A new series of Married At First Sight is sure to bring drama and shocking stories. This year’s Aussie show is no exception. One of the grooms involved in these cringe-worthy and often mind-blowing scenes (during the first half of the show anyway) is Ben Walters. That is when he's not trying to sell his podcast and talk about adventuring...

Leaving other couples and viewers thinking, ‘Did he really just say that?’ you could definitely say he is a main character on the show.

Along with the sorry songwriting, vanishing out of nowhere, and sitting his wife down for a good talking to, he’s been quite an unbelievable character (and not in a good way).

Oh yes, don’t forget the fact he confessed ‘fame would be a silver lining’ from being on the show, to his bride’s family... on their WEDDING DAY.

Still want to get to know him? Ok then hun, keep reading to see if Ben was more concerned about getting his podcast known than finding a true connection.

How old is Ben Walters?

He is 39 years old.

Where is Ben Walters from?

He is from New South Wales.

Ben has done some part-time work in the construction industry and he's a tour guide.

Are Ben Walters and Ellie Dix still together?

Unfortunately, not. After a rather unsettled (and most likely uncomfortable) time in the MAFS experiment, Ben and Ellie Dix called off their marriage officially during one of the show’s commitment ceremonies halfway through the series, when they both voted to leave.

What has Ben Walters said about the experiment?

Ben doesn’t seem shy when it comes to speaking out, (whether that be for better or worse). We’ve probably all seen the ‘dislikes’ list he made on his former MAFS partner, and since then, he has touched on his relationship breakdown.

He told Nine Entertainment, “For me, it was a lack of communication. It felt like it was just one-sided. For me, that was really challenging.”

Speaking on his experience, he said “Choosing to partake in the experiment was also to deep dive on who I am and what I want. It pushed me hard for some self-discovery… I can now say I’d like to start a family.”
