Married At First Sight Australia<\/a>‘s Stephanie Marshall has a secret connection to one of the other husbands from series 13 of hit show.<\/p>\nDuring a recent interview, the real estate agent, 32, revealed that she already knew one of the grooms from the current season \u2013 and that man wasn’t her husband Tyson Gordon.<\/p>\n
Unlucky for the intruder bride, she probably wishes she was matched with the mystery man, who married someone else right at the beginning of the experiment.<\/p>\n
She and her new husband haven’t exactly got off to the best start, with the former Australian soldier claiming she was bringing ‘masculine energy’ to their marriage.<\/p>\n

Stephanie simply explained that although she was traditional and conservative, she was still ambitious, driven and keen to work hard at her property sales career. <\/p>\n
Tyson’s lack of filter, choice of language and strong views on men and women made her call her new marriage into question. <\/p>\n
Even he’s admitted to coming across as ‘arrogant’ and ‘unlikeable’ on MAFS this season.<\/p>\n

The ex-army cast member is wildly different to the familiar face she is currently finding “comfort” in at dinner parties and commitment ceremonies.<\/p>\n
It turns out that Stephanie knows Grayson McIvor, who recently ‘consciously uncoupled’ from his TV wife Julia Vogl after the pair decided to call time on their relationship.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the connection between herself and Gray, Stephanie revealed exactly how they had come across each other in real life (and no, they haven’t dated in the past). <\/p>\n

“I worked with Grayson back in 2017 for a very short moment, so to see his face was really comforting as well,” she told Pedestrian TV.<\/p>\n
“Just to think, \u2018Oh my god, I know somewhere in this experiment, we\u2019re both going through the same thing\u2019, it was a bit of a comfort blanket.”<\/p>\n

She added: “We literally worked together for two months, and I haven\u2019t seen the guy since, but just to see his face, there was just a bit of comfort in that moment, which was nice.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"8 April 2026, 15:50 | Updated: 8 April 2026, 15:56 Stephanie got off to a tricky start and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-520882","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-tv","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
