Married At First Sight star Jessika Power's 'hot brother' Rhyce has quietly separated from his wife Taylor after 18 months. Daily Mail Australia can reveal that Rhyce is preparing to leave Australia behind and relocate to Thailand.
Friends close to the couple claim the split has been 'difficult' and say Rhyce is eager to escape the spotlight and begin a new chapter abroad. 'He just wants a reset,' one source alleged. 'Thailand feels like an opportunity for him to start over away from all the noise in Australia.'
Rhyce married Taylor in a romantic beachside ceremony on the Gold Coast in October 2024, surrounded by family and friends. This included his famous sister Jessika, who turned heads in a daring neon green gown at the celebrations.
The pair tied the knot at the Bilinga Surf Club and Taylor stunned in a sleeveless white wedding gown with a sparkling bodice featuring embroidered details. Rhyce, meanwhile, was dapper in a classic black tuxedo but added a dark dress shirt and tie for an edgy twist.
At the time, the wedding appeared picture-perfect, with the family sharing glamorous snaps from the coastal event across social media. But insiders now suggest cracks had begun to emerge behind closed doors not long after the honeymoon phase ended.
The tattooed TV personality first found fame during Jessika's explosive run on MAFS in 2019, quickly earning attention from viewers who dubbed him the franchise's 'hot brother'. Since then, Rhyce has maintained a modest online following and occasionally stepped into the influencer world alongside his sister, who remains one of the most controversial brides in MAFS history.
Now, sources claim he is planning a more permanent move overseas, with Thailand emerging as his preferred destination thanks to its lifestyle, affordability and distance from the Australian media spotlight. 'He's seriously considering making the move long-term,' the insider claimed. 'He feels like there's nothing keeping him here anymore.'
Neither Rhyce nor Jessika has publicly commented on the reported split. Taylor, a Queensland-based false eyelash technician, went 'Instagram official' with Rhyce back in May 2021, before announcing their engagement just two months later.
Responding to the news at the time, Rhyce's sister, Jessika, told Daily Mail Australia that she's overjoyed to welcome Taylor into the Power brood. 'I'm very happy for my brother and Taylor - I've known his intentions for some time and I'm so overjoyed to see her say yes,' the reality star enthused. 'I'm very pleased to welcome Taylor into the family and I hope they both have a happy and healthy future together.'
Rhyce's big day came less than two years after he was spectacularly dumped on Instagram by his ex-girlfriend Cheyenne O'Leary. At the time, Cheyenne accused the reality star of 'cheating' on her by having a threesome with two other women on her birthday.
In Cheyenne's Instagram post, she said: 'I feel like I am always the polite, quiet one, and never let anything spill, but I'm sorry, I'm not going to be quiet anymore. You were all right, everything you think about that person is exactly who he is. Absolute scumbag. You have an hour to get all your s*** out of my house.'
When approached for comment at the time, a remorseful Rhyce told Daily Mail Australia he had 'messed up' and 'will have to live with [his] actions' – but did not confirm or deny the alleged threesome had occurred. In a brief statement addressing the break-up, Rhyce said: 'I think I'll stay single for a while and not rush into relationships. The whole world of Instagram makes it so much harder, you think you've fallen in love from someone's photos and talking online for months, and then [you] start a relationship and realise it's not at all how you thought it would be. Chey's a beautiful, amazing girl and an absolutely wonderful mother. I messed up and went about it the wrong way but it is what it is and I have to live with my actions.'
Rhyce became an overnight celebrity when he was a guest at his sister Jessika's wedding to Mick Gould on Married At First Sight back in 2019.
