Former Married At First Sight Australia star Eden Harper has revealed that current contestant and villain Tim Gromie messaged her during filming.

The new season of the social experiment is officially in full swing, with viewers outraged at groom Tim Gromie’s reaction to his bride Katie Johnstone on Tuesday night.

The ‘nice guy’ quickly became a villain after he admitted that Johnstone ‘wasn’t really what I usually go for’ and that his usual type is short, petite and blonde.

He even confronted producers after seeing his bride and saying “It’s just totally not what I wanted. Not good.”

Harper, who appeared on the last season of Married At First Sight Australia, shared a video to TikTok with the caption ‘we stand with Katie’.

“I got this DM during honeymoon week of MAFS 2025 and I just thought it was someone asking for advice”, she explained.

“But this is so fucked up after watching last night” she continued, appearing in front of a screen recording of the messages between the pair.

Eden responded to the message, saying “Hey! Hope you’re doing all good in there! It can be rough at times.”
