Who are Ashleigh and Jake?

Jake, a high school PE teacher from Western Australia, is full of energy, quirkiness, and a love for karaoke and anime. He’s had two serious relationships in the past, including a decade-long romance and a short-lived engagement, but now he’s ready to find the one—someone who can match his playful nature while also being open and emotionally available.

Enter Ashleigh, a dance studio owner from Queensland, who describes herself as a “big kid” with a heart full of love to give. As a MAFS superfan, she’s no stranger to the drama of the experiment but is hoping her match is more about romance than chaos. At 34, she’s ready to settle down and start a family and needs someone who will be kind, fun, and up for life’s adventures.

Inside Ashleigh and Jake’s wedding day

On their wedding day, Jake is a bundle of nerves—obsessing over a bad hair day and even mistaking the maid of honour for his bride. But the moment he locks eyes with Ashleigh, all his worries melt away. “She’s gorgeous…like wow,” he gushes, before taking note of her “lovely smile.”

For Ashleigh, it’s an instant attraction too. She’s drawn to his warm energy, calling him “beautiful” and admitting that “first impressions are ticking all the boxes.” Their families are equally convinced, pointing out how similar they are—both big-hearted, fun-loving, and ready to settle down.
