Published on April 01, 2025 at 09:40 AM

Married At First Sight stars reveal they’re expecting their second child together five years after finding love on show

MARRIED At First Sight Australia had the British public gripped during the 2020 lockdown.

The Aussie version of the show aired on E4 during the pandemic and left viewers utterly captivated by all the drama.

The series, which had aired Down Under the previous year, featured everything from cheating scandals to one groom losing his virginity on his honeymoon.

And at one very explosive dinner party, a furious newlywed chucked a glass of red wine over her hot-headed co-star.

But away from the chaos, there were success stories too.

Here, we look back at the cast of MAFS Australia 2019 and see what they are up to now.

Jessika Power and Mick Gould

Jessika Power and Mick Gould's marriage didn't get off to the best start thanks to a crude best man's speech at their wedding.

After tying the knot, Mick's pal Daniel told a lewd story about their past involving viagra and it left Jessika's dad and brother fuming.

Although to Mick it appeared city girl Jessika was trying to embrace his country boy life as a farmer, behind the scenes she began an affair with Dan Webb.

Dan was a latecomer to the series and had married Tamara Joy but, needless to say, it all ended in tears and led to both couples' break ups.

Jessika made the most of her newfound notoriety in the UK and flew straight over here when restrictions were lifted.

She took part in both Celebs Go DatingandEx on the Beach before eventually returning to Australia.

In January this year, Jessika revealed she had found love with a new boyfriend called Ryan – but they have since split.

Just this week, she sparked concern by sharing a video of herself with a black eye which she claims was caused by a mystery “d***head”.

Mick, meanwhile, went on to date – and move in with – Aussie Bachelor star Kayla Gray but their romance fizzled out.

The farmer has since found lasting love with his current partner Crystal.

The pair now live together hundreds of miles away from his farm after buying a house together in Noosa.

Heidi Latcham and Mike Gunner hit it off from the the moment they said ‘I do' and they made it to the end of the experiment.

But their relationship was hit with ups and downs, with Mike even famously yelling at Heidi “I'm not your therapist!” as they sat on the beach together.

Radio presenter Heidi told Mike she wanted to continue with their romance at the Final Vows, but Mike told he he ‘couldn't make her happy' and walked away.

The pair insisted they would remain friends but there is little evidence to suggest they ever did.

Mike, who was an electrician, now works as a filmmaker and a wedding and events photographer.

Heidi, meanwhile, took a huge break from social media and slipped under the radar following her time on the show.

However, in 2023 she reemerged and confirmed on Instagram that she was now a mum to a baby daughter.

Without revealing the name of her baby's father, she simply gushed: “Look what we made!”

Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant

Jules and Cam are arguably one of Married At First Sight‘s biggest success stories.

The couple fell for each other instantly and, as the cameras rolled, their relationship just went from strength to strength.

Cam even proposed to Jules at the Final Vows and the couple legally tied the knot a few months later.

They are just as happy now as they were back then and are parents two sons, four-year-old Ollie and Charter, who was born last year.

Jules and Cam are no strangers to documenting their family life on social media and both have launched successful careers off the back of MAFS.

In 2023, Jules – a body confidence campaigner – launched her own brand of shape-wear for women of all shapes and sizes called FIGUR.

Cam, meanwhile, works as a motivational speaker, mental health coach and mentor.

Cyrell Paule and Nic Jovanovic

Dubbed ‘Cyclone Cyrell', Cyrell Paule was known as the fiery one among the MAFS 2019 cast.

She married Nic Jovanovic on the show and their relationship was tumultuous to say the least.

Once the honeymoon period had warn off, Cyrell and Nic had many heated arguments and she threatened to pack her bags and leave on multiple occasions.

The couple didn't make it to the end of the experiment and both agreed to leave the show during a Commitment Ceremony.

Nic, meanwhile, has also found his happy ever after and got engaged last year to his girlfriend Alex. They recently embarked on a road trip across Europe together.

Ines Basic and Bronson Norrish

How many of us adopted the phrase “delicious snack” to describe a member of the opposite sex after Ines Basic coined it on MAFS?

Ines and Bronson's marriage ended in disaster when it emerged she had cheated with Lizzie Vega-Sobinoff's husband Sam Ball.

However, Ines later claimed Bronson had told her he wanted an open relationship in scenes that were not aired on MAFS.

She later told Mail Online: “Bronson never spoke to me again. He blocked me, I have never heard from him to this day.

“He had a big bust to the ego. He was saying he was into open relationships and sharing women and he found that beautiful but when it happened to him on national TV his ego took a real big bruise.”

Legal secretary Ines suffered nasty trolling following her time on MAFS and took a step back from the public eye for a while. She now models for OnlyFans.

Bronson, meanwhile, still runs a party boat company and has a long-term girlfriend called Hayley that he met on a dating app.

Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli

Martha and Michael are another success story to come from MAFS Australia.

The couple barely encountered any dramas on the show – apart from the time Martha threw an entire glass of red wine over Cyclone Cyrell during an epic row.

Following the show, Michael and Martha moved to Bondi and announced their official engagement in 2021.

They are now proud parents to a son called Lucius, who they welcomed into the world in 2023.

During her pregnancy, Martha spoke openly about her experience with hyperemesis gravidarum – a severe form of pregnancy sickness – to raise awareness of the condition.

The couple are yet to get married officially but they have moved back to Melbourne to be close to both their families.

Mark Scrivens and Ning Surasiang

At their wedding, Ning famously announced that she was “just here for the food”.

Fans will remember Mark being hopelessly attracted to Ning, however she refused to get intimate despite claiming she was attracted to him.

The couple made it to the end of the experiment but Mark refused to commit to his wife at the Final Vows and they split.

Ning, meanwhile, became a grandma aged 35 in 2021 when her eldest daughter gave birth aged 17.

She is still working as a hair stylist and is believed to be single.

Lizzie and Sam's MAFS marriage ended in disaster when he had a fling with his co-star Ines Basic.

And this was after he body-shamed his wife on their wedding day.

Having put that behind her, Lizzie has found happiness and is now married to husband Alexander Vega.

In 2023, she revealed she had become a mum, telling fans: “I have never been happier.”

Matthew was a 29-year-old virgin when he married Lauren on MAFS.

He lost his virginity to her during their honeymoon, but unfortunately their relationship didn't make it to the end of the experiment.

Matthew is still working as a filmmaker and classes himself as a “fear facer” following his time on MAFS.

He got engaged to British girlfriend Annabel in 2021.

Lauren has also found love and she became a mum for the first time last year. She is engaged to fiancé Wade Burns.
