MAFS Australia viewers were left stunned tonight after bride Stella made a jaw-dropping birth control request of her husband Fillip.
Just weeks into their relationship, the pair had appeared to be one of the stronger couples in the experiment, even confessing their love as they reached the halfway point.
But during tonight’s Commitment Ceremony (April 20), a deeply personal issue came to the surface. And it left both the experts and viewers reeling.

Stella begged Fillip to have a vasectomy on MAFS Australia
As Stella and Fillip sat down in front of the experts, many expected a positive update. Instead, Stella revealed their relationship had hit a stumbling block — with their sex life taking a hit due to Fillip’s fears of an unplanned pregnancy.
The conversation quickly took an unexpected turn when Stella explained her stance on contraception.
She said: “I’m not on any birth control, and he’s terrified of an accident to happen. I personally don’t want to take tablets. I told him, ‘Hey, if you’re so terrified of making someone pregnant, maybe just do a snip.’”
The comment left the room visibly stunned. The late Mel Schilling quickly suggesting condoms, while Alessandra urged Stella to consider the weight of what she was asking.
Alessandra pointed out that it was far too early in the relationship to be considering such a step, particularly if they wanted children in the future, adding that there were other options, and that shouldn’t drive a wedge between them.
Despite the tension, Stella admitted she had been pushing Fillip away at times. And the pair were hopeful for their future.
