Married At First Sight’s Seb Guilhaus has defended his ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Sobinoff from online trolls in the wake of their shock split this week. 

Despite no longer being romantically involved with the 29-year-old, Seb valiantly posted to Instagram Stories on Wednesday urging fans to treat his ex with respect. 

‘Hey, I just want to thank everyone for all the supportive messages over the last few days. It really does make a difference,’ he wrote.

‘Please be kind to Liz and myself over the next little while for the sake of our mental health,’ he continued, adding a love-heart emoji.

Both Seb and Elizabeth have claimed that their split was amicable and mutual, but have refused to reveal exactly why they called it quits.  

On Monday, the couple broke the news that they’d split after one year of dating, by uploading identical essays to Instagram.

After the show ended in April, they announced plans to move to Sydney’s beachside suburb of Dee Why together. 

Seb was based in South Australia at the time, while Elizabeth was in Sydney for work.

Their plans fell through due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, and they were forced to continue their relationship long-distance.
