As of March 25, 2025, the latest buzz among fans of Married at First Sight Australia centers around Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias, the couple who joined the current season midway through.

Their entrance brought a new dynamic to the drama-laden show. Beth, a 28-year-old who moved from Lancashire, England to Queensland, had never been in a relationship before, making her decision to participate in the show a bold step into unknown territory.

Teejay, who is also 28 and comes from Queensland, entered the experiment with more relationship history, having had two significant past relationships and appearing on Big Brother Australia in 2023. They appeared well-suited: both were eager to settle down and form a genuine connection. Their wedding day was marked by palpable chemistry, featuring sweet kisses and warm smiles, as Teejay appreciated Beth’s honesty about her dating background.

For a moment, it seemed like they might defy the infamous MAFS curse and navigate the chaos together smoothly. However, as the season progressed, cracks began to appear, leaving viewers questioning whether their bond could withstand the pressure beyond what was seen on screen.

Things began positively for Beth and Teejay. Their wedding was definitely a standout moment, despite a dramatic interruption caused by fellow couple Jacqui and Ryan’s argument. Teejay’s family embraced Beth wholeheartedly, even joking about wanting “grandbabies” soon. Beth opened up about her lack of dating experience, which didn’t throw Teejay off; he called it “wild” but admired her for it, and they quickly settled into a playful, comfortable vibe.

Early commitment ceremonies reflected their initial happiness, with Teejay describing them as “two cups of still water”—calm and steady amid the turmoil surrounding other couples. They managed to avoid the petty squabbles that troubled others, prioritizing getting to know one another.

Beth, vibrant and genuine, appreciated Teejay’s charm and humor, while he seemed genuinely interested in her—at least in the beginning. Fans were rooting for them, hoping they would become one of the rare success stories from MAFS, particularly since Beth’s inexperience made her journey so relatable and Teejay’s desire for commitment seemed sincere.

However, the honeymoon phase didn’t last long. By the time Homestays Week arrived, tensions were rising. Beth excitedly brought Teejay to meet her family in Brisbane, eager to share her life with him. But when her family pressed Teejay about his feelings, he stumbled. He leaned heavily on the term “friendship” to describe their relationship and admitted he wasn’t certain about a future together. This caught Beth off guard, especially since they had been intimate just days before.

She felt a mix of embarrassment and hurt, telling producers that she had feared this exact situation—falling for someone who didn’t feel the same way. Meanwhile, Teejay confided in his friends that he would say “no” to continuing if he had to decide at that moment, signaling a growing disconnect between them.

At the next dinner party, tensions erupted when Beth confronted him, and his vague responses only fueled her frustration. Social media buzzed with speculation, with some users joking that Teejay was “mentally screaming” to get away while Beth clung to hope.

The final straw came during the last Commitment Ceremony when Teejay admitted to having “connection issues” and decided to leave. Beth, still wanting to make things work, wrote “stay.” According to MAFS rules, this meant they would have to stick it out for another week, but it was clear things weren’t looking good. Reports from outlets like So Dramatic! and Daily Mail Australia confirmed they didn’t make it to the Final Vows.

Insiders claim Teejay was never fully committed, possibly sticking around for airtime, while Beth genuinely hoped for more. After the show, Beth hinted at feeling misled, telling Daily Mail that she ignored early signs of his lack of interest, while Teejay shared with Chattr that becoming intimate was a mistake considering his doubts. Today, they’re no longer together, and there are no indications of any reconciliation on social media or elsewhere.

It’s disappointing for fans who saw potential in their pairing, but it’s just another classic MAFS scenario—sometimes the spark just doesn’t ignite.
