EXCLUSIVE The Logies invite list that's tearing the MAFS cast apart: Who will walk the red carpet and who has been snubbed REVEALED
This year's Married At First Sight cast are in a frenzy of panic ahead of the 2025 Logie Awards, after learning that only a small handful of them will be invited to attend the glittering ceremony. Set to take place on August 4 in Sydney, the event will once again be hosted by Channel Seven, leaving some Channel Nine stars sweating over their invite status. Daily Mail Australia can reveal that only a few of this year's breakout stars have made the cut, despite MAFS 2025 scoring strong ratings and widespread attention. Those tipped to attend include Jamie Marinos, Awhina Rutene, Rhi Disljenkovic, Jeff Gobbels, Tony Mojanovski, Ryan Donnelly, Carina Mirabile, Eliot Donovan, Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias. All ten stars have remained in good standing with Nine and have been spotted at recent promotional events, making them the obvious choices to represent the show and network. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Should Channel Nine be feeling generous Katie Johnston and Ashleigh Ackerman will also be considered. Meanwhile, relationship experts John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla will once again attend the awards to officially represent the series, while Mel Schilling has been invited but is yet to confirm her appearance. Insiders say the decision to limit the guest list has caused serious tension within the cast. 'Everyone's panicking and desperate to go,' one source told Daily Mail Australia. 'Some of them acted like saints during filming thinking it would secure them a Logies invite – now they're hearing they didn't make the cut and they're furious.' Those who've been left off the invite list include Morena Farina, Lauren Hall and Sierah Swepstone. Despite still being together, Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice won't be receiving an invite following their controversial stint on the show. Perth groom Paul Antoine, Tim Gromie, Adrian Araouzou and Veronica Cloherty also didn't make the list. 'There's already drama bubbling behind the scenes,' the insider continued. 'People are reaching out to stylists, PRs and brands trying to bluff their way in - but it's not happening.' The snubbing of certain cast members is a sharp reminder of last year's backlash, when only past participants Evelyn Ellis, Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant were invited to the 2024 ceremony - with the rest of the MAFS cast allegedly being blacklisted by producers for proving 'too difficult' post-show. This year, it's clear that behaviour and ongoing cooperation with the network have played a major role in who made the cut. 'It's a reward system. If you've stayed on good terms with Nine, played ball, and showed up to events – you're in. If you've caused headaches or gone rogue, you're out.' With the Logies just weeks away, the cast are still anxiously waiting for final confirmations – but insiders say the current list is unlikely to change. It comes as comedian Sam Pang was confirmed to be returning as host for the third time in three years. Sam's cheeky and irreverent comedy as host last year and in 2023 proved to be a big hit with audiences and TV's A-list as well as a major ratings winner for Seven.

