Join NowPaired with David Momoh (31, e-commerce product manager and Christian rapper from Queensland), their wedding started promising—mutual physical attraction and shared values—but quickly turned chaotic.
Alissa, self-described as a “pain in the arse,” “high-energy hype girl,” and “slay queen,” interrupted the ceremony mid-vows: “I’m really, really sorry… I don’t think I can marry you.” The twist? “…Not until you get on one knee and propose to me properly.”
David hesitated (“I can’t tell if you’re being serious”), guests murmured, and the standoff dragged on painfully—Alissa’s bridesmaids pressured him, she yelled “Jesus Christ” in frustration, and David later called it a “red flag” in confessionals.
He eventually relented, dropped to one knee, and they proceeded to vows and an intense, tongue-heavy first kiss branded by many as “the most disgusting in MAFS history.”
Fans flooded social media: “Most cringe wedding ever,” “Alissa is a massive red flag—demanding and doesn’t trust anyone,” and “Poor David looked shell-shocked; he should just leave.”
Alissa’s Backstory: Six-Year Heartbreak Fuels the Fire
Alissa entered the experiment fresh off a devastating six-year relationship with fellow influencer Will Giles (“The Millennial Marketer”), which ended late 2024. She thought he was “the one” for marriage and family, but his lack of commitment left her heartbroken and insecure about never feeling “beautiful” or fully chosen.
As a paediatric nurse turned social media manager (with her own training program, The Booty Academy, empowering women through fitness), she’s confident, loyal, and wears her heart on her sleeve—but admits she’s “a lot” and blunt.
Her official 9Now bio calls her “everyone’s hype girl,” a cheerleader who shows up wholeheartedly, yet re-entering dating has been tough after burnout from full-time nursing.
Post-Premiere Buzz: Villain, Actress, or Authentic?
Viewers are split—some defend her demand as empowering (needing to feel secure after past pain), others slam it as controlling or staged (“paid actress” accusations swirl).
Alissa defended it post-airing: the moment wasn’t producer-planted; it was authentic communication of her needs. Paparazzi shots from filming (August 2025 in Sydney) show them holding hands, hinting they lasted the experiment—though no confirmation if they’re still together now.
In a season hyped as toxic and volatile (altar refusals, drug tests, cast feuds), Alissa’s bold energy sets her up as a potential “villain” or breakout star. Her Instagram (@alissafay_) teases:
“Not my most predictable move, but a very intentional one… Sometimes the biggest risks lead to the best love stories.”
With honeymoons and dinner parties unfolding, expect more fireworks—will her high-octane vibe clash with David’s calm demeanor, or spark real connection?
As MAFS 2026 airs Monday–Thursday, Alissa Fay is dominating headlines and searches. From heartbreak recovery to altar power play, this hype girl’s journey is pure entertainment. Tune in on 9Now to see if she finds her forever—or more drama!
