Former MAFS star Eliot Donovan, who appeared on the reality show last year, has revealed his connection to one of the grooms from this year’s season.
Eliot took to TikTok to share his thoughts on the new groom, Sam Stanton, who married Chris Robinson on the show this week.
“I actually know the new MAFS villain that’s coming on, this guy,” Eliot said, pointing to a photo of Sam, who has appeared to be nothing but a beautiful person so far, making it quite the shocking statement.
Thankfully, Eliot was pulling our leg.
“I’m just kidding, he’s not a villain,” Eliot said through laughter, adding that he and Sam first met in 2014, when they were both personal trainers on cruise ships.
He also shared a photo of himself and Sam taken at the time.
Eliot explained that he took over a ship that Sam had been working on.
“I’ll never forget, everyone on the ship was obsessed with this guy, they were like, ‘Oh my God, he’s so amazing.'”
The former MAFS groom added, “I remember, I messaged him, I was like, ‘Dude, what the f**K did you do to this cast, because they’re obsessed with you!’
“But we ended up meeting later on, and he is just a really genuine, sweet guy.
“We lost contact over the years, we don’t talk or anything, so I don’t know how his journey goes, I do really hope that he finds love on the show.”
Eliot also shared his excitement to watch someone genuine and positive on the show, because at the moment, he feels that it’s too “catty and toxic”.
Let’s be honest, that’s understandable!
Who is new MAFS groom Sam Stanton?
After spending time abroad in the US, Sam, a 34-year-old fitness studio owner, settled back down in Adelaide and is hoping to find an outdoorsy man to call his husband.
He joked on Instagram that “Adelaide’s man drought” made him join the reality show.
Sam has had two previous relationships, but both ended due to distance, with one moving away from the US, and another having to relocate for work.
Let’s hope things work out well with Sam and Chris!
