On the latest season of Married at First Sight Australia 2025, the focus is on one of the most intriguing couples yet: Tony Mojanovski, at 53 the oldest groom this year, and Moreno Farina, 57, who have already captured the attention of audiences with their magnetic chemistry and shared desire for love and companionship.
Both Tony and Morena come from rich personal histories. Tony, a charter captain from coastal New South Wales, is not new to love, having been married twice before. Despite the heartbreak of not achieving the lifelong partnership he witnessed between his parents, he remains hopeful about finding a partner with whom to share life’s adventures. "I’m looking for someone to grow young with," he stated during the lead-up to his wedding, expressing his belief in love at any age. Morena, on the other hand, has her own trials; she recently emerged from a lengthy and unfulfilling 29-year marriage. Now, as a single mother of two, she is eager to find her happiness. "I want to meet somebody to match my energy," she said.
The couple's wedding day was filled with moments of joy and heartfelt emotion. Dressed stunningly in her Bridal Ambassadorea gown, Morena expressed how the dress represented her personal evolution. "My dress means everything to me because the person I was would have never worn this dress," she shared. Meanwhile, Tony, dapper in his burgundy velvet suit, was equally eager for their first meeting, emphasizing the importance of shared family values.
Morena’s children, her anchors and best friends, played pivotal roles during the ceremony, walking her down the aisle. Their daughter Olivia remarked, "For mum to find her person would mean the world to us because she’s been through so much and deserves to find love." The couple’s vows beautifully encapsulated their intentions. Morena, reflecting on her new path, vowed to discover life anew with Tony by her side. Her emotional words connected with Tony, who reciprocated with expressions of admiration, declaring her to be the most beautiful woman he had ever met.
Yet, even amid the sweetness of their union, there surfaced some familial tension. Tony’s cousin, Steven, voiced skepticism about the compatibility of the couple, citing Tony's age and implying he deserved someone younger. "I think you should’ve been matched with someone younger, around 40," he suggested privately to Tony. These comments prompted Tony to firmly reject the notion, defending his newfound relationship and expressing admiration for Morena. "Woah, Steve, take it easy brother. She’s a beautiful woman, mate," he responded, demonstrating his commitment to give their relationship a real shot.
Morena also felt the protective love from her family, as her children made it clear they would support their mother’s happiness without reservation. "We’re a package deal," she reminded everyone, highlighting the importance of family integration within her new relationship.
The wedding reception showcased their energy and connection, with both Moraena and Tony participating joyfully. They shared laughs, emotional toasts from family, and, not to forget, their first dance as husband and wife. The atmosphere was filled with celebration, as both families began to mingle, dancing the night away.
Despite some initial doubts from his cousin, Tony felt hopeful. "We’re thoroughly enjoying getting to know one another," he voiced after the day concluded, and Morena echoed the sentiment, buoyed by the intimate moments they shared during the ritual cutting of the cake and the first dance. "I can't wait to get to know him. I think I’ve hit the jackpot," she smiled at the cameras.
With the latest episodes airing each week, fans are left eagerly anticipating the couple’s next moves as the show unravels their relationship over time. Both brought strong family beliefs and personal growth experiences to their partnership, and viewers are hopeful they can defy the skepticism surrounding their age difference.
Many questions linger about how their love story will develop. Will the emotional bonds they built remain strong as the season progresses? Can they navigate the challenges of external pressures, including family opinions and the dynamics of reality TV? Only time will tell if this vibrant couple can showcase the beauty of love, transcending age as merely a number.
For now, Tony and Morena offer viewers a refreshing perspective on relationships, highlighting the power and potential of mature love. Stay tuned for future episodes of Married at First Sight airing Monday through Wednesday at 7:30 PM on Channel 9 and 9Now.
