Tony Mojanovski, the 53-year-old groom from Married At First Sight Australia, has sparked fresh controversy after being photographed enjoying a day out with a woman 30 years his junior. The sighting comes in the wake of his explosive and ultimately failed on-screen marriage to bride Morena Farina.
A Harbour-Side Appearance Raises Eyebrows
The council worker was spotted arriving at Sydney's King Street Wharf on Sunday, heading for the popular Aperol Afloat party on the vessel Seadeck. His companion for the afternoon was 23-year-old micro-influencer Courtney Ferguson.
Tony appeared relaxed and in high spirits, dressed in a crisp white quarter-zip jumper over a mint green T-shirt, paired with black shorts and white trainers. He grinned broadly and lifted his arms as he walked along the boardwalk, drawing glances from other attendees.
Meanwhile, Courtney commanded attention in a form-fitting chocolate brown mini dress featuring a sheer corset-style bodice. She completed the look with sleek sunglasses, a gold chain bag, and strappy heels, her hair in a neat bun and makeup perfectly polished.
Dancing and Drinks Amidst the Afternoon Buzz
Once aboard, the pair were seen blending into the lively crowd, dancing under a white canopy. In one moment, Tony threw his arms wide with a broad smile as Courtney stood playfully behind him, posing for the camera. They were later joined by fellow MAFS alumnus Ryan Donnelly on the dance floor, laughing and enjoying Aperol Spritzes in the sunshine.
This outing appears to contrast with Tony's previous statements about seeking deeper connections. "I'm getting older now. I'm no wall painting anymore," he told the Daily Mail. "At my age, you've got to start looking at somebody for more than just looks."
The Backdrop of a Turbulent TV Marriage
The harbour-side appearance follows the dramatic and very public unravelling of Tony's MAFS marriage to Morena Farina. Their relationship was marked by repeated clashes, with one major point of contention being Tony's revelation that he wanted to father children at age 53.
Morena's exit from the experiment was itself highly dramatic. She later claimed she felt held against her will and threatened to call police to be allowed to go home. After negotiations with producers, she agreed to return for one final Commitment Ceremony under strict conditions.
"I told them, 'I'm not speaking to the experts. They've never had my back. I just need to confront Tony'," Morena explained. She stormed onto the set while Tony was on the couch, delivering a blistering critique where she exposed several alleged secrets, including that Tony had wanted his estranged wife to join the experiment, before walking out for good.
The fallout from his televised marriage clearly behind him, Tony's latest public outing suggests he is moving on, though the significant age gap with his new companion is sure to keep tongues wagging among fans of the show.
