The hotly anticipated premiere date for the upcoming season of MAFS has dropped, and fans will be tuning in to the first episode in just a few weeks.
It’s been revealed that Married at First Sight season 10 will kick off on Monday, January 30 on Channel 9 and 9Now.
The upcoming season looks to be the most explosive yet, with reports leaking that participants are asked to do a partner swap as part of the experiment.
The relationships “will be tested like never before when a partner-swapping task is introduced,” an on-set source told the Daily Mail Australia.
They added; “They’ve really upped the ante this year. They made different couples swap partners for three days and it was hell for all involved.”
“‘I don’t know if it was because there were too many couples in the end and they just wanted to test who was genuine or not, or they just wanted to shake things up.”
“Some participants refused to do it. They didn’t see the point of it and were like, “No way this would happen on the outside world.”‘

The source said that the partner-swapping activity will happen at Skye Suites, the Sydney apartment building where MAFS is filmed, and the participants will have to do “their best to avoid temptation.”
It’s been speculated that Selina Chaurr, who was a participant on season nine of MAFS will return for the upcoming season.
She posted an Instagram story showing Sydney’s Skye Suites apartments – the building where filming for Married at First Sight 2023 is currently taking place and captioned the video “I’m back”.
Selina was paired with Cody on season nine of MAFS and the couple made national headlines when her on-screen partner Cody Bromley admitted he wasn’t attracted to her partly because of her Asian ethnicity.
