Married at First Sight Couples: Still Married: Where They Are Now (2024)

Cortney and Jason (Season 1)

It was instant sparks for this couple from when they tied the knot to when they decided to stay married at the end of their season. After filming, the couple even appeared in the spin-off show,Married at First Sight: The First Year. After that, they continued to let fans into their lives with their web series,Carrying-On with the Carrions. However, after several years together, theyannounced their splitin March 2019.

“In February 2019, Jason and I filed for divorce after the court of Kings County New York acknowledged at least a six-month separation,” Cortneywrote on Instagram. “We asked for privacy this entire time because we are trying to figure it all out. At one point, we thought we were going to divorce in order to date and start all over the right way. … We have decided together to move on in different paths, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have love for each other. He will always have a special place in my heart and life. We do love you all and appreciate the support that you have shown us from the beginning.”

She is now happily married to a new man named Sherm. They tied the knot in a Peaky Blinders-themed ceremony in October 2020 and welcomed a son the following year. As for her ex, he exchanged his vows with now-wife, Roxanne Palett, in January 2020.

Jamie and Doug (Season 1)

DuringMarried at First Sightseason 1, Jamie infamously cried the day she married Doug, confessing to the cameras that she wasn’t attracted to him at all. However, during the honeymoon, Jamie slowly found herself falling for Doug and they remained married at the end of the season.

Today, the couple is still together, and they’ve even become parents. Though they welcomed theiradorable daughter, Henley,in April 2017, starting their family hasn’t been an easy process. The stars havesuffered through three miscarriages, the mostrecent in January 2019, just two weeks after they announcedthey were expecting. They welcomed son Hendrix Douglas in May 2020.

Monet and Vaughn (Season 1)

Although sparks flew at their wedding (and they consummated their marriage that night), the couple quickly ran into problems when Vaughn accused Monet of being “annoying.” It was no surprise when the couple chose to not stay married at the end of the show.

Today, Monet is enjoying the single life in New York City and has appeared in her own spin-off reality series,Blacklove. As for Vaughn, he has a new girlfriend and is now a dad to his first child.

Jaclyn and Ryan (Season 2)

When Jaclyn first met Ryan during Married at First Sight season 2, she confessed to cameras that she was “not attracted to him at all.” Surprisingly, the couple grew close and decided to stay married at the end of the show. However, during the reunion, Jaclyn revealed that Ryan told her after the cameras stopped rolling that he had “no feelings for her” and they later divorced.

She has since found new love and has a daughter named Lainey and another baby on the way! Ryan, for his part, is a “real estate agent living the dream,” according to his Instagram bio.

Davina and Sean (Season 2)

Although the couple had an instant connection on their wedding day, things quickly went sour after the honeymoon when the couple started to clash over their living arrangements. With Sean in New Jersey and Davina in Manhattan, the two rarely saw each other, and at the end of the show, they decided to get a divorce.

Today, Davina has finally found love and is now married to Donald Davis. They have a son named Hudson. As for Sean, he posted on Twitter back in 2015 that he no longer has anything to do with the show and has “moved on.”

Sam and Neil (Season 3)

This couple got off to a rough start during Married at First Sight season 3, with Sam admitting to not finding Neil attractive. Although the couple grew closer throughout the show, with Sam even confessing to “missing him” once, Neil ultimately decided to get divorced, citing the way Sam treated him in the first few weeks as the reason why.

Despite their dramatic breakup, the couple remains friends and have both posted several pictures together on Twitter. Sam tied the knot again, and now she and her husband, Chris, share a daughter named Isabella and reside in Atlanta, Georgia.

Jessica and Ryan (Season 2)

Although they both found each other attractive, as the couple’s relationship progressed, it became apparent that their personalities just didn’t click. Despite their many arguments, they decided to stay married at the end of the show. However, during the reunion, Jessica revealed that she caught Ryan cheating on her, and so the two got a divorce.

After the show, things didn’t get much better between the couple. In 2015, Jessica filed a restraining order against Ryan for threatening to kill her and harm her family. Ryan denied the allegations on Instagram.

Today, Jessica is a proud mom. “Baby boy made his presence known on 12/31 at 8:21 a.m.,” she announced in January 2021. “Little Sergio and myself are doing well.” As for Ryan, although his current occupation is unclear, he’s active on Twitter.

Vanessa and Trey (Season 3)

Although they hit it off right away, the couple ran into issues throughout the show. Vanessa worried Trey wasn’t husband material, while Trey complained that Vanessa didn’t trust him. Regardless, the couple stayed married at the end of the show and shocked viewers when it was revealed during the reunion that they got a divorce.

Since then, Vanessa has appeared in the spin-off reality TV show Married at First Sight: Second Chances, but as of today, has a new business venture: SoulWick Co. As for Trey, he appears to be living the life he did before the show and tweets a lot about sports on Twitter.

David and Ashley (Season 3)

From their wedding day to decision day, this couple was doomed for failure. Although David said he was happy to have Ashley as his wife, Ashley constantly lamented to cameras that David was “a stranger” and that she needed more time to open up. As fans criticized her for being “cold,” it came as no surprise when the couple decided to get divorced.

After the show, it was later revealed that David had a criminal history that the show kept under wraps, much to the chagrin of Ashley’s mother who revealed to InTouch Weekly that “[Ashley] feels duped.”

However, the news didn’t stop David’s reality TV career and he appeared in the spin-off series Married at First Sight: Second Chances alongside fellow MAFS costar Vanessa in 2017. However, he appears to still be single.

As for Ashley, she was finishing up nursing school after the series and is now wed to a new man. But that’s not all: she has a precious baby boy named Julian now!

