SPOILER ALERT
It looks like Carina Mirabile and Paul Antoine aren’t the only ones on MAFS who already knew each other

|

I think I speak for us all when I say that I’m counting down the minutes to tonight’s episode of MAFS. How the producers manage to make each season just that bit better is honestly beyond me.

Now, this is the moment you look away if you’re not into spoilers.

With only a few marriages left to go in the experiment, we thought it’s a fitting time to reveal that there is, in fact, another wedding on the horizon where both bride and groom know each other. Insert screaming, crying and shocked emojis.

And while we suspect that Carina and Paul knowing each other was a genuine fumble by the producers, our spidey senses suspect that this next couple was a complete and total set up. My god, this show is becoming more like married at second, third, or fourth sight by the minute.

Introducing Rhi and Jeff, another batch of absurdly good looking and semi-Instagram famous people to enter this season. We snapped their wedding at Gunners Barracks back in July, where it became very, very clear they knew each other as soon as Rhi started walking down the aisle.

Now, when I say ‘know’ each other, I don’t mean it in the same way that Carina and Paul ‘knew’ each other after one date. As it turns out, they’ve literally ALREADY dated, and as recently as last year. And while it looks like everything was kept reasonably casual, these two are clearly very familiar with each other.

Who is Rhi?

For context on these two, Rhi Disljenkovic is a 34-year old IT account manager from Melbourne. On the side, she reviews various fitness spaces around town with her best friend Shayna. A source tells Daily Mail that she’s, “a doll who loves to have fun but also wears her heart on her sleeve”.

And Jeff?

While it feels like a bit of an expert match copout, it does appear that the two are reasonably compatible on paper. 39-year old Jeff Gobbels is also Melbourne-based, an avid footy player and electrician. He’s also dipped his toes into acting in the past, having featured as an extra on Neighbours (lol). And in all honesty, the two do look good together.

Was it an intentional setup?

I find it difficult to believe that the producers didn’t even have the slightest of inklings that this might have happened. After all, they’ve been following each other on Instagram for a red hot second, and the deep dives that Channel 9 go into before casting contestants is pretty bloody extensive.

Honestly, I can only imagine how mortifying it would be to walk down the aisle, let alone on national television, only to find that guy I hooked up with on Hinge standing at the end of it. For that, I give Rhi major props.

And if you feel like we’ve left you hanging, fret not. We’ll be releasing more details and pics of these two soon enough. For now, all we have to do is say cheers to the marriage of Mr and Mrs Gobbels. HA.
