“I’m not going to pretend that they’re real.”

The Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 cast have been busy answering fan questions since they gained control of their social media accounts back. Jamie Marinos has constantly been asked about her relationship with Eliot Donovan, as well as receiving comments about any cosmetic procedures or plastic surgery she’s had.

She’s been surprisingly open about what she’s had done — including a boob job and filler in her lips — and tells Chattr she prides herself on not “gatekeeping” anything from people in her life. And we’re all part of her life now, having developed a parasocial relationship with her through MAFS.

“I’m just someone [that doesn’t] gatekeep, and I feel like it’s so unauthentic to be like, ‘Yeah, I naturally don’t make lines on my face’. Like, no, just say you’ve got Botox! I mean, clearly I don’t… [but] people just assume,” Jamie says.

“I don’t know what everyone’s issue is with fake lips, like my lips are so vintage. They were done in 2022, but it’s like, people just say, ‘Oh she’s got lips so she’s just so fake and she’s got filler everywhere’.”

Jamie says she hasn’t had filler or Botox anywhere else, and is open and honest about what work she’s had done.

“I had my boobs done years ago, but I’m like, it’s obvious. They don’t move! Like I’m not going to pretend that they’re real,” she spills. “If I do something else, like if I choose to get my nose done, it’ll be bloody obvious,” she adds.

Jamie slams trolls criticising her appearance

With the territory of being a reality TV star comes the influx of trolls in your inbox. Jamie isn’t too bothered by the insults, but she thinks everybody should have agency over their own body and decide what they want to do. Amen!

“I just don’t think people should be criticising people’s appearances period. Like, yes, I am quite natural in the way I approach things, where most of the time I don’t even have makeup on… I’m usually someone who’s really low-key, and I think a lot of people have celebrated the fact that I went bare-skin most of the time,” she explains.

“On the flip side, I don’t want to be torn apart for when I decide to put makeup on, because now I’m ‘looking too fake’,” she says. “I’ve had people that have messaged me like, ‘I love you. You look so pretty, but you look better without your lips’.”

It’s definitely an odd message to send a MAFS star, and Jamie calls it “weird”.

“What do you want me to do? Suck my lips out here, now? Like, even if I decide to dissolve them, I have to walk around thinking Karen_7 thinks I don’t look good right now,” she jokes. “I have done fine when it comes to picking up men with my botched lips and my big beak, and whatever the hell they think is going on, I seem to do fine.”

There can be a bit of a stigma around women getting plastic surgery or talking about their cosmetic procedures, so it’s refreshing to see a reality TV star get so candid about the topic.

Jamie believes that shaming anybody for their choices is unproductive, and isn’t here for it. We love this energy! “If I choose to do [my nose], everyone needs to back off, like I can do whatever I want. I think anyone should be able to do whatever they want,” she declares.

“You get your hair done, you go to the gym, you get your nails done, you put makeup on. I’m not going to shame anyone for wanting to look a certain way.”
