“Mocked the whole experiment”—Married at First Sight: Australia star Morena clashes with Tony

Married at First Sight: Australia season 12 introduced viewers to Morena and Tony, who entered the experiment as singles. The relationship experts and professionals matched them after studying their personalities, hoping that their connection would flourish with the right guidance. However, things took a different turn when the couple called it quits in the newly released episode.

At first, Morena's absence led to the assumption that she wouldn't show up for the Commitemenet Cermony. When she entered the room, she called out Tony for his behavior. Tony then pointed out that Morena's personality "was too much," which offended her.

The Married at First Sight: Australia season 12 star mentioned that Tony had "wasted" her time and "mocked" the basis of the experiment. Morena continued:

“Did you really think I wasn’t going to come? Did you really think I was going to give him the last word? You’ve mocked the whole experiment. You’ve wasted everybody’s time."

Married at First Sight: Australia season 12 episode 21 was released exclusively on 9Now on March 2, 2025. The episode synopsis mentions:

"Marital bliss deepens for most of our couples at the Commitment Ceremony, but an unanticipated development shows one of this years strongest couples facing their moment of truth."

The reasons behind Married at First Sight: Australia star Tony's split with Morena

On Married at First Sight: Australia season 12 episode 21, Morena showed up at the fourth Commitment Ceremony. After multiple clashes between the couple, the cast members thought Morena might not attend the ceremony, but that wasn't the case. According to Tony's exclusive interview with 9Now, he revealed that the problems in their relationship led to their departure from the show.

The Married at First Sight: Australia star stated that initially he couldn't feel a strong connection with Morena but still decided to listen to the experts who had matched them on the basis of compatibility.

He also pointed out that their take on expressing fun and humor in their relationship was drastically different. The couple abruptly decided to part ways in the recent episode after closing this chapter, disappointing the experts who had high hopes for their newly established bond. He said:

"I always believe that when you meet a woman it's there instantly, in the first 30 seconds, it wasn't there. But it got to a stage where I just couldn't be around her."

Previously, the Married at First Sight: Australia couple opened up about their opinion regarding discussions about the future. In another conversation with 9Now on February 26, 2025, Tony revealed his wish to start a family together with Morena, who had different plans about expanding their family. Morena said:

"Tony and I have been on this experiment for weeks and weeks and week and he's never uttered a word that he wants to have a baby. Where did it come from?"

Meanwhile, Tony explained his side of the story, stating he was ready to have kids. He continued:

"When I met Morena on the wedding day she had two beautiful kids, so in my eyes if something did happen between us then those I would treat those kids like they were mine."
