Brand new Married At First Sight (MAFS) couple Stephanie Marshall and Tyson Gordon may have gotten off to a rocky start, but the experts clearly matched them for a reason: not least because they’re both huge fans of President of the United States, Donald Trump.

In fact, Tyson is such a fan of President Trump that he considers one of his red flags is “a woman that hates Donald Trump,” saying during a zoom call with John Aiken, “I personally love Donald Trump, I think he’s doing a great job.”

Stephanie explains Donald Trump’s appeal

In her opening package, Stephanie also gives us her two cents about the US leader, who turns 80 this year. “As much as people hate him, it’s taken someone like Trump to come in and be like, ‘we’re putting a stop to this s**t!'” It’s unclear what Stephanie is suggesting that Trump has put a stop to, though she seems to have a general dislike for people saying things like, “I’m a feminist” and “I’m a vegan”, declaring that we all have to “reel it in.”

In an interview with Chattr, Stephanie describes Donald Trump as a “bold character that stands up for his beliefs,” adding “in some ways, I too, respect that.” She adds that she and Tyson do share similar views in the sense that she admires how Trump’s “gotten in there and he’s making things happen” and that “as the leader of that country, people want to see that he’s making or taking action…good for him.”

At times, however, Stephanie was vague, stating, “but you know, that doesn’t mean that it’s the right thing to do,” while not referencing any action in particular, and concluding, “I don’t live [in the United States] so I don’t really have that much of a strong opinion.”

Stephanie says Tyson is a ‘Ride or Die’ for Trump

Stephanie’s support for Trump appears to be a bit less unwavering than Tyson’s, with the real estate agent stating that she “doesn’t agree with everything that Trump does”. She also stresses that she doesn’t live in the United States, so she’s not super invested in his leadership.

Stephanie says, however, that when it comes to Tyson, he’s very much a “Ride or Die” for the US President. That being said, it is often hard to know where Stephanie stands: in one episode, she memorably said: “[Tyson and I] absolutely have very similar opinions, but I’m a lot smarter with how I word things.” Make of that what you will.

Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 airs Sunday – Wednesday on Channel 9 and 9Now.
