Married At First Sight Australia bride Stephanie Marshall revealed the mystery man was a real “comfort” to her during the show.

Married At First Sight Australia‘s Stephanie Marshall has a secret connection to one of the other husbands from series 13 of hit show.

During a recent interview, the real estate agent, 32, revealed that she already knew one of the grooms from the current season – and that man wasn’t her husband Tyson Gordon.

Unlucky for the intruder bride, she probably wishes she was matched with the mystery man, who married someone else right at the beginning of the experiment.

She and her new husband haven’t exactly got off to the best start, with the former Australian soldier claiming she was bringing ‘masculine energy’ to their marriage.

Stephanie simply explained that although she was traditional and conservative, she was still ambitious, driven and keen to work hard at her property sales career.

Tyson’s lack of filter, choice of language and strong views on men and women made her call her new marriage into question.

Even he’s admitted to coming across as ‘arrogant’ and ‘unlikeable’ on MAFS this season.

The ex-army cast member is wildly different to the familiar face she is currently finding “comfort” in at dinner parties and commitment ceremonies.

It turns out that Stephanie knows Grayson McIvor, who recently ‘consciously uncoupled’ from his TV wife Julia Vogl after the pair decided to call time on their relationship.

Speaking of the connection between herself and Gray, Stephanie revealed exactly how they had come across each other in real life (and no, they haven’t dated in the past).

“I worked with Grayson back in 2017 for a very short moment, so to see his face was really comforting as well,” she told Pedestrian TV.

“Just to think, ‘Oh my god, I know somewhere in this experiment, we’re both going through the same thing’, it was a bit of a comfort blanket.”

She added: “We literally worked together for two months, and I haven’t seen the guy since, but just to see his face, there was just a bit of comfort in that moment, which was nice.”
