Ankita works for Cricket Australia and has previously covered the Men’s Test Match and Women’s ODI CupCricket Australia.

She was also the Miss India Australia Runner up in 2019 and Miss World Australia State Finalist for Victoria in 2020.

Little is known about Micah but he appears to be a finance broker from Sydney.

Meanwhile, fellow MAFS bride Gia Fleur was pictured on Monday wearing a very racy wedding ensemble as she married reality star Scott McCristal in a romantic beach ceremony.

The bride put on a busty display in a mermaid tail dress, which tightly hugged her figure as she wed the Million Dollar Island alum on Maroubra Beach.

Melbourne-based real estate agent Daniel Hewitt is also set to star on the upcoming season of MAFS.

Hewitt has made a name for himself in the competitive Melbourne market, racking up $9.6 million in sales over the past 12 months, including a jaw-dropping $2.8 million deal for a seven-bedroom home in Chadstone that went under the hammer in June.

Insiders say Daniel, who was born in England and bears a striking resemblance to UFC star Conor McGregor, is no stranger to the finer things in life.

Micah looked dapper in a black tuxedo, black buttoned shirt and matching coloured sneakers

Daily Mail Australia previously revealed the 2026 season almost didn’t make it to air after last-minute cast dropouts forced producers to scramble behind the scenes.

‘They had multiple people pull out and had to move quickly to fill those spots,’ one well-placed source revealed.

But the end result? A bold, diverse cast of professionals, creatives, and big personalities – with producers tipping this to be one of the ‘most explosive seasons yet.’

‘Some couples are hitting it off immediately, others are absolute mismatches – the drama is already building,’ one insider said.

‘Daniel’s definitely one to watch. He’s got that mix of confidence, cheek, and unpredictability – and it’s going to make for great TV.’
