Body Language Expert Questions MAFS Couple’s Compatibility Despite Engagement

Jacqui Burfoot, 29, and Clint Rice, 44, a Married At First Sight Australia couple, have sparked both romance rumors and skepticism since announcing their relationship at the show’s reunion. Now engaged and living in Tasmania, the pair appear blissful in social media posts. However, celebrity body language expert Inbaal Honigman suggests their nonverbal cues hint at underlying tension.

Analyzing the Instagram Snaps
Jacqui recently shared a carousel of photos titled “6 months of post-mafs life,” showcasing hikes, travels, and cozy moments. Despite the smiles, Honigman noted awkwardness in their interactions. “It’s a struggle to find a single photo where they appear at ease,” she told Casino.org.

The expert critiqued their cover photo, highlighting Jacqui’s raised shoulder and clenched hands as indicators of a “wholly mismatched pairing.” Clint’s smiles were deemed “forced” in most shots, except one where he posed alone with a dog. “That’s the only genuine smile,” Honigman remarked.

Another image of the couple sitting side-by-side drew scrutiny. Honigman described barriers between them: “Four hands, crossed arms, lack of eye contact, and chair arms—all signs of incompatibility.”

Behind the MAFS Drama
Jacqui faced backlash during Season 12 for her “villain edit,” including being labeled “wacky” by castmates. Her father, Doog Burfoot, defended her, claiming producers manipulated footage to create a “crazy” narrative. He cited her infamous “no one’s on my level” comment as taken out of context from a work-related discussion.
