Married At First Sight 2025 will feature the wildest cast yet when the film premieres later this month.
Ny Breaking Australia has obtained a teaser introducing Ryan Donnelly, the season’s most fearless contestant who proudly proclaims his ‘warrior mentality’.
The latest trailer introduces Ryan as a man with unwavering confidence and a larger-than-life presence.
The groom cuts a striking figure in a crisp white tuxedo and black bow tie, adjusting his blazer in front of a mirror as he prepares for the social experiment.
“When I first walk into a room, my presence is something special,” Ryan says with conviction.
‘Where have all the warriors gone? Where have all the philosophers gone? I have the mentality of a warrior.”

“I’ve experienced a lot of things that people are terrified of, you know? I’m a risk taker, I’m a confrontationist. “I’m also quite strong,” he continues confidently.
“If you’re in danger from a car accident, for example, or you’re hanging over the edge of a cliff, I can pick you up.”
Switching to a more casual look in a burgundy knit sweater during his confession, Ryan maintains his intense look, making it clear he’s not here to hold back.
The voiceover teases what viewers can expect and asks the tantalizing question, “Who will be Ryan’s bride?” Just as special as he is?’
Ryan’s bold statement continues to build anticipation as he confidently says, “Nerves? It’s of no use to you. I’m just scared in this world of sharks. I’m not afraid of anything else.’
As previously reported by Ny Breaking Australia, Ryan and his partner Jacqui Burfoot are tipped to go down as the most polarizing couple in the show’s history – eclipsing even the infamous Bronte and Harrison saga in 2023.
Sources close to the production have revealed that Jacqui, a 29-year-old self-described “tell-it-like-it-is” entrepreneur, and Ryan, 37, an outspoken project manager, are “absolute bananas” both on and off screen .
Fans expecting another run-of-the-mill love story should brace themselves for fireworks, backstabbing and the kind of chaos that has made recent seasons resemble a Disney fairy tale.

“Ryan is all about pro-masculinity – he champions men embracing their strength and individuality, but let’s be honest, viewers will be just as impressed with his striking looks,” said an insider.
‘Meanwhile, Jacqui is ready to steal the show in her own way. She is unapologetically fierce, and women everywhere will feel empowered to see her stand up for what is right. They are a dynamic duo and the audience cannot look away.’
A well-placed source revealed: ‘Their journey on the show will make Bronte and Harrison seem like a love affair that will last happily ever after.
At every dinner party, at every wedding ceremony, they are at each other’s throats or drag the rest of the group into their mess.’
It’s not just their on-screen antics that get people talking.
Another insider revealed: ‘They both have unpredictable energy. It’s hard to say who’s worse.’

One minute Jacqui is tearing Ryan apart over something trivial, the next she’s crying on the couch and everyone is falling for her crocodile tears. They’re bananas – you don’t know whether to laugh, cry or turn off the TV.’
The couple’s relentless drama has not only affected their own relationship, but has also driven a wedge through the group.
According to insiders, the other couples avoid them completely or get sucked into their disputes.
‘Their toxic chemistry divides the group. It is exhausting for everyone involved,” the source said.
“They argue like it’s a sport, and the rest of the cast has to suffer because of it. But you can’t look away: it’s train wreck TV at its best.’
Even the show’s experts — no strangers to volatile pairings — were reportedly dazzled by Jacqui and Ryan’s intensity.
One source hinted: ‘Obviously they were matched to bring drama, but I don’t think anyone expected this level of chaos.
‘The experts are often speechless and that says something.’
Married At First Sight returns to Channel Nine on January 27. Stream seasons 1-11 on 9Now.
