Several Married at First Sight Australia 2023 participants have returned to their pre-show jobs after failing to make it big as influencers.
Who woulda thought influencer lyfe ain’t all it cracked up to be?!
Past seasons of the marriage experiment have produced some mega stars (as far as reality TV is concerned) with successful podcasts, OnlyFans pages and subsequent TV stints.
However, according to Yahoo! Lifestyle, the 10th season of MAFS hasn’t fared as well, with a source dishing that their social media followings and engagement rates plummeting since the series wrapped.
“The cast this year has produced a couple of standout stars but mostly the public seem over the reality TV-to-influencer route and haven’t engaged as much,” they said.
“The market is saturated. No one is really doing anything different anymore.” We mean, how many MAFS star podcasts can there be?!
The insider continued: “And with everyone feeling the cost of living crisis – the last thing people want to see spammed on their newsfeed is the Married At First Sight cast flaunting their lifestyle or bragging about how much they’re making.”
And TBH, we get it!
What is the Married at First Sight Australia 2023 cast doing now?
Yahoo! Lifestyle reported that Sandy Jawanda is back working as a dental hygienist, and Tayla Winter has returned to her nursing gig.
Meanwhile, Caitlin McConville is thriving in her role at Melly’s Beauty Parlour, which her co-star Melinda Willis owns.
Some participants still live a bit of the glam life, with Bronte Schofield revealing she earned over $100,000 in her first week of joining OnlyFans. However, as her Instagram continues to be disabled by trolls, it’s unclear whether she can keep up that success without being able to promote her page.
Ollie Skelton, Tahnee Cook and Harrison Boon have launched podcasts to varying amounts of acclaim.
And, on the most successful end of the spectrum, feuding brides Melinda and Evelyn Ellis are nabbing brand deals left, right and centre.
It’s hard work being a reality star, hey?!
