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 company Adelaide Ice Service is the city’s largest ice manufacturer. The company supplies food grade ice to retailers, hotels, and food manufacturers.

The MAFS villain is known to be close to his mother, Julie, who even visited him during the experiment.

In February, he 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 wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of himself and his mother.

‘I love you, mum. I really do.’

The controversial Married At First Sight star is no stranger to bragging about his luxurious lifestyle and bachelor pad.

Last week, the reality star and his new co-star girlfriend KC Osborne were spotted boarding a private jet to Sydney.

With fans quick to speculate that it was his own jet, on Sunday, Michael shot these reports down, saying: ‘No, it is not my private jet,’ and explained he prefers to invest his money. 

‘I’m a firm believer in buying assets that appreciate in value,’ he said.

‘The house that you all seen [on MAFS] is my house, I own that. Assets that go up in value, I own,’ he added. 

The reality star is company director of his family business, Adelaide Ice, which his father founded in 2002 after moving to Australia from Scotland.

‘When I was 24 I was actually able to afford a property over $1million. It has all paid off,’ he said on an earlier episode of MAFS.

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