“The Wait Is Over” — MAFS Couple Finally Break Silence On Sh0ck Split And Reveal The Painful Truth Behind Their Breakup
A MARRIED At First Sight couple have broken their silence on their sad split and told of their “incredibly difficult time” behind the scenes.
The devastated E4 show bride, who appeared on the Aussie version of the franchise in 2025, told how the pair had made their choice with “a heavy heart” and admitted it was “one of the hardest decisions” she had made.
This week, we reported how MAFS stars Jeff Gobbels and Rhi Disljenkovic had split – and erased any trace of each other from their social media pages.
It came after we told how the pair had been hit by a cheating scandal.
Now, brunette Rhi has taken to her Instagram Stories, writing: “With a heavy heart, I wanted to share that Jeff and I have decided to part ways.
“This has been one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make.
“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”.
It was revealed on the series that the pair knew each other before their time on-screen, meaning they have a lengthy connection.
Tradie Jeff then took to his own page to upload a similar message which read: “After a lot of thought, unfortunately my relationship has ended.
“This has been an incredibly difficult time and I am trying to navigate this as best 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”.

Earlier this week, we reported how their loved-up selfies and references to their Married At First Sight experience together had been erased.
Last week Rhi uploaded a gallery entitled “bits and pieces for the month” with no sign of her spouse in her glam snaps.
Meanwhile, Jeff’s latest grid post featured snaps showing him and his mum heading out for dinner.
On the show, after Jeff and Rhi found themselves matched by the experts, it only took seconds for the couple, and their guests, to realise their previous connection.
The pair had dated a year prior to filming and were stunned to see each other at the altar.
As Rhi began to walk down the aisle, she stopped in her tracks as she clapped eyes on 40-year-old Jeff.
As some of the guests questioned what was going on, Jeff turned to look at Rhi as he said: “Hey, Rhi!”
She replied back sheepishly: “Hey Jeff.”
Jeff said to the cameras of their previous connection: “She just came out of a long-term relationship, and I just came out of a relationship.
“We both sort of decided we were better off being single.”
