MAFS Australia 2026: Gia Accuses Stella of Off-Camera Flirting with Husband Scott
The dramatic reality television landscape of Married at First Sight Australia 2026 has been shaken by new accusations from participant Gia, who claims that co-star Stella engaged in "flirty" behaviour towards her on-screen husband, Scott, away from the cameras.
Behind the Scenes Drama Unveiled
While viewers witnessed intense confrontations during the recent "Red Flag, Green Flag" challenge on Wednesday night's episode, where participants are encouraged to call out perceived deceit within relationships, Gia has revealed that there's more to the story than what unfolded on screen. Speaking exclusively to 9Entertainment, Gia detailed alleged interactions between Stella and Scott that have fuelled her suspicions.
"Off camera, Stella made a few comments to me," Gia stated. "She – not flirted – but she said a couple of things to Scott. Like she said, Scott has a nice arse. She said that he's husband material. And she was being flirty with Scott, and I was like, 'get out of here'."
These claims paint a picture of behind-the-scenes tension that wasn't broadcast to the audience. Despite Gia's assertions, the show itself has not presented any on-screen indication of Stella harbouring an interest in Scott. In fact, during the photo ranking challenge, Stella placed Scott in fourth position, suggesting a lack of romantic inclination.
The "Red Flag, Green Flag" Fallout
Gia also addressed the harsh comments she and fellow participant Brook made during the "Red Flag, Green Flag" challenge. She explained that their behaviour stemmed from a desire for authenticity among the other brides, who they felt were presenting overly positive and potentially disingenuous portrayals of their relationships.
"People were playing it really safe, and I think Brook and I were just getting over it to be honest," Gia confessed. "There's stuff that happened off camera that made me and Brook kind of not really love Stella and Alissa."
The challenge saw Bec and Gia aligning against Stella and Alissa, who both maintained that their relationships were largely problem-free. Gia defended their critical stance, suggesting that Alissa, in particular, has a tendency to dominate conversations and seek the spotlight. "She claims that Alissa tends to talk over others in 'every single conversation' to try and be 'the centre of attention'," the report states.
Reflection and Regret
While Gia stands by the notion that off-camera events somewhat justified her actions during the challenge, she admitted on *Today Extra* that, upon reflection, she isn't "that proud" of her conduct. "I think [Brook and I] have reflected and realised that wasn't really girl's girl behaviour... I just think it was not the best episode for us," she commented.
The controversy surrounding Stella's alleged comments adds another layer of intrigue to the already tumultuous MAFS Australia 2026 season. Viewers are left to ponder the dynamics at play both on and off the screen as the experiment continues.
