He is the “most hated groom” in the history of Married At First Sight Australia. From his statements about wanting a “submissive” woman, his disrespectful attitude toward the female experts, to the ending where he walked away mid-show, Tyson Gordon became the center of all controversy. But behind the small screen lies a completely different person, with secrets about family, past, and even a career so surprising that producers probably had to “pray” viewers wouldn’t dig too deep.

Let’s uncover all the secrets about the groom who quit mid-way.

1. Background, Family and The Strange Absence of Women

Born in 1995 or 1996, Tyson Gordon comes from Victoria and claims to be a “financial expert” and “real estate investor”. However, what caught viewers’ attention most was not his job, but the somber scene at his wedding.

While bride Stephanie Marshall had two gay men and four women on her side, on the groom’s side, there was hardly a woman in sight. This prompted Stephanie herself to speak up: “I asked, ‘Where’s your mom?’… He said she’s a bit self-conscious about her weight and he’s encouraging her to go to the gym.”

His military past made Tyson rigid, and apparently, his relationship with the women in his family was also problematic. Tyson’s biological mother did not appear at her son’s wedding, and it was only when the show aired that viewers learned part of the reason.

2. Secret Career & “Hidden YouTube Channel”: Not the Investor He Claimed

On the expert couch and in interviews, Tyson proudly introduced himself as a successful “investor”. However, the reality of his work was not so glamorous. His main job is believed to involve retail management or even security guard work before joining the show.

Like Steven, Tyson also had an “artistic” past. He was a drummer and involved in several music projects in his youth. A “hidden YouTube channel” was discovered showing his passion for electronic music and his rather “quirky” aesthetic sense.

This partly explains why he was ridiculed by fellow contestant Gia Fleur and eliminated from the show. It seems the “business owner” Tyson boasted about was only part of the story.

3. Height, Assets and The “Game” on TV

Height: No exact figures, but Tyson stands out at around 1.85m and possesses a muscular physique thanks to intense training.

Assets: Unclear. While he claimed to be an “investor” and dreamed of a wealthy life, his co-stars suspected it was just a facade for fame.

4. Journey From Conflict To Quitting

Tyson was paired with bride Stephanie Marshall, a strong and straightforward woman. Differences in life views created conflicts from the honeymoon week.

The climax came at the commitment ceremony, where Tyson got angry and walked off, believing he was being “blamed”. Before leaving, he made insensitive comments about the LGBTQ+ community and was harshly criticized by the experts (especially Mel Schilling).

One of the most shocking moments was when he told expert Alessandra Rampolla: “I don’t care about your feelings.” He was also criticized for constantly interrupting the female matchmakers, yet obediently listened to John Aiken.

After leaving the show, Tyson showed no regret. He insisted he had been “set up” and the show edited footage to make him the villain.

5. The “Don’t Want Anyone To Know” Secret: The “Taboo” Ex

What Tyson hid most was probably about his ex-girlfriend and the real reason he had been single for so long. In a rare backstage interview (cut from the main broadcast), Tyson once confessed to having a serious “trust issue” due to being betrayed in the past. However, he never revealed her identity and didn’t want anyone digging into that period of his life.

6. Life After MAFS: Quiet Or Still Shocking?

Tyson has not appeared much in the media since the show ended. Despite his handsome looks and having once declared a desire for fame, he seems to be trying to live a reclusive life to avoid malicious online comments. He continues running his own business and regularly posts gym photos, but no longer mentions his MAFS co-stars.

Tyson Gordon left MAFS with the “villain” title he will likely carry for a long time. While his statements and actions were reprehensible, the story of a man raised in a military environment, with trust issues and wounded by the women around him, gives many pause.

Tyson was wrong to disrespect the experts and hold outdated views. But does he deserve to be “stoned” so harshly? Perhaps each viewer has their own answer. And perhaps that is why the producers “pray” you don’t search for this information – because the truth sometimes blurs the line between “hero” and “villain” in the entertainment industry.
