MARRIED At First Sight fans are convinced there’s a cast feud brewing after spotting a key “giveaway.”
The E4 matchmaking series has reached a milestone in the 2025 season with the first dinner party playing out on screen.
Loyal Married At First Sight fans will know the meals – featuring all the brides and grooms coming together – are a VERY boozy affair with secrets spilled and arguments a-plenty.
Now they have called out a potential cast feud involving Julia Ruth, who has had a rocky ride with husband Divarni.
Previous scenes on the series showed the bride kicking her groom out of their suite after an explosive clash during their Honeymoon.
And her emotions came to the fore as she started to sob during the dinner party itself.
At the table, she started to cry as she told him: “You are very negative.”
Seconds later she was seen crouching on the floor in floods of tears saying: “I just wanted someone genuine.”
As well as her personal turmoil, fans reckon she has bad blood with some of the cast who have seemingly found much better matches.
One took to social media to write: “Unless it’s the camera angle or edit, Julia Ruth doesn’t look pleased for those who are happy. Still neither does Sarah.”
A second put: “They both feel ‘short’ changed, alongside Anita and Leigh I suspect.”
A third mused: “Made worse when all of the others appear to have more appropriate matches than her…in her eyes at least.”
It remains to be seen how her feelings will play out when it comes to the commitment ceremony.
FAN PLEA
Meanwhile, fans have already begged Julia Ruth to “run away” from her spouse – after he performed a song to her to try to smooth things over.
The couple got off to an extremely rocky beginning, with Julia-Ruth refusing to even fall asleep in the same room as her husband after finding out about his promiscuous past.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
Yet they also reckon “something happened” off-screen after the pair appeared to “switch in behaviour” following tense scenes.
They reckon drama struck in between the wedding ceremony – where
Viewers took to social media to share their theories – saying “it doesn’t make sense” and we must have “missed something”.
One wrote: “Something has happened between Julia-Ruth and Divarni that we haven’t seen because that switch in behaviour?”
A second posted: “I think something is off with Julia-Ruth, I can’t put my finger on it.”
MAFS UK is available for viewing on E4.
