17 Sep
Summary
- Marryam Chehelnabi is the new relationship expert.
- She joins John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla.
- She replaces the late Mel Schilling on the panel.
Married at First First Sight Australia has announced Marryam Chehelnabi as the newest relationship expert for the upcoming 2027 season. Chehelnabi, who holds a Master of Science in Medicine and a Master of Counselling, will join the established panel alongside John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla. Her professional experience encompasses work in sectors such as domestic violence and homelessness, which Channel 9 believes will contribute a unique viewpoint to the dating experiment.
The show's panel has seen a change following the sad news of Mel Schilling's passing earlier this year. Schilling, who was a part of the show for 12 seasons, had previously announced her departure to focus on her health and family before her death at the age of 54 after a battle with cancer. Her exit was met with gratitude for her contributions to the global phenomenon that MAFS Australia has become.
