MAFS 2025: Meet season 12’s breakout stars who bring bombshell secrets, explosive confrontations and rule-breaking antics to reality TV megahit

Married at First Sight fans, get ready: Next year’s Brides will bring unparalleled drama, shocking revelations, and enough scandal to keep viewers talking long after each episode.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal that Jamie Marinos, Rhi Disljenkovic and Awhina Rutene have already emerged as major players in MAFS 2025.

And with bombs dropping left and right, they’re set to make this season one of the most unforgettable yet.

Jamie is one girlfriend fans won’t soon forget.

Known for her wild personality and brave confrontations, the tiny bride will leave a lasting impression before she even walks down the aisle.

Sources tell Daily Mail Australia that the Melbourne-based influencer is “the life of the party” and the “drama queen.”

In one of the season’s most jaw-dropping moments, she confessed during a crash wedding that she had a past fling with groom Teejay Halkias, right in front of his new bride, Beth Kelly.

The casual way Jamie dropped this bombshell surprised everyone in the room, creating instant tension and leaving Beth shocked.

As one guest recalled: ‘The whole room froze. It was as if a grenade had exploded; “Nobody could believe what they were hearing.”

Described by insiders as “loud, funny and probably one of the loudest people you’ll ever meet,” Jamie has no problem breaking the rules and isn’t afraid to step on the toes.

She has already earned the admiration of producers, who praise her for making every episode of must-see television.

‘Jamie’s energy is contagious. “He is definitely the life of the party and keeps everyone – cast and crew – excited,” a production source revealed.

Rhi Disljenkovic may seem more reserved, but don’t be fooled: she’s just as capable of changing things.

In a surprising twist, it was revealed that Rhi and her MAFS partner Jeff Gobbels were far from strangers when they walked down the aisle.

In fact, the two had dated before being “accidentally” paired together by the show’s so-called experts, resulting in one of the most scandalous couples in MAFS history.

This revelation has added a whole new layer to their relationship, and fans are eager to see how they navigate their story.

The unexpected couple has everyone talking, and viewers are curious to see if their past romance will help rekindle old feelings or spark new fireworks.

“Rhi and Jeff’s story is full of twists,” a source joked. “Their story makes them one of the most fascinating couples to watch this season.”

Awhina has been described as a rule-breaker who brings a feisty edge to the season, keeping both her fellow brides and producers on their toes.

The Perth-based mother of one, known for her unfiltered personality and daring antics, has already earned a reputation for pushing boundaries every week.

However, despite her tendency to break the rules, she has earned high praise from producers, who see her as essential to the show’s success.

“The fact that Awhina breaks the rules makes her unpredictable, and that’s exactly what makes her so captivating,” a production source shared.

“He’s bold, fearless, and has no problem taking on anyone who comes his way.”

Awhina’s dynamic with the other girlfriends, particularly Jamie, adds even more tension, and the two often find themselves at the center of the drama.

While her actions may be controversial, producers have consistently credited Awhina for keeping the show exciting and bringing new energy to the series.

“Despite breaking the rules every week, Awhina was often praised for doing the show,” a production source noted.

On the other side of the aisle, the bride and groom are equally prepared to bring their own mix of drama and intrigue to MAFS 2025.

Adrian Araouzou, along with the ‘big three’ of the season (Dave Hand, Jeff Gobbels and Billy Belcher) promise many memorable moments.

‘TikTok’ Dave has taken on the role of keeping the boys in line, often acting as the group’s unofficial leader and providing stability to the male cast.

But don’t expect him to stay out of the drama: Dave’s also not afraid to call out his fellow boyfriends when things get tense.

Meanwhile, Jeff, already making headlines for his complicated past with girlfriend Rhi, is expected to be at the center of some of the season’s most intense storylines.

And fan favorite Billy Belcher, known for his fun-loving personality, is expected to provide light-hearted relief amid all the tension, adding balance to a season already packed with drama.
