He openly embraces tradition, hates &#8216;woke&#8217; views, and said he desired a &#8216;submissive&#8217; wife&#8230; comments his ex-wife, Tove Thoreson, has since addressed. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">In his early twenties Tyson married Tove, a Mormon woman from Utah. The couple maintained a long-distance relationship during his deployment as a soldier. However, once he moved back to Australia their relationship ended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">While viewers watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.com\/news\/tv-film\/married-at-first-sight\/australia-mafs-stephanie-tyson-still-together-split\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">his marriage<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.com\/news\/tv-film\/married-at-first-sight\/mafs-australia-stephanie-marshall-age-job-husband\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Stephanie Marshall<\/a> unfold, Tove has spoken out for the first time to share her stance on his controversial comments since appearing on the show. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Tyson and Stephanie pictured at their reception.\" class=\"content-image\" data-image-catalogue-id=\"803263\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/803263.webp\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>    Tyson married Stephanie on the show.<\/p>\n<p>Picture:<br \/>\nNine<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Speaking in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-15608417\/Mormon-ex-wife-MAFS-Tyson-Gordon-breaks-silence-unhealthy-marriage.html\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">recent interview<\/a>, Tove stated that the man audiences are currently watching on television does not reflect the values she holds. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">She said: \u201cI do not support or agree with the behaviour he has shown on television or what I experienced in real life.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">While Tove acknowledged their marriage may have appeared \u201cpossibly traditional\u201d to outsiders, she rejected the way Tyson has portrayed their relationship on the show, as it doesn\u2019t reflect her own beliefs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">As a Mormon woman, she also dismissed the idea that the women in her community are &#8216;submissive&#8217;, saying: \u201cA lot of people may assume because I am Mormon that Mormon women are like that, but that\u2019s not the case.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Ultimately, Tove revealed that they haven\u2019t spoken in over six years since their relationship ended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Having not spoken in years, Tove claimed she can&#8217;t comment whether Tyson&#8217;s views have changed since they were together. However, it&#8217;s clear he has a strong dislike of &#8216;woke&#8217; views, especially when he shared his dealbreakers with relationship expert John Aiken.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">He said: &#8220;A woman with green hair. That&#8217;s the first red flag. A woman that&#8217;s a complete feminist. Hates men. A woman that hates Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">&#8220;A lot of these woke people I&#8217;ve met aren&#8217;t the sharpest tools in the shed, John.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.com\/news\/tv-film\/married-at-first-sight\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MAFS<\/a> news here:Listen live to Capital, and catch up on any shows you missed, on <a href=\"https:\/\/app.af.globalplayer.com\/Br0x\/CaptoGP\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Global Player.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"31 March 2026, 19:30 MAFS Australia&#8217;s Tyson&#8217;s ex-wife breaks silence on his controversial views.
