Married At First Sight Australia Season 12 Launch Show Live: How To Watch, Weddings, Ex's Reuniting Down The Aisle, Couples Revealed
The experiment gets started with the first of the weddings, with the experts accidently coupling up old flames.
Relationship experts John Aiken and Mel Schilling join forces with sexologist Alessandra Rampolla once again, introducing nine brides and grooms (with latecomers likely) set to say, "I do." Starting tonight with the first of the weddings, this year's line-up of single folk looking to tie the knot include self-confessed lone wolf Eliot who's got a long list of dealbreakers that he's not prepared to compromise on. Looking for a traditional relationship in which he is the provider, let's hope he's coupled up with old-school romantic Lauren and not self-sufficient Sarah, whose turbulent upbringing has helped her to become fiercely independent.
The season's token oldies will likely see 57-year-old DJ and fitness instructor Morena matched with charter captain Tony. Of course, there's also unlucky in love Tim who may very well be waiting at the end of the aisle for Sierah, who's longest relationship was just four months. Who knows though. The couples have yet to be revealed, but it won't be long before we're immersed in the rush of dramatic Dinner Parties and Commitment Ceremonies.
Already rumored to be one of the most dramatic seasons yet from Australia (no easy feat, might I add), it starts off the bat with one bride previously ghosted by her groom before their nuptials. Yikes.
I'll be live blogging and reacting to the launch episode of Married at First Sight Australia, with all the details on how to tune in and watch live below.

While it's all green flags for the bride and groom, Lauren seems to be being upstaged by her sister, who's trying to crack on with the best man. Props to her for making 'always the bridesmaid, never the bride' work for her, I guess?
How will Eliot feel about bride Lauren at first sight...?
Uh oh...Carina has just told one of the producers she knows Paul. Is this the man that ghosted one of our brides in the teaser for the 2025 season?
Carina and Paul are about to say, "I do" and their initial meeting seems incredibly promising. But there are a hell of a lot of weeks to go in this experiment, so I won't speak too soon.
Phew! Our second couple of MAFS AU 2025 is Eliot and Lauren. This woman is literally made for Eliot, so why do I think he's still going to find fault in her? Reckon that long list of dealbreakers might have something to do with it...
The First Couple of Married at First Sight Australia 2025 is...
Frenchmen Paul and Carina!
As we delve into the Stags and the Hens, something tells me Eliot is not going to be paired with his exact match.
Here we go...
Let the dramatic montage ensue. Hard relate to this very bleak outlook on dating today and dating apps. Although, does this mean Married at First Sight is my only option? I'm probably going to pass, but I'll happily watch this bunch of Aussies do it instead!
