Jacqui Burfoot
Confusion surrounded much of the claims and inferences as to where controversial contestant Jacqui Burfoot lived, lives and will live.
Her supposed home was in Manly on Sydney’s sought-after Northern Beaches but that was revealed to be a ‘fake house’ during the home stays when it was revealed the pad was just an Airbnb being rented for $200 a night.
“Her actual place was a rental apartment with two other housemates,” her MAFS husband Ryan Donnelly confirmed, kind of.

“They couldn’t fit the camera crew in there, her bedroom was tiny, the housemates’ stuff was everywhere and production would’ve had to ask them to leave and stay elsewhere for the filming.”
Jacqui herself said it was a matter of security.
“As a single lady, security and privacy is important to me and my friends. I didn’t feel comfortable opening my home up to all of Australia,” she wrote on her Instagram Story.
“Just so you know the ‘apartments’ the couples live in are actually also decorated hotel rooms. Homestays is about getting to know someone in their usual neighbourhood doing usual activities. If you care about the actual homes you should watch a show like The Block, not MAFS lol.”

Burfoot said the place she was renting with friends was worth $2.7m and she had bought elsewhere as a rentvestor. That is she got a foot on the property ladder buying somewhere she could and rented that out while she lived and rented herself where the lifestyle was more to her liking.
It’s now been revealed, she is living in a luxury mansion in Tasmania with fiance Clint Rice, a fellow contestant on the 2025 series of MAFS.
Located on a corner block, the property features tennis court, golf simulator, theatre, gym, bar and entertaining area, paved driveway, stone bench tops, and double vanities.

The businessman’s indoor golf simulator is complete with a large screen and rivals that of multi-level modern apartments.
According to marketing material, the Samsung fingerprint-activated door locks add security to an address that is “well ahead of its time”.
