Married At First Sight groom Chris Nield has swiftly moved on from his turbulent television marriage by diving into the world of dating apps. The 31-year-old construction supervisor from Victoria has created profiles on both Raya, often dubbed the "Tinder for celebrities," and the popular platform Hinge, where he is actively seeking new romantic connections.
A New Chapter on Dating Platforms
On his Hinge profile, Chris humorously describes himself as a "carpenter" and includes a playful photo of himself wearing a tight singlet. He cheekily states, "Dating me is like being on TV," while also revealing that he has relocated to Queensland's Gold Coast. The reality star outlines that he is looking for a monogamous relationship and shares that his typical Sunday involves housework, watching television, and enjoying various indulgences.
Showcasing His Lifestyle and Interests
Chris has not hesitated to flaunt his impressive physique, posting a shirtless snapshot of himself cycling on a beach. Another flattering photo shows him modeling a black tuxedo, highlighting his confident and carefree attitude post-split. His Raya profile offers further insight into his personality, listing his loves as chocolates and dogs, and detailing interests such as travel, coffee, beachgoing, music, the arts, the outdoors, and running—many of which were not prominently featured during his time on MAFS.
Moving On from a Tumultuous Relationship
Chris has wasted no time looking back after his stormy pairing with MAFS "villain" Brook Crompton. Last month, he was spotted living his best single life, flirting energetically aboard Sydney's hottest floating party venue, SeaDeck. The former footy player appeared relaxed and confident as he soaked up the sunshine with friends against the glittering backdrop of Sydney's famous harbour.
During the outing, Chris was seen deep in conversation with My Kitchen Rules star Jacinta Radziejewski, suggesting he is fully embracing the single life following the collapse of his TV marriage. This sighting came after Daily Mail confirmed that Chris and Brook had ended their relationship, with Brook later rekindling things with her former partner.
The Backstory of the Split
After weeks of mounting speculation, it was revealed that Brook is the bride accused of secretly reconnecting with her ex while still part of the MAFS experiment, and she is now pregnant. In footage obtained, Brook is seen kissing her ex-boyfriend Harry as they decorate a Christmas tree together in October—just weeks after her on-screen marriage to Chris crumbled off-camera. The intimate video shows the couple unable to keep their hands off each other, sharing several kisses and cosy embraces inside an apartment as they put up Christmas decorations weeks before December had even arrived.
Multiple cast members told Daily Mail that Chris and Brook never stood a chance, underscoring the challenges of their brief and controversial relationship. As Chris navigates his new single status on dating apps, he appears focused on moving forward and exploring new opportunities in both his personal life and his burgeoning reality TV career.
