Who is MAFS Australia's Steven Danyluk? Here's everything you need to know about the 2026 groom.
Having given up on dating apps, Steven Danyluk has thrown himself headfirst into the Married At First Sight Australia experiment in the hopes to find the woman of his dreams.
Personality is paramount for Steven, so he tasked the experts to match him with someone who is "ambitious, easygoing, and wonʼt be offended by his jokes". That's why they paired him with Rachel Gilmore, who has a "big personality" and loves to laugh and joke.
A self-described "goofball", Steven isnʼt afraid of being silly and hopes to share a lifetime of laughter with his wife. Here's everything else you need to know about the groom as we witness him settle into newlywed life with Rachel.
The MAFS groom is 34 years old.
He from the state of New South Wales.
Steven owns his own boating business and works as a marine technician.
Steven played drums for the Sydney-based dark rock'n'roll band Kvlts Of Vice.
It's unclear when Steven left the band, but since 2019 they've had a new drummer. However, if you scroll down his Instagram account, you'll find pictures of him sporting jet black hair, a nose and lip piercing, and classic rock and roll eye makeup.
Steven married Rachel on a luxury superyacht in Sydney harbour. Despite having an instant connection, Rachel later reflected on the day and realised Steven had yet to compliment her.
She said: "I'm noticing I've not had a compliment on the way that I look today, my dress, make-up or anything like that."
At the end of the night, Rachel confronted her groom and mentioned that he'd not complimented her all day. Steven was horrified by the realisation, saying: "I really dropped the ball there as a groom."
