After calling off her wedding to her ex-fiancé just four months before the big day, the hopeful bride is now searching for her perfect man – a tall, bearded guy with tattoos who can handle her banter.
She's been voted Adelaide's most eligible bachelorette twice but is yet to meet her Prince Charming, so could her luck be about to change?
Here's everything you need to know about Bec from her age, job and where she's from, to her incredible weight loss transformation and "life-changing" jaw surgery.

What is MAFS Australia's Bec's job?
Before signing up to Married At First Sight, Bec earned her money as an account manager in the city. She also reportedly spent time in London working in the real estate business.
Who was MAFS Australia's Bec engaged to?
Bec was engaged to be married before signing up for MAFS series 13, however she called things off just months before the wedding day as she knew deep down he 'wasn't the one'.
She told TV WEEK: "I was engaged to a lovely Englishman but, unfortunately, I just didn’t have those feelings back.
"I realised that if we got married, we’d get divorced. I thought it was better off not wasting my mother and father’s money on a wedding."
Bec Zacharia weight loss
This year's sassy bride has undergone an impressive body makeover in recent months.
Totally transforming herself before appearing on MAFS, she lost an incredible 27kg by overhauling her diet and exercise regime.
She told Adelaide Now: "I hated myself for my whole life, I thought that I was ugly.
"I've worked really hard, I was keto and then I got into Pilates and weight training and I transformed myself, and I thought 'if I love myself, then why can't someone else?'"
Bec Zacharia before surgery
The MAFS bride has also undergone "life-changing" surgery on her jaw, revealing she underwent a chin operation at the age of 21.
"I was actually born with a jaw, sort of a chin defect," she explained.
"Everyone makes comments about why my mouth is like this or what’s wrong with my jaw, but Uncle Michael had to give me reconstructive jaw surgery when I was 20 or 21."
Her uncle, Dr Michael Zacharia, is a famous plastic surgeon in South Australia who has operated on a number of high-profile patients.
Her self-worth soared following the surgery, with Bec admitting: "Without him doing that for me, I looked a lot different. I’m so happy that I’ve got this sort of jaw and chin now that he’s done for me, because before that it was really bad."
"For my whole life up until my 20s, it was rare that you would see me with my hair up, because I hated my jaw and chin so much.
"I was essentially born with no chin. It was a huge insecurity for me every day of my life for 20 years.
"I know people make really negative comments about my mouth and my jaw, but actually it was a life-changing moment for me - and that’s all thanks to Uncle Michael."
