MAFS stars confirm they ARE dating after splitting from TV spouses and months of rumours
MARRIED At First Sight stars have finally confirmed they are a couple after weeks of speculation. 5 5 Awhina had been paired with Adrian on the reality TV series, but it did not go well as they bickered for most of the time. While Billy seemed to have a strong connection with Sierah during his season of MAFS, their relationship also fell apart. "Obviously, we've got good chemistry and we do have a good connection. It's very natural with me and 'Fee',' Billy told Australian magazine, Woman's Day. 'Whenever we're together, we are laughing, we are smiling. We're as close as can be." Billy admitted that trying to start a new relationship after MAFS was "really hard." "Obviously I've seen Fee go through a lot and so it wasn't like, let's try and crack on. I don't think that's the right time to be doing anything like that,' he said. As for Awhina, she had no issues with introducing Billy to her seven-year-old son Landon. 'I introduced Billy to Landon around November last year, when we were still filming,' she told the magazine. 'They get on so well, Landon loves Billy.' The pair first set social media ablaze by posting pictures of each other getting cozy to their Instagram earlier this month. MAFS groom forced to deny cheating accusations after bride claims he had sex with another woman during show filming The pair enjoyed a cosy date night at a restaurant in Perth and snapped some very romantic photos in the process. Both in black, they posed for a mirror selfie that saw stunning Awhina looking forwards, while Billy placed his arm around her front and she held onto it. She said: 'I'll keep this one 🤭' as the caption, sending the rumour mill into overdrive in the process. Awhina shared a string of date night snaps in the carousel, as they enjoyed small plates and red wine while dining out together. Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." The date night post comes after Awhina was spotted looking in a video looking glam at a horse racing event in Perth. During the video Billy made an appearance and she was inundated with comments from curious fans. Awhina captioned the video: "Our exes ate a plate of meat, but who really ate?" 5 5

Jilted MAFS bride Morena Farina hits back at online trolls as she hard launches surprising new 'connection'
Married At First Sight's Morena Farina has partnered up with season 10 bride Melissa Sheppard to issue a warning to online haters. On Monday the Melbourne DJ, who skipped out of Australia's 'social experiment' and bid 'good riddance' to her TV husband Tony Mojanovski in a dramatic storm out, told her bullies to 'keep watching.' Both Morena, 57, and Melissa, 43, were cast in the role of vivacious middle-aged woman 'looking for real love' on MAFS - and both have claimed they were given a 'bad edit'. 'To the online bullies watching me, keep watching,' Morena wrote in a lengthy caption on Monday, alongside a professional headshot for her DJ portfolio. 'I'm still here, still doing what I've always done, Still rising, still creating, still DJing.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The bride then thanked her haters and tagged anti-bullying non-for-profit @bullyzero. 'You tried to tear me down, but all you did was remind me how strong I am,' Morena said. 'Your hate isn't power. It's noise. And I've learned how to turn noise into rhythm. To every keyboard warrior out there, thank you. 'Watch me grow. Watch me succeed. Watch me bring good into this world more than what you're doing. Because while you're busy tearing others down, I'm building. 'Forgiveness will find you one day, and I hope it brings you peace.' Morena, who has 27,000 Instagram followers, said 'every comment, every insult, every attempt to tear me down has only helped my algorithm explode.' In the comments, she also said she has 'no regrets' about doing MAFS because it led her to a 'real' connection with Sydney-based hairdresser, Melissa. 'Melissa, everything I've been through the pain, the constant torment, the bullying it's all been worth it, because it led me to you,' Morena wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DJ Morena, Melbourne Wedding & Events🎧 (@djmorenaofficial) 'If it wasn't for MAFS, our paths would never have crossed, and for that alone, I have no regrets, darling. 'Sure, I didn't get a good edit but who even cares? Look at our lives now. We're thriving, we're strong, and we know our truth. I know exactly what I prefer and that's the real, beautiful connection we have. 'They can throw what they want at us, but one thing's for sure: we can't be defeated.' Melissa, who was matched with soft-spoken groom Josh White and dubbed 'the horny bride' during her season of MAFS, called Morena, 'my beautiful friend.' 'It's an honour to be your friend and I cherish the bond we share together,' she wrote. 'So proud of you and your resilience and strength. You & I, together foreva.' Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed that Morena and Tony's whirlwind romance crashed before it even began, after she discovered her new husband was still 'married' to his ex on their honeymoon. According to insiders, Tony had separated from his long-time partner three years ago but never officially ended his marriage. Morena was understandably devastated, but viewers' sympathy for her character began to wane as the season continued.
