Revealed: This is the date who stood up Jamie on MAFS, and the real reason he was a no-show

Jamie was heartbreakingly stood up by her backup groom during MAFS Australia 2025 final test week. She and Dave have had a rocky few weeks, and she decided to take up the chance to go and meet another person the experts deemed her compatible with.

Whilst Dave waited at home and turned down the chance, Jamie headed out. She sipped wine at the table, and that was about it. After waiting for what seemed like forever, a producer came over and said her date could no longer make it. They didn’t have a reason for why Jamie had been stood up, and she called it deeply embarrassing that her being left alone in a bar had been televised for all to see. You had to feel for her, you really did.

But – fear not. Since the show, insiders have dished all about who Jamie’s date really was. They’ve also shared why he didn’t bother to show up for his date. His name is Tyson Fievez, and he’s a Melbourne-based plumber and influencer. Tyson is also a model signed with Brooklyn MGMT, and has a big TikTok following.

It seems Tyson had second thoughts about his involvement on MAFS Australia, and that’s why he stood up Jamie. He pulled out of their date very last minute.

A source close to production told Daily Mail Australia: “Tyson was on standby and flew into Sydney for filming. But after hearing that he would be ruining their marriage, he had second thoughts. He didn’t want to be the guy to interfere. In the end, he pulled out last minute and chose not to show up — leaving Jamie standing there.”

Tyson has appeared to poke fun at the fact he stood Jamie up on MAFS, posting a picture of himself on Instagram with a friend after the show aired. “A date I showed up for,” he captioned the photo. It maybe didn’t land as well as he thought, as one reply said: “She had a lucky escape then.”

I don’t think we should be too sad though, Jamie seems pretty loved up with Eliot now.
