Despite being single for six years, this isn't Married At First Sight Australia's intruder groom Tyson Gordon first rodeo, having been married before to a Mormon woman from Utah.
Let's hope his first wife Tove Thoreson had a better experience than MAFS bride Stephanie Marshall on her wedding day. When Stephanie walked down the aisle he declared that she gave off "woke vibes" and their marriage was doomed.
To make matters worse, Tyson also shared his disappointment that she was two years older than him, as he desired a wife in her mid-20s. Then he ended the night by telling her: "There's nothing better than a woman that's submissive".
While we watch Tyson and Stephanie's relationship unfold, here's everything you need to know about Tyson's past marriage to Tove.
When did MAFS Australia's Tyson meet his ex-wife?
Tyson met Tove in 2018 while his family was holidaying at a ski resort in Utah.

How long was MAFS Australia's Tyson married for?
Once they married, Tove moved to Australia and lived there for about a year. But after six years the pair split, because their relationship became "unhealthy and difficult".

What does MAFS Australia's Tyson ex-wife think of his controversial views?
Tove revealed in a recent interview that the man audiences are currently watching on television is far from the values she holds.
She said: “I do not support or agree with the behaviour he has shown on television or what I experienced in real life."

Ultimately, Tove said she can't comment whether Tyson's views have changed since they were together.
What has MAFS Australia's Tyson said about his past relationships?
Tyson has been very open telling wife, Stephanie, about his past relationships. In one conversation, he said: "I was in somewhat of a relationship and—beautiful girl—but unfortunately she told me her body count history, like how many guys she'd slept with and I think it was like 78 or something crazy."
He then made a jaw dropping comment, claiming he "had to escort her out of the house 'cause, I don't want to get HIV here."
