Married At First Sight Australia's Bec Zacharia, a 2026 bride, has already made waves with her outspoken personality. The 27-year-old from South Australia, who works as an account manager, is on a quest for love after a transformative journey of self-improvement. She previously called off her wedding to an ex-fiancé just four months before the big day, realising he 'wasn't the one'.
Bec, who has been voted Adelaide's most eligible bachelorette twice, is now matched with Danny Hewitt on the show. She describes her ideal man as tall, bearded, and tattooed, someone who can handle her banter. Despite her confident exterior, she has struggled with low self-esteem in the past but has worked hard to overcome it.
Her transformation includes a remarkable 27kg weight loss through a keto diet, Pilates, and weight training. She told Adelaide Now: 'I hated myself for my whole life, I thought that I was ugly. I've worked really hard... and I thought 'if I love myself, then why can't someone else?''
Bec also underwent reconstructive jaw surgery at age 21, performed by her uncle, Dr Michael Zacharia, a famous plastic surgeon in South Australia. She explained she was born with a chin defect, which caused her significant insecurity. The surgery was 'life-changing', boosting her self-worth and allowing her to feel confident with her appearance.
Now, Bec is ready to find love on MAFS, hoping her journey of self-love will lead to a lasting relationship with her new husband.
