Intruders are starting to infiltrate the weird and wonderful community known as Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026, with Tyson Gordon, a former soldier who loves Donald Trump, despises wokeness, and has the American flag pinned to his garage wall, getting fans’ backs up.

After getting married in last night’s episode to fellow anti-woke bride Stephanie Marshall, the two did what two strangers all do when meeting for the first time and discuss the prospect of having five children, presumably in the four bedroom house that Tyson has already purchased.

“Apparently we’re having five children,” Stephanie said to her maid of honour after the wedding. “I don’t know who you’re having those five kids with,” she joked while turning to Tyson. Tyson went on explain that raising children was actually very easy. “How hard can it be?” he asked? “It’s only this big,” he said, gesturing at the size of a bread loaf. “You’ve just got to feed it, take it to the toilet and that’s it!”

Adding that he’d expect his wife’s life to take a backseat to his in the case that they had children, fans are obviously not too happy with Tyson’s whole deal. “I’d just like to know in what f**king universe does Tyson think he can live in a major Australian city with a wife and five kids on a single income?” asked one fan on Reddit.

“My gripe with these kinds of men who want to be a provider and have their wives stay home… is that they usually earn shit or very average salaries,” added another. “Like, you want your wife to stay home with your five kids? Cool, I hope you’re making at least six figures so her lost income doesn’t mean a downgraded or shitty lifestyle. The commenter added that the cheerleaders for stay-at-home mothers are usually “personal trainers, life coaches or some kind of bullshit entrepreneur.”

Others have called out Stephanie for also lamenting ‘wokeness’ and then being unhappy about being matched with someone who doesn’t seem to have the best attitudes towards women. “I always find it ironic that these MAGA women are shocked when men from their own sphere want them to stay home and pump out five kids and hate them for being career-driven,” one commenter says. “Like, huh? How can you be so deep in your beliefs you don’t see that you are what they hate?”

Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm this week on Channel 9 and 9Now.
