Things are over for Married At First Sight Australia fan-favourite couple Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels after they've unfollowed each other and wiped their Instagram accounts of any trace of their relationship.

Rhi and Jeff had an unusual start to married life. At the altar the pair realised they already knew each other, having dated before the experiment, but they never got the chance to fully explore their connection. Due to this, they faced speculation that their relationship was 'staged'.

The pair went on to have an extremely smooth sailing MAFS journey, and they left the Final Vows ceremony hand in hand. Despite building a life together, a year later, things have come to an abrupt end and the pair have gone their separate ways.

Taking to Instagram stories, Rhi announced their split. She wrote: "With a heavy heart, I want to share that Jeff and I have decided to part ways. This has been one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make.

"I'm incredibly grateful for the love we shared and all of the memories we created. Thank you to everyone who supported us throughout our relationship and followed along on our journey."

She added: "Your kindness means more than you know, and I appreciate your respect and understanding as we move forward."

Before she made the announcement, a source told Daily Mail: "They've been 'living apart for weeks' and their relationship fizzled out due to a lack of effort.

"Jeff was not putting in any effort with Rhi. They stopped going out on dates." It's also reported that Jeff is heading to the UK on his own for business.

MAFS fans noticed a shift in their dynamics when the pair stopped posting together on social media, and Rhi was sharing very meaningful posts about relationships on Instagram. One of her posts read: “Choosing relationships that feel calm and safe. Not confusing inconsistency or mixed signals for love.”

Someone commented: "Sorry Rhi have to ask are you and Jeff still together ? Hope so ❤️ I know it is nobody business but you guys. No matter what love you both."

Another commented: "Is she broken up from Jeff?"
