Married at First Sight: Australia Season 12 Episode 37 made its debut on the Nine Network on March 30, 2025. This pivotal episode introduced the much-anticipated Final Vows segment, where couples faced a critical moment—deciding whether to continue their journey together or part ways after their reality TV experience.
Adrian and Awhina’s Rocky Relationship Journey
Throughout the season, Adrian and Awhina navigated a relationship filled with ups and downs. Initially, the couple felt a strong attraction to one another; however, Adrian found himself struggling with Awhina’s responsibilities as a mother, alongside the complications of their long-distance arrangement. Ultimately, the distance played a significant role in Awhina’s decision to conclude their relationship during the Final Vows ceremony.
Adrian demonstrated immense understanding of Awhina’s decision to return to Perth for her son, acknowledging that their relationship faced challenges that were insurmountable. He expressed that stepping away was the most considerate option for both of them.
“After everything, I believe these hurdles are too big to overcome, which is why I’m now deciding that it’s best for both of us that I walk away,”he shared.
The Emotional Final Vows
As they approached the emotional Final Vows ceremony, both Adrian and Awhina felt the weight of their impending decision. In a beautifully adorned setting, Adrian expressed the unique chemistry they shared, albeit with profound trepidation.
“We could have fun doing the most simple task and end up with sore cheeks from smiling too much. You make me laugh, you challenge me and you make me feel seen. In those moments, you have made me see a possible and happy future with you,”Adrian articulated, showcasing the depth of his feelings.
While reminiscing about their journey, Adrian candidly admitted to shortcomings in their partnership. He recognized that both had frequently struggled to support each other during critical moments.
Awhina’s Perspective and Heartfelt Decision
Awhina echoed this sentiment, describing their relationship as a rollercoaster of emotions that often left her uncertain about their status. She conveyed feelings of being overlooked and disappointment with Adrian’s lack of support at times.
Ultimately, Awhina highlighted the complexities of their long-distance living arrangements. Her dedication to her son in Perth made it clear that she couldn’t leave her established life behind, leading her to the painful choice of ending their relationship.
“The fact you live in Sydney, while I have my life in Perth, my son’s life is there, my community is there… The brown-haired, brown-eyed boy I’ve been looking for is at home, missing his mum. You’re not my future right now. This is where our journey ends,”she explained to Adrian.
Adrian respected Awhina’s choice and recognized the difficulties their long-distance relationship presented, agreeing that it was prudent for them to go their separate ways at this juncture.
A Surprising Twist: Renewed Feelings
Just when it seemed like Adrian and Awhina’s relationship was definitively over, an unexpected turn of events unfolded. Amidst laughter, they discovered that they still had profound feelings for each other and did not want to sever their connection completely.
This heartfelt moment led them to decide to take things slow and explore their relationship further, rather than concluding it entirely. In a hopeful tone, Adrian expressed their new approach:
“We’ll go out together, and I think we both know the situation and there’s no pressure to it. We’re just going to go home and see where we stand and how we go,”he stated.
