Reports: MAFS Australia Adds Same-Sex Intruder Couple, Expands Mid-Season Shake-Up

Unnamed production sources say three intruder weddings were instructed to generate drama to avoid a repeat of last season’s early exits.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing MailOnline report that Sam Stanton of Adelaide and Chris Robinson of Sydney entered the experiment as a late-joining couple during filming for the 2026 season.
  • Coverage says three intruder pairings were inserted midway through production with a directive to stay through filming even if romances falter.
  • Reports state Stanton and Robinson exchanged vows at a Sydney ceremony this week, though the broadcaster has not confirmed the casting.
  • Separate reporting describes a turbulent weekend on set with curfew breaches and fights, with one bride said to be leaving and a groom potentially removed pending an investigation.
  • This would be the show’s fourth same-sex pairing, following past LGBTQ+ couples who did not reach final vows.
