Who is MAFS Australia's Tim's new girlfriend?

MAFS Australia star Tim Calwell is reportedly dating a woman named Barbara. According to Daily Mail Australia, Tim started dating Barbara in February, just weeks after his marriage to Sara ended.

Speaking on the Sit With Us podcast Tim revealed: "I'm head over heels as well, so in love. We're so in love with each other it's crazy."

Whilst Tim has not gone 'Instagram official' with his lover, the couple have been pictured together numerous times since MAFS has been airing.

Following intense media speculation, Tim has recently defended his new relationship, stating that there was no cross-over between his current girlfriend and Sara.

Speaking to Yahoo, Tim disclosed: "The only person I was romantically involved with during the experiment was Sara, which is more than I can say about others."

This news comes after the revelation that Sara and Tim had broken up following their explosive reunion showdown.

Viewers watched as the couple engaged in a heated debate after Tim's controversial comments regarding his wife were made public. The couple seemingly patched things up at the time, however their partnership continued to falter on the outside world and the MAFS favourites eventually called time on their marriage.

Breaking her silence regarding their split, Sara told 9Entertainment: "We broke up a month after the Reunion.

"We didn't speak for a little while after, it was hard for us both but a few months down the track we started talking again."

Despite their rocky journey on the show, Sara has stated that relations between the former couple are better than ever, revealing: "We're definitely friends now, we are very amicable. It's been good to be on good terms because we went through this crazy ride together."

Tim and Sara aren't the only pairing to call it quits after filming ended on MAFS Australia, as Jayden Eynaud, 26, and Eden Harper, 28, recently confirmed their split.

This means that only couples still together from the 2024 series are Jack Dunkley, 34, and Tori Adams, 27, Ridge Barredo, 27, and Jade Pywell, 26, and surprise pairing Jonathan McCullough, 40, and Ellie Dix, 32.
