The buzz around Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2025 is already heating up, with some of the newlyweds’ identities leaking early, thanks to some eager paps.
Among them is Melbourne business owner, former footballer and occasional actor, Jeff Gobbels, who’s ready to find the one.
Here’s what we know about the groom-to-be so far.
He was on Neighbours
Jeff isn’t exactly a stranger to Aussie TV. The groom had a brief stint on the iconic soap Neighbours back in 2017, appearing in three episodes.
His IMDB credits also include minor roles in the TV series Warriors (2017), psychological thriller Undertow (2018), Chinese drama The Whistleblower (2019), and the Aussie indie film A Promise Carved in Flesh (2020).
He’s a businessman at heart
These days, it seems Jeff is mostly focused on running his two businesses. He’s the director of Fi Water, a fruit-infused water brand, and Splash Water, a hard seltzer brand.
He was a footballer
Before stepping in front of the camera, Jeff played Aussie rules football for the Balwyn Football Club, based in the eastern Melbourne suburb of Balwyn. Go Tigers!
He’s into horse racing and snowboarding
According to the groom’s Intsa, Jeff is a huge fan of horse racing and has been involved with racehorse Snapdancer.
When he’s not at the races, he seems to enjoy snowboarding, with pics showing off his skills on the slopes in Japan.
This is his second shot at love.
According to Daily Mail Australia, Jeff was previously married from 2019 until 2021. Will MAFS bring him his second chance at marital bliss? Time will tell.
He’s matched with Rhi Disljenkovic
Daily Mail also revealed that Jeff is matched with TV wife Rhi Disljenkovic, a Melbourne-based fitness blogger. The two were spotted “tying the knot” at Gunners Barracks in Mosman.
What’s more, according to the publication, Rhi was already following Jeff on Instagram, sparking rumours that they might have known each other before the cameras started rolling. Scandalous!
