Married At First Sight 2025 is just around the corner, and one groom is already setting social media alight.
Meet Eliot Donovan, the man who has a checklist of romantic dealbreakers longer than most shopping lists.
In an exclusive bombshell teaser released ahead of the new season, Eliot didn’t hold back as he described his long list of ‘non-negotiables’ when it comes to love.
From banning ‘overly loud’ women to declaring career-driven brides a ‘dealbreaker,’ Eliot has left fans questioning whether anyone could possibly live up to his lofty standards.
‘Friends would definitely describe me as too confident for my own good,’ Eliot admitted in the clip.
‘I wouldn’t even entertain a relationship with someone I saw as low class. And if I feel nothing on my wedding day, I won’t even finish the ceremony. It’d be like, mic off, see ya.’
Eliot’s unapologetic attitude has already earned him comparisons to some of the show’s most divisive characters from past seasons.
Fans have flocked to social media, with one viewer commenting, ‘I already love him for the drama, but good luck to his poor bride.’
‘Watch him get matched with someone exactly like that,’ a second chimed.
Another wasn’t so forgiving, writing, ‘Does this guy think he’s Prince Harry? Pipe down, mate.’
The genetically blessed groom hails from the Gold Coast and is known for his love of dogs, frequently sharing photos of his pets on social media.
As revealed by Daily Mail Australia, Eliot’s journey on MAFS 2025 has been nothing short of tumultuous.
Back in August, it was revealed that Eliot packed his bags and booked a return ticket home before the ink was even dry on their marriage certificate.
An insider close to the production team described the situation: ‘Eliot was anything but impressed when he met Lauren. From that moment, it was downhill.
‘By the next morning, Eliot wanted out—no second thoughts, no hesitation. Everyone was shocked, asking, “WTF is going on?”‘
Married At First Sight will premiere Monday, January 27 on Channel Nine
