Omg! Tim is using a fake name on MAFS Australia, and wait until you hear his reason

It looks like Tim’s days on MAFS Australia are numbered after he refused to move into the apartments with Katie, but did you know the groom is actually using a fake name on the show?!

The name he’s using is Tim Gromie, and a source told Daily Mail Australia this is an alias to protect his job as a PE teacher at a primary school. Gromie is actually one of his middle names, and his real name is Timothy Andrews.

It clearly didn’t work, because Tim has allegedly lost his job because of how badly he came across on the series. How ironic! One of his groomsmen, Luke Stapleton, claimed he got the sack in a podcast episode with So Dramatic!, although he hasn’t confirmed this himself.

“He was really concerned about how being on the show would affect his career,” the source said. “He saw what happened to past participants like Olivia Frazer and Alyssa Barmonde. He didn’t want to be in a situation where his professional life was ruined because of a reality TV edit.”

“He was already warned that being linked to MAFS could make it hard for him to get hired again, so he pushed for a name change to keep some distance between his TV persona and real-life profession”

“Tim has seen how brutal the MAFS audience can be. Contestants can go in thinking they’ll be portrayed fairly, but if they’re given a bad edit their whole life can be derailed. He didn’t want to risk being typecast as the villain and then struggle to rebuild his career once the cameras stopped rolling.”

After filming the show, he has deleted all of his social media profiles and is refusing interviews, and a source told Yahoo Lifestyle: “Tim is really fearful the show is going to affect his employment as a primary school teacher, that’s why he’s deleted all socials, is refusing to do interviews and wants nothing to do with it.”

The truth of the MAFS groom’s real identity was actually uncovered by a viewer on TikTok, who also happened to be a private investigator and works at the Australian firm Venus Investigations.

In a now-viral video, she said: “I just did a deep dive on Tim on MAFS and there is something really weird going on. Before the show began Channel Nine put up contestant bios for everyone featured.”

“Tim was there, but he was listed as Tim Andrews. Nine updated the bios and we can see the difference in the lingering Google data. He is now referred to as Tim Gromie and the media is referring to him as that which is a little odd, right?”

The private investigator checked the Victoria Teachers Registry and found that there was no Tim Gromie, but there was a Timothy Andrews.

“He must be registered, but I looked it up and no Tim Gromie appears. But when I put in Timothy Andrews someone does appear! Weird, right? It’s all just a bit off, like what is this guy trying to hide?” she added.
