Married at First Sight Australia 2022 intruder bride Carolina Santos has opened up about her REAL motive for joining Channel Nine’s reality series.

In a candid Instagram Q&A, the 33-year-old – who was disastrously paired with Dion Giannarelli, was asked if she joined the show to find true love – and she didn’t hold back on the truth!

“No, I did not,” Carolina replied. “The main reason for me was a bit of exposure for my business.

Carolina runs a successful designer bag hire business called Designer Bags For Hire.

Despite the guaranteed Insta followers, Carolina admitted she did still hope to find her happily ever after on Married at First Sight.

“You can’t help but fantasise about it and be like, ‘oh you know, how cute would it be to have my very own fairytale on television,” she mused.

“There was hope there because at the end of the day, who wants to be single at 33?” she asked.

“So I did and still do want to find love and want to find my forever person. But in saying that, I did not go on MAFS with the only purpose of finding love. I think that you have to be pretty naïve and pretty silly to go on MAFS with the only purpose of finding love.

During her tea-spilling session, Carolina seemingly forgot to mention her kinda successful relationship with fellow intruder Daniel Holmes – well, successful when it comes to MAFS anyway!

She added, “Because when you look at the success rate from previous seasons, it makes no sense.”

And she’s got a point!
