EXCLUSIVE: The latest groom has a history of being in front of the camera.
Despite fans calling for more ‘everyday’ participants on Married At First Sight, it appears the upcoming twelfth season will be filled with plenty of familiar faces. In addition to former reality stars and TikTok influencers, Yahoo Lifestyle can reveal that a former Neighbours actor has joined the cast of the popular reality show.
Jeff Gobbels was spotted filming his wedding in Sydney on Thursday morning, tying the knot with previously announced participant Rhi Disljenkovic. Photos obtained by Yahoo Lifestyle show the 2025 groom looking dapper in a black three-piece suit with a white corsage.

Jeff debuted on Neighbours in 2017 playing police officer Kurt Bridges, and went on to appear in three episodes. He is also the director of two businesses, a fruit-infused water range called Fi Water and an alcohol brand called Splash Vodka, and previously played football for Balwyn Tigers FC.
His appearance on MAFS isn’t the first time he has tied the knot, as the groom previously got married in 2019. Yahoo Lifestyle understands the couple split in 2021.
Who else has been cast in MAFS 2025?
It was revealed last week that former Bachelor star Sierah Swepstone had joined the cast, as well as Perth-based fitness coach Paul Antoine who previously appeared on Channel 10’s short-lived reality show The Real Love Boat in 2022.
Meanwhile, Yahoo Lifestyle revealed on Tuesday that ‘TikTok tradie’ Dave Thomas, who is a bodybuilder and part-time model, had been spotted getting married to his mystery bride in Sydney.
The Victorian-based groom runs his own caulking business and has amassed almost 30,000 followers on TikTok posting videos documenting his renovations.
