Why MAFS' Steph refuses to speak to Bec: 'Disgusting messages' - chattr.com.au

Why MAFS' Steph refuses to speak to Bec: 'Disgusting messages' Steph says she doesn't have "time or space or energy" to associate with someone like Bec. PUBLISHED 13TH MAY, 2026 Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 participant Stephanie Marshall is no longer on speaking terms with Bec Zacharia, and Chattr can exclusively reveal why. After the Reunion Dinner Party (you know, where Bec called out Steph for texting Danny Hewitt a bikini photo), Bec apparently sent the bride some awful messages. “She sent me some pretty disgusting messages after that Reunion Dinner Party,” Steph spills. “I’ve got nothing against Bec. I always saw good in her, and I always stood by her.” Steph notes she helped Bec get out of bed after she was brutally dumped by Danny at Final Vows. However, the bride still maintains she did nothing wrong by texting Danny in a friendly way, and isn’t at a place in her life where she will entertain drama. “I don’t have time or space or energy for someone who speaks to me like that in my life, there’s no way that I’ll be associated with someone like that… not interested,” she adds. Bec previously told Chattr that while Steph said she would never have “gone there” with Danny, Bec was “dubious” about why Steph messaged him once they were both single. However, Steph clarifies that Danny isn’t her type, so there were no romantic intentions back then. “I never had interest in Danny whatsoever. That whole situation was blown out of proportion. And I kind of realised as well, it wasn’t even anything to do with me, it was purely because Bec was so upset,” the bride says. Steph concedes she would take the whole situation back after seeing how badly it hurt her friend. “[But] I did the right thing. I told her about it. I think if there was something for me to hide, I wouldn’t have even told her about it. But no, not attracted to Danny, all of those tattoos don’t do it for me. He’s not my type.” MAFS’ Bec hits back at Steph’s claims with screenshots Not long after Chattr shared Steph’s thoughts on where she stands with Bec now, Bec reached out to share her side of the story. Sharing screenshots of the “disgusting messages” in question, the bride appeared to call Steph a “deceitful liar” for reaching out to Danny. There’s also a heartfelt apology from Steph, and a final text from Bec asking for distance. You can read the messages here. MAFS’ Steph shares update on her new boyfriend Aaron After her disaster with Tyson Gordon, Steph has since found love with her new boyfriend Aaron. The pair have been together for around six months, and she sounds smitten. “Aaron and I met [when] he bought one of my properties that I was selling whilst I was on the show. So we met at the pre-settlement inspection at the end of October,” she says. “[We’ve] just been dating ever since, and then kind of made things official [at the] start of January this year. But you know, [we’ve been] very much inseparable since the end of November last year.” The couple actually watched MAFS together, and Aaron found it “hilarious”, especially when seeing who Steph was matched with. “He actually [spent] a couple of years in the army. So you know, seeing who I was matched with, he’s seen thousands of those kinds of guys,” she says. “Obviously, I’d spoken to him all about it [beforehand] anyway.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Stephanie Marshall | Real Estate Agent Brisbane’s Bayside (@sellit_withsteph) And while Steph felt stitched up by being matched with Tyson, she’s pleased with how everything turned out. After all, it led her to finding Aaron. “I’m a huge believer that everything happens for a reason,” she says. Not only did she find love, but she pushed herself into doing something outside of her comfort zone. That’s something worth celebrating. Stream Married At First Sight Australia 2026 on 9Now.
