MAFS Australia has certainly been delivering on the drama. Jacqui’s obsession with being dropped at her wedding! Adrien’s secret rendezvous with Sierah! Elliot’s shocking return! And now… baby news?! What is actually going on? Surely there isn’t a… mid-season MAFS pregnancy?!
MAFS absolutely loves to tease us with a cliffhanger promo. On Tuesday night’s episode, the promo for Wednesday teased “exciting baby news,” complete with a sort of eerie lullaby soundtrack. Naturally, we were all intrigued (and totally confused).
As it turns out, the “exciting baby news” was — well — less exciting than they would have had us believe.

The MAFS Australia “baby news”
So, what exactly was the “exciting baby news”? Well, it was the news that Tony told Morena he wanted kids one day. Bit underwhelming, we know.
As MAFS fans know, Tony and Morena, the oldest participants this year, have had something of a roller coaster journey so far. After a chemistry-filled wedding, Tony began to struggle with Morena’s strong personality, while she struggled with his stints away from the apartment for, quote unquote, Tony Time. Although things seemed to be looking up for the couple, at the last commitment ceremony, Morena accused Tony of putting her in headlocks and fist-bumping her instead of, you know, actual intimacy.
In last night’s episode, Tony and Morena met up with friends. After Morena explained her concerns about the relationship, her friends had a private chat with Tony, who revealed that one of the reasons he was holding back was that he had been hoping for a young bride who might be able to give him children.
Her friends suggested that Tony tell Morena, explaining that she would understand. Long story short, she didn’t. In fact, she assumed he was lying about wanting a baby and simply using it as an excuse to get out of their relationship.
