Laura Vaughan, a star from the 2023 series of Married At First Sight UK (MAFS), has been in a secret relationship for nearly a year after her marriage to Arthur Poremba ended. Laura's marriage to Arthur did not stand the test of reality television, culminating in a dramatic finale where she handed back his wedding ring, marking the end of their tumultuous journey together.
Following the emotional breakup, Arthur took to social media to express his feelings, stating that many significant moments didn’t make the final edit. He reflected on the experience, writing, "Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Thank you for what’s probably going to be one of the best experiences of my humble life." Arthur emphasized the lessons learned: vulnerability and the importance of showing one’s true self, particularly during difficult times.
Fast forward to now, Laura has found love again. Reports reveal that she is in a serious relationship with someone she met through the industry, although specific details about her new partner have been kept under wraps. A source disclosed to The Sun, “Laura is in a serious relationship with someone who makes her very happy. They’ve kept their relationship a secret for close to a year now, after meeting through the industry.”
Despite the secrecy, glimpses of her new romance have emerged through social media, hinting at her happiness. One particular selfie shows Laura smiling happily alongside her boyfriend in a brown jacket, indicating their relationship is serious. This new chapter comes after a heartfelt discussion with Arthur during the vow renewals of MAFS, where Laura articulated her feelings about their marriage.
She poignantly noted, "I know we've grown as individuals in this process, but the more I grow as a person the more I grow apart from you. I've always been a fixer, but I've realized this relationship is something that can't be fixed." This realization led to her decision to return Arthur's ring, signifying a crucial turning point in her life.
Laura’s relationship with Arthur faced numerous challenges throughout the series, with criticisms arising regarding her treatment of him. Fellow participants noted instances where Laura seemed to speak down to Arthur, which contributed to the relationship's eventual breakdown.
In a stark contrast to her past, Laura seems to have found someone who aligns better with her aspirations and needs in a partner. As she embraces this new love, it’s evident that her experiences on the show have significantly shaped her understanding of what she wants in a relationship.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, drama continued to unfold in the latest episode of Married At First Sight Australia. Viewers were on the edge of their seats during the commitment ceremony on March 24, 2025, where a bride named Sierah made a shocking revelation.

This reluctance came as she had already confided in Adrian, another participant, which left both Billy and Awhina—Adrian’s partner—feeling blindsided. The awkward atmosphere intensified when it was revealed that Sierah and Billy had been intimate the night before, a detail that left everyone perplexed given her lack of openness with him.
In a heartfelt moment, Billy expressed his confusion, stating, "I've shared so much about my past with you and nobody else in the group. What I wrote in that letter in confessions week, I broke down that night." He continued, expressing disappointment over Sierah’s emotional distance compared to the connection she had fostered with Adrian.
Awhina, Adrian’s girlfriend, also confronted the betrayal when she discovered that Adrian had been closer to Sierah than to her.
