MAFS Stars Rhi and Jeff Confirm Breakup

Married At First Sight stars Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels have confirmed they have split, one year after finding love on the show.

On Monday, , with sources claiming they had been 'living apart for weeks' before deciding to end the relationship for good.

In two separate statements, the exes both described their breakup as 'incredibly difficult'.

'With a heavy heart, I want to share that Jeff and I have decided to part ways. This has been one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make,' Rhi, 36, wrote.

'I'm incredibly grateful for the love we shared and all of the memories we created.

'Thank you to everyone who supported us throughout our relationship and followed along on our journey. Your kindness means more than you know and I appreciate your respect and understanding as we move forward.'

Meanwhile, Jeff, 40, wrote: 'After a lot of thought, unfortunately, my relationship has ended. This has been an incredibly difficult time and I'm trying to navigate this as best as I can.

'I'm grateful for the memories and genuine love we shared over the years. Thank you for supporting our relationship, being part of our journey and respecting my privacy during this time.'

A friend alleged the romance fizzled after Jeff stopped making an effort in the relationship.

'Jeff was not putting in any effort with Rhi. They stopped going out on dates,' the insider claimed, before adding that the breakup was not explosive and the pair still care deeply for one another.

The signs of trouble had also started spilling onto social media.

The pair, who were last seen together online in March, have unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Rhi was also reportedly unliking Jeff's recent posts and removing tags from photos of them.

Jeff has also deleted several pinned couple photos from his own account.

In another telling clue, Rhi shared a post to Instagram just one week ago listing the small things that had 'changed her life'.

One line in particular caught attention: 'Choosing relationships that feel calm and safe. Not confusing inconsistency or mixed signals for love.'

Meanwhile, online critics have speculated that the couple's relationship was never genuine in the first place, and that they kept the facade of romance going to maintain their joint brand deals.  

'Maybe their contractual obligations were over. Pretty sure they kept up the act for their publicity,' one user theorised on Reddit. 

'Funny it came very close to 12 months after their season finished. Almost like they had an year long contract or something??' someone else wrote.

'This relationship was strictly PR. And I have to agree… it was all too coincidental for my liking,' yet another agreed.

Jeff and Rhi first met in 2023 and dated for a month - before their relationship fizzled out. 

The couple were caught by surprise when they found themselves paired on Channel Nine's ratings juggernaut in 2025.
