Popular Married At First Sight groom reveals plans to return to reality TV - but it's not what fans may think
Married At First Sight groom Jeff Gobbels has hinted at a surprising return to reality television - but fans expecting a stint on The Block may need to think again. The 40-year-old electrician from Melbourne, who found love with bride Rhi Disljenkovic on the most recent season of MAFS, took to social media to reveal his sights are now set on the small screen once again - but this time, in the kitchen. Jeff, who runs the popular foodie Instagram account Jeff Eats, shared a candid moment during a cosy dinner with his girlfriend Rhi and fellow MAFS bride Beth Kelly, where he teased the idea of fronting his own cooking show. 'Would I do my own cooking show? I think I would,' Jeff told his followers as he served up a home-cooked meal to the ladies. Beth didn't hold back her praise, exclaiming, 'Yeah. You're amazing. This is amazing. Like restaurant quality.'

The 40-year-old electrician from Melbourne, who found love with bride Rhi Disljenkovic (both pictured) on the most recent season of MAFS, took to social media to reveal his sights are now set on the small screen once again - but this time, in the kitchen 'Restaurant quality?' Jeff asked, clearly chuffed with the feedback. 'Yeah. Love that,' Beth added. 'I'm so impressed.' The impromptu dinner party clip has since sparked speculation that Jeff may be eyeing a culinary career on screen, blending his newfound fame with his passion for food. It comes amid rumours Jeff and Rhi were set to appear on The Block as contestants - speculation the pair have so far remained tight-lipped on. But based on Jeff's latest online content, it seems his focus is firmly on the food scene. In a recent review posted to his foodie platform, Jeff visited the renowned Melbourne Italian eatery Osteria Ilaria and shared a detailed breakdown of his experience. 'When I started Jeff Eats, it was not only to bring you delicious recipes you can make for yourself at home, but also to show you around some of the best restaurants and try some of the best food around Melbourne and Australia,' he explained in the video. Jeff raved about the beef tartare, describing it as 'unreal,' and rated the pasta and steak 'sensational' and 'cooked to perfection.' The ocean trout was 'okay,' while the dessert didn't quite hit the mark. 'The dessert was average if you ask me, but maybe you're not,' he quipped with a laugh. Still, he awarded the overall dining experience a solid 8 out of 10. Jeff's unexpected pivot into the food and lifestyle space appears to be gaining traction with fans, many of whom have called for him to get his own series or guest role on shows like My Kitchen Rules or MasterChef. It comes after the fan favourite groom announced that he has joined forces with former NBL stars Pete Hooley and Tommy Sheridan to co-host Ausmerican Aces: NBA Show. 'It's funny, fast, and always on point,' Jeff told Daily Mail Australia last month. 'We cut through the sh*t and say it how it is'. Jeff is now talking MVP picks and defensive stats. 'We discuss Coaches Mayhem, early predictions for the East and West, the MVP debate, and the Defensive Player of the Year race,' the trio shared on socials ahead of the show's third episode - which features none other than tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis in the guest chair. The popular podcast is already proving a hit with fans and regularly sees the trio chat to popular athletes. While some may scratch their heads at Jeff's new hustle, he's far from the only MAFS alum to throw their hat in the podcasting ring. Carina Mirabile, who also appeared on MAFS in 2025, has just dropped the first episode of This Is Chaos, her chaotic-good foray into the world of audio content. The fashion-forward firecracker is joined by her real-life bestie, celebrity hairstylist Jacob Muller, and the duo are wasting no time serving unfiltered takes on fashion, beauty, empowerment - and everything in between. 'Welcome to This Is Chaos, a brand new podcast with Married At First Sight's Carina Mirabile and her bestie… where fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and raw honesty collide!' the show's official description reads. And that's not all. Daily Mail Australia hears whispers that Adrian Araouzou, never one to shy away from controversy, is in talks to launch his own podcast - one that promises bombshells, shock guests, and possibly some former cast mates. Of course, all these MAFS mic-grabbers are chasing the heels of Domenica Calarco and Ella Ding, who set the standard with their hit show Sit With Us. Launched in the wake of their star-making turns on MAFS in 2022, the pair's podcast soared up the charts thanks to their signature blend of sass, sisterhood and spilt tea. Though the duo eventually parted ways personally and professionally - with Ella leaving the show - it marked a pivotal shift, proving that MAFS alumni can build genuine media careers off-screen. More recently, Tahnee Cook has joined fan favourite Selina Chhaur in hosting Nova's successful Back to Reality podcast. One thing's for sure - the MAFS class of seasons past aren't fading into obscurity. They're popping up in your feeds, in your earbuds, and now, apparently, on the NBA beat.

