The TV star appeared on the reality programme in Australia in 2015 before he featured on Farmer Wants a Wife the following year. His family confirmed his death on social media this week, according to <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-15087179\/MAFS-star-Lachlan-Rofe-dies.html?ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490&amp;ito=social-twitter_dailymailceleb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MailOnline<\/a>, but his cause of death has not been announced. Lachlan was paired with Clare Tamas during the first-ever season of Married at First Sight in Australia, before he experienced high-profile romances with Farmer Wants A Wife contestant Belinda Reid. Despite looking like a happy couple, it was revealed that less than 24 hours after the finale aired, the pair had gone their separate ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">In 2017, Lachlan was found guilty of assaulting his then-girlfriend, Casey Williams. At the time, he was put on a 12-month good behaviour bond, and he appealed the conviction. A magistrate later overturned the guilty verdict.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lachlan told Channel 7 news at the time: &#8220;I&#8217;m too scared to even go see women &#8216;cos I just feel with everything that&#8217;s happened, I just feel like I&#8217;m a target.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Married at First Sight, Lachlan garnered a large female following during his time on the show. He parted ways with his MAFS wife Clare 12 months after filming wrapped up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said in an interview at the time: &#8220;While ever it was good, while there was good times there was also some times that weren&#8217;t good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;I&#8217;m still in contact with Clare, we&#8217;re still friends, we caught up a couple of weeks ago. I think it is hard when you do form a bond with someone as well to maintain a very close friendship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lachlan lived on a property in Cawdor, near Camden in New South Wales.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Married at First Sight&#8216;s Lachlan Rofe has died aged 47.
