We’re only two weeks into this year’s season of Married At First Sight, but one groom has already gone rogue and seemingly spoiled his storyline on the show by revealing he’s now in a new relationship.

Yahoo Lifestyle is told that Adrian Araouzou is making no secret of the fact he is seemingly no longer with his bride Awhina Rutene, despite them being tipped to make it all the way to final vows in the experiment.

After filming wrapped in November, the groom appeared in several TikTok videos with another woman while travelling around Bali together. The videos were shared to Adrian’s brand Sweet Sundayz’s page and were noticed by fans over the weekend before he quickly deleted them and made the account private.

In another telling clue that Adrian is no longer with Awhina, one viewer spotted him “holding hands” with a mystery woman in Sydney’s CBD on Friday night.

The onlooker tells Yahoo Lifestyle: “So essentially, I was in the city on Friday night, see a bloke who looks super familiar – I’m like wait a sec that’s Adrian from MAFS and he’s holding hands with a girl.

“I then notice that it’s not the girl he got married to on the show and they were looking very cozy together. They probably just had a date night and were going to a bar or something cause this was around 11pm-12am. But yeah, he was definitely with a different girl to his wife on the show so that is done.”

Speaking exclusively to Yahoo Lifestyle about the photos, Adrian claims it was actually his twin brother James who was spotted with the mystery woman.

“I think people forget I have a twin brother and he is here in Sydney with me at the moment and he is single,” he asserts.

“We are identical and our haircuts are exactly the same. He doesn’t have long hair anymore, nor do I. We literally both have the same haircut right now. Leading into the show, we sort of knew that this would happen so we decided to get the same haircut because people wouldn’t know the difference, especially now.”

Despite these claims, Yahoo Lifestyle can confirm that his brother James has a sleeve tattoo on his right arm while Adrian’s tattoos are only on his left arm - and the photos feature a man without any tattoos on his right arm.

When quizzed further about whether it actually was his brother in the photos, Adrian had a rather telling response.

“I guess we’ll have to wait and find out, I don’t know,” he says, reminiscent of Awhina’s sister Cleo saying that she “doesn’t know” if Awhina has a son.

“But at the same time, don’t forget, me and my brother do have a couple of girl friends as well,” Adrian continues. “Everyone’s got girl friends and guy friends, so no one’s dating anyone, no one’s hooking up with anyone.

“I mean, it might have been a girl friend, it might have been my brother. Who knows?”
