Every year, we declare that love is dead and that we are never going to watch Married at First Sight Australia again.
And then, the following day, deep in MAFS-withdrawals, we declare that we cannot wait for a new season! And so, the cycle begins again.
While many a joke has been made about the men and women who sign up for the relationship experiment, we swooned when 2026 groom Grayson McIvor was matched with Julia Vogl.
And he truly believes the show will lead him to the love of his life…because it already worked for his best friend!
Why does Grayson believe in MAFS?
Remember the absolutely ADORABLE Johnny and Kerry from season 8?
Well, 34-year-old Grayson is Johnny’s bestie, so he knows firsthand how effective MAFS can be (Johnny and Kerry are happily married and have a very cute bébé!).
Who is Grayson McIvor?
Hailing from Queensland, Grayson McIvor is a company director who always strives to be his best self.
Growing up, Grayson had high hopes for an AFL career, but this was devastatingly sidelined by a series of serious injuries.
Bereft, he fell into a party-boy lifestyle and is the first to admit that, in the past, he has been a bona fide “bad boy.”
Ultimately, though, Grayson realised that he was feeling empty inside and he needed to make a change and grow up.
What is Grayson looking for in a wife?
A true family man, Grayson considers his parents his best friends, so it stands to reason that he is looking for a woman who shares his family values.
Grayson’s biggest dream is to have a family of his own one day, and wants a partner who is confident, natural, warm and adventurous.
As someone who is a deep thinker and also fiercely loyal, Grayson is putting all of his hopes into the MAFS experts so that he might end up as happy as his bestie.
