Friendships prevail, but some have soured!

Married at First Sight is all about love, but from what we have seen unfold, it can also manifest in other ways, with many cast members becoming friends after their time on the show together.

The experiment is an intense environment with challenges, confrontational dinner parties, and Commitment Ceremonies.

All of this can bring people closer together or divide them to the point of feuding.

While contestants are meant to keep their lips sealed when the show is airing, it hasn’t stopped contestants from going rogue on social media or being photographed together.

Now that it’s finished airing, they can come and go as they please!

There can be a lot of drama and news to keep up with, so we’ve kept tabs on which MAFS contestants are still friends. See more below.

Who is still friends from MAFS 2025?

The sisterhood seems to be going strong this season! Awhina, Katie, Ashleigh, Rhi, Carina, Jamie, and Beth were all spotted getting together on Valentine’s Day in Melbourne.

Since the drama and Lauren Hall’s behaviour at the couple’s retreat, and the following dinner party, Carina and Jamie have strengthened their friendship.

On the subject of Lauren, she has previously revealed that she doesn’t keep in contact with any of the other brides and grooms except for Jacqui and Clint – who started dating after meeting on the show.

While the women celebrated Galentine’s Day as a group, other posts suggest Jamie, Beth, and Awhina have an especially close bond after being seen catching up with Rhi for her birthday.

They’ve also posted social content together. “No husband but I got 2 wives 💕,” Awhina posted after the reunion aired.

Awhina was also photographed with Rhi in Perth and Beth in Sydney. She seems to have a close bond with Billy too!

Regarding the other brides, MAFS Funny podcast host Josh Fox has provided some interesting intel.

At the time, he revealed that the other brides were not part of the above-mentioned “core” group. Veronica was reportedly friends with just Carina and Morena. Morena reportedly only speaks to some of the women, including Veronica, who she said she was “proud” to be her friend.

However, Veronica has since revealed that she does not speak to anyone from MAFS. Taking to Instagram in April, when asked why she did not “associate” with anyone from her season, she said, “Drama disappears when you hang out with smarter and more thoughtful people”. Yikes!

Sierah has also been seen out with Katie.

Now, the grooms.

Dave and Billy struck up a firm friendship during the experiment and haven’t been shy in sharing their bromance online!

They created a joint TikTok account, posting their behind-the-scenes shenanigans.

Since the reunion aired, they told 9 Entertainment they plan to move in and travel together.

“And this is one thing that I’m really, genuinely so happy about. OK, I didn’t come out with a partner but I have come out with a best friend and I’m so grateful for that, I feel like I’ve won,” Billy said.

Beyond their online antics, they are also close with Jeff.

In the same video compilation with 9 Entertainment, Jeff said he was closest with Adrian, Billy, Dave, and Teejay, but everyone got along.

“We’re all a big tight group, really,” he said.

When it comes to the other grooms, Adrian and Eliot are also friends.

Eliot has also been spotted catching up with Carina and hanging out with Tony.

The groom also told 9 Entertainment that he considered Jamie as a close friend, but there have been suggestions that they have a romantic connection.

With Adrian, he was seen reuniting with Morena at a fashion show, along with Teejay in March.

Tony and Ryan are also on great terms and were seen together at a boat party that same month.

In a post to his personal Instagram account on April 3, the self-proclaimed “warrior” said he was thankful he met Tony on the show.

“I remember standing on the balcony at the first gathering of all the grooms. We became good mates just chilling there, talking about where we grew up. How huge this all was and are we actually crazy 😂,” he wrote.”Nothing’s changed since then, have MAFS to thank for that 🤝🖤.”

Ryan said Tony might have made some merchandise, because he was wearing a “Tony Time” shirt in the carousel of images. This became a point of contention in his marriage to Morena, when he would take time away from his wife in Wollongong.

Tony said all of the grooms got along, and he was closest to Adrian, Eliot and Paul.
