Beware: This article contains spoilers for events that have aired on MAFS in Australia, but not in the UK yet

Literally every day there’s a new rumour circling around the aether about the MAFS Australia 2025 groom Adrian. In addition to his MAFS bride Awhina, various people have claimed something has been going on between Adrian and *takes deep breath*, another MAFS 2025 bride, a MAFS 2022 bride, and two other women. Here’s a handy cheat sheet to all the dating and relationship rumours about the MAFS Australia groom Adrian, to help you keep track of what is actually going on with him.

It sounds like the footsie incident we saw on TV was only the tip of the iceberg. Apparently Adrian and Sierah got to know each other really well during the first week the MAFS Australia cast were living in the apartments. They went on a night out together in Sydney, and stayed up late talking.

An insider told So Dramatic! that Sierah “showed Adrian a saucy video of herself doing something explicit in a compromising position. She showed him in a taxi, in the very first week of filming, during a night out.” This sex tape incident was cut from the show – perhaps because it was too much for a 7:30pm time slot?

Adrian and Sierah have denied cheating on Awhina and Billy.

Adrian was texting a former MAFS bride throughout the experiement

Remember Bronte Schofield? She was matched with Harrison in 2023.

Adrian was actually messaging Bronte while he was supposedly “married” to Awhina on MAFS. It’s been reported that the producers told him off for liking Bronte’s Instagram pictures while filming. Adrian told the Daily Mail : “She’s hot. She’s more my type, so of course I’m going to like her photos.”

Awhina’s sister Cleo accused Bronte of messaging Adrian. Bronte has now confirmed this really did happen. She told the Daily Mail: “I have literal receipts. Everyone’s saying I chased him, but it was him who chased me. He even admitted he wished he was matched with me instead of Awhina.”

She added: “But I never told Adrian to message me – that was all him.”

A few weeks ago, Bronte was spotted hanging out with Adrian and various other MAFS grooms at a beach club.

But Bronte has denied she’s in a relationship with Adrian from MAFS Australia now. A fan asked her on Instagram on 28th March if she was dating Adrian. Bronte responded: “Yes, we are madly in love and planning our June wedding. No, you moron.”

Another woman claims to have been in a relationship with Adrian while he was filming MAFS Australia?

The timeline here is confusing. But a woman called Geneva Drake claims Adrian told her he secretly broke up with Awhina not-long after they filmed the wedding. Geneva says she dated Adrian for six weeks.

She told the It’s A Lot podcast: “He said he and Awhina broke up right after the wedding and the producers were pulling the strings after that until the end (of filming the show).”

Geneva says Adrian and Awhina would “fake the storyline” and pretend to be a couple on the show.

Adrian hasn’t commented on these claims at all.

There were rumours he was dating someone else after the show

In February, someone told Yahoo they saw Adrian and an unknown brunette woman “looking very cosy together” at a bar in Sydney.

Adrian responded to this by claiming it was actually his twin brother James at the bar, who had changed his hair to look more like Adrian? He said: “I think people forget I have a twin brother and he is here in Sydney with me at the moment and he is single… Leading into the show, we sort of knew that this would happen so we decided to get the same haircut because people wouldn’t know the difference, especially now.”

However, the man in the photos appears to have tattoos that match up with Adrian’s, but not James’s. Honestly, it’s all a mystery.

Amazingly, the couple do make it to final vows. Then split up. Then straightaway afterwards, they hinted they weren’t calling it quits? They left the ceremony holding hands, told the producers they were going to give things a shot, and spent the evening together.

Adrian suggested to Yahoo that he and Awhina aren’t officially an item, but are still very close. He claimed they spoke at least every other day and were “heavily involved in each other’s lives”.  He said things aren’t more romantic between them because he didn’t want to move to Perth (where Awhina lives with her ex).

The pair did spend Valentine’s Day together in Melbourne this year? So who knows what will happen with them in the future.
