Married At First Sight EXCLUSIVE: A smiling Liam Cooper is spotted for the first time since THAT leaked video – as he celebrates his 30th birthday without his ‘wife’ Georgia Fairweather
A week has passed since a leaked video surfaced of three Married At First Sight cast members mocking Liam Cooper and even questioning his sexuality.
But the prison case officer didn’t seem to have a care in the world on Sunday as he celebrated his 30th birthday at Canberra hotspot Kokomo’s with his co-stars Booka Nile and Samantha Harvey.
The trio arrived at the upscale restaurant in a white stretch Hummer, but Liam’s ‘wife’ Georgia Fairweather – who was one of the people involved in the trash-taking viral video – was noticeably absent.

The sighting comes a week after footage surfaced of Liam’s co-star Jason Engler, 35, using a homophobic slur against him, as his ‘wife’ Georgia laughed in the background.
In the two-minute video obtained by Daily Mail Australia, Jason called Liam a ‘full-blown homosexual’ – even though he has made it clear he is attracted to both women and men – and ridiculed him for ‘not going to the gym’.
The video was filmed and uploaded to Georgia’s Instagram account in November as she, Jason and fellow MAFS participant Johnny Balbuziente caught up Brisbane.
A source close to Liam told Daily Mail Australia at the time he felt ‘absolutely betrayed and heartbroken’ after watching the footage.
Liam is understood to have kept quiet about the video until he was reunited with his castmates at the Married At First Sight reunion in February.
