He’s back! Tim Gromie reactivated his Instagram with a savage message about his MAFS experience
His bio is now a direct message to viewers
Tim Gromie, the man, the myth, the reality TV cautionary tale, is once again back on Instagram after earlier deleting his online presence following a disastrous few weeks on MAFS Australia.
It’s easy to forget that Tim was on season 12 of MAFS Australia, 1) because he was only on there for a few episodes, and 2) because we’ve all collectively chosen to block him from our minds. He was married to sweetheart Katie Johnston in those first few episodes, but almost immediately after getting hitched, Tim was seemingly put off marrying anyone who wasn’t a short, petite blonde. In the subsequent dinner parties and commitment ceremonies, Tim continued to dig himself a deeper hole by claiming Katie was the one not giving the marriage a real shot.
After leaving his wife high and dry and ditching the experiment entirely, Tim deactivated his social media profiles and refused to do interviews – until now. Though it’s not clear when MAFS’ Tim Gromie reactivated his profiles, it’s now fully up and running but set to private. Count yourself lucky, though, as a peek inside shows Tim hasn’t posted on it since 2024.
Even if you aren’t lucky enough to be let past the gates of his Instagram profile, you might spot a savage message in his bio.
“Just because you watched it on a reality TV show, doesn’t mean it’s real…The truth was a whole different storyline…” he said in the only update he’s posted since MAFS Australia.

Back in January, three months after filming had wrapped from MAFS Australia season 12, Tim Gromie deleted his socials and didn’t turn up for press photo day over being “fearful” about his job as a primary school teacher.
“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. He feels he was stitched up from the start and is now just trying to get through it with minimal damage to his career and reputation,” one source told Yahoo Lifestyle.
Another added: “He isn’t going to come out of this very well at all, especially after the first dinner party.”
He’s been eerily silent ever since, besides a moment when MAFS viewers thought they spotted him shopping in February. He was carrying an iced coffee after shopping at Rebel Sport, but literally nothing else is known about his life post-MAFS.
