In a bombshell revelation that's set to shake the world of reality TV romance, Married At First Sight expert John Aiken has issued a stark warning to potential brides considering the 2026 season of the controversial matchmaking show.
The Harsh Reality Behind Reality TV Weddings
The renowned relationship psychologist didn't mince words when he revealed: 'Viewers only see the edited highlights - the real work happens off-camera.' Aiken's comments come as production gears up for future seasons of the global phenomenon that pairs strangers at the altar.
Three Brutal Truths About MAFS
- Instant chemistry rarely translates to lasting love
- The experiment amplifies existing personality flaws
- Post-show life presents unexpected challenges
Aiken emphasised that while the show creates extraordinary circumstances, successful couples are those who treat their televised marriage like a real commitment rather than a temporary experiment.
Why Most MAFS Marriages Fail
The relationship expert explained that many participants underestimate the psychological toll of having their most intimate moments broadcast to millions. 'The cameras stop rolling, but the marriage continues,' Aiken noted, adding that the transition from constructed reality to everyday life proves disastrous for many couples.
With MAFS Australia continuing to dominate global ratings, Aiken's warning serves as both a cautionary tale and essential viewing for anyone considering applying for future seasons of the high-stakes relationship experiment.
