MAFS Australia series 12 is already shaping up to be one of the spiciest, wildest, most addictive seasons of the show to date. As usual, the show is filled with big personalities and even bigger dramas. Since the show's first episode on 3 March, we've seen some couples falling for each other at first sight, while others are instantly repelled. We've even seen couples paired with their exes. It's been messy, chaotic and so, so watchable.
Last night, we met another new couple. MAFS' Morena Farina and Tony Mojanovski are this season's oldest couple. The 57-year-old DJ and fitness-instructor and 53-year-old charter captain are already completely adorable — but will their sweet romance last?
Here's what we know so far.
Morena and Tony's MAFS Australia journey so far
Tony claimed he entered the show looking for someone to “grow young” with. Meanwhile, Morena said, "I don't want to grow old alone. I still believe in love and I can't wait to feel love and to love. I want to meet somebody to match my energy."
Morena and Tony have a seriously cute wedding. Upon first meeting at the altar, the pair seem to share an instant attraction. Once they get talking, it seems they are well-matched, too.
The pair shared their stories: Morena explained that she had two kids from a previous marriage, while Tony said that he had also been married twice. Morena dubbed her new husband to be “beautiful,” while Tony proclaimed, “I think I have the most beautiful woman here.” So far, so good…
Are Morena and Tony from MAFS Australia still together?
The blessing (or perhaps the curse) of MAFS Australia is that the show always airs a few weeks earlier Down Under. In other words, it's very, very easy to get your hands on spoilers. If you absolutely cannot wait to see what happens between Tony and Morena, read on.
Sadly, the couple's relationship does eventually hit a few bumps in the road. Although the pair continue going strong during their honeymoon, they hit their first big hurdle when they return home and face the infamous challenge of Intimacy Week. Tony feels things are moving too fast and he even takes a step back from the show, leaving Morena confused and hurt. "I'm gutted. He doesn't even want to spend time with me, even as a friend," Morena said. "He's making it really difficult because he behaves like a five-year-old. I just don't get it."
Yikes.
Tony does decide to give MAFS another go, but things unfortunately go from bad to worse during Friends and Family Week. Morena still feels there is distance between them — then, Tony drops the bomb that he was hoping to be paired with a younger woman who would be able to having children with him.
It seems that the pair eventually decide to quit the show altogether, with Morena signing off by writing “Good riddance” on her card.
Tony recently told 9Entertainment, “I wanted to at least feel the experience, to learn off her, learn from the experts, get some information about where we're going wrong in life.”
He went on: "But it got to a stage where I just couldn't be around her and I was ducking and weaving and I was going to see my dog."
The couple ended up being one of the most controversial pairings this season.
