The MAFS Australia 2025 cast got back together for one last time this year but where was Lauren Hall?

After weeks of romance, dinner party drama, and emotional conversations, Married At First Sight Australia 2025 has come to an end. But before we bid farewell for the year, we had one final reunion to catch up on how everyone’s doing—and whether any new drama had unfolded.
While most of the original cast returned for the reunion, there were a few notable absences, with Lauren, Morena, Tim, and Jake not making an appearance.
Although the exact reasons for the absence of these four remain unclear, it’s easy to speculate that grooms Tim and Jake’s controversial time on the show played a big part in their decision not to appear. While Lauren also faced some criticism, it was far less intense compared to the backlash directed at the two grooms. So, why didn’t Lauren return for the MAFS Australia reunion? Here’s what we know.

Lauren Hall’s absence from the MAFS Australia reunion has raised questions, although she hasn’t directly explained why she wasn’t there. The reunion typically takes place a few months after filming wraps, usually in November or December. Clint, her former husband, shed some light on the situation during an interview with Yahoo. He shared that Lauren had initially planned to attend the reunion but ultimately decided against it. Clint explained, “We hadn’t spoken for a while, but after our wedding aired, she reached out to check in on how I was doing and what I thought would happen. We exchanged a few messages and had a couple of calls, but that’s been the extent of it.”

Clint rejoined the experiment with Lauren. As for the situation with Lauren not showing up, the former MAFS groom, Clint, had no further explanation to offer.
Lauren’s time on MAFS was quite unusual, especially when she was initially paired with groom Eliot, who quit the experiment after only two days. Both of them later returned to the show, but this time with new partners, Veronica and Clint. However, Lauren and Clint eventually left the experiment themselves, though they both hinted at the possibility of exploring a relationship outside of the show.
