MAFS Australia: Martha Kalifatidis, pregnant, returns to live with her parents
Heavily pregnant Martha Kalifatidis has moved back in with her parents in their ‘Versace mansion’ after her Bondi apartment was invaded by black mould, but insists the arrangement isn’t ‘weird’
Former Married At First Sight star Martha Kalifatidis has revealed that she has moved back in with her parents while only weeks away from giving birth to her first child.
The heavily pregnant 35-year-old confirmed on Monday that she and her fiance Michael Brunelli were staying temporarily at her family’s home in north Melbourne.
Martha said the couple had moved out of their Bondi apartment before their European vacation last year after black mold covered the walls and ceilings.

“Our place in Sydney developed very aggressive black mold and we didn’t want that in that house anymore,” she said in an Instagram Q&A.
“Before traveling to Europe, we put all our stuff away and thought we would find a new place when we got back from our trip.”
Martha, who suffered from severe morning sickness early in her pregnancy, added that she spent a few months at her parents’ house “very badly and in bed”.

The Kalifatidis family home (pictured) features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a pool.
“Since my pregnancy was so debilitating, staying with my family was really my only option,” she said.
“Mom convinced us that living with them was a great option, so here we are.”
The Kalifatidis family home features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a swimming pool, so there is plenty of space for her and 34-year-old Michael to live.
Martha also said it will be “nice to have help” once the newborn arrives.
In another Instagram post, Martha said the move wasn’t “forever” and insisted that living with her parents wasn’t foreign to her.

“I understand why a lot of people might find this strange or why some might disapprove of it, but to me it just feels right,” she said of her living situation.
In a separate Instagram post, Martha said the move wasn’t “forever” and insisted that living with her parents wasn’t foreign to her.
“I swear people are fascinated by this topic,” he said. ‘I don’t get it… Is it really that strange?’
Martha, who is approaching the 37th week of her pregnancy, announced last week that she is having a boy.
The family home, which Martha once described as a ‘Versace mansion’, was featured multiple times in the sixth season of MAFS when she and Michael started dating.
The Kalifatidis bought the property in 2004 for $300,000 and it is now estimated to be worth more than $1 million.
