKELY SEPARATED. While mentioned as part of the 2025 cast, reports suggest that most couples from the season have already called it quits, though specific details on each pair are limited.
However, the season wasn't without its own drama. One former bride from a previous MAFS Australia season made headlines after revealing she lost her job as a lawyer due to her negative "edit" on the show, highlighting the severe professional consequences of reality TV fame.
The Enduring Legacy: Long-Term MAFS Success Couples
To provide topical authority, it's important to remember the few couples who have truly stood the test of time. These couples are the gold standard that every new cast member hopes to emulate, proving that the MAFS experiment can, in fact, lead to a lifelong partnership.
- Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner (Season 1): The original success story. They remain married and have become MAFS veterans, frequently discussing their journey.
- Ashley Petta and Anthony D'Amico (Season 5): Still married and have built a family together, often cited as one of the most stable couples from the franchise.
- Jephte Pierre and Shawniece Jackson (Season 6): Despite their ups and downs, this couple is still married and a prominent part of the MAFS alumni community.
These long-term pairs provide a vital counter-narrative to the constant cycle of breakups and divorces, reinforcing the core premise of the show.
What's Next for Married at First Sight?
The franchise shows no signs of slowing down, with new seasons and format changes on the horizon, keeping the MAFS community engaged and the topical authority high.
The US Franchise Moves to Peacock for Season 19

Fans are eagerly awaiting the new cast and the inevitable drama they will bring.
The Continued Search for Love
The latest updates confirm that while the success rate is low, the dream of finding love on Married at First Sight is still alive for a select few.
