The wait is finally over as E4 has unveiled the official line-up for Married At First Sight UK 2025, and fans are already buzzing about the eclectic mix of personalities set to walk down the aisle. From glamorous brides to bold grooms, the upcoming season promises drama, romance, and plenty of unexpected twists.
Among the standout contestants is a self-described “troublemaker,” whose fiery personality is expected to stir the pot during group dinners and commitment ceremonies. Viewers can also look forward to the charm of a professional dancer, whose confidence on stage may be tested in the search for true love.
The show has also taken a heart-warming turn this year by including a divorced grandmother of three, proving that love stories come at every stage of life. Her journey has already sparked conversations online, with fans praising her courage for giving marriage another shot on such a bold platform.
The brides
Anita, 54, Durham, Operations Manager
Anita, a mum of two and proud nan of three, has turned personal heartbreak into a new zest for life after losing her mother, her job, and a 17-year relationship in just six weeks—now saying yes to everything from fire-breathing and helicopter flying to solo trips in Ibiza.
Leah, 35, Liverpool, Business Owner
After dating men on and off, Leah always wondered why none of them had ever given her “butterflies” – until she had her first kiss with a woman at 25.
Leigh, 30, Romford, NHS Clinical Coder
Leigh describes herself as a ‘typical girly girl’ who loves to get glammed up. But she hates the traditional dating game and refuses to use the apps.
Maeve, 29, Newcastle, Aesthetics Practitioner
Maeve is a self-confessed ‘trouble maker’ and constantly clashed with her parents over boys while growing up.
Now older and wiser, Maeve is mum to son Archie and these days refuses to settle for a man who doesn’t make the effort. She wants the experts to help her bring down her walls and be vulnerable with a man.
Nelly, 30, Manchester, Cosmetic Dentist
Nelly has made a name for herself in Manchester, working in one of the city’s top dental clinics. She describes herself as outspoken, confident, warm, and fiercely loyal.
She’s been single for a year and knows her worth, meaning Nelly won’t settle for anything less than she deserves in a partner.
Rebecca, 32, Aesthetics Nurse and Clinic Owner
Gym bunny Rebecca is her own boss and lives with her three-year-old Cockapoo Dotty. She believes she can achieve anything she sets her mind to.
When it comes to romance, after a broken engagement, Rebecca wants a man to take control and allow her to be her true self.
Sarah, 31, Aberdeen, Recruitment Consultant
Sarah believes that there are no eligible bachelors in her hometown and – with all of her friends settling down – is determined to find the one.
She’s looking for “the nicest guy in the world” and the lucky man will have to earn the approval of her dad.
The grooms
Ashley, 35, Bridgend, Operations Manager
Old school gent and father of one Ashley enjoys rugby, surfing, camping, and walking – but is bored of doing it all on his own.
His exes include a former Miss Universe and Ashley is hoping his next date will be his last.
Bailey, 36, St Albans, Sales Manager
Eight years ago, Bailey moved to Brighton to set up his own microbrewery and enjoys going to festivals, meditating and lazy Sundays at the pub.
His biggest achievement is his three-year-old daughter and Bailey is looking for a woman who will be a good role model for her.
Davide, 33, Portugal, Cabin Crew
Davide moved from Portugal to Paris at a young age and attributes his romantic side to growing up in the city of love.
Despite having a huge wedding planned for this year, Davide was left heartbroken when the relationship came to an end. Now he’s looking for someone kind, handsome and romantic.
Dean, 31, Feltham, Team Building Host
Hopeless romantic Dean is so determined to find his dream girl that he once flew all the way to Venice for a first date.
After being single for a year, Dean hopes the experts will help him find a soul mate who will match his zest for life.
Divarni, 29, London, Musician
Divarni describes himself as a ladies’ man and his interests range from writing poetry to watching Marvel movies.
He’s looking for a woman with big eyes and a nice smile – and she needs to be quirky, artistic and intellectual.
Joe, 31, Huddersfield, Personal Trainer
Joe spent most of his twenties travelling, collecting passport stamps and girls’ phone numbers.
But after a frank conversation with his mum, Joe is finally ready to settle down with his partner in crime.
Keye, 33, London, Marketing Manager
Keye is known for loving the finer things in life and is now looking for the man of his dreams.
He hasn’t had a serious relationship since his marriage ended in 2018 but is hoping the experts will find someone to look after him.
Paul, 60, Edinburgh, Retired
Paul’s been single since divorcing his partner in 2011 and, while he’s explored dating apps, is yet to have a first date.
But now he wants to take the gamble on love again and is hoping to find a woman who is outgoing and someone to share his hobbies with.
Steven, 34, Essex, Investment Banking Manager
Father-of-two Steven has been single for over a year while focusing on building his career.
His interests include writing, acting and playing football and he’s looking for a woman who is bubbly and confident and not afraid to keep him on his toes.
As for the grooms, producers have hinted at a mix of romantics, risk-takers, and free spirits who will challenge traditional expectations. Several are described as “stunning” in their own right, raising excitement about how chemistry will unfold once the weddings begin.
The first look at the line-up has divided fans, with some praising the diversity and fresh energy, while others worry the “troublemaker” could overshadow genuine love stories. Still, if past seasons are anything to go by, surprises are guaranteed.
Relationship experts on the show are already gearing up for what they call “the most unpredictable season yet,” as bold personalities and heartfelt backstories collide under the pressures of marriage at first sight.
Social media is ablaze with speculation about which couples will thrive and which will crumble under the spotlight. Many fans say they “can’t wait” for the drama to unfold, especially with such an unconventional mix of contestants.
With the new season around the corner, Married At First Sight UK 2025 looks set to deliver everything fans have come to love: love, heartbreak, chaos, and unforgettable television moments.
