Married At First Sight Australia bride Gia Fleur has finally broken her silence on reports that she lost her nursing job due to her controversial behavior on the show. Speaking on Australia's The Villain Edit podcast, Gia revealed that she was not actually working as a nurse when she applied for the series.
Gia Sets the Record Straight
Following her explosive departure from MAFS Australia 2026, rumors circulated that Gia had been fired from her job as a nurse. However, Gia clarified: 'No. I wasn’t even working in that job when I applied for MAFS. Everyone’s like, she’s lost her job. I didn’t even work in that job. I haven’t worked in that job for years.'
On the show, Gia was listed as a 'Disability Support Worker,' but she disclosed that she had not been in that career for approximately six years. Instead, she was working in property development at the time of her application. 'I was in property development. I was flipping houses. That’s what I was doing. But it didn’t look good for them, I guess, to put that as my job title, so they ran with the disability support,' she explained.
Other Contestants Face Real Consequences
While Gia avoided job loss, fellow bride Bec was not as fortunate. Bec, who worked as an Account Manager, admitted that her behavior on MAFS led to her dismissal. In an interview, she said: 'I’ve lost my job and I feel like I’m pretty much unemployable now.' She elaborated: 'After my abhorrent behavior at dinner party three was aired, my employer, the very next day, suggested I don’t come back after MAFS had finished airing. I declined. A week later, I was informed I didn’t have an option to stay and was dismissed from my workplace!'
Gia's actions on the show were among the most dramatic, contributing to the breakdown of her marriage to Scott McCristal and sparking widespread discussion among viewers. Despite embracing her 'villain' title, she has now set the record straight regarding her employment status.
