Not all of Carina’s MAFS final vows made it to air because they were ‘too distressing’ for TV

‘Even members of the production team were in tears’


It turns out not all of the final vows between Carina and Paul made it to air on MAFS Australia 2025. Despite us seeing her well and truly sock it to Paul in a brutal blow, there was even more. This didn’t make it into the final episode, as the show deemed it too much.

In their final vows, Paul made it very clear he wanted to continue things with Carina outside the experiment. However, she reeled off everything that had gone wrong in their relationship, and ultimately said the trust was gone.

“You had me. I was yours. I gave you all of me. I showed you parts of myself I’d hidden for so long. I let you in… I let myself believe in you again,” she said. She then spoke about him going on a date during final test week, and how that “ruined” their relationship. Carina ended with: “You’re going to have to live with that regret for the rest of your life. Goodbye, Paul.”

According to Daily Mail Australia, more was said that didn’t make it to air. “You made me feel small. You made me feel unsafe. You made me feel like I was not enough,” Carina said.

“When you punched the door because of something I said… when you exposed my private comments to Awhina and the group… when you went on that plan B date and said you were ‘just curious’… That was the moment I realised — you haven’t grown. You haven’t changed. You don’t deserve me.”

There was more that went down after the vows were over, too. We saw Paul break down, and go and take a moment with a producer. He told the producer he hoped Carina would forgive him, and there might still be a future.

According to Daily Mail Australia, Carina also cried after the vows – which we didn’t see. A reporter who was on the set revealed Paul was “trembling”. They added: “They hugged it out briefly, and Paul clung to her like a man on the edge of a cliff, whispering something into her ear. Carina gently pushed him away.”

The insider said the scenes became “so raw and distressing, not everything will make it to air.” They added: “Even members of the production team were in tears.” A producer said: “It was the most real thing I’ve ever seen on this show. We were all holding our breath.”
