We’re still recovering from the 2023 season, but a number of Married at First Sight Australia 2024 participants have already been leaked from the new cast.
With 10 seasons under its belt, fans are expecting a bit of a shake-up to keep them intrigued next season.
As such, it’s been revealed that the 2024 experiment will see the return of a same-sex couple, as well as a “freshening up” of “repetitive” storylines.

However, none of this is possible without some big personalities to make MAFS the absolute trainwreck we know and love it to be.
So, who will appear on Married at First Sight Australia 2024?
Maddy Jevic
According to reports, Home and Away star Maddy Jevic will be entering the marriage experiment as an intruder.
Whilst best known for playing Amber Simmons on the iconic soap, she’s also appeared in Wentworth, Upper Middle Bogan and Offspring.
However, rumours have been swirling that cast members were a lil’ suss about the intruder bride.
An insider dished that people were convinced she was a producer plant after she told her co-stars she was a psychic rather than an actress. Interesting…
Jade Pywell
Also joining the show as an intruder is Gold Coast-based model Jade Pywell, who’s set to marry seasoned reality star Ridge Barredo.
And it seems she’s already in with the reality crowd, as according to reports, she was snapped at The Candy Shop Mansion event on January 26, which was also attended by MAFS 2022‘s Tamara Djordjevic and Samantha Moitzi.
An insider told an outlet that the mother-of-one is a “very fun, down to earth kinda girl who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty.”
It’s also been said that she’ll be the “next Jessika Power“ so we know she’ll bring the heat!
Ash Galanti
As reported by Yahoo! Lifestyle, Melbourne-based groom Ash Galanti is another intruder set to rock the marriage experiment.
According to his LinkedIn profile, the upcoming reality star is a customer development manager “specialising in the sales of bird control works”.
He’s set to marry actress Maddy Jevic. We’ve peeped some leaked snaps of the pair saying “I Do” and we gotta say, they look like a HOT couple!
Mike Felix
According to an outlet, Mike Felix will also be joining the upcoming season of the marriage experiment.
Mike was part of the show’s original same-sex couple before his groom Simon Flocco quit at the last minute.
The Tesla sales advisor will be appearing as one of the six intruders this season.
Sources close to Mike say he’s on the “hunt for The One” after being “scared” of dating apps. He’s also been described as “funny” and “charming”, and we have a feeling we’ll love him!
Ridge Barredo
First Dates 2020 star Ridge Barredo was reportedly cast by MAFS producers to “save” the show after numerous cast members QUIT during filming.
The professional weightlifter has a pretty impressive résumé having competed in the Commonwealth Games in 2018 and 2022.
According to his Instagram, which is currently set to private, he also offers online coaching.
Tim Smith
Joining the lineup of MAFS 2024 grooms is Melbourne real estate agent Tim Smith.
According to those close to him, he’s in desperate need of the experts’ help! Aren’t they all?!
Simon Flocco
Simon Flocco arrives on Married at First Sight as a successful entrepreneur and director of dessert store, 50sixone.
Here’s to hoping the Adelaide-based groom is as sweet as his business!
Tristan Black
According to those who know Tristan Black, the Sydney-based venue manager is “very down to earth” and “as genuine as they come”.
Hmm, in our experience, “genuine” and MAFS don’t mix too well!
Jonathan ‘Jono’ McCullough
According to outlets, Jonathan “Jono” McCullough has been single for yearrrrrrs. As such, he’s hoping to find The One on Married at First Sight (good luck!).
The Brisbane-based TV groom worked as a financial advisor for over a decade, before making the switch to opening his own health food store.
Lucinda Light
Move over Jesse Burford, there’s a new wedding celebrant hoping to find love on MAFS!
NSW’s Lucinda Light has been spotted on set for the 11th season, and with a background in theatrical arts, she’s sure to bring the drama!
A trailer shared at the annual Nine Upfronts event revealed Lucinda is looking for “somebody who is quite intelligent”.
“I do not want a bogan. If it’s the right person it would have to be so on point that we would be making love with existence.” Hear, hear!
Richard Sauerman
As reported by Yahoo! Lifestyle, Richard Sauerman, the show’s “oldest-ever groom” was spotted filming for the upcoming season.
A source told the outlet that producers were casting older stars as they didn’t want “another cast full of young wannabe influencers” and we’re diggin’ the diversity!
The new groom is a motivational speaker and advertising expert known as “The Brand Guy“.
He’s also published a book called Are You Living Your Résumé or Your Eulogy?.
Andrea Thompson
According to reports, Brisbane-based wedding photographer Andrea Thompson will be tying the knot with the show’s oldest-ever groom in the upcoming season.
In her website bio, the bride-to-be describes herself as a “super happy creative person” and a dog lover, so it sounds like she’ll be wholesome AF!
She’s also part of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers and boasts over 25 years of experience in the industry. Impressive, huh?
Eden Harper
Recruitment consultant Eden Harper is on lock for the upcoming season of Married at First Sight.
The Gold Coast bombshell is also considered a micro-influencer, boasting an impressive 11,800 followers on Instagram.
Outlets have reported she was approached to apply for the show via social media and eventually agreed after a number of weeks of convincing.
Jack Dunkley
Queensland personal trainer Jack Dunkley has been identified as a participant in the upcoming MAFS season.
Tori Adams
Melbourne-based Tori Adams is just one of several brides hoping to find love on Married at First Sight 2024.
She currently works as a business development manager and describes herself as a “tenacious” and “honest individual”, per her LinkedIn.
Collins Christian
It’s been revealed that Perth local Collins Christian has been trying to get on MAFS for several years, and what a way to prove you’re genuine, eh?!
Tim Calwell
Gold Coast local Tim Calwell is an e-commerce guru who runs “scalable digital marketing campaigns”, according to his Twitter account.
He’s currently the Head of Performance at Gleamin, a skincare and wellness brand.
Sara Mesa
Sara Mesa is a Sydney-based nutritionist and personal trainer with over 5,800 Instagram followers already.
Cassandra Allen
Not too much is known about Cassandra Allen at the time of writing. However, it’s safe to say this influencer is on the right track to a verified blue tick!
The Gold Coast beauty already has over 10,000 Instagram followers. And, with the way MAFS goes, we can only expect that number to SOAR when she hits the small screen.
Jayden Eynaud
As if MAFS 2022‘s Mitch Eynaud wasn’t enough, producers have reportedly enlisted his brother Jayden to walk down the aisle in 2024.
According to the Daily Mail, the professional kickboxer is pretty stoked about taking on the marriage experiment. And apparently, he’s already filmed his backstory at his local gym on the Gold Coast.
Sadly, this means Mitch will probably return to our screens for his bro’s wedding. But as the old saying goes: It is what it is!
Lauren Dunn
Outlets have reported that former AFL WAG Lauren Dunn is donning a white dress as part of the new season.
The bride-to-be — who recently dated Essendon AFL player Ryan Crowley — owns her own PR and marketing consultancy called LCD Consulting.
She also runs an Instagram account called “So Cooked”, where she shares her foodie adventures.
Her new husband is a lucky guy!
Ben Walters
So Dramatic! exclusively revealed that 40-year-old Ben Walters was in talks with producers after being dumped from the next season of The Bachelors.
Then, he was spotted filming for MAFS 2024 in July, confirming his involvement in the 11th season.
The Newcastle-based tour director is reportedly “desperate for his 15 mins of fame”, and duh — he’s already friends with past MAFS bride Lizzie Sobinoff!
