MAFS groom Jonathan boasts of being an 'entrepreneur' leads fans to speculate he is actually unemployed... but he insists he legally cannot reveal details about his career
- Brisbane groom Jonathan married Cheryl during Monday night's premiere
- During the episode, he called himself an 'entrepreneur' a number of times
- He revealed little else prompting fans to speculate he was actually unemployed
- But he insists he was vague to protect identities of companies he works with
In case you missed it, Married At First Sight's Jonathan is an entrepreneur.
But despite him mentioning it a few times - enough for some fans to joke they were devising a drinking game around it - the groom revealed little else about his career.
Viewers were intrigued about exactly what kind of ventures Jonathan is involved in, with some speculating on Twitter that it was a sly cover for being unemployed.
But the Brisbane businessman has insisted he was deliberately vague to protect the identities of the companies he works with.
'Legally, part of me doing the show, is that I don't disclose any of my career specifics,' Jonathan told The FIX.

Proud: Some fans devised a drinking game based on how often Jonathan mentioned being an entrepreneur in Monday night's premiere of Married At First Sight
He explained that some of the companies he works with, including ones which are publicly-traded, may not want to be identified.
'They don't want to have anything associated with them, just in case it's negative.
'Hence the reason from the onset, I said [detail on my] commercial activities is a no-go.'
And his work was far from the only thing about Jonathan that sparked controversy on the show's dramatic premiere on Monday night.
During his wedding to bride Cheryl, one of the guest's declared her love for him - and now, it has emerged the woman in question is actually the twin sister of one of his ex-girlfriends.
Emma, who said 'I love you, I love you' during Jonathon's reception, has known him for years, The Fix reported. He described the emotional blonde as 'practically like a sister'.

'She is the sister of one of my exes,' Jonathan told The Fix.
'They're twins. They're not identical. I think you have to have dated a twin to understand. People say they look similar, but they don't look anything alike.'
Emma brought the drama during Jonathan's wedding to his 25-year-old bride Cheryl.
When asked if she believed the newlyweds had a lasting relationship, Emma responded with a blunt 'no'.

'I don't think she is the person for Jon, because the person for Jon is already out there,' she muttered, wiping a tear from her eye.
'He is amazing,' she gushed. 'He is the only one who has ever, truly been there for me.'
Cryptically, she added: 'He needs my family more than he knows'.
Her emotional display prompted Cheryl's sisters to jump to the bride's defence.
Emma said she attended the wedding with her entire family, minus who sister who actually dated Jonathan, because her family thought it would be 'hilarious for me,' according to The Fix.

In an attempt to explain Emma's behaviour at the wedding, Jonathan said she was 'always like that' and extremely 'family oriented.'
'She tends to get heated and emotional about things if people are hurting — or someone's going to potentially hurt someone that's important to her,' he told The Fix.
'She just laughed and was like, 'Did I make an idiot of myself?' And I was like, 'Yeah.' She's actually a lovely girl. She's laughing about it now.'
Married At First Sight will continue on Tuesday night at 7.30pm on Channel Nine.
