The Golden Couple’s Journey and Their Heartbreaking Split
Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels, once the golden couple of Married At First Sight (MAFS), have officially ended their relationship. Their journey from friends to lovers captivated fans of the show, reigniting hope in the power of true love. However, this chapter has come to an end, as Rhi recently shared the news on her Instagram Stories.
With a heavy heart, Rhi posted: “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. I’m incredibly grateful for the love we shared and all of the memories we created.” She continued, expressing her gratitude to everyone who supported them throughout their relationship and followed their journey. “Your kindness means more than you know, and I appreciate your respect and understanding as we move forward.”
The confirmation of their split came after they unfollowed each other on Instagram. This unexpected move has left fans wondering about the state of their relationship. Their breakup follows a year-long journey since they first captured the nation’s heart on season 12 of the hit Nine show. They made MAFS history by being the only matched pair with a previous dating history. Despite the initial shock, the couple emerged as the strongest of the season, professing their love for each other in Final Vows and quickly moving in together post-show.
In the year since the finale, they have remained active on social media, often featuring in each other’s Instagram Stories and carousels, and uploading funny TikToks pranking each other. However, recent developments have raised questions about their relationship.
Fans had been speculating for some time that things had cooled off between the pair, after a series of Instagram posts from both didn’t feature each other. Now, Rhi and Jeff have unfollowed each other on Instagram, despite Jeff commenting on one of Rhi’s images just four days ago.
Just last week, Rhi sparked speculation the couple had parted ways after uploading an Instagram gallery saying she was “choosing relationships that feel calm and safe, not confusing inconsistency or mixed signals for love.” However, she went on to tell podcast MAFS Funny on May 25 that they were still together, though the podcast stated that people who knew them suggested they had been through a “rocky” patch.
Jeff commented on the gallery of images “love this,” while it appears Rhi hasn’t posted any recent comments on Jeff’s Instagram. He recently uploaded a series of pictures with his mum, which Rhi notably didn’t comment on or like.
The former couple also wiped a lot of Instagram content featuring each other. Jeff is still following one of Rhi’s fitness accounts, while Rhi is no longer following Jeff or his cooking account Jeff Eats.
Woman’s Day have reached out to both for comment.
