Ny Breaking Australia can reveal that Tony Mojanovski is the latest groom to appear on Married at First Sight in 2025.

Tony, 53, is from Wollongong and works as a council worker. His family describes him as a “humble man” who has had no luck with women.

Friends and family hope this experience will finally bring him the love he deserves.

“Tony is a nice, genuine guy,” a friend told Ny Breaking Australia.

“He loves fishing and the gym, and his dog Teddy is his life,” they added.

However, Tony’s friend is concerned about how he will handle the show.

“Tony doesn’t like conflict, so I don’t know how he’s going to handle dinners when tensions run high,” they said.

The endearing villain previously made headlines when he risked his life to find a missing teenage fisherman.

Tony was walking his dog in Port Kembla when he saw the situation.

“I came to walk my dog but unfortunately things happened and I tried to help but I also washed up on the rocks,” he told the Daily telegram in April 2022.

Mr Mojanovski was taken to hospital with a broken shoulder and multiple cuts, while his dog was ‘shocked but OK’.

This incident only enhanced his reputation as a community hero.

“Tony is a lovely, genuine guy,” a friend told Ny Breaking Australia. “He loves fishing and the gym, and his dog Teddy is his life,” they added.

Ny Breaking Australia can reveal that Tony is the oldest groom to take part in this year’s experiment and he has been paired with Melbourne mother-of-two Morena Farina.

Morena, reportedly in her late 50s, is an energetic Italian DJ who brightens up the room with her cheerful, sweet and caring nature.

Friends describe her as a “cool mom,” trustworthy and “one of the most genuine people you will ever meet.”

“We really hope she finds someone caring and fun, and for MAFS to succeed they need to match her energy,” one said.

It looks like the experts have one match right, because Tony and Morena were spotted taking a break from filming on Thursday, looking smitten.

According to a production insider, the duo will set the mood and tone for the upcoming series.

“Tony and Morena are a producer’s dream and will provide the show with the laughs and jokes it needs. They are both super relatable and can bring their years of experience to the table,” the insider said.
