Although the show is called Married at First Sight, the contestants sometimes seem to misunderstand that to mean ‘marry whoever you see at first sight.’ The amount of couple swapping in the show is staggering, with JJ Slater and Ella Morgan ditching their respective brides and grooms to be together on MAFS UK 2023.
This scandal paled in comparison to the Jessika Power and Dan Webb affair on MAFS Australia and while this shocked viewers, it was nothing compared to Dan’s ‘wife’ at the time, Tamara Joy.
So, who is Tamara Joy, and what has she been up to since the show ended?

Who was Tamara Joy married to on Married at First Sight Australia?

However, the marriage broke down when it was revealed that Dan had been secretly meeting up with another bride in the experiment, Jessika. This all came to a head in a now infamous commitment ceremony where Dan and Jessika’s betrayal was revealed.
