Reality TV was only the beginning…

Contestants on Married at First Sight take part in the show months in advance, but it’s not always an indication of where they are now.

Some are lucky enough to walk away finding the love of their life, and others leave without it, but instead with a deeper understanding of themselves.

But there’s also another part to being on one of Australia’s most-watched reality shows – exposure.

We all know the drill by now 12 seasons in – brides and grooms make the most of their time on the show, to establish lucrative careers.

Whether it’s establishing their own businesses, going on other shows, or securing collaborations with brands, some contestants embrace it.

Even though season 12 is over, it seems some are already embracing their newfound fame!

Find out below about all of the MAFS cast members, and what they are up to now.

Tony Mojanovski

Tony was rushed into emergency surgery in Wollongong on April 24 after he suffered a heart attack.

“Last week I had a bit of a scare and I just wanted to say a big thank you to the people of Wollongong Hospital, the people in the cardiac division, they’ve been absolutely amazing,” Tony said in a post. His fellow co-star Ryan Donnelly also paid him a visit.

Prior to this, Ryan hinted on Instagram that Tony was busy making merchandise.

In the photo posted in March, his shirt says “Tony Time”, which became his catchphrase when he wanted alone time in his marriage with Morena.

It’s not the first time Tony has mentioned creating merchandise, so perhaps we will find out more soon!

Jacqui Burfoot

While the show has been airing, Jacqui has been busy spilling lots of MAFS behind-the-scenes secrets on her @jacquelineleejewellery Instagram account.

One has been that she’s now in a committed relationship and engaged to groom Clint Rice!

The account also promotes her jewellery brand called Jacqueline Lee, which sells “timeless, everyday essentials – designed to be lived in”.

Along with the jewellery brand, the bride is also on Cameo, now charging $54.60 per video. According to the Cameo leader board, she’s listed as one of the top creators, ranked 56th.

While she has been doing this, she also told SkyNews.com.au that she did not return to her job as a lawyer since the show aired in January, because of the mental toll it took on her.

“I essentially left my job after I tried to go back to work because I was mentally distressed and couldn’t work,” she said.

“I’ve been unable to continue my career… I’ve been left to fend on my own, basically.”

Clint Rice

While he’s been happy with Jacqui, Clint, who came in as an intruder, is also on Cameo.

On the platform, where people request personalised videos, he was charging $29.64.

Rhi Disljenkovic

Rhi has been spotted sporting Samaralovesus lingerie on the business’s Instagram page!

While it hasn’t been tagged as a paid post, and the bride’s account is not tagged, it could hint at a future partnership.

She also told Yahoo Lifestyle that she’d be interested in competing on The Block in the future with Jeff.

After leaving the show, the couple has also collaborated with the Greyhound Adoption Program. According to reports, they have adopted a dog!

Jeff also told Yahoo Lifestyle he was an avid fan of The Block and would consider going on the show in the future.

He said his time on MAFS was positive, and he enjoyed working with Channel Nine.

Beth Kelly

Beth has become a fan-favourite on MAFS, even when the show has been airing in the UK.

When asked by Yahoo Lifestyle if she would appear on the English version of the show, if she was asked.

“Of course I f**king would! Why not?” she said. “I’ve obviously not been able to find myself an Australian lad, so I may as well go back to my home roots and try and find a Brit. Sign me up!

“I would love to do it. I’d do it in a heartbeat.”

She is also being privately managed by talent manager Rianne Barbieri. According to the Social Diary Weekly newsletter released in April, the MAFS bride looks forward to sharing lifestyle, beauty, and fashion content.
