If you weren’t too swept up in all the chaos of last night’s dinner party on MAFS, which saw Morena take another swing at just about all the cast members, Jacqui and Ryan go on a strange tangent about their nonexistent future children, and Adrian and Sierah get exposed for their alleged affair, you may have made it to the part where a new lot of brides and grooms were introduced to the experiment.
The three new couples are set to be wed in tonight’s episode and include more than one familiar face that not everyone is happy about.
Here’s everything you need to know about this season’s intruders, and all the drama that’s set to unfold.

Teejay Halkias + Beth Kelly
First up, we have two newbies heading onto this season of MAFS in Teejay Halkias and Beth Kelly.
Teejay, 28, is a Business Development Manager from Queensland - though fans of Big Brother may recognise him from the 2023 season. Described as a social butterfly who loves a bit of sport, Teejay is one of seven siblings, and the only one that’s still single. So, what better place to solve that problem than MAFS!
He’s been paired with Beth, also 28 and living in Queensland. She’s a Salon Manager, originally from Lancashire, Northwest England, but she moved here to Australia 12 years ago. Unlike Teejay, who’s been in two long term relationships previously, Beth has never had a boyfriend before, and is ready to settle down and share her life with someone.
However, she’s also been labelled as brutally honest and not afraid of confrontation, so we’re seeing some potential drama here - particularly as according to The Daily Mail, Teejay has previously hooked up with MAFS bride Jamie.

Lauren Hall + Clint Rice
It’s been long predicted that MAFS bride Lauren Hall would be making a return to the experiment after being ditched by her husband, Eliot.
And, in last night’s preview, this was confirmed to be true.
This time around, Lauren is set to marry Clint Rice, a 43-year-old Pro Golfer and Business Owner from Tassie. Eliot did say that Lauren would be better suited to someone in their 40s - maybe he was right all along?
After his 10-year relationship ended, Clint has spent time focusing on personal development, giving him a clearer sense of what he’s looking for in a partner.
Whilst we have high hopes that this is Lauren, rumours are saying it might actually be bride Jacqui, with the two allegedly caught up in a couple swap.
Jacqui went rogue on her Instagram multiple times in recent months, inferring that she’s started a new chapter with a new man - who isn’t Ryan.
Sources have told The Daily Mail that Clint and Jacqui had natural chemistry and many common interests, which took Ryan completely by surprise as the incident unfolded during filming. Yikes!
Eliot Donovan + Veronica Cloherty
The most controversial couple of the three is disgraced returning groom Eliot, and his new wife Veronica Cloherty.
In case you’ve forgotten in the whirlwind of terrible grooms emerging each episode (Tim, Jake, and now Adrian??), Eliot was the first of the bunch to overwhelmingly disappoint his bride, and the rest of Australia, by leaving Lauren on their honeymoon, forcing her to face the first dinner party alone.
He then had a conversation with expert John Aiken, where he was called out for his unreasonable standards, and asked to reconsider - and maybe we’ll see just that with Veronica.
Veronica, age 32, is a Personal Trainer, Actor and Model from New South Wales. Veronica said she’s given up on the local dating scene, and has instead turned to MAFS for help finding someone with manners and empathy.
Unsurprisingly, people aren’t stoked to see Eliot come back to the show, however maybe Veronica will be the right person to turn him around.
