My Kitchen Rules has been around for 15 successful and highly entertaining seasons, and we’ve seen personality clashes, perfect dishes, massive kitchen fails, and heartwarming friendships. Every winner was deserving of the title and prize money, but since being away from our screens, we can’t help but wonder what happened to them. Are they successful entrepreneurs, making appearances on TV, or have they lost their love for food?
We’ve gone down an MKR rabbit hole online to track down some of our favourites and see what they’re up to now.
Where are some of the MKR winners now?

01
Justin and Will
2025 winner
Justin and Will won MKR season 15 in November 2025 and they’ve continued to share their love of cooking online. Justin’s passion for fitness and good food to create a healthy lifestyle is all over his Instagram. He’s got delicious recipes that are big on flavour, minimal fuss and simple to make at home. He’s also launched MR STAPLE, a range of handmade crispy chilli oil made in Wollongong. Will continues to share exciting moments on his Instagram about food, family and culture.

02
Simone and Viviana
2024 winner
Simone and Viviana were an Italian powerhouse with a contagious energy and love for their culture, cooking up both traditional and modern Italian dishes. Best friends in the outside world, they won the title in 2024 and have since had a lot to look forward to. Simone and his partner Victoria welcomed their baby boy in January 2025, Romeo. Together, Simone and Viviana have cooked up a storm on TV show segments such as The Morning Show, and they have dreams to start their very own TV show.

Janelle and Monzir
2022 winner
Couple Janelle and Monzir were fan favourites from MKR season 12. They shared their love of Sudanese and Middle Eastern flavours in the kitchen and since winning, they created Monzelle.

Bree and Jessica
2014 winners
Bree and Jessica’s friendship withstood all the pressure, winning the heart of the nation with their delicious food and their kindness. They are reportedly still really close and Jess still has food at the centre of her world, cooking up banana bread, lasagne and fried rice, as well as baking birthday cakes for friends. Bree works in catering and had her own ketchup line, Ketchup According to Bree for a little while.

08
Jennifer and Leigh
2012 winners
They say high-pressure competitions will make or break a relationship, and the latter was the case for Jennifer and Leigh’s friendship. They were one of the first controversial couples, named ‘princesses’ by the audience during the season. Sadly, they stopped speaking after the show finished, with Leigh revealing to Woman’s Day that Jennifer would ignore all her calls and texts. Leigh shared that she struggled after the show due to media scrutiny but today, she spends her time in SA with family, friends and her gorgeous horses and pets. Jennifer has gone under the radar, not having posted on Instagram since February 2021.

09
Sammy & Bella
2011 winners
Bella and Sammy joined MKR in season 2, where they showcased both traditional and reinvented Polish cuisine. Since their big win, they launched a Sydney-based catering company, Bella’s Feast, and opened Sammy’s Burger Bar. They have made frequent TV appearances on The Morning show, and Sammy even appeared as a guest judge on the Polish version of MasterChef.
