‘Dad’s already lining up husband No. 2’: Jamie Marinos on life after MAFS

·

Just weeks after her emotional breakup on Married At First Sight, Jamie Marinos is already facing playful pressure from her dad to walk down the aisle again.

“He’s typical old school, dad, he just hounds me sometimes. He’s already like, ‘when are you getting married again?’. I’m like, ‘are you for real?’” she said speaking to The Advertiser. “I’m like, ‘you just went to my wedding, relax’.”

Originally from Adelaide, Jamie grew up in a “big Greek family” and attended St George College and Unley High School before relocating to Melbourne to live with her sister Georgia. Her parents, Michael and Vicki, and siblings Marguerita and Kosta remain in Adelaide.

Her brother loves MAFS and “trashy reality TV” and she watched the show with him while she was visiting Adelaide earlier this year.

Jamie, a former childcare worker, has emerged as a breakout star of Season 12, gaining almost 200,000 Instagram followers in just 10 weeks. Despite the end of her on-screen romance with TV husband Dave Hand, the public embraced her authenticity, big heart, and bold personality.

“I was just myself and people seemed to like me,” said Marinos, who credits her Greek Orthodox faith for giving her the strength to cope with online trolls criticising her “big mouth and big lips”.

Now back in Adelaide, she said, “everyone’s so lovely,” though locals tend to be more reserved. “They’re just like, ‘is that her?’”
