Which Contestants are still friends from MAFS 2024?
For some, like Sara and Lauren, it's clear the experiment saw them become true friends. Scroll through Sara's Instagram account and it's clear the two have hung out since filming the show last year and even went on a girl's trip to Bali together!
For others like Ellie and Ash, fans have spotted them spending time together since their respective relationships ended on the show.
Are Ash and Nat Dating?
“Nat is a very, very beautiful person. I wish her all the best in life, but we're just friends,” Ash told Yahoo Lifestyle after dating rumours emerged. “But yeah, I hope she finds love and she absolutely deserves it.”
“We are friends. He’s an interesting guy and seems very down to earth,” Ellie revealed in her own interview with the publication.
“I met him the first time at the reunion and enjoyed getting to chat to him about his turbulent MAFS experience. Then I hadn’t seen him until the show started airing and [there was] certainly a friendly vibe. Hopefully, I will catch him at the next event we are both invited to.”
Lucinda took to Instagram to share how close she and fellow MAFS bride Andrea during the experiment.
"I changed my flight to Byron Bay right after leaving the experiment and headed straight to Andi’s place on the Sunshine Coast," she shared with followers. "What an amazing time we had, talking day and night, dining, going to the beach, doing our hair, giggling, and just being silly soul sisters ✨"
"Andi has been there for me since the hens night, and I adore her!" she continued. "Andi~ you’re incredibly beautiful, both inside and out! You’re a quirky, kind, and a creative soul, just my type of sweetheart."
"Thank you for welcoming me into your beautiful boho beach shack and embracing me with open arms, angel. You feel like home after this unique experience we shared. Love you!"
Are Timothy and Andrea Dating?
After a video on a MAFS gossip Instagram page hinted at a post-show romance between Andrea and Timothy (who watched the reunion episode together), the 51-year-old bride has spoken to New Idea.
Describing their relationship as simply “beautiful friends," she shut down relationship rumours.
“There's nothing romantic there,” she told the publication. “I adore him, and he adores me.” Adding, “He’s been a rock to me at times.”
During the interview, she also revealed that the “best part of the experiment” for her had been the friends that she left with.
“The people with kind hearts found each other in the experiment which has been really special."
Is Tori in contact with anyone from MAFS?
Despite being close to a number of contestants early in the season - particularly with Lauren - the end of the season saw Tori confirm she would hang out with "none" of the contestants after the experiment.
Audiences witnessed Tori and Lauren's friendship disintegrate during a tense dinner party, with Lauren pointing out that Tori was the only contestant not to reach out to her during her surgery.
"I'm going to be f***ing real with you all," Tori declared at the table, as their argument reached a boiling point. "After this, [there is] no one at this table...I would want to spend time with after this experiment. None."
"I just can't believe she would say something that cruel," Laren told the cameras after the tense conversation. "It's not good...my friendship with Tori is completely fractured."
So is this the end of one of the strongest friendships of the season? Will Tori stay true to her word and not contact her fellow contestants after filming? We'll have to wait till and see!
Are Lauren and Eden Friends?
Despite appearing friendly during the season, it appears Lauren and Eden's relationship has hit a speedbump of late.
Yahoo reported that Eden, Lauren and Jayden were all enjoying a night out together before Eden headed home.
“Jayden wasn’t talking to Eden at all which was very noticeable and made everyone feel uncomfortable, so she decided to go home when they went from one club to another,” a source told the publication.
“At the next venue, Jayden and Lauren arrived arm in arm and were very close the whole night. She was all over him, but he was definitely enabling it.”
Eden spoke with the Daily Mail, slamming the pair's behaviour as "disrespectful."
"I think both of their behaviour on that night was quite disrespectful of me," she told the outlet. "It felt almost a little bit intentional from Lauren's half to hurt my feelings, and maybe Jayden as well."
Labelling the behaviour as "inappropriate and a bit trashy," she continued: "I feel a little bit embarrassed by it if I'm being completely honest. However, I think it's more embarrassing for them than it is for me."
Lauren has also spoken out about the "drama," downplaying the footage and brushing off any romance rumours. "I'm definitely not making a move on Jayden. Not Jayden, the kid's about six years younger than me, and he's just, he's not for me," she said. "And he's with Eden, apparently."
