Married At First Sight alum Jessika Power has revealed her brother Rhyce is ‘lucky to be alive’ after a frightening health scare that landed him in hospital just days before Christmas.
Taking to Instagram, the reality TV star shared a series of confronting images showing the heavily tattooed influencer lying in a hospital bed hooked up to heart monitors and medical equipment.
Rhyce, who rose to fame as the ‘hot brother’ during Jessika’s controversial 2019 season of MAFS, appeared exhausted as he reclined beneath hospital sheets, clutching his phone while wired to a blood pressure cuff and ECG pads attached across his chest and torso.
In the chilling photo, the OnlyFans creator stared blankly at his screen while machines beeped beside him, painting a sobering picture of the scare that unfolded behind the scenes.
Jessika captioned the post with an emotional message to her followers, writing that her brother was ‘lucky to be alive’ as she urged fans to keep him in their thoughts.
Rhyce later took to his own page to explain what had happened, sharing graphic images of his injuries and revealing he had suffered a broken scapula following the accident.

One photo showed him stretched out on a hospital bed with his tattooed legs on display, a fresh wound visible on his lower leg, while another update captured him walking with his right leg strapped into a bulky black medical brace.
In the final image, Rhyce was pictured in black slide sandals and shorts, his injured leg fully immobilised as he declared, ‘Let’s get surgery,’ signalling that further treatment lies ahead.
The shock incident comes after Rhyce made headlines following a fiery social media rant about Mexico, branding it the ‘worst country’ he had ever visited after claiming he was ‘searched and harassed’ by border officers.
The tattooed reality star, who was travelling with his longtime fiancée Taylor Peters, unleashed a furious tirade about the country’s food, people and airport security.
‘Out of 400 plus people getting on board. Well what do you know I get searched and harassed. F**k you, Mexico,’ he wrote at the time.
‘Worst country I’ve been to. Place was scum. The food was dog sh*t.Â
‘The people were worse. Hands down the worst I’ve ever come across in the 32 countries,’ he continued.
Rhyce and Taylor had previously relocated to Bali before announcing plans to move to Mexico.
However, his explosive posts suggested their future plans were under review.
Rhyce first rose to fame as Jessika Power’s muscular and tattoo-covered brother during her scandal-filled stint on Married At First Sight in 2019.
He later parlayed his notoriety into an OnlyFans career.
He reportedly earned up to $15,000 per month selling explicit content to subscribers around the world.
