Awhina reveals the secret texts she’s sent to backup groom Tim since MAFS Australia date

This is JUICY


Bride Awhina has revealed texts she sent to her backup groom Tim following their date on MAFS Australia 2025. During the experiment, the participants were offered a date with someone who the experts also thought they were compatible with. Both Awhina and her groom Adrian went ahead with the offer.

Awhina seemed to get on with her backup match, Tim. But when she returned to groom Adrian and found out he’d been on his date too, said she regretted it. She felt she and Adrian had failed their relationship, by both going on dates with other people.

That being said, Awhina has spilled all on some secret texts she shared with Tim, after their date on MAFS Australia. “Tim and I have had a conversation since [meeting on the show], only after the actual episode aired two days ago,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle. “Watching that back, he was such a beautiful person, and I remember that whole day, he was actually so kind and caring.”

Sharing what their conversation involved, she added: “I just reached out to him and I said, ‘Hey, I really appreciate meeting you. You’re very kind and I really hope that from your little cameo on MAFS that you’ve got heaps of people from the Gold Coast sliding into your DMs. You are a really great guy and it was really nice to meet you’.”

She clarified that whilst she thinks Tim is a “genuinely kind person”, their relationship is “purely platonic” at the moment. Tim has also opened up about messaging Awhina after the show. He said they sent “a few texts back and forth” and are planning to meet up again soon!

“We agreed that if I’m in Perth anytime soon, I’ll let her know and we can grab a coffee,” he said. “It was great to hear from her and to chat about our experience on the date together, as after the date I got taken out by the producers, and that was it.”

Could this develop into more of a thing? Maybe Awhina should consider it more, because there have been rumours Adrian cracked on with his backup bride Maxine after the show, too. What a mess!
