Who is Divarni from Married at First Sight UK 2025?
Divarni is a 29-year-old musician from London with an impressive background in acting.
The self-proclaimed ladies’ man enjoys writing poetry and watching Marvel movies.
But he doesn’t just watch Marvel movies as the 29-year-old had an acting role in The Marvels released in 2023.
He has also featured in Netflix shows Half bad, Riches and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story and has also appeared on reality TV before.
In 2021, he starred on ITV’s Dinner Date under the stage name Ashley and competed for a date with Towie star Chloe Brockett.
Unfortunately, Chloe didn’t end up picking the musician for a date, but the star took to social media to thank the show. He said: “What a time! Thank you Celebrity Dinner Date for this opportunity!”
After being single for two years, Divarni is looking for someone with a “big smile and nice eyes” and would be particularly won over if his partner was quirky and intellectual.
The experts have paired him with Julia-Ruth Smith who once worked as a backing dancer for rapper 50 Cent.
