Rhi and Jeff started their journey on Married at First Sight Australia(MAFS) with an interesting twist as they realized they already knew each other when they met at the altar. It turned out that the two had dated for a brief period about a year before appearing on the show, but they had decided to remain friends after both getting out of serious relationships.
Initially concerned about reigniting their previous romantic connection since it had turned into a platonic relationship over time, they eventually agreed to explore their feelings once again. Through the expert-led challenges on the show, such as intimate confessions and an Intimacy Week, Rhi and Jeff managed to strengthen their bond and emerged as one of the most solid couples on the series.
Recently, the So Dramatic! podcast revealed a video shedding light on the current status of their relationship. The footage, captured during Jeff’s 40th birthday celebration, captured some heartfelt speeches exchanged between the pair. In front of the gathered guests, Rhi expressed her emotions to Jeff, proclaiming, “You’re the best person I’ve ever met and the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” Jeff reciprocated the sentiment with equal sincerity:
“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.
