MAFS: Michael Goonan reveals he hasn’t spoken to his father ‘in ages’

Married At First Sight’s Michael Goonan has set the record straight on claims he was simply ‘gifted’ his wealthy parents’ ice distribution company in Adelaide.

In an Instagram Q&A Monday, the 29-year-old company director said: ‘Everyone thinks I was gifted mummy and daddy’s business.

‘No, not like that at all. I haven’t actually spoke to my father in ages. Work it out.’

Michael’s father, Michael Goonan Sr., founded Adelaide Ice in the early 2000s and it went on to become South Australia’s largest ice manufacturing business.

The MAFS ‘villain’ is now the managing director of the company, which has offices in Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory.

It’s unclear what Michael meant when he said he hasn’t spoken to his father ‘in ages’,

He may have been implying that his father is no longer involved in running the business. Alternatively, he may have been hinting at their strained relationship.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Michael Goonan Jr., for comment. 

Michael is known to be close to his mother, Julie, who visited him during Channel Nine’s social experiment.

During an episode that aired in February, Michael praised Julie while also admitting to his shortcomings as a son.

‘I’ve never been the easiest boy to raise but you have always been my rock,’ he said. ‘I love you, mum. I really do.’

The controversial reality star is no stranger to bragging about his luxurious lifestyle.

‘When I was 24 I was actually able to afford a property over $1million. It has all paid off,’ he said on Married At First Sight.

‘I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a taste for a couple of watches and shiny toys.’
