Married At First Sight star Carina Mirabile reveals the REAL story behind her TV groom Paul Antoine's shocking door punching incident including his surprising sex confession
Married At First Sight star Carina Mirabile has revealed new shock details about her TV husband Paul Antoine's shocking door punching incident which aired on the Channel Nine show earlier this year. During the emotionally charged episode, Paul sensationally punched a door in the couple's shared apartment after Carina made what she thought was an offhand comment about a dalliance with US rapper Quevo. The incident set the couple down a rocky relationship road, as well as shocking viewers and sparking a police investigation. Speaking about the incident on her new podcast with celebrity hairstylist Jacob Mueller, This Is Chaos, Carina recalled the lead up to Paul's violent outburst - a double date with couple Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels. She explained that what she thought was an innocent comment about her tryst with Quevo triggered something in Paul. 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. 'We were taking turns putting on a song [in an Uber]. I put on a song and it was one with Quavo in it. I said, "I slept with him" as it was funny and stupid, we all laughed about it. Paul laughed as well,' she said. 'Then when we get back to the apartment and Paul was so furious. He was frustrated, I could see he was upset. He was pacing, he had to go the balcony, I was thinking okay this isn't normal, something is up.' Carina added that she thought her comment would be inconsequential, given a shock confession Paul made to Carina that was cut from the show's final edit. 'When Paul and I were doing Confessions Week at the start of the experiment, he openly said that he was into swinging with his ex-partner,' Carina revealed. 'I was like, are you for real? Does your family know about this? Then he told me all about his past dating life and I just let it go.' Given Paul's racy confession, Carina said that she was surprised at Paul's reaction to her own admission. 'He was just so upset and dramatic about the whole Quavo situation. I kept apologising, he kept saying he was embarrassed that I openly said that. I kept saying sorry, sorry, sorry. I didn't feel unsafe, it was just us having a fight,' she said. 'I said, "but you openly said, on camera, for a national television show, that you had slept with swingers and did swinging with your ex so I didn't think [me sharing that story] that was a bad thing." Carina added that she thought her comment would be inconsequential, given a shock confession Paul made to Carina that was cut from the show's final edit. 'When Paul and I were doing Confessions Week at the start of the experiment, he openly said that he was into swinging with his ex-partner,' she revealed 'Where's the juxtaposition between this? What is okay and not okay? You're allowed to do that and I just have to accept it? But when I say something about my past sex life you have a massive blow up?' Carina then revealed that a producer, hearing the arguing coming from the couple's room, tried to intervene prior to Paul's outburst. She said the producer encouraged Paul to take a walk to calm down, but an evening stroll did little to allay the groom's temper. 'He was angry, pacing and breathing heavily. I just said, "let's go to bed, let's go to bed." So we're laying in bed, I could hear him panting and I asked, "what's going on? Are you okay?" He got up and said "no, I'm not okay." 'He got up and bang, bang. I was like holy shit this has now gotten so much serious. I was freaking out, thinking how did it get from that comment to this situation?' Carina, who stayed with Paul following his outburst, said that she regrets standing by her man, adding that she feels she let domestic violence victims down. 'Watching that back as it aired, with all of the viewers of the show, I know I 100 per cent let down so many women and victims of domestic violence,' she said. 'While it was all happening [during filming], I was processing it all and didn't know what was happening. Carina, who walked away from a heartbroken Paul during Final Vows, added that she is arming herself with knowledge about domestic violence so as not to make the same mistake again 'I thought he was coming from a place of having to create this drama for a television show. There was so much drama with other couples on the show, and we were boring essentially.' Carina, who walked away from a heartbroken Paul during Final Vows, added she is arming herself with knowledge so as not to make the same mistake again. He hadn't shown me any bad behaviour signs or signs of domestic violence at all [prior to that night] and it all happened so out of a blue,' she said. 'I am now trying to educate myself so I can identify things like this and signs for my future relationship. Before this I had never experienced any form of domestic violence.' Speaking about the incident in April, Paul told Daily Mail Australia that lack of sleep was one catalyst for his outburst. 'I was mentally drained. We were filming 12 to 14 hours a day, and I was running on five hours of sleep. I just snapped,' he said. Paul added he felt Carina's apologies over her public admission were 'deflective' adding that his reaction was 'unacceptable'. 'I walked out of the room and I lost control. The moment it happened, I instantly felt shame. I felt disgusted,' he said. Paul also confirmed that this kind of behaviour had never happened before in his life. 'My friends, my family — they know me. That's not who I am. I've never lashed out like that.'

