MAFS’s Elizabeth Sobinoff admits the distance has been hard on her relationship with Seb Guilhaus

They’ve been in lockdown in separate states, and Elizabeth Sobinoff and Seb Guilhaus have admitted the distance has taken a toll on their relationship.

In an interview with 9Now on Wednesday, the former Married At First Sight stars confessed that being apart has been ‘really, really tough’.

‘We were living together from the get-go, and then we were living together for a week-and-a-half, then away from each other for a week-and-a-half, but now nothing,’ Lizzie, 29, explained, adding, ‘It’s been really, really tough.’

Lizzie described herself and Seb, 31, who she was paired with on this year’s season of MAFS, as being very ‘physical’.

She said their lack of a physical relationship at the moment is ‘not easy’, but Seb insisted the distance has made them better at communicating.

‘[Prior to this], we had no phone game at all,’ he explained.

‘So our FaceTimes and our conversations over the phone have been our bread and butter. That’s been good. 

‘We’ve gotten closer, we’ve strengthened our bond, but we do still reach out for physical touch.’

Both Lizzie and Seb have vented about missing each other on their respective Instagram pages, revealing they haven’t been together since late March. 

Seb is currently based in Adelaide, while Lizzie lives in Newcastle on the New South Wales Central Coast, with state border closures keeping them apart during the coronavirus pandemic. 

Speaking to 9Now, Seb said he’s planning on moving to Sydney on June 20, where he’ll initially live with a friend, before he and Lizzie find a place together.

‘The first time we get in a full-on relationship, the world ends!’ Lizzie joked, after the pair first made plans to move in together before the coronavirus pandemic hit.
