Rhi reveals what she *really* thought about being matched with her ex on MAFS Australia

Shock! It’s happened again! MAFS Australia bride Rhi Disljenkovic has spoken out after she was matched with her ex on the show. Just days ago we saw Carina and Paul get married after admitting they dated in the past. And now it really seems as though Australia is much smaller than we all thought, because Rhi used to also date her groom, Jeff Gobbels.

During the episode, it took Rhi and Jeff seconds to realise they recognised one another. Their guests were also aware of their previous connection. Without needing an introduction, as Rhi arrived Jeff said: “Hey, Rhi.” To which she replied: “Hey Jeff.” It was then revealed they dated for a month, before things fizzled out.

Now, speaking to Daily Mail Australia after her wedding has aired, MAFS bride Rhi has spoken out about being matched with her ex. She reflected on the moment she realised what had happened.

“It was surreal. You sign up for an experiment where you’re marrying a stranger. And then… I married someone who I’d already dated! It was a pretty crazy experience,” Rhi said.

“I think the look on my face and me stopping at the end of the aisle says it all. I remember thinking, ‘How is this going to work?’ That was what made me stop…I was so shocked to see him standing there!”.

She added that despite already having history, the pair vowed to give the experiment their all. Rhi added: “We made a pact we’d give the experiment 100 per cent. We said, ‘We’ve been paired together for a reason, let’s really give it a go.’ You’ll see in the coming weeks we gave every task our best shot.”

Despite people thinking the moment might have been set up by producers, Rhi has said she at least had no idea what was going on. “Jeff and I had no idea we were going to be on the show together… absolutely not. I was genuinely shocked,” she said. “I don’t know if the producers knew… Maybe? I think it was just a fluke.”
