MAFS Groom's Shocking Past: From Riches to Stealing Food
10 Mar
Summary
- Married At First Sight groom Tyson Gordon revealed a past of poverty.
- He admitted to stealing food to survive after his parents' divorce.
- Gordon confessed this occurred when he was 17 and working a dead-end job.

Tyson Gordon, a participant on Married At First Sight, has revealed a starkly different side of his life in a recent podcast appearance. Gordon admitted to experiencing extreme financial hardship in his youth, including having to steal groceries to survive.
He explained that after his parents' divorce, his father lost much of his fortune, leading Gordon and his sister to live in difficult circumstances. At 17, while working a 'dead-end' security job and expelled from school, Gordon confessed to stealing food from Woolworths because he could not afford to live.
This personal revelation follows Gordon's dramatic exit from the MAFS series. He quit the show during a commitment ceremony after his on-screen wife, Stephanie Marshall, raised concerns about his comments regarding gay couples and their impact.
