MAFS’ Runaway Groom Eliot Spotted with Controversial Villain – Shocking Reunion!

BBG News

On “Married At First Sight,” the eloping groom Eliot Donovan was recently spotted having a chat over beverages with one of the series’ most contentious personalities, Bryce Ruthven.

The pair were spotted at a North Burleigh venue on the Gold Coast on Saturday.

In a casual gathering that seemed like a friendly encounter between two well-known figures from reality television, Eliot, aged 35, and Ruthven, age 34, were seen enjoying a drink together, both appearing comfortable and at ease.

Casually clad, Eliot wore an open black shirt and a hat, and Bryce opted for a white t-shirt and a hat too, both of them sharing jokes and conversations with drinks on hand.

During the 2021 season of Married at First Sight (MAFS), Bryce gained attention for the stormy relationship he had with his wife, Melissa Rawson. This partnership was beset by allegations of gaslighting and manipulative behavior.

During the season, he was notoriously considered less attractive than three other brides by many, and there were persistent rumors that he had a hidden relationship with another woman while filming.

Despite the public criticism triggered by his screen demeanor, he has managed to keep his relationship with Melissa intact. They eventually tied the knot off-screen and are now proud parents of twin boys.

Eliot has been the center of conversation this past week, after making his television debut on a dating show on Channel Nine on Monday.

He was initially paired with Lauren Hall, a 37-year-old business owner from Brisbane.

Shortly after getting married, Eliot found themselves encountering difficulties in their relationship almost immediately, which resulted in a sudden exit from the experiment not long afterward.

As a die-hard admirer, let me share this tale from the heart: Rumors swirl that I, being utterly disappointed with the event, bid adieu just hours after the grand unveiling – a hasty departure some label as ungracious towards both Lauren and the dedicated crew behind the scenes.

Eliot clarified to Daily Mail Australia that his decision to leave wasn’t based on significant conflicts or loss of affection, but rather, he felt that a lasting relationship with Lauren wasn’t in the cards for him.

He confessed that the reason for his departure was that he hadn’t discovered love during his stay. His intention had been to find love, but he couldn’t envision a future with Lauren.

Absolutely, among all the potential reasons for departure, I believe that one holds quite a lot of validity. It wasn’t due to any physical issues she had or similar circumstances.

I saw it as a longer commitment, and I wasn’t keen on engaging in a prolonged struggle with this individual over a period of three months, merely for the sake of making the most out of the situation.

When questioned about his feelings towards the experts’ ability to predict matches for him, Eliot acknowledged that although he was receptive to their suggestions in specific fields, he refused to yield on certain matters concerning his future.

During the first episode that aired on Monday, the Queensland businessman who referred to himself as a ‘catch’ left others speechless with his strict demands for a potential spouse.

‘There was definitely things on my non-negotiables, right?’ Eliot said.

‘I wanted someone that was younger than me, preferably someone under 30’ he added. 

Additionally, Eliot expressed some dissatisfaction because his newlywed spouse seemed more interested in luxury items from high-end designers compared to what he found appealing.

As a devoted fan, let me express that there seems to be a shallow veneer in that regard – I’m talking about the whole luxury luggage thing. It just doesn’t resonate with my personal preferences.

 ‘There’s just some things that I know I’m not willing to compromise on.’

Fans of the Channel Nine reality show soon labeled Eliot as the villain, within mere minutes of the first episode’s airing.

His former bride, Lauren, was paired with a new partner, professional golfer Clint Rice.

It was surprising to everyone on set, as insiders shared, that Eliot unexpectedly showed up after dark, joining the scene late during the filming of the dinner party scene.

‘It was like the ultimate plot twist,’ a source close to the show dished.

Lauren and Clint were beginning to feel at ease together when, unexpectedly, Eliot appeared on the scene.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but gush over the invaluable expression that graced Lauren’s visage; it was nothing short of a treasure trove of astonishment, leaving her utterly speechless. On the flip side, Clint, my idol, remained unfazed and unmoved by whatever spectacle unfolded before him.

‘Lauren’s new groom Clint let him absolutely have it.’

News headlines buzzed about Eliot’s sudden departure, as he left only hours following his marriage to Lauren, expressing that there was no emotional bond between them.

It appears his comeback implies that there were still matters left undone, not just between him and Lauren, but also with the other individuals involved.

According to a well-placed insider, Eliot’s return wasn’t just about mending fences with Lauren.

‘Eliot feels like he was misunderstood,’ the source said.

‘He has returned to prove his innocence, yet remains unrepentant regarding his actions. It was clear from the start that he and Lauren didn’t suit each other, and this desire for separation in their relationship persists.’
