No one expected Rachel and Steven to be the couple embroiled in an X-rated scandal, but Married at First Sight is full of surprises.
Explosive unseen footage aired on the fourth episode of MAFS: After The Dinner Party – now streaming on Stan – has dropped yet another bombshell, this time putting the usually innocent Steven firmly in the firing line.
The raw clip, captured moments before Bec delivered her now-infamous crude toast, shows Steven casually joking with Bec about the most explicit details of his intimacy with Rachel.
“Watching that back, I feel mortified. I’m even shaking just seeing that back,” a visibly rattled Steven admitted on the couch.
As the footage rolled, Rachel sat stunned beside her husband. The clip instantly filled in the blanks for her about why Bec had felt bold enough to make the vulgar joke in front of the entire group.
“I thought I was supported and I thought my partner had my back,” Rachel said, her voice laced with betrayal. “But now it all made sense.”
“You essentially gave a green light to it,” she told Steven directly.
Host Brittany Hockley didn’t hold back, pointing out that it now appeared Steven had let Bec take the full fall for something he himself had been part of.
Steven pushed back, insisting he never gave Bec permission to repeat the conversation in front of the whole group.
“No, but it gives someone the impression that we are joking about this and that it’s light-hearted,” co-host Laura Byrne fired back.
The drama has only deepened the existing rift between Rachel and Bec, which was already being fuelled behind the scenes by Gia and Juliette feeding information to Rachel during the Couples Retreat.
Looking back, Rachel now has a very different take on why the two women got so heavily involved in the drama.
You can watch the full, unfiltered episode of MAFS: After The Dinner Party right now on Stan to see exactly what was said – and how Steven’s apology landed.
And that wasn’t the only explosive moment in the episode. Danny and Scott finally came face-to-face after their friendship blow-up, while fresh unseen footage cast a completely different light on Scott’s so-called “power couple” marriage to Gia.
The UGLY TRUTH is well and truly out – and this season of MAFS is only getting messier.
