He called their couple swap “embarrassing”

preview for Lucinda Dated a Friend’s Ex! MAFS Australia & The Honesty Box

Married At First Sight Australia might be over, but drama from the most recent season still lingers. For those who followed series nine, you’ll remember Adrian Araouzo and Awhina Rutene were initially paired together, as were Billy Belcher and Sierah Swepstone.

However, you’ll also know that neither relationship lasted, and both couples went their separate ways. (Billy felt betrayed when Sierah attended an evening meal with Adrian and fellow MAFS contestant Tony Mojanovski behind his back, while Awhina and Adrian had a commitment ceremony, but broke up before their Final Vows.)

And to ramp up the drama even more, MAFS sleuths will be aware of the dating rumours between Awhina and Billy that have been flying around for months. While we can now report that the pair are official, after claiming they were “just friends” the entire time, Adrian has since entered the chat with a shady response to the relationship.

Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, he said he had “no clue” what Billy and Awhina are doing. But if their relationship is serious, “good luck to them.”

Adrian then said he “hopes it’s legit,” because otherwise it would be “a bit embarrassing to act like a couple just for likes and attention.”

He continued: “I don’t understand all these games certain couples are playing. If you’re with someone and happy, put it out to the world [and] be proud you guys are together. Otherwise, keep it private until it’s official.”

He then followed up by wishing them both “nothing but happiness and a healthy, successful relationship.”

As it stands, Awhina and Billy look super loved up. And from their joint Instagram official post, they seem to be in it for the long haul. On Friday, they shared a carousel of some recent moments, from a sweet mirror selfie to a romantic date night. The pair captioned the post: “I’ll keep this one 🤭.”

Err, cute.
