Elizabeth Sobinoff’s mother, Gillian, said she’d ‘kill’ Seb Guilhaus if he ever betrayed her daughter like Sam Ball did on last year’s season of Married At First Sight.
And while this threat would send most men running for the hills, Seb understands why his wife’s parents were so protective of her going into the experiment for a second time.
The 30-year-old personal trainer said on Talking Married that Elizabeth and her family had a ‘traumatic experience’ in 2019 so their attitudes weren’t surprising.

Sam had infamously fat shamed Elizabeth on her first wedding day by saying he ‘didn’t usually date girls her size’, before cheating on her with another bride later in the season.
‘Last year it was so traumatic, not only for Liz but for family as well,’ Seb said. ‘So stepping into the gladiatorial ring, I knew I had to just be honest and open, and they really did grill me.’
On Monday’s episode, Gillian questioned Seb about why he had been single for eight years, asked if he was ‘two-faced’, and demanded to know if he’d ever cheated.

Seb answered her questions calmly, and told Talking Married host Shelly Horton on Monday he was happy to do so.
‘What they saw their daughter go through last year would have been extremely difficult, so I understood their reservations,’ he said.
‘I hope I’ve made them feel at ease. I know who I am,’ he added.

Shelly also asked Seb what his thoughts were upon seeing his ‘wife’ for the first time.
Elizabeth jokingly said, ‘Run!’, but the former footy player said that wasn’t actually the case because he didn’t even recognise her from MAFS season six.
‘It wasn’t run! I didn’t see much of last year to be honest,’ he said.

Elizabeth was also asked if the experience of walking down the aisle was easier the second time around.
She replied: ‘I wouldn’t exactly say easier. The second time going in I wanted to let [the first marriage] go and I actually found it was hard to let that go and be present in the moment.’
