Ever since he was paired with Awhina Rutene on Married At First Sight Australia on the show’s 12th series, Adrian Araouzou has had quite the journey. Here’s everything we know about him…

Who are Adrian Araouzou’s sisters?

What accent does Adrian Araouzou have?
Fans have questioned Adrian’s accent after subtitles were added to some of his scenes. He insisted that his accent comes from living in the multi-diverse city of Sydney. ‘I think people need to understand where I’m from in Sydney is where my accent comes from,’ he told Yahoo! Australia. ‘I grew up in a multicultural community with Aboriginals, Islanders, Australians, Europeans.’
Adrian admitted he ‘100 percent sometimes mumbles’ but insisted he never has issues being understood in his daily life. ‘Anyone in Sydney, or most people will understand – and if you don’t, move along,’ he added. ‘It’s funny because a lot of people talk about the subtitles in the comments and then everyone in Australia messaged me and was like, "what’s everyone talking about? We understood you perfectly fine".’
Who was Adrian Araouzou paired with on Married At First Sight Australia?
Adrian was coupled with care worker Awhina Rutene, 30, from Perth on the show. The pair hit it off immediately due to their shared fact that they are identical twins. But Awhina’s revelation that she has a young son led to some strain between them, as it conflicted with Adrian’s preference for a partner without children. The pair clashed with fiery rows, including with his family, throughout the series.
Is Adrian Araouzou still with Awhina Rutene?
There were high hopes for Awhina Rutene and Adrian Araouzou who made it to Final Vows. After ups and downs, which included him leaving the experiment briefly following a disagreement over a photo shoot, they chose to stay together - before calling things off again.
Awhina’s doubts about introducing her new partner to her son, amid the ‘chaotic’ nature of their relationship, spoke volumes about their instability and they decided to split days after the show ended, citing long-distance and on-screen conflict.
‘I was thinking logical. As much as I really like Awhina, we’re definitely both not in love but we have strong feelings for each other, not strong enough to make the move to Perth,’ he told Yahoo! Australia.
There are rumours that both of them have started dating other people from the show since filming ended, with Awhina with Billy and Adrian with Maxine.
