MAFS BOMBSHELL: Controversial Groom Hard Launches Hunky New Boyfriend Just Months After Bitter TV Split!
A controversial groom from Married At First Sight Australia has hard-launched his new boyfriend just months after a bitter split on the show.
Chris Robinson, 39, appeared on series 13 of the hit reality series, which aired earlier this year. The farmer and gym owner tied the knot with Sam Stanton, 34, becoming the show’s first male same-sex intruder couple. Sparks flew early, but the romance did not last.
Taking to Instagram, Chris shared a video that opened with him sitting alone on a sofa. On-screen captions read: “Will I ever meet someone who loves me for me…” followed by “Will I ever meet someone who can handle me and my sass…”
His new man then walked into the room and the pair shared a passionate kiss, with Fergie’s “London Bridge” playing over the footage. The post left little doubt that Chris has firmly moved on.
The timing is notable. It comes after footage aired on the companion show After the Dinner Party that left both Sam and viewers stunned. In the clip, Chris was shown speaking to fellow cast member Gia Fleur after the couple had disagreed over plans outside the experiment. He was heard berating Sam, their relationship and Sam’s living situation.
Sam later said he was really “hurt” by the footage and described it as “b******t.”
Chris and Sam’s time on the experiment was already marked by tension. As an intruder couple they initially connected strongly, but underlying issues — including Chris’s dual journey into fatherhood via surrogacy and donor arrangements, which he was initially reluctant to fully disclose — contributed to the eventual breakdown. The pair ultimately parted ways during the final stages of the experiment, later exchanging amicable messages acknowledging the intensity of the experience.
Chris has since focused on his farm life, fitness business and growing role as a father. His decision to go public with a new relationship so relatively soon after the on-screen drama signals a clear shift. The playful, self-aware tone of the Instagram video — complete with the dramatic entrance and upbeat soundtrack — suggests he is ready to leave the MAFS chapter behind and embrace whatever comes next.
Whether this new romance proves more lasting than the one forged under the experts’ guidance remains to be seen. For now, the hard launch makes one thing plain: Chris Robinson is no longer waiting on the sofa wondering if someone can handle his sass. Someone already has.
