MAFS Australia: Tyson’s Ex-Wife Speaks Out on Controversial Views
31 March 2026 — Tove Thoreson has spoken publicly for the first time in six years. She is Tyson Gordon’s ex-wife. Her comments arrive as Tyson appears on MAFS Australia.
Past relationship and background
The couple married when Tyson was in his early twenties. Thoreson is from Utah and was raised in the Mormon faith.
The pair maintained a long-distance relationship during Tyson’s military deployment. Their relationship ended after he returned to Australia.
Thoreson responds to on-screen behaviour
Thoreson says the man viewers are seeing on television does not reflect her values. She told reporters she does not endorse his behaviour on screen or what she experienced privately.
She also rejected the notion that Mormon women are inherently submissive. Thoreson said her faith community does not fit that stereotype.
Communication since the split
The former couple have had no contact in more than six years. Thoreson said she cannot confirm whether Tyson’s views have changed since they separated.
Tyson’s public statements on relationships
On the show, Tyson made several blunt remarks about potential partners. He listed dealbreakers to relationship expert John Aiken, including green hair, staunch feminism, and a hatred of men or Donald Trump.
He also criticised what he described as ‘woke’ viewpoints and expressed strong preferences for traditional roles. Tyson married fellow cast member Stephanie Marshall on the programme.
What this means for viewers
Fans and critics are debating the comments on social media. Thoreson’s decision to speak out has added a new perspective.
