Here we are again eagerly awaiting the premiere of Married At First Sight‘s eighth season.
That’s right, we’ve sat through eight seasons so far.
At this stage there are more seasons than there are successful couples.
We’re unpacking all the relationship, sex and dating wins and woes of this season’s Married At First Sight stars in our juicy new podcast, Love In Reality. Listen, like and subscribe below!
But, that abysmal success rate could be about to change.
Channel Nine is teasing this season as the biggest year of love yet.
Aside from the hopeful brides and grooms, another new face joins the show in MAFS expert, Alessandra Rampolla.
The Puerto Rican sexologist and TV presenter will be taking over after Dr Trisha Stratford announced her departure from the program back in September.
The stunning 46-year-old brunette will join the show’s existing experts John Aiken and Mel Schilling for the eighth season.
Let’s meet the fresh faced brides and grooms braving the aisle blind this year…
