Every post-show career move from the MAFS 2025 cast
This year's cast of Married At First Sight has wasted no time in announcing their next career ventures since regaining access to their Instagram accounts this week. While a handful of brides and grooms had been using backup profiles while the show aired on TV, many have had to wait over five months to log back into their social media.
It appears that many participants dedicated this time to launching businesses and figuring out how to use their newfound platform to their advantage. From podcasts and products to OnlyFans and self-help websites, here are all the major career announcements from the 2025 MAFS cast.

The one rule the MAFS cast must follow after regaining their Instagram accounts
MAFS star confirms appearance on The Block 2025: 'Super fun'
Carina Mirabile has revealed that she's teamed up with her close friend and hairdresser, Jacob Muller, to launch their new podcast, 'This Is Chaos'. The duo connected during MAFS when Jacob did Carina's hair for the dinner parties, and they regularly filmed content together from his salon chair.
Jacob tells Yahoo Lifestyle they've been keeping the podcast under wraps for a while, and they're thrilled by the positive response from fans.
'Let's just say it all started mid glam with zero plans, a bit of chaos and a whole lot of real talk,' he says. 'What can fans expect? Think glam room meets group chat hehe.'
Meanwhile, Carina teases that she's 'ready to go deep, get raw and vulnerable, and shut [down] those rumours about 'fake' Carina'.
While he's yet to officially announce his new venture on social media, fans noticed on Monday that Teejay Halkias had quietly updated his Instagram bio to say that he is the founder of CoPro, a protein drink set to 'revolutionise the health industry'.
The intruder groom tells Yahoo Lifestyle he's been working on the product for over a year and hopes to officially launch in the next couple of months.
'CoPro is a new wave in plant-based performance - a clean, dairy-free protein drink packed with 31 grams of faba protein, natural coconut hydration, and zero compromise on flavour,' he explains.
'After over a year of formulation, taste-testing, and fine-tuning every gram, it's finally here to shake up the functional beverage space. No dairy. No nuts. No BS. Just smooth, crave-worthy fuel for people who move in a 400ml bottle!'
After receiving praise on the show from both Rhi Disljenkovic and Jacqui Burfoot about his cooking skills, Jeff Gobbels announced on Tuesday that he had launched a new account called Jeff Eats.
The electrician and former actor posts videos making 'simple, delicious and healthy-ish meals', starting with his recipe for prawn tacos.
Katie Johnston has seemingly followed in the footsteps of Lucinda Light and launched her own self-help website, It's Wild By Katie. The fan-favourite bride, who has qualifications in behavioural science and life coaching, offers free courses designed to cover common toxic psychological traits inspired by her MAFS experience.
She also has plans to launch 'weekly check ins' where she and her followers in both Australia and the UK can 'have a tea, cleanse, meditate and hang out together while we discuss what we are learning in life, grow a sense of connection and community while doing some self reflection activities'.
As well as the courses, her website currently sells a range of teas for $29.95 each, and two original acrylic paintings for $2000 and $2500.
Paul Antoine is one of the many MAFS participants who did an Instagram Q&A on Tuesday and teased that he's working on a few projects, which are 'all looking good'. One thing he won't be doing, however, is joining the adult subscription-based platform OnlyFans.
'When is the OF dropping? Well, I'm sorry to disappoint, but it will never happen ever,' he declared.
Yahoo Lifestyle recently revealed that Paul had left his job as a wellness advisor after filming the show and is now focusing on an online training business and creating personalised programs for clients and social media followers.

Meanwhile, Yahoo Lifestyle confirmed on Tuesday that Adrian Araouzou had been dropped by Roxy Jacenko's agency, Ministry Of Talent, just a few days after they announced they were representing him.
Adrian told us that there were 'no hard feelings' and he wants to 'go back to what [he] was doing before', which includes running his own e-commerce business.
'I plan on dissociating anything to do with MAFS,' he shares. 'I enjoy creating content, so I'll continue to keep on doing that just like I was doing before the show. I have other business ventures that I would like to explore and see where life takes me. I am an open book right now.'