EXCLUSIVE Married At First Sight groom Paul Antoine sparks romance rumours with glamorous Sydney influencer
Married At First Sight's Paul Antoine has wasted no time moving on from his reality TV heartbreak – and it seems he's set his sights on a striking new muse. The 30-year-old former FIFO wellness coach was spotted getting close to glamorous Sydney influencer Skye Clements at the NEON MGMT x Midtown Bar & Lounge's Sydney Fashion Week Afterparty last week - and the chemistry was sizzling. Held at the newly refurbished Midtown Lounge in Sydney's CBD, the fashion-forward bash was a who's who of Sydney and Gold Coast socialites. The event featured a DJ spinning tracks behind a marble-clad booth and guests sipping custom mini cocktails like the Cherry Palm Colada and Pickle Margarita Fizz. But it was Paul and Skye who truly stole the spotlight. The 30-year-old former FIFO wellness coach was spotted getting close to glamorous Sydney influencer Skye Clements at the NEON MGMT x Midtown Bar & Lounge's Sydney Fashion Week Afterparty last week – and the chemistry was sizzling 'Paul and Skye immediately hit it off,' an insider spilled to Daily Mail Australia. 'They barely left each other's side all night – it was flirty, fun, and you could feel the spark.' After mingling at the Midtown party, the pair were seen leaving together and heading to late-night hotspot Pelicano in Potts Point. And while it may have started as a Fashion Week fling, sources say the pair have stayed in contact - and it's heating up. 'They've been Facetiming non-stop ever since,' the source added. 'Paul's even been telling friends he wants to relocate to Sydney just so he can take her out again.' The pair were introduced by Skye's close friend, model James Pappalardo, who was also in attendance. Paul wasn't the only MAFS groom making the rounds – Adrian Araouzou, Ryan Donnelly and Tony Mojanovski were all spotted at the event. Also spotted at the exclusive party was former bride Selina Chhaur. Guests were treated to personalised drinks menus, plush booths, and fashion-forward flair as influencers and reality stars rubbed shoulders over lychee-infused cocktails and glam banter. Paul was paired with Perth-based digital marketing manager Carina Mirabile. They navigated early challenges, including partner swap week and emotionally charged honesty letters, which initially seemed to strengthen their bond. However, their relationship took a dramatic turn following a heated argument after Carina revealed a past relationship with rapper Quavo. Further strain was added when Paul chose to go on a date with another woman during the show's final task, a decision that deeply hurt Carina and contributed to the erosion of trust between them. At the Final Vows ceremony, Paul expressed his desire to continue the relationship, but Carina decided to end it, citing the cumulative issues they had faced. While Paul attempted to reconnect with Carina after filming concluded, she declined, stating that although there was no animosity, she did not wish to rekindle the relationship. Their tumultuous journey highlighted the challenges of building a relationship under intense scrutiny and the importance of trust and respect in a partnership.

