Married At First Sight’s Daniel Holmes hints he may have joined the series for fame as he asks fans if it’s wrong to go to MAFS for reasons other than finding love
Daniel Holmes has sparked a heated debate about the authenticity of people applying for Married At First Sight.
The controversial groom, who was involved in an affair affair with Carolina Santos, asked his Instagram followers, “Is it a bad thing to apply for MAFS for reasons other than love?”
Some fans took to the question when Daniel admitted he might not have been on the show for real reasons, though he ended up finding love with Carolina.

“Luckily you got love,” Carolina commented on the post, to which Daniel replied, “Agreed.”
The post was flooded with comments from Daniel’s followers, many of whom shared their own opinions on whether or not authenticity is important at MAFS.
“You go there to make things work with your partner, not to cheat on your significant other,” one commented, while another wrote, “Yes, considering the purpose of the show is for love.”
“Only a real few went there to find love,” added another, while one wrote, “most people who go on this show just do it to get on tv and social media” .

Earlier this month Daniel, 31, and Carolina, 34, told Yahoo! Lifestyle that the producers “encouraged” them to spark a romance, even telling them it was the “right thing” to do.
Daniel also claimed the producers branded Carolina’s on-screen husband, Dion Giannarelli, as an “idiot” while trying to convince her to continue their romance.
“They told us, ‘You’re doing the right thing! Jess is gone! Dion is an idiot! You are doing the right thing!

“Anything bad you do, they say, ‘Oh, you’re doing it perfectly!’ They make you think you’re doing the right thing.”
Carolina agreed, “Yeah, that’s her way of tricking you. Whatever your feeling, even if it’s a negative thought, they always affirm it like, “Yes, you’re so right!”
Daniel later said he had “nothing but respect” for the producers and said the “bad guy” edit the couple received was worth it as they are now happier than ever.
