Comedian-actor Matt Rife is back with another Netflix special titled Matt Rife: Unwrapped – A Christmas Crowd Work Special. However, viewers are unhappy with him and the streaming platform, as it reportedly auto-plays the preview of the special as soon as one opens the app.Parents have claimed that the preview has Rife claiming that Santa isn’t real and ruining Christmas for their children and dampening the holiday spirits in their families.“That changes everything when you find out your parents are Santa Claus,” Matt declares in the special.Amid the controversy, it is important to note that Matt Rife doesn’t have any children. However, he is currently dating certified personal fitness trainer, influencer, bodybuilder, and nutrition coach Mariah Morse. His past girlfriends include Jessica Lord, Lucy Hale, and Kate Beckinsale.However, Rife has often expressed his wish to be a husband and a father during his comedy specials and interviews. For instance, in April 2023, he told Esquire:“I know I am just in my mid-to-late 20s, but still, I do want a wife and a family and a prominent home life that makes me feel comfortable, safe, and is my peace. But when I'm touring six days a week, 52 weeks out of the year, it's incredibly hard to maintain a relationship.”Matt Rife continued:“I do meet women who are fantastic human beings that I'm like, ‘Wow, you're such a lovely person. You're beautiful. You're sweet, you're kind, you'd be an excellent mother and excellent wife, excellent girlfriend, you check all these boxes, but I might not be in a position right now to fulfil your needs as a responsible boyfriend.’ So, I wonder if I am missing out on wonderful people, you know?”Exploring Matt Rife’s personal lifeMatt Rife and Mariah Morse were first linked in March when they were spotted holding hands and entering a club in Rhode Island.