Married At First Sight star Carina Mirabile reveals the REAL story behind her TV groom Paul Antoine's shocking door punching incident including his surprising sex confession
Married At First Sight star Carina Mirabile has revealed new shock details about her TV husband Paul Antoine's shocking door punching incident which aired on the Channel Nine show earlier this year. During the emotionally charged episode, Paul sensationally punched a door in the couple's shared apartment after Carina made what she thought was an offhand comment about a dalliance with US rapper Quevo. The incident set the couple down a rocky relationship road, as well as shocking viewers and sparking a police investigation. Speaking about the incident on her new podcast with celebrity hairstylist Jacob Mueller, This Is Chaos, Carina recalled the lead up to Paul's violent outburst - a double date with couple Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels. She explained that what she thought was an innocent comment about her tryst with Quevo triggered something in Paul. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We were taking turns putting on a song [in an Uber]. I put on a song and it was one with Quavo in it. I said, "I slept with him" as it was funny and stupid, we all laughed about it. Paul laughed as well,' she said. 'Then when we get back to the apartment and Paul was so furious. He was frustrated, I could see he was upset. He was pacing, he had to go the balcony, I was thinking okay this isn't normal, something is up.' Carina added that she thought her comment would be inconsequential, given a shock confession Paul made to Carina that was cut from the show's final edit. 'When Paul and I were doing Confessions Week at the start of the experiment, he openly said that he was into swinging with his ex-partner,' Carina revealed. 'I was like, are you for real? Does your family know about this? Then he told me all about his past dating life and I just let it go.' Given Paul's racy confession, Carina said that she was surprised at Paul's reaction to her own admission. 'He was just so upset and dramatic about the whole Quavo situation. I kept apologising, he kept saying he was embarrassed that I openly said that. I kept saying sorry, sorry, sorry. I didn't feel unsafe, it was just us having a fight,' she said. 'I said, "but you openly said, on camera, for a national television show, that you had slept with swingers and did swinging with your ex so I didn't think [me sharing that story] that was a bad thing." Carina added that she thought her comment would be inconsequential, given a shock confession Paul made to Carina that was cut from the show's final edit. 'When Paul and I were doing Confessions Week at the start of the experiment, he openly said that he was into swinging with his ex-partner,' she revealed 'Where's the juxtaposition between this? What is okay and not okay? You're allowed to do that and I just have to accept it? But when I say something about my past sex life you have a massive blow up?' Carina then revealed that a producer, hearing the arguing coming from the couple's room, tried to intervene prior to Paul's outburst. She said the producer encouraged Paul to take a walk to calm down, but an evening stroll did little to allay the groom's temper. 'He was angry, pacing and breathing heavily. I just said, "let's go to bed, let's go to bed." So we're laying in bed, I could hear him panting and I asked, "what's going on? Are you okay?" He got up and said "no, I'm not okay." 'He got up and bang, bang. I was like holy shit this has now gotten so much serious. I was freaking out, thinking how did it get from that comment to this situation?' Carina, who stayed with Paul following his outburst, said that she regrets standing by her man, adding that she feels she let domestic violence victims down. 'Watching that back as it aired, with all of the viewers of the show, I know I 100 per cent let down so many women and victims of domestic violence,' she said. 'While it was all happening [during filming], I was processing it all and didn't know what was happening. Carina, who walked away from a heartbroken Paul during Final Vows, added that she is arming herself with knowledge about domestic violence so as not to make the same mistake again 'I thought he was coming from a place of having to create this drama for a television show. There was so much drama with other couples on the show, and we were boring essentially.' Carina, who walked away from a heartbroken Paul during Final Vows, added she is arming herself with knowledge so as not to make the same mistake again. He hadn't shown me any bad behaviour signs or signs of domestic violence at all [prior to that night] and it all happened so out of a blue,' she said. 