MAFS groom forced to deny cheating accusations after bride claims he had sex with another woman during show filming
MARRIED At First Sight husband Adrian Araouzou has been forced to address claims he cheated on his reality TV wife Awhina Rutene during the experiment.
The 30-year-old denied any rumours and told Daily Mail Australia: “Absolutely not. As if I would need to go have sex with someone in that space of filming.
“I was out for a mate’s birthday and went past mine to grab a few things then went back to the apartment.”
It comes after care worker Awhina accused her now-estranged husband of being unfaithful while talking on Aussie presenter Abbie Chatfield’s It’s A Lot podcast.
Awhina told her: “I’ve been told that Adrian did, in fact, had sex with someone, and he had told this person that ‘don’t worry, she won’t tell anyone…’.”
Aussie star Adrian claims his partner Awhina had also been invited to join the festivities but declined the offer to join him.
The mum-of-one confided that the whole experience had left her ‘empty’.
She said: ”I remember my closest friend Lauren came over maybe three weeks into it airing and she was like, ‘I don’t see all that light in you, Awhina’.
“And I was like, well, that sucks.”
She admitted: “I’d been trying and trying and trying up into this stage to give him the benefit of the doubt.
“My relationship failed, and I was made to feel like so many times it was me.”
Mentioning how she felt after the couple parted ways during the final commitment ceremony, she said: “I left final vows. So happy.”
Talking about their fellow MAFS contestant Sierah, she explained: “You’re still texting him saying how much I ruined your experience.
“I’m like, how the **** did my miserable relationship ruin your experience?”
Adrian and Awhina have been plagued by problems ever since they got married.
When the couple first met at the alter they seemed like a match made in heaven.
However, cracks started to appear when it Awhina revealed she had a son.
During confessions week they got into a huge fight when Adrian refused to take part, leaving his bride fuming.
Married at First Sight fans previously watched as Billy’s ex Sierah had become close to Adrian during the show’s partner swapping exercise.
In awkward scenes, Sierah revealed that she ended up confiding in Adrian off screen.
Months on from when filming on MAFS wrapped, Awhina now appears to have confirmed she’s seeing her co-star, Billy.
In a clip posted to social media, she can be seen looking glam at a horse racing event in Perth.
During the video, Englishman Billy – who starred on MAFS with his ex Sierah – makes a surprise appearance.
