Former Married At First Sight star Eden Harper has been called out for spending time with this season's 'bad boy'Adrian Araouzou.

The28-year-old, who starred on the 2024 series of the Channel Nine show, recently appeared in a live Instagram video with the MAFS groom and co-starEliot Donovan.

Fans have now slammed Eden for getting close to Adrian, 30, following his chaotic relationship with mother-of-one Awhina Rutene on the show.

One person shared a post to private Facebook group Tea Time, addressing the pair's close bond.

'She has been buddy buddy with him. She was on live next to him and now he's doing voiceovers for her content,' they wrote.

'I have made three comments in the last 24 hours on her Instagram and TikTok page basically saying do better and she keeps deleting them.'

Others agreed, claiming Eden should be cautious about getting close to the groom following his controversial appearance on the show.

Adrian's marriage to MAFS bride Awhina has been anything but smooth sailing, with the pairclashing over communication styles and expectations.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia last month, Adrian insisted he was 'the superstar' of the experiment and has no regrets about his brutal honesty.

During the no-holds-barred interview, the sportswear brand owner doubled down on his candid nature, admitting he's aware his blunt approach has rubbed viewers the wrong way - but insists he wouldn't have it any other way.

Adrian is well aware of the attention he's receiving, both good and bad.

'I think I'm the superstar of the show right now. I'm getting that much love. It's crazy,' he said.

Despite being in the middle of multiple heated exchanges on-screen, Adrian claims he's not fazed by the backlash.

'I'm actually quite enjoying it, man. Every superhero, most superheroes start off as villains. For me, keep talking about me.'

Adrian also hinted at behind-the-scenes editing that may have influenced his portrayal.

A major point of contention between Adrian and Awhina has been discussions around family, particularly her child from a previous relationship.

Adrian admitted that he struggled to navigate these conversations so early on.

'I just met you a week ago. I don't know if I'm ready to get into that just yet because we don't really know each other,' he explained.

Despite the drama, Adrian is leaning into his notoriety.

'They can definitely pass me the crown, mate. I'll sit on the throne, no worries.
