Groom's Betrayal on MAFS 2025

A Married At First Sight groom has found himself at the centre of controversy, leaving both his bride and the show’s producers fuming.

The groom, who Daily Mail Australia has chosen not to name, has already landed himself in hot water with Channel Nine after he was caught secretly messaging former MAFS contestants for advice—behind his partner’s back.

The messages, which were reportedly sent via Instagram, have raised eyebrows on set, with the groom allegedly seeking advice on how to navigate the show’s intense pressures.

But what really set alarm bells ringing was his supposed plan to ‘go rogue,’ a move that could potentially derail the entire season.

According to an insider close to production, ‘he’s been vocal about feeling set up by producers, even though we’re only two weeks into filming, and it’s causing a lot of tension on set.’

The insider revealed that the groom has been difficult to manage, with discussions already underway about possibly removing him from the show.

‘He’s treating his bride terribly,’ the source continued.

‘Their living arrangement has become really uncomfortable, and it’s heartbreaking to see someone not taking the process seriously.’

The insider continued: ‘It’s like he’s more interested in leveraging his fifteen minutes of fame than actually making his marriage work.’

This shocking revelation comes on the heels of another MAFS couple, Katie Johnson and Tim Gromie, who have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

The troubled pair were spotted checking into One Global Resorts Green Square—formerly known as the Skye Suites—separately, fuelling rumours that their marriage is already on the rocks.

In photos taken last week, social enterprise CEO Katie was seen arriving at the resort alone, just hours after attending the first dinner party solo.

Sources on set have hinted that an explosive argument during their honeymoon may have been the final straw for the couple.

‘Katie and Tim were never on the same page,’ a source revealed.

‘Their honeymoon was a disaster, and by the time the first dinner party rolled around, things had gone from bad to worse. They’re barely speaking at this point.’
