There is no rest for the reality TV fan. Just as Love Is Blind wraps up, here in the UK, a brand new season of MAFS Australia has arrived — which means another few months glued to our screens, watching as a cast of total strangers marry and then fall in love. Or, you know, don’t. It’s the perfect premise for both romance and drama, so, naturally, we are here for it.
This season, which kicked off on 9 March on E4, is already off to a flying start. And not always a very wholesome one. Is it just us or are a lot of these grooms sounding suspiciously like (quite misogynistic) Reddit threads? Anyway, regressive gendered stereotypes aside for now, we are tuning in, and we are already quite curious about where some of these new couples might end up.
As long-time MAFS Australia fans probably already know, we are kind of playing catch-up over here in the UK. The series usually airs a few weeks earlier in Australia — meaning you can access spoilers if you so choose. (Consider yourself duly warned!)
With that, here’s everything we know about David and Alissa.

Who are David and Alissa?
David and Alissa were the first couple to be matched in season 13 of the show. Him, a 31-year-old e-commerce manager hailing from Queensland after moving from Nigeria aged 12, her, a 33-year-old nurse and social media manager and influencer from South Australia.
Alissa joined the experiment shortly after the end of a six-year relationship. As she explained, she joined after trying to navigate the “unfamiliar terrain of modern dating.”
As for David, he described himself as “principled, respectful” and someone who “wants to settle down”.
