Married At First Sight Australia 2026 bride Alissa Fay quickly became one of the most notable faces of the season, not only for her striking looks but also for her strong, straightforward personality and emotional journey. For viewers curious about the background of this “healthcare girl”, the article below will reveal things you might not know.
Real Age, Hometown And Family
As announced by the show, Alissa Fay is 33 years old. She comes from Adelaide, South Australia, embodying a modern beauty and the lifestyle of a true urban dweller.
Before entering the show, Alissa had been in a 6-year relationship with entrepreneur Will Giles, known as “The Millennial Marketer”. The relationship ended in late 2024, leaving deep wounds, but also became the motivation for her to seek a bold new start on MAFS.
The Truth About Her Job: Not Just A Nurse
If you think Alissa is just a nurse, you are wrong. She is indeed a trained pediatric nurse, but that is not all. In recent years, Alissa has leveraged her influence to become a full-time Influencer with over 260,000 followers on TikTok.
Not stopping there, she is also a certified personal trainer and has created her own workout program called “The Booty Academy”. As a “social media expert”, Alissa has skillfully built a strong personal brand.
The Secret About Her YouTube Channel: “The Booty Academy”
As mentioned, Alissa’s passion for fitness doesn’t stop at the gym. She developed “The Booty Academy” program and promotes it across social media platforms, including YouTube. This is considered a “hidden YouTube channel” that producers might not want widely publicized because it bears her strong personal and commercial mark, far from the “bride looking for love” image on TV.
TV Romance: The “Propose Right At The Altar” Demand
Alissa’s biggest turning point on the show came at her wedding to groom David Momoh. In a tense moment, Alissa stopped the ceremony and demanded that David get down on one knee and propose to her immediately. This action led many viewers to think she was too demanding and controlling.
However, Alissa later explained to the Daily Mail that she hadn’t informed anyone of this plan, including the production team. She admitted she panicked in the limousine on the way to the church, and she needed a solid guarantee that this man would truly “commit” to the experiment and invest his feelings in her.
“I needed something from my husband. If this guy wouldn’t get down on his knees and genuinely commit to trying with me, then I didn’t want to waste any more time,” Alissa explained. She admitted she might have been a bit “rough” in her delivery, but that is her true self, and she wanted to be herself from the very first moment.
Cracks Behind The Screen
Although considered a strong couple, Alissa and David’s relationship began to crack just 4 weeks into the experiment. Alissa revealed that an incident broke her trust in David and she never truly got over it.
She also expressed disappointment that David publicly criticized her on the expert’s couch instead of speaking to her privately, as well as posting content mocking their relationship on social media after the show.
New Happiness After The Breakup
After David walked away during the Final Vows ceremony, Alissa quickly found new love outside the experiment. She is currently dating Australian Ninja Warrior star Nathan Ryles, and the two have publicly shown very passionate affection.
On MAFS: After The Dinner Party, Alissa couldn’t hide her happiness when talking about her new boyfriend: “I’m so in love. I’ve never felt like this in any relationship before. It’s a connection I can’t put into words and I feel so lucky to have him by my side.”
Final Verdict: Who Is Alissa?
Alissa Fay is a modern, ambitious woman: both a dedicated nurse, a successful fitness entrepreneur, and a social media influencer. She is not afraid to show her strong, straightforward, and sometimes “prickly” personality. Although her MAFS journey didn’t have a happy ending, she has found new love and continues to build a solid career, proving she is a woman who knows what she wants and dares to do whatever it takes to achieve it.
