If you’ve recently seen an influx of Instagram posts from this year’s cast of Married At First Sight, no, you’re not going insane. The 2025 brides and grooms finally regained access to their social media accounts on Monday after months of Channel 9 posting on their behalf.

The network typically manages the participants’ online presence while the show airs in both Australia and the UK, meaning that all of their posts and captions have had to be approved before going live. Now that the season has finally concluded for UK viewers, the cast members are back in control.

From Q&As and cheeky photos to cryptic posts teasing a tell-all, the brides and grooms certainly haven’t held back in their first few hours of posting to their newfound followers. In case you don’t want to follow them yourself or simply don’t have the time to search all of their handles, here’s everything the 2025 cast has shared online since logging back into their accounts.

Carina Mirabile – @carinamirabile

Carina Mirabile was one of the first people to regain Instagram access on Monday afternoon and immediately went live with her mother, Carmel, on their way to Fashion Week. She also shared a series of Instagram Stories documenting her trip to Sydney for the event and posted photos of herself modelling in a studio.

Bio: Her bio’s been updated to include her management information, her clothing brand, and her upcoming podcast, ‘This Is Chaos’, with Jacob Muller.

She also did a Q&A from the airport about her relationship with Jeff Gobbels and her appearance, confirming that she gets botox in her forehead and doesn’t have veneers.

Jamie Marinos is yet to upload any new photos on her account, but has taken part in a Q&A talking about her favourite beauty products, why she won’t get a nose job anytime soon, and how she used Shein to buy the majority of her clothes on MAFS.

She refused to answer any questions about her ‘ex-husband’ Dave Thomas Hand as she didn’t want to get involved in any drama, and said they have “moved past it now”. In regards to her rumoured relationship with Eliot Donovan, she said: “I’ve got nothing to tell you, you’re gonna have to wait and see.”

Similar to his co-stars, Eliot Donovan did a Q&A upon logging back into Instagram and answered questions about his dog, tattoos, the spelling of his name, and his portrayal on MAFS. When asked about his rumoured relationship with Jamie, however, Eliot cheekily cut off his video just when he was about to answer.

Interestingly, he and Jamie appear to be staying at the same Airbnb in Sydney for Fashion Week based on their Instagram Stories.

Bio: In addition to including his management details, Eliot has poked fun at his on-screen portrayal and written: “Patronising King”.

Katie Johnston has posted a vlog of herself using a sauna and an ice bath alongside a lengthy caption about her “brand new chapter”.

“For the first time in my life, I’m truly focused on my physical health – not from a place of pressure or perfection, but from self-respect. Growing up, I didn’t have the tools, the culture, or the support to make health a priority… but I do now. And I’m learning, growing, and transforming in real time,” she wrote. “Can’t wait to share more of this journey with you—inside and out.”

Bio: Katie’s bio mentions that she’s on a “self-love journey, navigating the wild human world”. She’s also included links to her new website, YouTube channel, and shop to buy original artwork and herbal tea.

Sierah Swepstone has taken to her Instagram Stories to call out her experience on MAFS, sharing side-by-side photos of herself at the beginning of the experiment and the commitment ceremony she left.

“For me to look the way I did after just five weeks, something had to have happened. Women don’t break themselves down like that,” she wrote. “I was silenced in the media because the truth was a liability. The people who caused me harm have controlled the narrative for long enough. I will speak soon.”

The official MAFS account appears to have unfollowed Sierah on Instagram since she’s regained access, although this might mean that she has blocked them.

Bio: “Too hot to be a victim”
