No one can deny that Monday's kinda (read: definitely) suck. But, there's one thing to look forward to every Monday... the return of Married At First Sight Australia. After three very long MAFS Australia-less evenings, our fave reality dating show is back on screens and we'll see yet more couples walk down the aisle in search of everlasting love.
So far, seven couples have said 'I do' at the altar – although not all of them have made it to their honeymoon – and there's already been plenty of drama to keep us on the edge of our seats. Two couples (yes, two) have been paired with their exes, while one bride has been revealed to have already dated a groom from the last series. Oh, and did we mention how a flirty game of footsie almost derails two marriages. Trust us, this season is already set to be even hotter than the climate Down Under.
But, we're getting ahead of ourselves again. We're only on week two and while there's several more weeks to go, tonight (10 March) is the wedding of Morena Farina and Tony Mojanovski, this season's oldest couple.
Do these young-at-heart lovers make it to the end of the series? Here's everything you need to know about if Morena and Tony from MAFS Australia are still together...
What has happened for Morena and Tony on MAFS Australia so far?
DJ-slash-fitness-instructor Morena (57) and charter captain Tony (53) hit things off on their wedding day, bonding over a shared zest for life and adventure. Morena is open about how she struggled during her previous relationship, a 29-year marriage, and as a dedicated mother to two children she wants a husband who will embrace this and support her in her role as a carer for her son. Like Morena, Tony has been married before (albeit twice), so from the get-go it seems like the pair are on the same page when it comes to finding love later in life.
During their vows, the couple connect over their European heritage, and Morena brands her new husband "beautiful". It's not all smooth sailing though (ahoy captain), as one wedding guest questions whether Morena is "too old" for Tony. Thankfully, he dismisses the suggestion, saying: "I think I have the most beautiful woman here." How sweet!?
Are Morena and Tony from MAFS Australia still together?
As mentioned, here in the UK we're still very early on in season 12 of MAFS Australia, but based on what's aired over there, we have an insight into how far Morena and Tony make it in the experiment. Spoilers ahead...
While the newlyweds' initial spark stays firmly alight during their honeymoon, things begin to dampen as they progress through the experiment with Tony struggling to open up at the same pace as Morena. This comes to a head during Intimacy Week and a clash between the pair results in Tony temporarily leaving the experiment. "I'm gutted. He doesn't even want to spend time with me, even as a friend," Morena says of the ordeal. "He's making it really difficult because he behaves like a five-year-old. I just don't get it."
Tony decides to return to MAFS Australia, but the state of his relationship with Morena only worsens during Friends and Family Week. After his wife calls him "emotionally unavailable", Tony opens up and explains he was hoping for a younger bride who would fulfil his desire to have children.
"When I came in, I wanted someone that was a bit younger than me who was still gonna have kids," he reveals. Later speaking to producers, Morena says she doesn't believe Tony and finds his confession "very strange" – although she does admit he was "gutted" upon finding out her age.
With all that in mind, it doesn't exactly seem like this pair are destined for each other. But we'll have to keep tuning in to find out for sure...
Watch MAFS Australia on E4, Monday to Thursday.
