Married At First Sight bride Rhi Disljenkovic has hit back at hurtful pregnancy rumours after fans began questioning her appearance in recent photos.

The 35-year-old fitness blogger says she was left feeling ‘disappointed’ and ‘self-conscious’ after seeing online chatter suggesting she might be expecting.

‘Honestly, it’s disappointing,’ Rhi told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday.

‘I put on a bit of weight during and after the experiment and I was already feeling self-conscious about it. So when people start speculating or comment like that, it doesn’t just roll off your back… it actually hurts.’

The brunette, known for her bubbly personality, said it’s frustrating that women are constantly expected to justify any physical changes.

The 35-year-old fitness blogger says she was left feeling ‘disappointed’ and ‘self-conscious’ after seeing online chatter suggesting she might be expecting

‘There’s this weird expectation that women have to explain any changes to their body – and the second we’re not shredded or photographed well, people jump to conclusions like pregnancy,’ she said.

‘You never know what someone’s going through, and even if someone was pregnant, it’s such a personal thing.’

‘It’s not gossip – it’s hurtful, and it can affect someone’s mental health,’ she said. ‘We’ve got to do better.’

It comes just days after her co-star Jamie Marinos was forced to shut down similar rumours.

Jamie, 29, was photographed at a recent event in Melbourne wearing a form-fitting outfit, which prompted online speculation about a supposed baby bump.

She later took to Instagram to address the rumours, stating firmly that she was not pregnant and reminding fans that certain angles and lighting can be misleading.

Marinos sparked baby rumours over the weekend after appearing in a gallery of snaps from Voir Vodka dinner at Bar Bambi in Melbourne, which she attended alongside her co-stars Eliot Donovan and Teejay Halkias.

The images, shared by @mafsgossip, included a shot of Jamie posing with Eliot – who she has been romantically linked to in recent months – wearing a sleek all-black outfit which seemed to hint at a small bump.

‘Is it me or does Jaime look like she’s got a bump?’ one fan commented, while another added, ‘Just don’t know if it’s a baby bump or photoshopped to look like it. But 100% it’s a bump!’

But Jamie wasted no time shutting down the speculation, jumping into the comments to address the chatter directly.

‘I’m going to blame the lighting on that, because it does and I can assure you there’s no bump,’ she wrote, adding a laughing emoji.

In another cheeky comment, the blonde beauty joked, ‘Why am I excited now for a non-existent baby?’ before confirming the ‘countless’ vodkas she consumed that night were proof enough she wasn’t expecting.

The MAFS star later doubled down, taking to her Instagram Stories to share the same photo and write: ‘What in the optical illusion is this? I look like I have a baby bump.’

She added: ‘How funny would it be if at an event for an alcohol brand I announce a pregnancy, except it wouldn’t be funny because I’d be pissed the f**k off that I’m sober.’

Since the show wrapped in April, Jamie and Eliot have emerged as two of the most-followed cast members, regularly sparking dating rumours with their flirty comments, TikTok videos and joint appearances at events.

Despite their undeniable chemistry, Jamie previously clarified their relationship during a Q&A with fans, insisting: ‘We are really good friends.

‘He’s been such a great support system, always makes me laugh and I’m super grateful to have him around.’

She added: ‘We are both single, and focusing on ourselves at the moment – but who knows what the future holds.’

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Jamie and Eliot echoed that sentiment, saying they’ve struck up an ‘unlikely friendship’ post-show and are simply ‘taking each day as it comes’.

The pair first sparked romance rumours after attending Daily Mail Australia’s reunion party in April.

‘Jamie is an absolute babe and I would be very lucky to be in a romantic relationship with her… but at this point in time, we are just close friends,’ he told 9Entertainment.

‘I’m not in any kind of position to be navigating a romantic relationship but I wouldn’t rule anything out. I am absolutely loving going on this journey with Jamie by my side.’

Eliot spoke highly of his relationship with Jamie and said their friendship had grown since meeting during filming last year.
