Soon, 32-year-old Sasan Momeni will be known as "GVFÖ-Sasan" by all viewers. But so far, no one recognises the Uppsala native when he goes to his job as a "solution specialist" at an IT company. He is not worried about the reactions, however - people will always have opinions, and Sasan Momeni feels confident about his contribution to the reality series.
I regret absolutely nothing. And I won't deny that it feels good to get attention.
"Solution specialist" sounds like a solution-oriented job - is that something you bring into your relationships?
I usually say that you have to compromise a lot in relationships, so I try to keep that in mind. Then it's also important that the match is right so that you can "shake things up" and have a common view on the most important things.
“Bromance” in the house
He is not allowed to comment on whether the three new experts were successful in matching before the series airs, but whether there was any "bromance" during filming is not classified.
It became a bromance, absolutely, you're absolutely right there, says Sasan Momeni, laughing.
The 15th season of GVFÖ has added “XL” to the show title: there will be more couples, more episodes and for the first time all the contestants live under the same roof. A change inspired by the Australian version of the reality series and something that Sasan Momeni appreciates.
Why not do it in a group? I'm energetic and social, so when I heard about the combination of getting married and living in the same house, it sounded exciting.
Was contacted
You don't see any point in inviting your wife into your everyday life?
Yes, but you don't know who you're marrying and it might feel more comfortable not to expose your home as the first thing you do.
When asked what his thoughts were when he applied, Sasan Momeni replies that he actually didn't apply to "GVFÖ XL" - it was the production that contacted him via social media.
And since I was at a stage where I really wanted to meet someone, it was a great fit.
In the final episode of the last season, all couples, except one who called it quits early, chose to stay married. But when the follow-up episode aired a year after the match, all had broken up.
“Married at First Sight XL” premieres on August 23.
