MAFS 2026 Dinner Party reunion: Time, drama, and attendees - The Australian Women's Weekly

With final vows done and dusted, the 2026 participants are gearing up to have the last word at the Married At First Sight Australia (MAFS) reunion.  Given this was one of the most drama-filled seasons yet, we’re expecting fiery arguments – particularly between the ex-couples, of which only two decided to leave final vows together.  MAFS viewers will recall that four couples made it to final vows, with Danny and David calling it quits on their relationship with Bec and Alissa respectively.  We have no doubt Stella and Filip will still be basking in their engagement glow, and we’ll finally learn how Steven and Rachel have tackled long-distance.  Without further ado, below is everything we know about the Married At First Sight Australia 2026 reunion episode.  (Credit: Nine) When and what time is the MAFS 2026 reunion?  The network has confirmed the MAFS Dinner Party reunion will air on Sunday April 12 at 7pm.  Meanwhile, the MAFS reunion Commitment Ceremony will air on Monday April 13 at 7:30pm, also on Channel 9 and 9Now.  Who is attending the MAFS 2026 reunion?  Basically, who is brave enough to face the heat? Well, it turns out most of the 24 participants will be in attendance for the MAFS Dinner Party reunion, as per the teaser trailer. Noticable absence were Brook and Chris – however, attendees have not yet been confirmed by Channel Nine. What is the time difference between the MAFS reunion and final vows?  There may be less than a week difference between the final vows and reunion episodes, but the participants have been separated for weeks in the real world.  Plenty of time to stew over their choices! (Credit: Nine) What drama can we expect at the MAFS 2026 reunion?  It wouldn’t be a MAFS reunion without a little chaos, and this time it will be centred around Bec. The teaser trailer showed the bride yelling, “Who do you think you are?” While the recipient of this question isn’t confirmed, it’s undoubtedly her former partner Danny who “blindsided” her during final vows.  So far, Channel Nine hasn’t teased any more drama. However, Ella May Ding’s podcast, The Ella Era, has claimed Steph was ‘spilling reunion tea’ during their interview.  Steph claimed Bec reached out to her, asking if she’d been in contact with Danny.  “[Danny and I] had a phone call, a voice message, and he asked me how Hamilton Island was – had a bit of a back and forth conversation. She felt like things weren’t really adding up, which is okay,” Steph recalled, admitting she allowed Bec to read her messages with Danny.  “[I’m] not attracted to the guy… but then it became something that it wasn’t. Then he hated on me because he [said], ‘you’ve done this for extra airtime’,” to which she denied.  (Credit: Nine) Which MAFS 2026 couples are still together? As previously mentioned, four couples went into final vows but only two entered the real world together: Stella and Filip, and Rachel and Steven.  The teaser shows Stella sitting comfortably in Filip’s lap, which means they were still going strong at the time of filming. But we’ll find out their current status after the reunion commitment ceremony airs.  We’ll also discover if Rachel and Steven are still together! Unfortunately, the teaser trailer gave no hints.
