GIA FLEUR BEFORE MAFS: From Playboy Mansion weekends to rap alter-ego Goldie Volpe and dreaming of Victoria’s Secret – She really has “lived a million lives”
Long before she became the centre of almost every drama on Married At First Sight Australia 2026, Gia Fleur was already chasing fame with relentless energy.
Here’s a deep dive into her pre-MAFS journey – the red carpets, name changes, music videos, and endless reinventions.
1. Glam LA Life – Red carpets & celeb parties
Before returning to Australia, Gia lived in Los Angeles. She attended red carpet events, high-profile parties, and rubbed shoulders with A-listers while trying to build a name in entertainment.
2. Playboy Era – Multiple names, including Cassandra Lee
At the hens party, Gia openly admitted she had been involved with Playboy. Photos show her partying at the Playboy Mansion most weekends alongside Hugh Hefner.
During this period she used several names:
Birth name: Cassandra Lee Bassett
Playboy & modelling name: Cassandra Lee / Cassandra Lee Gallo
Nickname: Cassie
Gia has explained the name change was for a serious reason: “It’s a very sensitive topic. I actually changed my name because of a domestic violence situation I was in. It was a very dangerous situation… So people bringing that up as something to laugh about is not okay.”
3. Music Video Appearance – French Montana & Nicki Minaj “Freaks” (13 years ago)
Gia appeared as a background dancer in the “Freaks” music video. She’s the blonde girl in a white vest top with a dark pink/red bra visible, rocking red lips and chunky gold jewellery, dancing energetically in 2000s nostalgia style.
4. Rap Alter-Ego: Goldie Volpe
Gia also pursued a rap career under the alias Goldie Volpe. A TikTok user claims to have found an old track with her rapping in an American accent, including use of the n-word.
5. Casting Profile – “Princess Cassandra” dreaming of Victoria’s Secret
On an old casting website under the name Cassandra Lee Gallo / “Princess Cassandra”, a teenage Gia wrote:
“I’m an eccentric and outgoing 19-year-old girl whose dream since the fresh age of five is to be at the top of this industry in modelling… I bring a fresh and happy smile with me wherever I go.”
She specifically mentioned wanting to become a Victoria’s Secret model:
“I can do anything from glamorous lingerie shoots to bikini shoots or high fashion. More experience and variety the better.”
6. Now – The latest reinvention
After leaving her disability support worker job, Gia is now a full-time property investor (she’s already flipped six houses). She’s dating Alan Wallace and dreaming of doing The Block with him. She also joked that surviving the jungle on I’m A Celebrity would be easier than a MAFS Dinner Party.
Final Thoughts
Gia didn’t suddenly become a drama magnet on MAFS — she’s been chasing the spotlight for years through modelling, Playboy, music videos, rap, and endless reinventions. MAFS is simply the latest (and loudest) chapter in her long pursuit of fame.
Whether you see her as ambitious or chaotic, one thing is clear: Gia has never been afraid to reinvent herself.
MAFS fans, what’s your take on Gia’s pre-show era?
Does knowing her backstory make you see her MAFS behaviour differently?
Which “Gia era” surprises you the most — Playboy, rap, or the Victoria’s Secret dream?
