The twin sister of Married At First Sight star Awhina Rutene has thrown shade at a former MAFS bride after she was busted spending time with groom Adrian Araouzou.
Adrian, 36, and Bronte Schofield, 29, who featured in the 2023 season of MAFS, were seen chatting at the Cottesloe Beach Club in Perth recently, despite the groom still being matched with Awhina on the show.
Taking to the MAFS Gossip Instagram account, Awhina's fiery twin Cleo Rutene took a shot at Bronte in the comments alongside pictures of her and Adrian.
'Having done this experience yourself and knowing how emotional this experiment was to then text another bride's husband the entire time,' she said.
Also featured on the account was a picture of Adrian posing with Bronte, who had her face covered by a grotesque 'screaming' emoji.
The page also posted pictures of the two talking together at the club.

'Adrian has been snapped getting cosy with former bride Bronte Schofield after he was called out for liking her sizzling bikini snaps on Instagram,' the caption of the photo read.
When approached for comment about liking Bronte's snaps, Adrian told Daily Mail Australia: 'She's hot. She's more my type, so of course I'm going to like her photos'.
Meanwhile, Cleo's attracted support from MAFS fans.
'Holy s*** this man [Adrian] gets more vile as time goes past, I’m so sorry [Cleo] I hope your sister is doing better now,' one commented.
Cleo replied: 'I didn’t know who she [Bronte] was before this to be fair.'
Another MAFS fan added a scathing verdict on the shock meet up.
'These two are well matched. Run, be free & love life girls, bad experience in the past now. Let the trash take itself out,' they wrote.
In the pictures, which appeared in Daily Mail Australia on Friday, Adrian was all smiles as he stood alongside Bronte.

Bronte, who was infamously paired with Harrison Boon in 2023, flaunted her toned figure in a cream crochet halter top and high-waisted baggy jeans.
Although fellow grooms Paul Antoine, Tony Mojanovski, and Eliot Donovan were also in attendance, Adrian and Bronte appeared to separate from the group and shared flirty banter at a side table.

A source close to production revealed: 'It was a total betrayal of the experiment. Adrian wasn't here for the right reasons'.
This isn't the first time his connection with Bronte raised eyebrows.
Insiders claim Adrian was caught sending her late-night messages behind Awhina's back - only for Adrian to reveal it to the group during a fiery off-camera confrontation.
With his relationship with Awhina already on rocky ground, it seems Adrian may be lining up a new reality romance before the experiment even ends.
