MAFS bride Alissa has been newly dubbed “Australia’s Sweetheart” after sticking up for fellow bride Stella during Brook’s tirade at the second dinner party.

And it seems there may be a new person added to her hit list.

Intruder groom Tyson, 30, is an ex-army man who is unafraid to stand by his beliefs despite how polarising his takes may be.

With an opinion on everything from gay marriage to a women with “green hair”, Alissa told WHO that she was nothing short of “gobsmacked” by what she witnessed him say.

Describing Tyson’s bride Stephanie as a “strong woman” with “queen energy,” the nurse told WHO that she is exactly what he needs… despite what he may think!

What did Alissa say about Tyson after attending his wedding?

Alissa said that it “takes a strong woman to marry Tyson” thanks to his “strong character” and “particular values.” You can say that again!

The MAFS bride, who is shown to be happily in a relationship with groom David on the current season of the show, said Tyson’s cruel remarks at Stephanie were often “hard to swallow.”

Alissa added: “That was a lot, but sitting there and watching her handle herself showed how much of a queen she is. She’s a strong woman and she does not take it.”

“I feel like that’s what Tyson also needs, he needs a strong woman to ground him, even though he doesn’t think he does,” she explained.

Who is Tyson?

Tyson is a 30-year-old property investor from the Gold Coast, but buying, flipping and selling properties hasn’t always been his occupation.

This intruder groom served six years in the army as a soldier, including a tour in Afghanistan.

For Tyson, discipline and structure is a major part of his life, and is an attitude he’s also looking for in a partner.

However, he definitely doesn’t want his partner to be in the army.

When Tyson was 23-years-old, he married a Mormon woman from Utah.

During his deployment, they maintained a six-year-long relationship until he moved to Australia and the marriage ended.

Tyson is a self-proclaimed provider and protector who likes to take charge in his relationships.

As a devout Christian, he hopes his future partner is open to his faith.

However, whether while they may be open to his faith, they might not be as open to his opinions.

Who is Stephanie?

Stephanie is a 32-year-old real estate agent who has always prioritised her independence.

She knows her worth and she’s not afraid to keep her expectations high.

With a personal and professional life that thrives on routine, she is always seeking self-improvement and isn’t afraid to take lift her career to new heights.

While she has mastered the art of bettering herself and creating the life she envisions, she’s fallen short in the arena of love.

This 32-year-old intruder bride has always been open about her lack of serious adult relationships.

Rather than being attracted to Stephanie’s ambition, more often than not, men have found her independence intimidating.

This bride is looking for someone to not only match her drive, but also her care for her appearance, her desire for success, and her conservative values. She’s here to build something meaningful and isn’t afraid to put in the work.
