Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels were spotted looking more loved-up than ever as they stepped out for their final date on the show.
The couple, who have managed to dodge the chaos that’s engulfed most of their co-stars, strolled hand-in-hand down a picturesque sidewalk in Sydney’s Palm Beach.
Rhi, 34, showed off her signature effortless style in a sheer white long-sleeve top.
She paired the look with high-waisted, black denim jeans featuring a trendy rip at the knee.
Her hair was slicked back into a sleek high ponytail, and she kept accessories minimal with a silver chain-strap black handbag and white pointed-toe heels.
Her makeup was fresh and understated, with a touch of blush and a soft pink lip, letting her natural glow shine through.

Jeff, 40, kept things casual yet stylish in a monochromatic ensemble.
The one-time Neighbours actor wore a black collared jacket over a crisp white shirt, paired with relaxed black trousers and fresh white sneakers.
His signature close-cropped haircut and neatly groomed beard rounded out the clean, polished look.
The pair couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces as they exchanged cheeky glances and held hands, clearly enjoying each other’s company.
At one point, Rhi appeared to laugh at something Jeff said, leaning slightly toward him in a sweet, unguarded moment.
Their undeniable chemistry was on full display, proving once again why fans have labelled them the ‘only real couple’ of the season.
Far removed from the drama that’s plagued the experiment, Rhi and Jeff seem to be focused entirely on each other – and it’s clear their connection has only grown stronger since cameras first started rolling.
In an exclusive chat with Daily Mail Australia, the fan favourites opened up about the moment they decided not to entertain a potential date with a mystery suitor – a decision that, for them, was a no-brainer.

At one point the pair were seen packing on the PDA by the water
‘Everything I was looking for in a partner and in the experiment – I already had that,’ Jeff gushed. ‘So for me to go on a date with someone I don’t know… it would be the stupidest decision of all time.’
Rhi echoed the sentiment, adding, ‘We had no issues at all. I got exactly what I asked for. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side – it’s green where you water it.’
Despite being one of the most solid pairs on the show, Jeff was momentarily forced to consider a horrifying ‘what if’ scenario when Rhi was left to wonder if he’d taken up the challenge without telling her.
‘There’s always that split second that you think, ‘Oh my gosh, did he do it?’ she said. ‘But I was pretty sure he didn’t. His joke wasn’t that funny though.’
‘I thought it was funny,’ Jeff playfully shot back, sharing a rare moment of on-screen banter that fans have come to adore.
Viewers have dubbed them the ‘only real couple’ of the season – a title they don’t take lightly, but also don’t let define them.
‘We’re just in our lane, in our relationship,’ Jeff said calmly. ‘Obviously we got involved in other people’s [business] when we disagreed with something… but at the end of the day, the show is about your own relationship, and that’s what we focused on.’
Rhi added, ‘There’s no extra pressure now that the show’s aired. We just do us.’

Of course, not everything was smooth sailing.
Rhi found herself embroiled in a simmering feud with co-star Jacqueline ‘Jacqui’ Burfoot, 29, which viewers saw bubble over during several tense moments.
‘The drama with Jacqui didn’t go on as much as it seems,’ Rhi explained.
‘At the start, I mentioned the texting thing, which I thought wasn’t cool – but she really held onto that.’
She revealed that despite the public tension, things between them weren’t always hostile.

Jeff added, ‘After the couple swap where Jacqui stayed with me for a few days, we were on great terms. She even gave us a bottle of wine, chocolates, a nice card – and a face mask! So, it’s a bit strange to see it play out the way it did.’
Jeff, who mostly stayed out of the conflict, admitted it was tough to watch the drama unfold.
‘When you see someone you care about going through that, it’s hard. But all I could do was support her and remind her I had her back.’
What they really thought of Dave and Jamie’s downfall
Speaking on co-stars Dave Thomas, 36, and Jamie Marinos, 28 – whose once promising romance nosedived following the controversial couple swap week – the duo admitted it was difficult to watch.
‘They were such a strong couple from the get-go,’ Rhi said. ‘After the swap, Dave’s energy definitely shifted, and that made Jamie upset – understandably.’
Jeff added, ‘It was surprising how many couples made it to final vows, especially when you see the same ones sitting on the couch every week having drama with no resolution. It’s a bit of a head scratcher.’
While most couples on MAFS this season were plagued by constant arguments and backstabbing, Rhi and Jeff somehow managed to stay in their bubble of calm.
‘I think it comes down to listening to understand rather than just trying to be right,’ Jeff explained.
‘Even if we disagreed on something, we really tried to see each other’s point of view.’
Rhi added, ‘We always felt comfortable bringing up any issues because we knew the other person would listen and respond, not just react.’

While the connection was instant, the couple admitted it was during Confessions Week and Intimacy Week that things really took a turn for the serious.
‘That was when our relationship turned a corner,’ Rhi said. ‘We both gave the experiment a real shot – and I’m so glad we did.’
So, have they been engagement ring shopping yet?
Jeff cheekily dodged the question, laughing, ‘You don’t know how the relationship ends yet. You gotta watch the show, mate!’
But judging by their undeniable chemistry, mutual respect, and rock-solid bond, fans wouldn’t be surprised if a ring – and maybe even a real-life wedding – is just around the corner.
Until then, Rhi and Jeff are happy to keep things real, low-key, and drama-free.
