Married At First Sight star’s leaked texts confirm shock split with her TV husband after his bombshell confession
Married At First Sight bride Morena Farina has called time on her relationship with her groom Tony Mojanovski after she discovered he was still married in real life.
The 57-year-old fitness instructor recently confided in MAFS veteran Harrison Boon that she ended things with Tony, 53, after learning he was still in love with his real-life wife.
The former MAFS bad boy, 34, then received permission from Morena to share their text exchange to social media, with the messages revealing why she ended the relationship.
‘I don’t care that I didn’t find love. I don’t care that he is separated and dating. I took three years to get my divorce so it’s okay,’ Morena began in the texts.
‘What I care about is he told everyone at the commitment ceremony, which is this week, that he loves his wife. He told directors and producers, “Bring my wife in”.’
Morena then said she was asked by MAFS producers to not speak up about Tony’s marital challenges, but did not heed their advice.

‘He loves his wife. I’ve actually told him that. Why didn’t you chase your wife instead of this experiment?’ Morena said.
‘They said to stop talking. Well, I didn’t let it go and still haven’t.’
She added Tony and his wife were currently going through a trial separation and she was living in America – but the pair were hoping to work things out.
Morena said she clashed with both Tony and the production crew by refusing to appear onscreen alongside his wife.
‘He really thought he could come on the show and get his wife on. I ruined their filming. This is why there was no footage of our honeymoon,’ Morena wrote.
Earlier this week, Daily Mail Australia revealed that Morena’s outrage has been bubbling beneath the surface for weeks, with footage now capturing her unfiltered rant about the show’s production and her experience.
In the video, Morena expressed relief she wasn’t heavily featured in the show’s promotional materials.
‘If you can remove me, just make Tony love himself enough to marry himself,’ she quipped, taking a swipe at her groom and all but confirming the couple do not last the distance.

But her real fury was rooted in the shocking revelation that Tony was still legally tied to his ex.
Despite the drama, she insisted she had no regrets, crediting the experience for introducing her to lifelong friendships.
‘I wouldn’t be here tonight before with you guys, if I didn’t go on that show,’ she said, referring to three close friendships she formed during filming.
Morena didn’t hold back when discussing the show’s production team, suggesting participants were exploited for entertainment.
Recalling a conversation with a producer, she remarked, ‘All good things come to an end, my darling.’
She then hinted her time on the show was brief.
‘When it does, it ends. In saying that, I’ve got no regrets,’ she added, making it clear she was ready to move on from the experience.
During her 10-minute rant, Morena slammed the way Channel Nine shapes contestants’ narratives, revealing her disbelief at how the network had constructed her on-screen persona based on months of filming.
Morena vowed to never support the network again – despite not having seen how her storyline plays out on television.
‘I’ve learnt, I’ve grown, and I’m going to grow even more,’ she said, making it clear she was focused on personal development rather than chasing fame.
Despite Morena’s sensational claims, Daily Mail Australia understands up until now she has been playing ball with the network.
Married At First Sight continues Sunday at 7:00pm on Channel Nine.