EXCLUSIVE Is that you, Kim? Married At First Sight bride mistaken for Kardashian as she copies her look and slips into Skims at Australian Fashion Week
Married at First Sight bride Carina Mirabile has taken her Kim Kardashian copy-catting to another level at Australian Fashion Week, as she gears up to launch her own podcast. Carina, 31, turned heads on Day Two of Sydney 's streetwear fashion parade as she arrived to Carriageworks wearing the nude SKIMS 'Ultimate Butt' bodysuit and a fur coat. The season 12 bride, who was matched with controversial French groom Paul Antoine on MAFS, has taken great pains to cultivate comparisons to the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Carina served her best 'Kim' on Wednesday in an ultra-long hair piece that took her stylist and podcast co-host Jacob Muller three days to make. 'It's a visual love letter to dating at the moment,' Muller told Daily Mail Australia as Carina twirled to show off the elaborate extension. 'Every piece, every string represents a person. I used cotton because cotton is very fragile, just like our hearts. I actually cried making this piece.' 'I think transitioning from being married on the show and going through a relationship and it didn't work in my favour, this is my next chapter. 'The look says "What's happening from Carina?" 'Yes this is my own 'fit. I bought this fur coat from New York in Brooklyn and I've got SKIMS on underneath and literally pantyhose stockings,' she added. 'I've got my Ottalinger bag, which I love, and then of course the staple piece for today's show is my long hair extension.' Carina agreed the hair piece is 'very Willow Smith' before asking Muller to jump in and 'say what it is.' The brunette wore a nude SKIMS bodysuit from Kim's recently released Ultimate Butt Enhancing line that includes padded shorts, leggings and bodysuits for a 'bigger, rounder, perkier' derrière. In a February campaign for the new line, Kim styled herself as the 'Fairy Butt Mother' to all women seeking an instant 'boob job' or 'butt lift' with the help of subtle padding. The nude bodysuit and fur jacket combo is one the Kardashian star has rocked at Paris Fashion Week front rows for at least 10 years, when she was representing her ex husband Kanye West's Yeezy bodysuits. The nude bodysuit and fur jacket combo is one the Kardashian star has rocked at Paris Fashion Week front rows for at least 10 years, as well as behind-the-scenes of Saturday Night Live More recently though, it's a look the mum-of-four has reinvigorated for the launch of her flagship Skims store on Melrose Drive in Los Angeles. Throughout Carina's time on MAFS her one-for-one outfit matches to Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian earned her the nickname 'Temu Kim.' Speaking to Daily Mail Australia in January, Carina said she was flattered by the nickname, but laughed it off nonetheless. 'I mean, come on - I'm a little more classy than that! But honestly, I am inspired by Kim's fashion and style. 'Most of all, I resonate with her family dynamic. I come from a big family too, and that's something I deeply value.' Like Kris Jenner, who has four children - Kylie and Kendall Jenner, and Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, and Rob Kardashian, and 14 grandchildren, mum Carmel also enjoys a large family with 5 children and ten grandchildren. And much like the Kardashians, who have a vast multi-media empire at their feet, Carina, too is part of an impressive family-run business. The Mirabile family, led by Carina's mother and father Carmel and Tony, run Beyond Tools—a purveyor of heavy duty machinery and power tools. Carina works in the business as a digital marketing manager and social media specialist. Carina tried out careers as a broadcast journalist, TV personality, host, model, and actress, prior to applying for season 12 of MAFS. She got her big TV break in as 'lead actress' in a Channel Nine TV segment filmed with Beyond Tools in 2018. The brunette beauty has a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from Edith Cowan University, a diploma in fashion design and completed acting classes at the famous West Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Carina auditioned to be the host of E! News Australia back in 2014, before putting journalism on the back burner to pursue acting and modelling. Just before her appearance on MAFS, she followed in Kim's footsteps again by launching her own unisex athleisure clothing label called Mirab (a reference to her surname). She has more than tripled her Instagram following from 49,000 to 156,000 since her season of MAFS finished airing and on Wednesday, announced a new podcast with Muller called This Is Chaos. 'We used to joke in his salon chair about starting a podcast because our conversations were absolutely unhinged and now here we are,' Carina wrote on Instagram. What started in the glam chair before the cameras rolled has turned into something much bigger than we ever imagined. 'You only saw a snippet of me from the show, now I'm ready to go deep, get raw and vulnerable and shut those rumors about "fake" Carina. We're so excited to finally share it with you and be apart of the journey with us.' Since leaving MAFS, she has also fashioned herself a Kim-style haircut with a chin-length fringe.

