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, Daily Mail exclusively revealed the pair had split, 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.

In January 2025, Rhi broke her silence about the shocking moment she came face–to–face with her groom – only to realise he was an ex.

‘It was surreal. You sign up for an experiment where you’re marrying a stranger. And then… I married someone who I’d already dated! A pretty crazy experience,’ Rhi began.

Rhi’s overwhelming surprise was crystal clear when she walked down the aisle, and immediately recognised Jeff.

‘I think the look on my face and me stopping at the end of the aisle says it all,’ she added.

‘I remember thinking, ‘How is this going to work?’

‘That was what made me stop… I was shocked to see him standing there!’ she said.

In May 2025, the couple took a huge step in their relationship by moving in together. 

At the time, the pair revealed a surprising secret – they were yet to have their first argument, reported 9Entertainment.

Rhi and Jeff opened up about their blissful domestic set up in an interview with the publication, saying living together had brought them closer.

‘I know we did live together in the experiment, but [moving in together outside the experiment] really just cemented our strong relationship,’ Rhi told the publication.

Jeff described the decision as a ‘big’ moment for their relationship.
