Married At First Sight star Ash Galati has announced the death of his sister, Cass, following a battle with cancer. The 33-year-old, who appeared on the Australian version of the show in 2024, shared a heartfelt Instagram post alongside a collection of photos of his sister.
In the tribute, he wrote: "My beautiful sister Cass, I know you hated social media. We all loved you; you didn’t deserve this ending. It was so unfair. Life can be so unfair." He added that she had shaped his life: "Without even trying, you shaped so much of my life. You were the reason I didn’t steer down a bad path."
Ash revealed that his sister was the reason he applied for the show, explaining: "The reason I applied for that show was that you said you’d watch it during chemo; if I got on, then forced me to apply." He described her as "a risk-taker, a good cop – the ones you see in the movies", and shared a message she had written for him before she died, which read: "You are the greatest brother in the whole world. Always there to help out whenever I need you. So proud of the person you are and so grateful you are my brother."
Tributes poured in from fellow MAFS stars. Tori Adams commented: "Oh Ash. my deepest deepest condolences to you and your family." Jack Dunkley wrote: "Your sister would be so proud of you Ash. Your generosity & your gift you bring into people’s life. She is in a better place my guy RIP Cass."
Ash first found fame when he married psychic medium Madeleine Maxwell during 2024's Married At First Sight Australia, but the couple's relationship did not work out after a rocky time on the series.