The most shocking moments from MAFS Australia: awkward honeymoons, unexpected old flames and ballroom dancing disasters
UNLUCKY IN LOVE The most shocking moments from MAFS Australia: awkward honeymoons, unexpected old flames and ballroom dancing disasters IT'S THE hit show from down under, where singletons embark on the ultimate journey to find true love – by marrying a complete stranger. While this year has delivered its fair share of fairytale moments, it's safe to say there has also been some jaw-dropping drama that has left us shocked on our sofas. The quest for happily ever after is never easy. Now we have all the episodes available to stream on Channel 4, we look back at the standout moments that made this year's series so unforgettable. 4 It wasn't the first time for Carina Mirabile and Paul Antoine Old flames can still spark In a Married at First Sight Australia first, one of this year's brides had not only met her groom before – she had dated him. Carina Mirabile, a 31-year-old digital marketing manager from Perth, had been on several dates with 30-year-old wellness adviser Paul Antoine before she met him again at the altar. Shocked by the coincidence but still dedicated to their quest for true love, the couple put their trust in the experiment – no matter what the outcome… If you thought it was shocking that it happened once, have we got news for you – it happened again. Rhi Disljenkovic, a 34-year-old account manager from Victoria, also expected to see a total stranger waiting for her at the end of the aisle. Instead, she was surprised to see her former flame, 39-year-old electrician Jeff Gobbels, staring back at her. The pair had dated briefly before, but, like Carina and Paul, they were happy to carry on with the experiment. 4 Jacqui Burfoot forgave Ryan Donnelly's dancefloor fail but she didn't forget First dance or dip? Let's face it: making your first dance truly unique is no easy feat – especially when most couples opt for an Ed Sheeran song. But groom Ryan Donnelly, a 36-year-old project manager from New South Wales, clearly wanted to make his mark. He certainly did – though not quite as planned. As he romantically twirled new bride Jacqui Burfoot, a 29-year-old consultant, around the dancefloor, Ryan attempted a ballroom-worthy dip. Unfortunately, his enthusiasm got the better of him and he ended up dropping Jacqui on her head. Ever the trooper, she laughed it off on the day like a true queen. However, it seems the moment wasn't forgotten, as she's since brought up the failed dip during an argument or two. 4 Jamie Marinos called out Tim Gromie's blame-game behaviour A moment for the girls It's safe to say that a good group of girls can bring the vibe to any function – and when times are tough, you know they have your back. This was definitely the case for MAFS Aus contestant Katie Johnston, a 37-year-old CEO from Queensland. After being matched with Tim, a 38-year-old primary school teacher from Victoria, the couple's relationship began rather turbulently as the groom admitted he felt 'no spark' with Katie and that she wasn't his 'type'. Following a very awkward honeymoon, the couple chose to arrive separately at the first dinner party with the rest of the contestants. Instead of admitting his part in the demise of their relationship, Tim proceeded to blame Katie and downplay his own behaviour to the rest of the group. Ultimate girls' girl and fellow contestant Jamie Marinos, 28, read the room and called Tim out for his 'gaslighting' behaviour after seeing how upset he had made Katie. The rest of her fellow female contestants followed suit, providing the comfort and hype Katie needed. While she may have not found love on the show, Katie found her besties in the girls instead. Photo challenge chaos It has to be one of our favourite challenges every year – and somehow, it just gets better. If your partner was ever asked to rank the most attractive person in a photo line-up, you'd definitely hope they'd put you first. Bride Jacqui thought so too. However, groom Ryan wasn't on the same wavelength and ranked fellow contestants Sierah Swepstone and Rhi Disljenkovic above her. Baffled by Jacqui's upset reaction, Ryan tried to make his excuses by telling her that he was just being honest – because of course that makes it all better. Meanwhile, a fellow contestant, 56-year-old DJ Morena Farina, took the challenge as an opportunity to judge the contestants not on their appearance but how they interacted with her personally. After all, it's not all about looks. Intimacy 101 It's clear that expert judge – and clinical sexologist – Alessandra Rampolla ramped up her flirty challenges during this year's intimacy week. From lingerie shopping to the girls having a fantasy night – where Morena treated herself to a Titanic-inspired painting session with groom Tony Mojanovski – everyone embraced their inner flirty natures. But it wasn't all about the sexy moments – this year's intimacy week also showcased the all-important vulnerability needed for a healthy, loving relationship. This included contestant Billy Belcher's heartfelt letter to his bride, Sierah, where he candidly reflected on his childhood and how his relationship with his father has affected him in past relationships. This year's contestants were definitely taught the importance of the layers of intimacy – and if they didn't quite understand, it was discussed on the commitment ceremony couch with the experts. 4 So whether your favourite moment this year has been the first-dance fails or the sisterhood bond, it's safe to say that all of these moments could only happen on MAFS Australia. For more unforgettable scenes and blossoming romances, stream the final dinner party and commitment ceremony on Channel 4 now.
