The experts are useless, so I asked ChatGPT who should’ve been matched on MAFS UK

It agrees with the experts that one surprising couple is a perfect match


So, we can all agree that some of the 2025 MAFS UK couples have been mismatched. From a loud and proud feminist getting matched with a guy who described himself as “traditional”, to, well, Sarah and Dean’s entire relationship, it’s been pretty chaotic. I decided to ask ChatGPT who it thinks the best MAFS matches would be from this season – and it got surprisingly messy.

Dean and… Anita

ChatGPT decided that intruder Anita and MAFS cast-favourite Dean would be the perfect match. Dean’s relationship with Sarah has been rocky from the start, and Sarah’s comments about his appearance has gained her criticism from Dean’s friends, family, the viewers and even the experts.

When asked why they would be a great match, ChatGPT said: “If I have to pick one person from the current cast who I think might actually work better with Dean, I’d lean toward Anita. She seems adventurous, open to new things, and might enjoy the kind of fun and performance that Dean naturally gives. They might be able to build attraction based more on shared joy, rather than matching physical ‘types’.”

Sarah and…Ashley

After Dean runs off with Anita, ChatGPT thinks Ashley would be the perfect match for Sarah.

“He’s confident, mature, calm under pressure, and brings enough ‘masculine energy’ and backbone to stand up to her — but without being controlling or emotionally intense like Dean,” it said.

Steven and…Maeve

Steven and Nelly’s relationship so far this season has been argument after argument – not even mentioning his off-screen scandals. ChatGPT thinks he would be a much better match with Maeve.

“She likely has the emotional maturity to handle difficulties without being easily overwhelmed. She may be more forgiving or patient in conflict, but also strong enough to push back when needed.” it said.

ChatGPT added: “It might bring steadiness and depth to counteract Steven’s volatility. She may respect that he has children and show empathy toward his parental responsibilities.”

Nelly and…Joe

According to ChatGPT, Nelly and Maeve should just switch husbands and try again. When asked why they would be a good pair, ChatGPT didn’t hold back.

“She’s confident, outspoken, emotionally intelligent — and Joe (a personal trainer) seems grounded, fun, and emotionally open enough to handle her fire without being controlling. They’d balance each other well: she brings spark, he brings steadiness. Could be a slow burn, but strong long-term potential.”

Julia Ruth with…Divarni!

The experts and ChatGPT actually agreed on one couple being a strong match! Even though they’ve been having issues since their honeymoon and into in-laws week, AI thinks we shouldn’t lose hope.

“They’re both creative (she’s a dancer, he’s a musician), emotionally driven, and likely value depth, empathy, and ambition. He’s a dad, so her grounded nature and emotional maturity would complement that well. They’d connect on passion, purpose, and vulnerability,” it said.

Grace with…Dean

Dean’s the catch this season according to ChatGPT! As well as Anita, it also thinks Grace would pair well with the London-based groom.

“They’re the same age, both value humour, and Grace’s confident, independent nature could balance Dean’s romantic, expressive personality. If she’s open to his quirks, they could bring out the best in each other — fun, emotional connection, and genuine affection.”
