Greek-Australian model and rising international personality Mary Vitinaros has been announced as one of the newest competitors on the highly anticipated 2026 season of the Greek edition of Just the 2 of Us (J2US), the beloved celebrity singing reality show that pairs stars with professional vocalists for duets and weekly live performances.
Vitinaros, best known for her presence on global runways, fashion campaigns, and season 5 of Greece’s Next Top Model (GNTM), will be stepping into a new spotlight: the musical stage. Her participation marks an exciting moment for fans, who have followed her journey from modelling to model instructor— and now, her debut in a mainstream Greek television competition.
From Runway to Centre Stage
Although Mary’s professional background is rooted in fashion and media, she has shared her passion for music and performance in the past. Joining Just the 2 of Us allows her to explore that side of her creativity in a high-energy and supportive environment. The format pairs each celebrity with an experienced singer, giving them the chance to learn, grow, and perform some of the most iconic songs live on television.
Vitinaros expressed excitement and a bit of nerves:
“I’ve always loved music and performance, and being part of Just the 2 of Us feels like a dream — although singing in front of people has always been my greatest fear but it’s a challenge I really want to embrace and overcome. I’m ready to learn, work hard, and most of all have fun with this amazing experience.”
The highly anticipated 2026 season lineup of Just the 2 of Us has already generated buzz across Greek entertainment circles, with viewers eager to see celebrities from diverse backgrounds take the stage. Vitinaros’s inclusion brings added star power and curiosity — not only because of her international profile, but also because she represents the growing connection between Greek-diaspora talent and Greek pop culture.
Throughout the season of J2US contestants will be tasked with mastering songs across genres each week, working closely with vocal coaches and their professional partners. Performances are judged by a panel of music and entertainment experts (including Kaiti Garbi), and viewers play an active role through voting and live feedback.
Vitinaros’s journey promises to be one of the show’s highlights — blending glamour, determination, and personal growth in a format that showcases not just singing ability but personality and resilience.
Whether or not she ultimately takes home the crown, Mary Vitinaros’s Just the 2 of Us appearance is already being seen as a milestone in her evolving career. It highlights her willingness to step outside of her comfort zone and connect with audiences in a new and exciting way.
For viewers, the 2026 season of Just the 2 of Us will be one to watch — and Mary’s fans are ready to cheer her on every step of the way.
J2US (hosted and produced by Nikos Koklonis) premiers Saturday February 14 at 8:00 p.m. (Greece time) on Open TV.
