MAFS villain Tamara is reportedly dating Love Island bombshell Mitch Hibberd.

A fan told the gossip publication So Dramatic! that they spotted out and about at a Gold Coast pub. “I saw the two of them on a date Saturday afternoon at Soak Bathhouse in Queensland,” they said.

They added, “it looks like he [Mitch] is on holiday on the Gold Coast seeing her”.

“They were very close and I think they might actually be a couple or at least seeing each other.”

The source said that they checked their Insta to confirm her sighting, and Mitch’s post aligned with the place they spotted the new couple at.

“She tagged herself at the bathhouse and he said ‘sauna time’ on his Story but they didn’t post together,” they said.

Tamara was one of the most polarising people on last year’s season of MAFS. She repeatedly belittled her partner Brent for working in hospitality and supported co-star Olivia when she publicly outed Dom for having an OnlyFans account.

Last week, the executive producer of Channel 9, John Walsh, promised that the upcoming season of MAFS will be packed full of scandals.

“We have scandals again, but scandals that you haven’t seen. And that’s what I love about this, the reality Gods have really kind of smiled down on us… because it’s never a rinse and repeat. It’s not the same thing [as previous seasons],” Walsh told Variety.

He added, “And we are absolutely going to get the country talking again. What I love about “MAFS” is it starts a lot of dialogue. Last year it was the Only Fans dialogue. It was the racism dialogue… This season does the same thing, and it’s going to have people divided about a lot of things, and it’s going to have people fired up about a lot of things.”

“It was a real challenge to come in with this. People’s expectations of “MAFS” are very high. And I used to get asked a lot ‘How are you going to top Season 9?’ And it’s a path fraught with danger to set out to try and top it,” he said.
