Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 is about to get even spicier, with Chattr uncovering a major upcoming storyline involving a couple swap. Spoilers follow, you’ve been warned!
According to an inside source, everything kicks off when the experts ask the couples to swap as part of the experiment. Rhi Disljenkovic and Eliot Donovan are paired together, plus in an attempt to create some more drama, Jacqueline Burfoot and Jeff Gobbels are paired together.
You’d think that the sensible thing to do here to avoid drama would be to pop one of the contestants on the couch, and one in the bed, right? Well… that’s not what happened.
“Jacqui insisted she would sleep on the couch, but Jeff told the cameras he would take the couch and she could take the bed. Then, once the cameras had left, he claimed he had a bad back and that they’d just share the bed,” a source tells Chattr.
“He claimed that Rhi and Elliot were doing the same thing, saying off camera they weren’t sharing a bed but then actually sharing, because nobody wanted to get a bad back.”
However, Eliot’s wife Veronica Cloherty was left in the dark about the sleeping arrangements. It’s unsure how it will play out on TV, but apparently, Eliot lied to Veronica and said he didn’t share a bed with Rhi.
The Dinner Party is said to be explosive, with Veronica and Rhi going “head to head”.
“Veronica says to Rhi, ‘I don’t appreciate my husband lying to me about sharing a bed with another wife’,” the insider spills.
The group of women are quite tight-knit with Rhi, so apparently only Jacqui stands up for Veronica who gets quite upset.
Eliot and Awhina speak out about the ‘bed swapping’ scandal on MAFS
Eliot briefly touched on the MAFS bed swapping scandal in an interview with Chattr, admitting that he could be involved.
“Maybe involves Veronica, maybe involves me. Maybe it involves a lot of people,” he said coyly.
Awhina Rutene also made a cryptic statement on the scandal, defending her bestie Rhi.
“There’s a lot of challenges presented to us by the experts. And if there is any bed sharing or if there’s any couples doing swaps, just know these are challenges presented to us by the experts,” she says.
“There is no wrongdoing in the majority of people’s cases. And Rhi is someone that would always be very forthcoming with other women if she was going to do something.”
Interesting! We’ll have to wait to see how it all plays out on screen.
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
