Is anyone else still wrapping their heads around the new Married At First Sight UK air days? We are so used to the weekday format that having a Thursday MAFS-less is taking us a second to remember. With this in mind, one person who didn't meet his match until the second week is MAFS UK 2025 groom, Paul Richardson.

At 60 years old, Paul is the oldest 2025 contestant, but that doesn't stop him from being 'full of energy' and 'often surprising his friends with his youthful approach to life.'

Paul was the last groom to tie the knot and has been matched with Anita Barker, a grandmother to three and a mother of two. Obviously, no one knows if Anita and Paul are still an item today and if the experts have FINALLY picked a suitable couple – guess we will have to watch the series to find out.

Paul divorced his partner in 2011 and has been single for fifteen years, he is hoping that the MAFS experts will find him someone who 'shares his love for life, as well as being outgoing and someone whom he can share his hobbies with.'
