It seems the Married At First Sight alumni are no longer content with fleeting fame and they’re storming the podcasting world one mic at a time.
In a surprise twist no one saw coming, MAFS groom Jeff Gobbels has taken an unexpected pivot from honeymoon dramatics to basketball banter.
The popular TV star has joined forces with former NBL stars Pete Hooley and Tommy Sheridan to co-host Ausmerican Aces: NBA Show.
‘It’s funny, fast, and always on point,’ Jeff, 40, told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday. ‘We cut through the sh*t and say it how it is’.
Jeff, who was paired with Rhi Disljenkovic on the Channel Nine dating show earlier this year, is now talking MVP picks and defensive stats.

Jeff has joined forces with former NBL stars Pete Hooley and Tommy Sheridan to co-host a new sport podcast called Ausmerican Aces: NBA Show
‘We discuss Coaches Mayhem, early predictions for the East and West, the MVP debate, and the Defensive Player of the Year race,’ the trio shared on socials ahead of the show’s third episode – which features none other than tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis in the guest chair.
The popular podcast is already proving a hit with fans and regularly sees the trio chat to popular athletes.
While some may scratch their heads at Jeff’s new hustle, he’s far from the only MAFS alum to throw their hat in the podcasting ring.
Carina Mirabile, who also appeared on MAFS in 2025, has just dropped the first episode of This Is Chaos, her chaotic-good foray into the world of audio content.
The fashion-forward firecracker is joined by her real-life bestie, celebrity hairstylist Jacob Muller, and the duo are wasting no time serving unfiltered takes on fashion, beauty, empowerment – and everything in between.
‘Welcome to This Is Chaos, a brand new podcast with Married At First Sight’s Carina Mirabile and her bestie… where fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and raw honesty collide!’ the show’s official description reads.
And that’s not all.
Daily Mail Australia hears whispers that Adrian Araouzou, never one to shy away from controversy, is in talks to launch his own podcast – one that promises bombshells, shock guests, and possibly some former castmates.

Of course, all these MAFS mic-grabbers are chasing the heels of Domenica Calarco and Ella Ding, who set the standard with their hit show Sit With Us.
Launched in the wake of their star-making turns on MAFS in 2022, the pair’s podcast soared up the charts thanks to their signature blend of sass, sisterhood and spilt tea.
Though the duo eventually parted ways personally and professionally – with Ella leaving the show – it marked a pivotal shift, proving that MAFS alumni can build genuine media careers off-screen.
More recently, Tahnee Cook has joined fan favourite Selina Chhaur in hosting Nova’s successful Back to Reality podcast.
One thing’s for sure – the MAFS class of seasons past aren’t fading into obscurity.
They’re popping up in your feeds, in your earbuds, and now, apparently, on the NBA beat.
