Married At First Sight 2025 is just around the corner and one groom is already setting social media on fire.
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 when describing his long list of “non-negotiables” when it comes to love.
From banning “overly loud” women to declaring career-driven brides a “deal breaker,” Eliot has made fans question whether anyone could ever 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 want to be in a relationship with someone I consider low-quality. And if I don’t feel anything on my wedding day, I won’t even finish the ceremony. It would be like: microphone off, goodbye.’