Sabrina Carpenter to release new song 'Manchild' later this week
New music is coming from Sabrina Carpenter. After the Grammy winner shared a video teaser on social media Monday, she confirmed Tuesday that she would be releasing a new song, titled "Manchild." The new song is set to be released Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. "This one's about you!!" Carpenter wrote in the caption of an Instagram post Tuesday. The post included an image of the singer hitchhiking along what appears to be a desert highway. A 7-inch vinyl version of the song is available for preorder now. A photo of the vinyl reveals that the song is produced by Jack Antonoff, one of Carpenter's "Short n' Sweet" collaborators. The flip side of the vinyl bears the phrase "Inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man." Ahead of the song reveal, fans noticed billboards popping up that seemingly contained lyrics for the new song. The billboards, credited to SC Entertainment, feature the words "Hey Men," "Amen" and "I Swear They Choose Me I'm Not Choosing Them." Another billboard included the word "Manchild," which fans correctly assumed would be the title of the song. As some fans noted, the "Manchild" rollout bears similarities to the debut of Carpenter's hit song "Espresso" in April 2024, just before she performed at Coachella. Carpenter will be performing at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona on Friday. "Manchild" comes nearly a year after Carpenter released her Grammy-nominated album "Short n' Sweet." The album included "Espresso," as well as the songs "Please Please Please" and "Bed Chem."

Seth Meyers criticized for not helping wife with sick daughter during speech
Seth Meyers is praising his wife for a job well done. The 51-year-old comedian and late-night talk show host has been married to his wife, human rights attorney Alexi Ashe, for nearly 12 years since tying the knot in September 2013, per People. The pair have since welcomed two sons, Ashe Olson and Axel Strahl, and one daughter, Adelaide Ruth. On May 31, Meyers took to Instagram to praise his wife after she delivered her commencement address at the Albuquerque Academy — an independent college preparatory school she graduated from in 2002. But it wasn't just her speech that garnered Meyers' attention. 'So proud to watch Alexi crush her commencement address while also putting on a motherhood clinic without missing a beat,' Meyers wrote in the caption alongside photos of his wife at the ceremony. According to the post, the couple's daughter Adelaide, 3, wasn't feeling well that day. 'Our daughter was under the weather and not interested in being with anyone but her mom,' Meyers added. 'Instead of sending her home she let her join her on stage without ever losing her cool.' Adelaide spent time in her mother's arms and seated in a chair next to her mother during the event. 'Oh you can see it in Addie's eyes she's not her usual self. Superwoman!' fellow comedian Amy Schumer wrote in the comment section. But Adelaide wasn't the only one to crash her mother's speech. 'And then to top it all off her niece just wandered to stage mid speech to chill behind the podium,' Meyers continued in the caption. The moment was captured in the fifth slide of Meyers' post. Aside from Schumer, celebrities Chelsea Handler, Ali Wentworth and Kenan Thompson praised Ashe for her multi-tasking speech over the weekend. Fans were also quick to applaud the mother of three. 'Way to go! Love seeing an accomplished woman who isn't embarrassed to be a mom with a child who needs her,' one fan wrote, while another commented, 'And that's why women should rule the world!!' A third fan gave kudos to the school for allowing Ashe to be there for her daughter during the speech. But some fans were more shocked at the fact that Meyers didn't help. 'Am I the only one who thinks someone should have helped with the kiddo so she can focus on the task at hand?' one commenter asked. 'There's a whole meme about dads failing to let moms have their moments like this, and just letting kids do this. So uncool of you,' another fan argued. 'This is just sad,' a third commenter added. 'Jeez can she get one moment of her own?' Meyers met his future wife at actor Chris Kattan's 2008 wedding to Sunshine Tutt, per Today. As Meyers explained on a 2023 episode of the 'Strike Force Five' podcast, it didn't take long for the couple to build chemistry — and it wasn't just them that saw sparks flying. 'Alexi and I hit it off to the point on Friday night, that on Saturday, people kept asking us how long we'd been a couple,' he said. 'That's the level of flirty we were, the second day we knew each other.' In 2013, after five years of dating, Meyers proposed by tying a ring in a bow around their dog's collar. The couple tied the knot a few months later and have been married since. They welcomed their first son, Ashe Olson, in 2016, followed by a second son, Axel Strahl, two years later and their daughter, Adelaide Ruth, in 2021. The pair celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary in September 2023. 'Ten years ago today I married the brilliant and beautiful, Alexi Ashe,' Meyers wrote in an Instagram caption alongside a photo of his wife. 'Photographed here maintaining her grace while three children scream at her off camera and I ask if she's seen my wallet and right shoe,' he joked.