Married At First Sight's Jamie Marinos and Eliot Donovan enjoy date night at viral Acai bowl food stop after sparking engagement rumours
They may not have walked down the aisle together on Married At First Sight, but Jamie Marinos and Eliot Donovan looked every bit the perfect match during a flirty food truck date night on Wednesday. The reality TV pair were spotted enjoying each other's company at Rosehill's viral go-to food hotspot. Jamie, 28, couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she cuddled up to Eliot, 35, with the duo sharing laughs and treats under the neon lights of the food park. The blonde marketing manager kept things casual but chic in a black fitted top, oversized leather jacket and light wash mum jeans. She wore her hair swept into a messy top bun and opted for glowy makeup, with fluttery lashes and nude lips completing her off-duty glam. Eliot, who quickly became a fan favourite following the 2025 season of MAFS, cut a handsome figure in a beige button-up jacket over a crisp white singlet. He paired the look with tailored black trousers and added some edge with rings and visible chest tattoos peeking out from beneath his open collar. The pair were seen giggling and feeding each other bites of their dessert as onlookers watched the chemistry unfold. Sources tell Daily Mail Australia the duo are 'closer than ever' after filming wrapped, with friends claiming they've been 'inseparable' in recent weeks. 'They've been spending a lot of time together off-camera. There's definitely something brewing there,' one insider dished. Jamie even reportedly turned down an offer to appear on a UK reality show to be close to Eliot. While neither Jamie nor Eliot has confirmed a romantic relationship, these cosy new snaps are bound to send the rumour mill into overdrive. The couple, who have been at the centre of romance speculation following their stint on the series, exclusively spoke to Daily Mail Australia about their relationship while attending the annual fashion event at Sydney 's Carriageworks on Wednesday. Jamie, who showed off her toned abs and killer bod in an all-leather ensemble, revealed that she had actually gotten married at the location, wedding her TV husband Dave Hand at the beginning of the season. Jamie, 28, couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she cuddled up to Eliot, 35, with the duo sharing laughs and treats under the neon lights of the food park Upon returning to the venue with Eliot, who was initially paired with Lauren Hall and then Veronica Cloherty on the show, the resident season 12 funny-girl said that it brought back memories of her nuptials - leaving a certain thought lingering in her head. 'I was hoping Eliot might propose,' she joked, which prompted fits of giggles from the pair. But the TV groom was more than happy to play along with the jest. 'This will get some clicks,' he joked as he took a knee, reenacting an engagement on the Carriageways' railway tracks. Eliot quipped that he was pulling a 'Jacqui and Clint', alluding to Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice's engagement at a reunion viewing party last month. The pair then put out rumours that they had moved in together, saying that they were 'taking things slow' despite the media frenzy around their relationship. However, it has been reported that Eliot and Jamie are sharing an Airbnb together while they visit Sydney for Australian Fashion Week. Queenslander Eliot created a video in which he showed off the luxury digs and then appeared to be 'surprised' to find that he was not alone in the apartment, discovering Jamie using the bathroom mirror. They spoke exclusively spoke to Daily Mail Australia about their relationship while attending the annual fashion event at Sydney's Carriageworks on Wednesday 'We only started hanging around each other since we both left our marriages, just over a month ago,' she said. Jamie also shared a video to her own stories where Eliot pretended to 'discover' her in the kitchen. The blonde bombshell has previously said that she and Eliot had simply clicked after their time on the Channel Nine series. She said that Eliot had provided support in the weeks following her split with Dave. 'He's always been a very good friend to me, but he's been a really amazing support system.' While admitting that the pair had become close, Jamie stopped short of hard launching any romantic entanglement with Eliot. 'I understand everyone wants an answer but we're in the real world now, so it's not like we're going to be official or announce something tomorrow,' she added. Jamie and Eliot certainly looked every inch the loved-up couple as they packed on the PDA for all to see at Warner Bros. Movie World last month. Eliot spent most of the day with an arm around Jamie's shoulders, holding her hand or gently touching her back. Jamie and Eliot also seemed unable to keep their hands off each other at Daily Mail Australia's recent reunion dinner.

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. RELATED: MAFS 2025: Everything the cast has posted since getting Instagram back 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.

'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.'

MAFS' Adrian dropped by talent agency after less than a week
While this year's season of Married At First Sight finished airing over a month ago, several participants are hoping to extend their time in the spotlight by signing with talent agencies. This includes Carina Mirabile, Paul Antoine, and Eliot Donovan, who have all added their new management details to their Instagram bios since regaining access to their accounts on Monday. It was also revealed last week that controversial groom Adrian Araouzou had joined PR queen Roxy Jacenko's agency, Ministry Of Talent, which represents reality star Ash Pollard, The Block contestants Leah and Ash Milton, and influencer Costeen Hatzi. The agency proudly announced the news on social media alongside a gallery of photos of Adrian both on and off the show. 'Thrilled to announce that @ is now represented by The Ministry of Talent for social media collabs and appearances!' they wrote. 'Get in touch for opportunities.' RELATED: MAFS' Adrian reveals where he stands with Awhina after Final Vows MAFS 2025: Everything the cast has posted since getting Instagram back The one rule the MAFS cast must follow after regaining their Instagram accounts Many people were outraged upon seeing the post and commented that it was 'disappointing' that Roxy would sign Adrian following his negative portrayal on MAFS. Just three days after the announcement, however, fans began speculating that he had already been dropped by the agency. Entertainment reporter and content creator Beth Anne (@livingmy_bethlife) noticed that Adrian had removed his management details from his TikTok bio, and he was no longer listed on Ministry Of Talent's website. Roxy confirmed in a statement to Yahoo Lifestyle on Tuesday that Adrian is no longer a part of Ministry Of Talent's roster, simply saying: 'No, we do not rep Adrian.' Adrian also confirmed that he and Ministry Of Talent had parted ways, telling us: 'There are no hard feelings. I understand what it is.' Interestingly, at the time of writing, Ministry Of Talent is yet to delete their Facebook post announcing that they are representing Adrian. When asked about his career plans following his appearance on MAFS, Adrian tells Yahoo Lifestyle that 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. Oh, [and] continue the quest to find my forever person.'
