MAFS Australia's Tyson's Ex-Wife Breaks Her Silence
Married At First Sight Australia's intruder groom Tyson Gordon has sparked significant discussion with his openly traditional views and criticism of 'woke' perspectives. Now, his ex-wife Tove Thoreson has broken her silence for the first time in six years since their relationship ended, offering her perspective on his controversial statements.
The Background of Their Relationship
Tyson Gordon married Tove Thoreson, a Mormon woman from Utah, during his early twenties while serving as a soldier. The couple maintained a long-distance relationship during his military deployment, but their marriage ended once he returned to Australia. While viewers currently watch his televised marriage with Stephanie Marshall unfold on MAFS Australia, Tove has chosen this moment to share her stance on his public comments.
Tove's Public Statement
In a recent interview, Tove Thoreson made it clear that the version of Tyson Gordon appearing on television does not align with her personal values. She stated emphatically: "I do not support or agree with the behaviour he has shown on television or what I experienced in real life." While acknowledging that their marriage might have appeared traditional to outside observers, Tove rejected Tyson's portrayal of their relationship on the show, emphasizing that it doesn't reflect her own beliefs.
As a practicing Mormon, Tove also addressed the misconception that women in her community are submissive. She explained: "A lot of people may assume because I am Mormon that Mormon women are like that, but that's not the case." This statement directly counters Tyson's expressed desire for a 'submissive' wife that has generated controversy among viewers.
Six Years of Silence
Tove revealed that she and Tyson haven't spoken in over six years since their relationship ended. Having had no contact for such an extended period, she admitted she cannot comment on whether his views have evolved since their time together. However, Tyson's current television persona displays a strong aversion to what he terms 'woke' views, particularly evident during his conversation with relationship expert John Aiken.
During that discussion, Tyson listed several dealbreakers including: "A woman with green hair. That's the first red flag. A woman that's a complete feminist. Hates men. A woman that hates Donald Trump." He further elaborated: "A lot of these woke people I've met aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, John."
The Broader Context
Tove's decision to speak out comes as Tyson continues to generate headlines with his unconventional approach on Married At First Sight Australia. Her comments provide a personal counterpoint to his public persona, offering viewers additional context about the man behind the controversial statements. While their marriage ended years ago, Tove's perspective sheds new light on the values and beliefs that have become central to Tyson's television narrative.
The timing of her interview coincides with intense public interest in Tyson's journey on the reality show, making her insights particularly relevant to current discussions about traditional values, gender roles, and political perspectives in modern relationships.