'I am now trying to educate myself so I can identify things like this and signs for my future relationship. Before this I had never experienced any form of domestic violence.' Speaking about the incident in April, Paul told Daily Mail Australia that lack of sleep was one catalyst for his outburst. 'I was mentally drained. We were filming 12 to 14 hours a day, and I was running on five hours of sleep. I just snapped,' he said. Paul added he felt Carina's apologies over her public admission were 'deflective' adding that his reaction was 'unacceptable'. 'I walked out of the room and I lost control. The moment it happened, I instantly felt shame. I felt disgusted,' he said. Paul also confirmed that this kind of behaviour had never happened before in his life. 'My friends, my family — they know me. That's not who I am. I've never lashed out like that.'

Married At First Sight couple Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels open up about their biggest relationship secret as they confirm a major new step
Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels have taken the next big step in their relationship after becoming the biggest success story of Married At First Sight Australia this year. The happy couple confirmed on Thursday they have moved into a new home together in Melbourne. The loved-up pair also revealed a surprising secret—they have yet to have their first argument, reported 9Entertainment. Rhi, 34, and Jeff, 39, opened up about their blissful domestic set up in a new interview with the publicaiton, saying living together has just brought them closer together. '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. 'I think that was a big step for our relationship. We came out of the experiment, and in such a short space of time, we decided to move in with each other,' Jeff said. 'It was just really cool being able to pick out the stuff you want for your own apartment and really build a home together,' the said. Jeff said the happy couple moved into a completely new place, describing the decision as a 'big' moment for their relationship. Meanwhile, Rhi shut down any specific future plans including tying the knot and starting a family. 'A lot of people are asking, like, "Will you have kids, are you going to get married? What is the plan?" I think for the next year, it's more about seeing where life takes us,' Rhi said. It comes after Rhi and Jeff took to Instagram last month to update fans on their relationship status with a series of romantic snaps. In one shot, Jeff and Rhi snuggled up on a couch for a cosy selfie—Jeff wearing a white cap and black tee, while Rhi kept it casual in a brown shirt and minimal makeup, her dark hair swept back effortlessly. In another cheeky image, the duo were captured inside a car with Rhi behind the wheel looking effortlessly glam in a sleeveless cream outfit and sleek black sunglasses. Meanwhile, Jeff sipped from a brown bottle, flashing his silver watch and sporting retro frames. Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, the couple confirmed they are still going strong. 'We got married on the 25th of July last year, so July coming up,' Rhi revealed. 'It's crazy to think it would be our one-year anniversary since walking down the aisle.' Jeff chimed in: 'Yeah, we are feeling great. Can't believe it's all done and dusted. It's a little bit sad to be honest.' Reflecting on their reunion dinner party, the couple said they weren't nervous to return—rather, they found it entertaining to see the other cast members unload. The reunion episode also featured a milestone moment for the couple, with Jeff telling Rhi he loved her for the first time on camera. 'It was genuine,' Rhi said. 'That was the first time that we had said "I love you".' Asked to reveal the quirkiest thing they've learned about one another, Jeff joked: 'Rhi's a bit of a nerd.' When asked about their intimacy, Rhi candidly said: 'Our sex life was actually great when we met a year and a half ago. 'That was never the issue. I think timing was the issue… but no, this time around, it's better.' When asked if he ever had to propose, Jeff replied: 'I probably wouldn't do it at a public event with heaps of randoms.
