This is the episode where scores get settled and nothing is off the table. The 2026 cast will come back together for the first time since filming wrapped, and we’ll finally find out what has happened in the months since the experiment ended. We’ll see which Final Vows couples are still going strong and who has gone their separate ways. We will also find out who has stayed mates and who is firmly in frenemies territory — we’re looking at you, Gia and Bec. Past reunions have also seen cast members drop bombshells about brand new romances with each other. Remember Jacqui and Clint? Evelyn and Duncan? So, don’t rule anything out this year either. Bec was Gia’s unlikely ally at the final test. (Credit: Channel Nine ) Who is returning for the MAFS 2026 Reunion? All 24 participants from this year’s experiment have been invited to the Reunion. Whether everyone actually shows up is another question entirely. The full 2026 cast includes Alissa and David, Bec and Danny, Brook and Chris, Chris and Sam, Gia and Scott, Julia and Grayson, Juliette and Joel, Mel and Luke, Rachel and Steven, Rebecca and Steve, Stella and Filip, and Stephanie and Tyson. Of those, only four couples made it all the way to Final Vows — Alissa and David, Bec and Danny, Rachel and Steven and Stella and Filip. What happened afterwards will all come spilling out at the Reunion. Stella and Filip have been strong throughout the season. (Credit: Channel Nine) What drama can we expect at the MAFS 2026 Reunion? Quite a lot, as it turns out. Stella and Scott spilled all the Reunion secrets to our sister publication Woman’s Day this week, with Stella teasing drama around Alissa and David — and revealing there are text messages between a bride and another groom set to be exposed at the table. Scott cryptically added that cast members will be confronted with behind-the-scenes footage of “someone’s” behaviour. But according to the MAFS Funny podcast, the real fireworks could involve Bec, Danny and Stephanie.

Despite Stephanie apparently giving Bec a heads up beforehand that it’s all perfectly innocent, things reportedly get ugly at the table. Danny is then said to turn around and accuse Stephanie of manufacturing the whole situation just to guarantee herself a storyline and some airtime at the reunion. Stephanie married Tyson during the experiment. (Credit: Channel Nine ) Are there any new MAFS 2026 couples? The Reunion is where the truth tends to come out.
