MAFS Eliot Donovan : EXCLUSIVE: Joining Married At First Sight can be a truly life-changing journey — and no one understands that better than Eliot Donovan.
In a candid chat with 9Entertainment, the 35-year-old shared how the show has opened doors for him to finally chase his lifelong passion: a career in comedy.
Comedy has always been my dream and a really positive outlet throughout my life,” Eliot revealed.
Since appearing on the show, Eliot has built a TikTok community of over 283,000 followers, where he entertains fans with funny skits and personal updates.
While his main goal is to keep spreading laughter and build a career in comedy, Eliot also hopes to use his growing platform to promote awareness around animal rehoming.
Thanks to TikTok, I’ve gained a massive platform that helped us rehome two dogs from my local Animal Welfare League shelter. They had been there for two months without any luck — but within a week, both found loving homes.

That kind of experience feels like a dream come true for me.
Eliot has been deeply passionate about rescuing and rehoming dogs, especially since adopting his beloved companion, Olive, three years ago.
Olive entered Eliot’s life unexpectedly while he was working in Townsville.
She arrived with a litter of orphaned puppies, all around five weeks old. There were about six of them, and one by one, Eliot’s coworkers took them in.
Olive was the last pup left — she naturally gravitated toward Eliot, started following him around, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
Eliot even credits Olive with giving him the push he needed to finally settle down.

Eliot’s MAFS journey was far from ordinary. He started the experiment as a polarizing figure, marrying Lauren Hall first.
However, feeling no connection, he ended the marriage just two days into the honeymoon.
Making history, Eliot returned to the show and married a second partner, Veronica Cloherty. Although his mindset shifted during this second attempt, their relationship ultimately didn’t succeed.
Despite the ups and downs, Eliot has no regrets.
This entire experience has sparked some major life changes for me,” he shared.
And he’s embracing his expanding fanbase wholeheartedly.
The most common thing I hear from people is, ‘Hey, I didn’t like you at first, but now I really do!’
