Get ready for the most dramatic season of Married At First Sight yet! This time, a Perth bride named Carina has been matched with her ex-boyfriend – and we’ve got all the juicy details.
Carina, a 31-year-old digital marketing manager, was looking for love in all the wrong places. Before joining the show, she described her ideal partner as “tall, handsome, European, and educated”.
But little did she know, her perfect match was someone she already knew.
The Shocking Moment Carina Recognized Her Groom
In a sneak peek of the show, Carina is seen walking down the aisle, only to realize that her groom is actually her ex-boyfriend. “I know him. Can you believe that?” she tells a producer.
And the reason for their past breakup? He simply stopped texting her!
Carina Opens Up About the Unexpected Twist
Speaking about the moment on Today Extra, Carina admitted that she was shocked but not entirely surprised, given Perth’s limited dating pool.
“Yeah, it’s a little bit difficult here in Perth. The dating pool is quite small. I guess it was a given, maybe,” she said.
A Second Chance at Love?
When asked about her history with the groom, Carina revealed that their past relationship was short-lived, but it seems he’s gotten a second chance to redeem himself.
“I was quite fortunate it wasn’t a long duration. It worked out to be really good in the end and, I guess he had to redeem himself most of all,” she said.
Meet the Potential Grooms
While the groom’s identity remains a mystery, the MAFS website lists three potential candidates from Perth.
There’s Paul, the suave Frenchman with a love for humour and European flair; Jake, the quirky high school PE teacher with a “golden retriever” personality; and Billy, the English expat who considers himself a traditional gentleman.
Don’t Miss the Drama!
Married At First Sight Season 12 premieres Monday at 7:30 pm on Channel 9 and 9Now. With 20 new singles walking down the aisle, including Carina, this season is set to be the most dramatic yet.
