Rhi and Jeff kicked off their experience on Married at First Sight Australia(MAFS) with quite a twist. When they met at the altar, they quickly realized it wasn’t exactly “married at first sight” since they already knew one another. It turns out, the two had dated for about a month a year before joining the show but chose to stay friends after both had just exited serious relationships.
At first, they were worried about sparking that old flame again since their connection had turned platonic over time. However, they decided to give it another try. Thanks to various challenges set by the experts—like intimate confessions and an Intimacy Week—Rhi and Jeff gradually evolved into one of the strongest couples on the show.
Recently, the So Dramatic! podcast released a video that sheds light on their relationship status. The clip, shot during Jeff’s 40th birthday bash, showcased some touching speeches from both of them. Rhi spoke to Jeff in front of everyone, saying, “You’re the best person I’ve ever met and the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” Jeff reciprocated with equal affection:
“You’re always by my side, you always have my back, and I’m so thankful for the relationship we have. I do love you so much.”
Since the show started airing in January, the couple has been spotted together on multiple occasions, reinforcing their bond through public outings. While Rhi and Jeff’s story stands out as a success, not all couples on MAFS Australia have had the same luck.
Tim and Katie left during the first commitment ceremony, Jake and Ash called it quits at the second, and other pairs faced drama that put their relationships to the test.
For UK fans still diving into those early episodes of MAFS Australia, there’s plenty more drama on the horizon. But for now, Rhi and Jeff’s journey seems to beautifully illustrate what a success story can look like.
