A version of the Danish reality television show “Married at First Sight” (also known as “MAFS”) airs in Australia, and it includes a group of strangers who are matched by experts and married off at the altar the very first time they meet. Following the wedding, the show gives viewers a glimpse into the life of these newlyweds as they prepare for their honeymoon and then attempt to live as if they were just any other couple for a short period of time. At the conclusion of the social experiment, their bond is put to the test in a commitment ceremony, during which they must decide whether they want to remain married or whether they should divorce.
In contrast to the American version of the show, the marriages in ‘MAFS’ are not legally binding due to the laws of the country in which they take place. The ninth season of this unique social experiment was a major success, with the couple Carolina Santos and Dion Giannarelli contributing significantly to the drama of the season, as had been the case in the previous seasons. Immediately upon entering the show, Carolina and Dion drew the audience’s attention with their chaotic dynamic and engaging personalities, and they continued to do so throughout their voyage. Naturally, fans will be interested to learn what the current status of this connection is. If that’s the case, we’ve got everything you need to know!
Carolina Santos and Dion Giannarelli’s MAFS journey
Carolina Santos is a self-employed entrepreneur based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Her match with Dion Giannarelli, a 33-year-old Property Developer from Melbourne, Victoria, was made during the ninth season of the reality programme, which she joined during the season’s ninth season of the reality show. The show’s specialists — John Aiken, Mel Schilling, and Alessandra Rampolla — worked their magic to bring the two together, and they were married in the hopes of spending the rest of their lives together.
The couple’s tumultuous trip began even before the wedding ceremony was completed, which added to the drama. Carolina suffered a nervous breakdown as a result of her hair and makeup, and Dion was forced to wait three hours at the altar. The groom, on the other hand, thought it was well worth the wait and was overjoyed with the woman who had been selected for him. Carolina’s quip about her husband’s height seems to have set the tone for the rest of the evening, and the couple appeared to be off to a good start after that.
Things, however, quickly went from bad to worse for the duo. In spite of their initial bonding over common interests and Carolina’s candid chat about her 16-year-old son, Carolina came to the realisation that she was not physically attracted to her companion. Even their differences such as the fact that Dion does not go to the gym, his aversion to eating breakfast, and the fact that the two do not have the same musical tastes began to take a toll on her mental and physical well-being.
Carolina grew close to Daniel Holmes, who had recently lost his intended wife, Jessica Seracino. They became friends because of their similar interest in the gym, among other things.. Meanwhile, Dion’s amorous gestures, such as an intimate meal and a love letter, made Carolina more enraged than she was impressed by the gestures. During a heated argument, Carolina informed Dion that he was not the man she desired to spend the rest of her life with and that she was leaving him. So, did they work out their disagreements or did they decide to part ways?
What is the current status of Carolina Santos and Dion Giannarelli’s relationship?
Carolina and Dion are not a couple, no matter what anyone says. Following Carolina’s confession, no one was surprised by her intention to leave at her second commitment ceremony, which was held the following day. Even Dion had expressed a desire to leave, but ultimately decided to remain in order to continue the couple’s journey. During the third ceremony, Dion arrived alone, having no idea where his wife had disappeared to. While the ceremony was still in progress, Carolina entered with Daniel, who you guessed it was. The answer came right in the middle of the proceedings.
Daniel and Carolina announced that they had been romantically involved for two weeks at the time of their arrival, which was the case at the time. Even the most ardent Dion fans could have predicted this outcome a mile away, but it was a heartbreaking moment for her. Carolina and Daniel then requested the experts if they could be given a second opportunity as a new pair inside the season, completely taking everyone by surprise. This drove Dion and the other couples to leave the room in protest of the situation. After they returned to the site, the experts advised the aspiring pair in no uncertain terms that they would not be able to compete on the show as a result of their behaviour.
After years of waiting, Carolina and Dion’s romance finally came to an end with the move to the United Kingdom. Because their marriage was not legally binding, the couple did not have to go through the formal divorce process. Carolina and Daniel are still together as of this writing, and the duo has shared numerous images of themselves on their individual social media accounts. In a public statement, the couple said that they were not concerned with what other people thought of their relationship. Carolina confirmed her stance on the subject in one of her Instagram postings, writing, “Do I care about anyone else’s perception of @ danielholmes_ and I?”
Meanwhile, Dion Giannarelli appears to have reconciled with his former girlfriend Nikki Walton. He had broken up with his girlfriend only a short time before his appearance on the show, leading many to question his commitment to the experiment, with some even accusing him of staging a publicity stunt for the show. It was six weeks before he began filming for the show that he shared his last Instagram photo with Nikki, which has since been deleted. While Dion has declared on numerous occasions that he remained single and unattached during the entire process, his reconnection with Nikki has undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of rumour and speculation.
