The Married At First Sight franchise is without a doubt one of the most dramatic reality TV series out there and none more so than Married At First Sight Australia. There's just something about that accent that makes all the chaos of the show 100 per cent more explosive.

With another series of the Aussie show airing later this month Down Under - and therefore, hopefully hitting our screens in the UK in the not-too-distant future - we've been thinking about some the brides and grooms from last series like Melinda Willis, Harrison Boon and Alyssa Barmonde, and what they're up to a year on from their rise to fame.

One of the most popular brides from the series is Evelyn Ellis, who'd already experienced the highs and lows of reality TV when she appeared on the seventeenth series of Big Brother UK.

During her time on Married At First Sight, Evelyn was matched up with Rupert Bugden. However, things didn’t work out and, as diehard MAFS fans will know, Evelyn is now dating co-star Duncan James.

If you want to know more about Evelyn and what she’s up to now, here’s the lowdown…

Who is Evelyn Ellis?

Before she took part in Big Brother back in 2016, Evelyn was a nightclub hostess.

How old is Evelyn Ellis?

She was born December 12, 1995 making her star sign a fiery Sagittarius - perfect for all those MAFS rows.

Where is Evelyn Ellis from?

An Australian through and through, Evelyn was born and raised in Sydney.

When was Evelyn Ellis on Big Brother?

Evelyn finished in fifth place during her Big Brother stint and has since kept a relatively low profile. Once she left the Big Brother house, the nightclub hostess attended the Reality TV Awards and was rumoured to be dating fellow housemate Alex Cannon - but I think that is now done and done seeing as the Aussie is now MARRIED.

When was Evelyn Ellis on Married at First Sight Australia?

Evelyn took part in series ten of Married At First Sight Australia in 2023. She was matched with Rupert Bugden by the experts, but things didn’t get off to the best start on their wedding day.
