Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2025 is already delivering on the drama, and with the arrival of the intruder brides and grooms, things are heating up even more. One groom leading the chaos? MAFSClint Rice.

Here’s everything we know about him.

Who is MAFS’ Clint Rice?

Clint, 43, is a professional golfer and business owner who has built a successful career in both sport and business. But when it comes to love, he’s still searching for the right match.

After a 10-year relationship ended, Clint took time to focus on personal growth, giving him a clearer idea of what he wants in a partner. 

A self-described romantic, he’s looking for someone affectionate, ambitious, and open to self-improvement. His biggest red flag is someone who isn’t willing to grow.

Who is Clint matched with on MAFS?

Clint is set to marry returning bride Lauren Hall, who was originally paired with Eliot Donovan. In a surprising twist, Lauren is also the recent ex of 2024 groom Jonathan McCullough.

Lauren considers herself an old-school romantic and jokes that she was born in the wrong decade. 

This will be her second chance at love, but there are already rumours of trouble on the horizon…

Was Clint spotted with Jacqui?

MAFS 2025 bride Jacqui Burfoot seems to have split from her TV husband Ryan Donnelly, saying that she is now in a relationship. One of Ryan’s friends also chimed in to more or less confirm that the person she was in a relationship with wasn’t Ryan.

According to Daily Mail Australia, Jacqui relocated to Tasmania, where she’s now been linked to Clint! Jacqui first hinted at a “fresh start” with an Instagram update on December 2, and just days later, she was seen with Clint at a wildlife park in Tasmania.

Apparently, Ryan was blindsided by the move. Talk about D-R-A-M-A!

How it unfolds on screen remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: this season isn’t slowing down anytime soon!

Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
