While we're still processing the chaos that was Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025, it seems the preparations for 2026 are already underway.
As the saying goes, the devil works hard, but reality TV producers work even harder!!!
For fans of reality TV who enjoy a splash of wedding drama, wine tossing, and verbal confrontations, there's exciting news. Season 13 of MAFS Australia is reportedly in the filming stage, with paparazzi capturing shots of two brides set to appear on our screens in 2026 — assuming they don't leave mid-season, as many have done recently…
According to photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia, one potential bride for MAFS 2026 — described as a “brunette bombshell” — was seen filming in a wedding dress at Sydney’s The Everleigh.

Alongside the “brunette bombshell,” a “blonde bombshell” believed to be Rebecca Zukowski was also captured filming her wedding in Sydney’s Centennial Park.
While details about the bride from The Everleigh remain scarce, Daily Mail Australia suggests Rebecca will be the “firecracker” of next year’s MAFS, with one insider likening her to 2025’s fan-favorite Jamie Marinos.
“She’s wild — think Jamie [Marinos] — just with more experience,” the insider revealed.
“She was overheard shouting from her balcony between takes – it was quite a scene.”
Another insider mentioned that the operations manager has a vibrant personality that will surely make dinner parties intriguing — and I’m all for it!
“She’s the kind of person who will support you fully — but cross her, and she’ll call you out without hesitation,” another source, claiming to be a friend of Rebecca, told the publication.
“She possesses a larger-than-life energy and never dims her light for anyone. We’re all eager to see her on screen.”
As for Rebecca’s groom, the publication suggests his name is Steve. Yes, just Steve.
When will Married At First Sight 2026 be released?
If we base it on last year's timeline, we anticipate a trailer release in December, with the premiere expected in January 2026.
Before making any assumptions, I want to clarify that this is merely a prediction and not an official announcement! However, with filming underway, it seems likely to follow the same schedule as this year’s extravaganza.
Who is the cast for Married at First Sight 2026?
As of now, Nine has not confirmed the brides and grooms for 2025, despite Daily Mail Australia reporting that one of the brides in the paparazzi photos is operations manager Rebecca Zukowski.
Nonetheless, the publication reports that a variety of personalities are expected in season 13, including a groom who has “already made headlines before.”
“It’s a very bold cast. There’s a lot of diversity in terms of age, culture, and life experience,” an anonymous insider shared.
“You’ve got a few notable online personalities, a groom who’s been in the spotlight before, and some genuinely grounded individuals just looking for love.”
Aiyiyi… count me in for this adventure!!!
