Married At First Sight 2025 is just around the corner, and one groom is already setting social media alight.
Meet Eliot Donovan, the man who describes himself as a ‘catch’ and has a checklist of romantic dealbreakers longer than most shopping lists.
In an exclusive bombshell teaser released ahead of the new season, Eliot didn’t hold back as he described his long list of ‘non-negotiables’ when it comes to love.
From banning ‘overly loud’ women to declaring career-driven brides a ‘dealbreaker,’ Eliot has left fans questioning whether anyone could possibly live up to his lofty standards.
‘Friends would definitely describe me as too confident for my own good,’ Eliot said in the clip.
‘I wouldn’t even entertain a relationship with someone I saw as low class. And if I feel nothing on my wedding day, I won’t even finish the ceremony. It’d be like, mic off, see ya.’

Eliot’s unapologetic attitude has already earned him comparisons to some of the show’s most divisive characters from past seasons.
Fans have flocked to social media, with one viewer commenting, ‘I already love him for the drama, but good luck to his poor bride.’
‘Watch him get matched with someone exactly like that,’ a second chimed.
Another wasn’t so forgiving, writing, ‘Does this guy think he’s Prince Harry? Pipe down, mate.’
Eliot hails from the Gold Coast and is known for his love of dogs, frequently sharing photos of his pets on social media.
As revealed by Daily Mail Australia, Eliot’s journey on MAFS 2025 has been nothing short of tumultuous.
He was initially paired with Lauren Hall, a Queensland-based CEO and ex-girlfriend of former MAFS groom Jono McCullough.
However, reports indicate that Eliot left the experiment just hours after the wedding, citing a lack of connection with Lauren.

His abrupt departure reportedly shocked both the cast and crew, with insiders describing his behaviour as disrespectful.
In a surprising twist, Eliot later returns to the show, only to find that Lauren had been matched with another participant.
An insider revealed, ‘He’s back to clear his name but isn’t apologetic about his behaviour.
‘Him and Lauren were a complete mismatch, and [he] hasn’t changed his mind about wanting out of their romance.’
Married At First Sight will premiere Monday, January 27 on Channel Nine
