MAFS star turns to property after Seebohm split

Reality TV star Ryan Gallagher has bought a Brisbane unit just months after splitting with Olympic champion, Emily Seebohm.

Married At First Sight star Ryan Gallagher has moved on from his split with Olympic swimmer fiancée Emily Seebohm and purchased an investment property in a prime Brisbane suburb.

The former MAFS, I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, and The Challenge Australia contestant has paid $500,000 for a two-bedroom unit in one of Clayfield’s most exclusive streets.

Luckily, Ryan is also a builder by trade, which will come in handy when it comes to renovating the property, which he admits needs a lot of work.

“I’ll do the whole lot myself,” he said.

It’s currently generating an income, with the same tenant having lived in the unit for the past 15 years.

“I’ve already had it valued at $180,000 more than what I bought it for,” he said.

The median unit price in Clayfield is $710,000, having grown almost 20 per cent in the past 12 months, according to PropTrack.

The 36-year-old is currently renting in Ascot and has been keeping a close eye on the South East Queensland property market — seeing the potential in the lead up to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

In between hosting and comedy gigs, Ryan has been preparing to star in another reality television series, but he was tight-lipped about the details on Sunday — “I can’t say”.

He made an appearance to support friends, Mike Goldman and Bianca Zouppas, who were launching their new production studio in the Brisbane suburb of Coorparoo.

Ryan said it had been seven months since his split with Emily Seebohm, with whom he shares a two-year-old son, Sampson.

The pair, who became engaged in December 2022, met while filming The Challenge Australia.

Ryan proposed to Emily at a dam on his parent’s farm just outside of Goulburn in NSW, where he grew up.

Records show Emily still owns a four-bedroom house in Hendra, which she paid $1.375m for eight years ago.
