A search for love has seen the Married At First Sight contestants bare their souls on national television nearly every night, and at this point in the competition, we’ve heard about it all.

From Gabrielle’s tough time accepting her alopecia to Sarah and Telv sharing the intimate details of their love life, the juicy details of these expertly-matched(ish) couples’ lives have kept us hanging.

But if you’re hungering for more MAFS goss, these snaps of the brides and grooms before they were famous will keep you satisfied.

Keep an eye out for a young Ryan (who was just as cute as he is now) and Sean T’s impressive makeover.

Happy sliding!

The brides…

Ashley Irvin

The 28-year-old flight attendant from Brisbane shows off her athletic side.

Blair Rachael

The Bondi gal certainly embraced her boho lifestyle before entering the experiment! She once rocked shockingly pink hair before toning it back to blonde.

Carly Bowyer

32-year-old Carly kept it au naturel before she landed a spot on MAFS.

Charlene Perera

Young Charlene looks just as sweet as she is now!

Gabrielle Bartlett

The 44-year-old actress and model throws it back to her first gig on a short film.

Tracey Jewel

Tracey has held nothing back when it comes to sharing her plastic surgery journey. And the before and after pictures are incredible!

Sarah Roza

Sarah shared this adorable snap of her primary school self, proving her love of big hair hasn’t changed at all!

Alycia Galbraith

Perhaps the most dramatic transformation comes from 29-year-old Alycia. Earlier this year, she revealed her 42-kilogram weight-loss in the hope it will help people.

Davina Rankin

Before she joined the experiment, controversial contestant Davina rocked a lighter ‘do and modelled for Zoo.

Melissa

Journo Melissa sported a fuller fringe before joining MAFS.

The grooms…

Nasser Sultan

Self-confessed Casanova, Nasser, rocked longer locks during his rock ‘n’ roll days.

Troy Delmege

Pre-MAFS Troy is almost unrecognisable with his gelled hair. Will his new look launch him into the presenting career he’s pursuing?

Dean Wells

It seems young Dean was more interested in hanging with Croc Dundee than breaking hearts.

Ryan Gallagher

29-year-old Ryan was just as cheeky as a kid as he is now.

Mat Lockett

Then-to-now, Mat hasn’t changed a bit!

Telv Williams

A tattoo-free Telv looks like another person in this throwback snap!

Sean Thomsen

Was a quick lesson in hair-styling responsible for Sean’s transformation into a serial heart-breaker?

Patrick Miller

Good guy Patrick clearly hasn’t changed, revealing his close relationship with his mother in a throwback picture captioned, “From the mountains of Ifugao to the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, through thick and thin she’s always been there for me.” Aww!
