Who are Awhina and Adrian?

Awhina, a 30-year-old aged care worker from Perth, is a single mum to a six-year-old son. After spending 15 years with her high school sweetheart, she stepped back from dating to focus on raising her child. Now, she’s ready to find love again—someone who fits into her tight-knit family, including her twin sister and best friend, Cleo.

Adrian, a 30-year-old e-commerce business owner from Sydney, is confident, charming, and self-assured. He prides himself on his looks and personality and he’s spent years building his business. Now, he’s hoping to slow down and find a bride who’s ready for a romantic and simple life.

Oh, and they both happen to be twins—an instant connection that sets the tone for their wedding day.

Inside Awhina and Adrian’s wedding day

Awhina is instantly smitten with Adrian, even joking that he’s too hot for her and struggling to make eye contact during her vows. Meanwhile, Adrian impresses her with his heartfelt words—before cheekily dropping that he has a six-month-old… Aussie shepherd. The joke lands well, but it also throws Awhina into a panic, knowing she has a real bombshell to share.

At the reception, Awhina’s nerves grow as she tries to find the right moment to tell Adrian about her son. Unfortunately, before she can get the words out, her mum and stepdad beat her to it during their speeches.

Cue instant panic.

Awhina immediately pulls Adrian aside, apologizing for the blindside. But Adrian’s response is icy—he admits he doesn’t know how he feels about dating someone with a child, revealing that it’s “not ideal” and that he’d always imagined experiencing parenthood for the first time with his partner.

Are Awhina and Adrian still together?

After the tense moment, Awhina confides in her friends, making it clear that her son comes first—and that maybe Adrian should be worried about whether he’s good enough for her little family. Meanwhile, Adrian talks things through with his sisters and decides to keep an open mind, admitting that there’s something about Awhina that makes him want to see where this could go.

And despite the initial friction, the morning after their wedding is surprisingly smooth. They didn’t stop talking all night, and both admit they feel comfortable with each other. The experts believe this could be a “fiery and passionate” relationship—but will Adrian truly be open to Awhina’s life as a mum?

With sparks and drama from the start, this is definitely one couple to watch.
