MAFS 2025: Bride Lauren Hall gets a second chance at love after original match Eliot Donovan abruptly quit the series during their honeymoon

As a seasoned observer of reality television, I must say that the latest installment of Married at First Sight (MAFS) is shaping up to be quite the spectacle. With six participants already calling it quits within the first two weeks, it’s clear that this year’s cast is not for the faint-hearted.


A bride from the TV show “Married at First Sight” gets another chance for romance, as her initial husband abruptly left only two days into their honeymoon.

The Daily Mail Australia has announced that Lauren Hall, previously married to Eliot Donovan from the Gold Coast, will reappear on the show next year as a surprise bride in the upcoming 2025 season.

Last Friday, it was observed that Lauren was capturing moments at a second wedding in Sydney, alongside golf professional Clint Rice.

It is said that they got along splendidly right from the start, fueling speculation that Lauren’s challenging experience in the show might culminate in a positive resolution.

On Monday, the newlyweds were spotted arriving for their first dinner party hand in hand.

An insider close to Lauren revealed that the 36-year-old was thrilled with her new match.

‘She was absolutely delighted with Clint,’ the source shared.

He fits her ideal perfectly – older, wiser, financially well-off, and someone with clear ambitions. The moment they met, Lauren felt a strong affinity towards him, and she’s optimistic about the prospects of their relationship now.

Originating from Launceston, Tasmania, Rice has just concluded a long-standing relationship, providing him an opportunity to join the popular reality show.

44-year-old golfer, renowned for his serene temperament and passion for nature, proved an unexpected yet fitting companion for Lauren.

Friends of Clint portray him as exceptionally laid-back and genuinely humble, traits that instantly endeared him to the show’s creators.

A close friend of the golfer commented that Clint is the type of individual who speaks eloquently, is always ready for a fun experience, and truly authentic.

He’s a sociable individual who easily connects with people, and he’s treating this chance at finding love with great care and sincerity.

Daily Mail Australia reported that Eliot made preparations to leave and purchase a ticket back home, prior to the ink from their wedding certificate drying.

Insiders claim that Donovan found the demands of the show stressful and was often swamped by its fast-moving nature.

‘Eliot just wasn’t ready for the intensity of it all,’ a source close to the groom revealed.

Initially, he believed he could handle it, but when they started their honeymoon, the situation grew overwhelming, leading him to choose to leave.

Photographs snapped by Daily Mail Australia on August 6 captured the MAFS team hastily attempting to protect Lauren, who arrived alone for the initial dinner party, from the surrounding chaos.

The first commitment ceremony also saw a shocking mass exodus, with three couples calling it quits within the first two weeks of filming in an ‘unheard of’ twist.

A source revealed that with six team members absent and just two weeks passed, the remaining colleagues are under immense stress, leading to significant tension among them.

The actors appear to be split on the subject of the departures, with some feeling relieved about the exit of individuals they considered ‘difficult’ or ‘problematic’, whereas others are enraged by it.

Introducing fresh faces Clint and Lauren, along with established duo Teejay Halkias and Bethy Kelly – who exchanged vows in scenes captured on Tuesday – as our unexpected participants.

In the midst of all the commotion, Daily Mail Australia has disclosed a fresh piece of information: The latest group of interlopers were admitted under one firm rule – they are expected to stir up the tension and add more excitement.

Each of these individuals was carefully selected because they have the ability to create a sensation amongst the current couples, as it was disclosed by an inside source, following the sudden departure of six contestants.

From the beginning, they were informed that it was essential for them to build suspense and maintain a steady stream of excitement.

In the previous season, I was part of the audience, and I remember that out of the three intruding couples, two didn’t manage to make it to the end. They surprisingly decided to call it quits early during the experiment, after only a few days.

Producers are emphasizing that they aim to avoid a scenario similar to Ash from Galati and Maddy from Maxwell, where both individuals ended their partnership and their relationship within just three days.

Have your say

Instead of letting history repeat, the show’s creators are giving it their all this time to ensure a different outcome.

In the midst of filming in Sydney, Season 12 is experiencing an unusually high number of contestant departures – a total of six within just the initial fortnight. The remaining participants have been advised to prepare for a rough ride.

The source mentioned that, despite not developing a romantic connection, they were requested to continue working together until the conclusion of filming.

‘The producers want them to keep the drama alive no matter what.’ 

Under a tight set of rules, there have apparently caused some heated and passionate arguments, as the trespassers are resolute about leaving their imprint.

Instead of steamy relationships and surprising deceit, the fresh faces bring about changes in the way the group interacts, touching upon every aspect.
