Adrian Araouzou has found himself without a PR agent just a week after landing one of the best in the business.
The controversial Married At First Sight star has been dropped from Roxy Jacenko’s Ministry of Talent agency just days after being signed.
While the PR maven would not be drawn on the reason Adrian was ditched, Jacenko told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday: ‘I can confirm Adrian is not represented by The Ministry of Talent.’
Adrian sparked rumours that he had parted ways with the public relations titan when he removed Ministry of Talent from his TikTok bio this week.
The reality star also no longer appears on Ministry Of Talent’s website.
‘There are no hard feelings. I understand what it is’ Adrian told Yahoo Lifestyle on Tuesday.
Adrian earlier told the publication that he wanted to move on from the show that made him famous.
‘I plan on dissociating anything to do with MAFS,’ he said.
‘I enjoy creating content, so I’ll continue to keep on doing that just like I was doing before the show’ Adrian continues.
‘I have other business ventures that I would like to explore and see where life takes me. I am an open book right now.’
The groom, who has been a controversial figure during his time on the show, was announced as a new member of Roxy’s exclusive roster last week.
‘Thrilled to announce that @adrian.araouzou is now represented by The Ministry of Talent for social media collabs and appearances!’ a post on Instagram read.
‘Get in touch for opportunities’ it added, while sitting alongside a series of photos of the reality star.
Adrian briefly joined the likes of tennis WAG Costeen Hatzi and fellow reality star Ash Pollard as a Ministry Of Talent member.
It comes a day after he was caught out making a very embarrassing fashion faux pas.
The controversial 2025 groom, 30, was hobnobbing with Australia’s haute couture elite on Monday at fashion icon Carla Zampatti’s Australian Fashion Week show at the MCA in Sydney.
Arriving at the glittering event, Adrian was stopped on the red carpet by So Sydney.
‘Is this our very first fashion week ever,’ Adrian said.
‘I don’t know what to expect. I’ve never heard of it, to be honest. I’m not gonna lie.’
Pressed to clarify, Adrian was then asked if he was referring to Carla Zampatti or Australian Fashion Week in general.
‘Both,’ he replied matter-of-factly.
Despite Adrian’s ignorance of the milieu he found himself in, the reality star was confident of a ‘good night.’
‘I’m open to plans after, but I have none at the moment – I’m expecting a good night,’ he said.
‘Just meeting some people and have a look of [sic] what’s going on in fashion, I guess.’
Adrian was then asked about his ‘fit’ for the event and he admitted he threw his ensemble together at the last minute.
‘This is not my best fit,’ he admitted.
‘I got a ticket late last night at 10:30[pm], so I had to put something together.’
Adrian offered a cheeky comment about So Sydney’s inability to gain access to the event with: ‘I’ll buy you a ticket next time.’
However, one fan suggested that the reality star may have trouble securing a ticket to the 2026 event with a sarcastic, ‘next time,’ and a slew of laughing face emojis.
Adrian also recently denied claims he cheated on his TV bride Awhina Rutene while filming the Channel Nine dating show.
He told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday, he didn’t have sex with another woman while on the show after Awhina accused him of leaving their apartment to spend time with another female.
‘Absolutely not. As if I would need to go have sex with someone in that space of filming,’ he said.
‘I was out for a mates birthday and went past mine to grab a few things then went back to the apartment,’ Adrian explained.
He claimed Awhina had also been invited to join him but decided to spend time with fellow bride Beth Kelly instead.
