MAFS NZ FAVOURITES WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Woman’s Day Magazine New Zealand|January 06, 2025
It may have been the most unsuccessful Married At First Sight in history, but many of the cast of 2024's New Zealand show are now living their best lives and say they have the show to thank for it.
MAFS NZ FAVOURITES WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Woman's Day caught up with a few of the contestants to find out what life had in store for them after the show had wrapped.

Aviation officer Nate, 31, who was matched with Maddie, has met the love of his life in flight attendant and influencer Courtney Coulston, 30.

They both work at Wellington Airport and regularly travel together.

When Woman's Day calls, the pair have just left the gym. "She works out with me a lot, but she's actually more of a runner," tells Nate. "She's a lovely person and we have a lot in common. And she's really down to earth she's not like most other influencers!" It was because of the show that Nate was introduced to Courtney.

"She didn't actually watch the show herself," he says. "It was her friend who watched it and told her, 'I think you and this fella would get along."" In just four months, they've already travelled to the Gold Coast and Japan. Nate revealed early on, when they first began dating, that he planned to move to Australia sometime in 2025.

"She told me she wasn't planning on staying in New Zealand, so she might move with me. She's definitely the best thing to come out of the show!"
