Alessandra Rampolla is gearing up for the next season of Married at First Sight Australia like the rest of us and the clinical sexologist told WHO that fans should buckle up for some “fiery sexual chemistry” between the brides and grooms this year.
Alessandra Rampolla is one of three experts helping the contestants navigate their marriages with strangers and she said sparks (and the odd “explosion”) are flying this time round.
What did Alessandra Rampolla say about MAFS 2026?
Sharing an insight into the pre-recorded reality show, the sexologist reveals she was “kept on her toes” by all of the contestants this year.
“It’s consistently explosive throughout the season because different people explode at different moments,” she tells WHO. “We don’t really get much of a break on the drama.”
She then quips: “An explosion to the left, an explosion to the right, there’s a backdrop explosion at the same time. How do the cameras get it all – it’s crazy.”
Alessandra also teases there were strong connections blossoming.
“We had a lot of fiery, really good sexual chemistry with some of the couples, which I always strive for,” she says. “And, I’m going to call it, there is some love in there.”
Did Alessandra Rampolla agree with all of the final MAFS 2026 matches?
As if pairing brides and grooms wasn’t tough enough, Rampolla and her fellow experts, John Aiken and Mel Schilling, have to form a united front when it comes to their advice to the couples.
However, this isn’t always possible, according to the sexologist.
“I don’t always agree with the final matches. We all give our opinion but sometimes theirs are different to mine,” she tells WHO.
Reiterating that she really respects both of the other therapist’s views, she adds that she just has to put her “best foot forward and help them navigate the experience.”
She also explains that they only watch the dinner party clips as it helps to keep the client/therapist relationship more genuine.
“We’re just hearing their accounts, not necessarily actually sitting down with popcorn watching the conflict, which is what audiences get to do,” she explains.
