Reality TV was only the beginning…
Contestants on Married at First Sight take part in the show months in advance, but it’s not always an indication of where they are now.
Some are lucky enough to walk away finding the love of their life, and others leave without it, but instead with a deeper understanding of themselves.
But there’s also another part to being on one of Australia’s most-watched reality shows – exposure.
We all know the drill by now 12 seasons in – brides and grooms make the most of their time on the show, to establish lucrative careers.

Even though season 12 is over, it seems some are already embracing their newfound fame!
Find out below about all of the MAFS cast members, and what they are up to now.

Tony was rushed into emergency surgery in Wollongong on April 24 after he suffered a heart attack.
“Last week I had a bit of a scare and I just wanted to say a big thank you to the people of Wollongong Hospital, the people in the cardiac division, they’ve been absolutely amazing,” Tony said in a post. His fellow co-star Ryan Donnelly also paid him a visit.
Prior to this, Ryan hinted on Instagram that Tony was busy making merchandise.
In the photo posted in March, his shirt says “Tony Time”, which became his catchphrase when he wanted alone time in his marriage with Morena.

While she has been doing this, she also told SkyNews.com.au that she did not return to her job as a lawyer since the show aired in January, because of the mental toll it took on her.
“I essentially left my job after I tried to go back to work because I was mentally distressed and couldn’t work,” she said.
“I’ve been unable to continue my career… I’ve been left to fend on my own, basically.”

When asked by Yahoo Lifestyle if she would appear on the English version of the show, if she was asked.
“Of course I f**king would! Why not?” she said. “I’ve obviously not been able to find myself an Australian lad, so I may as well go back to my home roots and try and find a Brit. Sign me up!
“I would love to do it. I’d do it in a heartbeat.”
