Filming for Married At First Sight season 13 is underway—and it’s already clear which couples are thriving and which ones are having second thoughts about matrimony.
Production for the popular reality series kicked off two weeks ago, with next year’s much-anticipated TV husbands and wives tying the knot in locations across Sydney.
Now, Daily Mail can reveal the cast of next year’s series have all been married, gone on their honeymoons, and already moved in together.
On Wednesday, the loved-up hopefuls were spotted checking into One Global Resorts Green Square in Sydney.
Among them, however, there seems to be one couple already facing trouble in paradise.
Despite living together for just one week, it looks like Melissa Akbay and Melbourne farmer Luke Fourniotis are not off to a great start, after the Canberra bride was spotted spending time alone while her groom ran errands solo.
Melissa looked downcast as she took to the streets of Sydney listening to music on a pair of headphones and chomping on a KitKat bar
She kept it casual in a pair of jeans and a white tee, taking a moment to sit on a bench as she frowned at her phone, clearly deep in thought
Her TV husband Luke seemed to be in a better head-space while wearing a gym ensemble, a giant smile on his face and a flower pushed behind his ear
He could be seen stretching before going on a jog around the city

While Melissa and Luke may have had a rocky start, the same can’t be said for Rebecca Zukowski and Steve Powell, who were all smiles as they popped out for some groceries.
The Melbourne leasing manager wore a chic brown coat over a pair of jeans, while her partner was wrapped up in a knitted sweater and scarf.

Influencer nurse Alissa Fay and David Momoh also looked chipper as they were pictured holding hands and walking around the city.

As for lovebirds Gia Fleur and her husband Scott McCristal, the couple were all over each other as they were seen picking up groceries from Woolworths.
Gia, who has already been dubbed ‘the wildest bride in MAFS history’ by crew members, showed off her curvy figure in a skin-tight, bright pink top and shorts combo, with a large pair of sunnies, some sneakers and a white Gucci bag.
Her hubby wore a North Face puffer and shorts, and was pictured putting a reassuring arm around his wife as they entered the supermarket.
Leaving Woolies, Scott pushed a trolley full of goods while Gia carried a box of Moscato wine—a woman after our own hearts.
Danny Hewitt and Rebecca Zacharia also looked strong, with the Adelaide socialite looking straight out of a fashion magazine as she wore a pair of leopard print pumps and a white cardigan.
She carried a stylish bouquet of roses while her bearded beau carried the groceries, rocking a grey knitted sweater over a pair of jeans.
Motivational speaker Filip Gregov and his wife Stella were also seen looking loved up, holding hands as they stepped out for a casual stroll in their gym clothes.

The duo are tipped to be big characters this season thanks to their fiery personalities and on-screen banter.
While the show’s signature drama is usually saved for the dinner parties and commitment ceremonies, this year’s brides and grooms are wasting no time.
An insider teased filming has already produced ‘some of the strongest matches we’ve seen in years’—along with a few early red flags.
‘There are couples with instant chemistry, and others who are clearly mismatched from the start. The tension is building—and we’re only in the early stages.’
Producers are said to be particularly proud of this year’s mix of personalities—which includes creatives, professionals, tradies, and even a few wildcard entries that are sure to get viewers talking.
‘It’s a really bold cast. There’s a lot of diversity in age, culture, and life experience,’ one source said.
‘You’ve got a couple of big online personalities, a groom who’s been in the headlines before, and some really grounded people just looking for love.’
