Once described as ‘inseparable’, Married At First Sight bride Carina Mirabile and influencer-turned-Big Brother star Holly Young have now become sworn enemies.
And insiders say things have become so nasty that a reunion is ‘never happening’.
In a drama worthy of its own reality show, Daily Mail can reveal the pair no longer speak, follow each other on Instagram, or even acknowledge their once-tight bond that spanned more than 15 years.
‘It’s not a little tiff. Holly f**ked Carina over hard,’ said a source with knowledge of the rift. ‘What happened between them is something Carina will never forgive.’
The pair first met 16 years ago on a high school soccer trip to China and quickly became best friends.
Years of adventure followed that saw them travel the world, live together, and share in the sort of glamorous coastal lifestyle most aspiring influencers could only dream of.

They holidayed on a private jet to the Bahamas, flat-shared in America and London, and even partied at Coachella in 2022.
As recently as a few months ago, their chummy Instagram posts suggested they were still very much BFFs – but behind the scenes, tensions were quietly simmering.
According to my source, the final straw came earlier this year when Holly abruptly moved out of their shared Bondi apartment after an argument.
‘Holly walked out and didn’t look back,’ the insider said.
‘Carina was blindsided and furious. After everything they shared, it felt like a betrayal.
‘She was rushing to find another roommate after it all went down, and now I think she’s living somewhere else.’
Sources in Carina’s camp now say she has no interest in repairing the friendship.
‘She doesn’t want anything to do with her anymore,’ one said.

Holly has certainly been a divisive housemate on Big Brother, making headlines for her romantic past, celebrity-adjacent status, and comments about ‘pretty privilege’
In the Bondi bubble occupied by young media professionals and small-time influencers, the pair’s rift has already caught plenty of attention.
Daily Mail understands there was even talk of bringing Carina into the Big Brother house so she could hash out her feud with Holly – but those plans were scrapped because Ten ‘didn’t want any recognisable personalities this year’ and Carina had famously been on MAFS.
With the pair continuing to move in similar eastern suburbs circles, friends say they are keeping their distance – and expect things to be icy should they cross paths at events.
‘Everyone knows they don’t speak,’ one insider laughed.
‘This friendship is done. There’s no coming back from this.’
It comes as both women continue to grow their profiles – Carina riding the wave of MAFS fame, while Holly makes her Big Brother debut this year.

A former model who has lived in London, New York and Sydney, Holly boasts a star-studded dating history and sizeable online following – all of which have led critics to question whether she’s an everyday ‘housemate’ or a ready-made reality star.
Last year, she dated prominent eastern suburbs real estate agent and star of Amazon Prime series Luxe Listings Sydney Gavin Rubinstein.
The pair went public with their romance in August 2024 with a string of loved-up holiday snaps, before quietly calling it quits just months later.
At the time, sources close to the couple said the relationship ended after an ‘intense overseas trip’ that exposed cracks behind the glitz and glamour.
‘Things got complicated when they started travelling together,’ one insider revealed.
‘It was fast-paced from the beginning, but they were just in different places in life.’
Following their split, Holly briefly dated entrepreneur Richie Harkham – a close friend of Gavin’s – after the pair were spotted spending Christmas together at his family’s Hunter Valley winery.
Gavin, who was Ray White’s No. 1 seller before starting his own luxury real estate agency, The Rubinstein Group, later rang in the new year in New York – without Holly.
The pint-sized realtor has since moved on with Made In Chelsea star Ruby Adler.
Years before her dalliance with Gavin, Perth-born Holly made headlines when she was pictured with the fastest man on earth, Usain Bolt, in Munich in 2017.
