Married At First Sight Australia has unveiled its 2026 cast, featuring 18 new contestants hoping to find love in the 13th season. Among the brides and grooms is a former Big Brother star who was originally slated for the show, though details of their casting have only now emerged.
The new lineup includes a mix of personalities, from spiritual dreamers to razor-sharp business owners. Bride Bec, twice voted Adelaide's most eligible bachelorette, called off her wedding four months before the big day and is now seeking a tall, tattooed, bearded man. Farmer Luke, who took over his family's cattle property after his father's death, hopes for an optimistic and bubbly partner.
Other contestants include Alissa, a blunt but loyal bride whose six-year relationship ended last year; Steven, a former heavy metal rock star now fixing boats; and Lithuanian-born Stella, who wants a traditional relationship. Grayson, once an aspiring AFL player, turned his life around after a serious injury, while Rachel hasn't had a serious relationship in 14 years.
David, a Nigerian-born workaholic, seeks a respectful woman; Gia, a confident bride with a child, wants a man with empathy; UK-born Danny, covered in tattoos, is ready to settle down; and spiritual Julia is open to dating both men and women. The season promises explosive drama as these singles put their love lives in the hands of the MAFS experts.
