Adrian reveals what he really thinks of MAFS Australia villain Tim and…defends his actions?!

Adrian has spoken out about what he thinks of fellow MAFS Australia 2025 groom Tim Gromie, and appears to have defended his actions on the show. Tim quit the show alongside his bride Katie, after not putting in any effort to their marriage.

Tim has received loads of backlash since appearing on MAFS. He was called out for making comments about bride Katie’s appearance, constantly talking about a “lack of spark” and how his type was “petite blondes or brunettes”.

He was also accused of gaslighting, and his hypocrisy was made clear when Katie watched his audition tape, in which Tim claimed he’d give the experiment a go, even without an initial connection. She watched this alone from what was meant to be their shared apartment, when he didn’t even turn up to this part of the experiment.

Now, fellow groom Adrian has spoken out. He’s said Tim “didn’t deserve” the backlash he got. “Listen, me personally, I obviously know it’s just a TV show,” he told Daily Mail Australia. “I don’t think he deserves so much [backlash] because at the end of the day he is a real person with real feelings.”

Whilst defending Tim, Adrian said that he did dig a hole on the show, and needs to learn a lesson from it. He added: “Sometimes you dig your own hole, and you’ve got to lay in it. Maybe this is the universe teaching him a lesson.”

Adrian also spoke about his own marriage on the show, and said he has to lot to overcome with Awhina being a mother. We’ve seen this topic come up a lot between the pair, but Adrian said in the first commitment ceremony he was open to Awhina now, after learning more about her.

“If I fall in love with this girl, I fall in love with her son. If it doesn’t work out, then I lose two people that I love in life,” Adrian said. He also teased there’s a lot more in their story to come, and big dramas overall.

Adrian added: “Stay tuned, it just gets better. Watch me, keep an eye out for me and Awhina, and be prepared for the drama, get your popcorn ready.” I’m ready!
