MAFS Star’s SHOCKING Career Change Will Leave You Speechless!
Eliot Donovan from Married At First Sight appears to have pulled off something remarkable, gaining both popularity and affection from the public following his departure from Channel Nine’s experiment.
35-year-old entrepreneur from the Gold Coast was dubbed a ‘particular’ groom when he unexpectedly forwent his honeymoon with wife, Lauren Hall.
He later re-entered the experiment as an intruder when he was paired with bride Veronica Cloherty.
Eliot kicked off season 12 of MAFS with the traits of an infamous MAFS antagonist, yet he transformed into a reborn figure, rising from the embers like a phoenix.
Among my fellow male cast members, I boast the most substantial social media presence. I have amassed an impressive following of 125,000 individuals on Instagram and another 284,000 on TikTok.
As Eliot shared with 9Entertainment on Thursday, my lifelong aspiration has been to delve into the realm of comedy, and it has consistently served as a source of joy and positivity for me.

Eliot started creating amusing TikTok videos based on the happenings of Married at First Sight (MAFS) as it was broadcasted in Australia. He created comic skits about his on-screen bride contentedly sharing a bed with Dave, while he sought guidance to improve his partnering skills.
His humorous perspective on a chain of unfavorable incidents gradually influenced the public’s perception of Eliot, as many spectators found it hard to accept his supposed transformation behind the scenes.
The back-and-forth between Eliot and his bride-to-be Jamie has added an intriguing element to their relationship, and this uncertainty has even contributed to increasing Eliot’s online presence. Since they spent the night together at Daily Mail Australia’s cast reunion party in Sydney last month, both reality stars have been featured in each other’s videos.
Recently, Eliot asked viewers to join him, along with Jamie, on a visit to an animal shelter located in Queensland.
Point of View: You provide her with an ‘adopt, not shop’ experience, is how Eliot titled the poignant video, where he interacted warmly with the dogs waiting for their forever homes.
The video has garnered over 82,000 likes so far, with spectators praising Eliot as a ‘gentle ruler’ and someone worthy of being an influential figure.
– One spectator remarked, ‘This is the reason we transform humans into influencers – for impact similar to this,’ while another stated, ‘I reluctantly have to admit that I’ve become a big fan of Eliot.’
– One viewer noted, ‘It’s because of reasons like this that we mold people into influencers,’ and another confessed, ‘Despite my reservations, I’ve developed a strong fondness for Eliot.’

Eliot shared that he intends to persist in chasing his dream of being a comedian on TikTok, all the while utilizing the platform to advocate for a cause he deeply cares about.
He shared with the news outlet that TikTok provided him a vast platform, enabling us to find new homes for two dogs from our local animal shelter.
Initially, those two canines had stayed inside for a duration of two months without finding a suitable home. However, we managed to secure homes for both of them within just one week.
‘That’s the sort of thing that is like something out of a dream for me.’
Last week, Eliot and Jamie ended the speculation about their relationship by publicly confirming it, putting an end to their fans’ uncertainty.
At an Instagram question-and-answer session, Jamie, aged 28, posted a chuckle-worthy image showing her preparing to trim Eliot’s back hair.
One fan inquired more about you and Eliot, wondering about your current relationship dynamics, saying, “Can you share some insights with us?
Jamie shared, “Eliot and I are very close friends. He’s been an incredible source of support for me. He always manages to make me smile. I feel incredibly fortunate to have him in my life.

The account manager then clarified their close friendship was strictly platonic – for now.
She mentioned that we’re currently living independently, prioritizing our individual growth. However, she added with a hint of uncertainty, “The future is unpredictable.
Eliot mentioned that their bond was extremely strong, allowing them to feel at ease engaging in personal, private activities together.
‘Good friends shave each other’s backs,’ he said.
After they had an exclusive conversation with Daily Mail Australia regarding their relationship, it was during last week’s annual fashion event held at Sydney’s Carriageworks that they were spotted.
It turned out that Jamie had secretly tied the knot with her TV spouse Dave Hand during the beginning of the Married At First Sight season.
When they got back to the location with Eliot, who had been teamed up with both Lauren and Veronica during the program, the comedian from season 12 reminisced, hinting at memories of her wedding that still seemed fresh in her mind.
‘I was hoping Eliot might propose,’ she joked, which prompted fits of giggles from the pair.
But the TV groom was more than happy to play along with the jest.
As I playfully hinted, this moment might generate some buzz – just like when I pretended to propose on the railway tracks of Carriageways, mimicking a romantic gesture for a captivating scene.