Sonia and Nick (Season 4)

Although they got along on their wedding day and honeymoon, both Sonia and Nick struggled throughout their relationship with intimacy. Although they had several setbacks, one of them being Nick screaming about “not liking” Sonia to producers, the couple decided to stay together at the end of the show.

Although the couple stayed together for several months after the show, Sonia confirmed in March 2017 on Twitter that the couple had filed for divorce. Two months after splitting, Nick announced he was seeing love coach Heather Yerrid. The two welcomed twins in 2018.

It appears they are still cordial because Sonia reached out to her former flame support after he suffered a near-fatal workplace accident in 2019. She now has a podcast and has started a new Instagram account called The Broke Philanthropist.

Heather and Derek (Season 4)

The couple made MAFS history for being the first couple to call it quits after only two weeks into the experiment. After a successful wedding, things got rocky during the honeymoon when Heather confronted Derek about his constant smoking, which she called a “deal-breaker.” After a heated argument, Heather told producers she no longer was interested in staying married to Derek.

Today, Heather appears to be off social media. As for Derek, he too lives in Florida and seems to be enjoying the single life.

Lillian and Tom (Season 4)

It was love at first sight for Lillian and Tom, who had an almost-perfect relationship during their season. Although they ran into problems along the way, particularly when it came to finances, they decided to stay married at the end of the show.

For 14 months, Lillian and Tom remained married and appeared to be very happy together. Unfortunately, Lillian announced on Twitter in June 2017 that she and Tom got divorced. As of 2021, she works as an Investment Sales and Acquisitions Real Estate Broker licensed in North Carolina and Florida.

In August 2019, Tom announced his own big news, that he and Michelle Sharkey had gotten hitched. Taking to Instagram, Tom wrote, “We tied the knot! Proudly announcing ourselves as husband and wife – more pics to come but cheers y’all!”

Sheila and Nate (Season 5)

Although this couple had many explosive fights, with both of them threatening divorce throughout their season, they ultimately decided to stay married. At the reunion update, they revealed that they were still together, but a few months later they announced they were separating on social media. Sheila also accused Nate of talking to other women while they were married! They officially divorced in December 2017 and she now has a private Instagram account.

Cody and Danielle (Season 5)

Although things started off great with this couple, they struggled with intimacy through the entire season, revealing on Decision Day that they still hadn’t had sex. They decided to stay married anyway and managed to last until the reunion show but announced their split on Twitter a few weeks later.

Today, Danielle and Cody both are enjoying their post-MAFS life.

Ashley and Anthony (Season 5)

This couple had an instant connection and were fan favorites throughout their season. On Decision Day, they decided to stay together, which was no surprise.

They’re still together and even announced they were expecting baby No. 1 in August 2018. Together, they welcomed daughter Mila Rose in January 2019. “She is everything I dreamed of and more,” Ashley wrote on Instagram. “We are so in love and can’t wait to show our baby girl the world!”

As of July 2020, baby No. 2 was officially on the way. “We are pregnant! Thirteen weeks and two days to be exact. I could not wait to reach my second trimester as it has been a very difficult road for us to get here,” Ashley told People. Revealing she’s had spotting and bleeding, she said the couple is “cautiously optimistic” about having a healthy baby. Their daughter Vaeda Marie arrived in February 2021.

Jackie and Ryan (Season 6)

Jaclyn, a.k.a. Jackie, and Ryan may have decided to stay married at the end of the show, but ultimately, their relationship didn’t last long. After 10 months of marriage, the two called it quits. “We have split and trust me we are both much happier and healthier this way,” Jackie wrote on Instagram in June 2018. “I’m always grateful for learning experiences, especially when they involve self-growth.”

Congratulations are in order for Jackie, though. In May 2019, the star revealed on Instagram that she’s engaged to someone new. Today, Jaclyn is married to a new man.

She and husband Dane Olah welcomed their first child together in June 2022. “And in that moment, my life become 1,000,000 times better. So thankful for you baby girl,” the Massachusetts native shared via Instagram as she announced the exciting news. “You didn’t make it easy but my goodness I’d do it over and over again to relive this moment. My whole world. I’ll be crying for days over here.”

As for Ryan, he still sells real estate on Long Island and appears to be single.

Molly and Jonathan (Season 6)

Molly and Jonathan made a beautiful couple on the show, but they couldn’t manage to make it work. By the end of the experiment, they’d decided to divorce and go their separate ways. But that doesn’t mean that MAFS didn’t give the couple — or at least half of the couple — a happy ending.

Though it seems Molly is still single, Jon actually ended up engaged to Dr. Jessica, one of the experts on the show. The couple went public eight months after Jon and Molly called it quits, and now they’re getting ready to walk down the aisle.

Shawniece and Jephte (Season 6)

It was clear from day one that Shawniece and Jephte had a serious connection, and no one was particularly surprised when they decided to stay married at the end of the show. Though they did temporarily separate after filming, they found their way back to each other — and even started a family. In April 2018, they announced they were expecting, and they welcomed their daughter in October that year. Fans saw them bring baby Laure Denise Pierre home on Married at First Sight: Happily Ever After.

In May 2020, the lovebirds dished about their plans to expand their family, telling In Touch exclusively they are “hoping the next one arrives around January 2025.”

“But seriously, we’re in no rush,” Shawniece and Jephte added at the time. “We’re enjoying Laura and growing as a couple.”

Mia and Tristan (Season 7)

Mia and Tristan faced some serious drama during their short-lived marriage, including Mia’s legal troubles. They wanted to make it work, and at the end of the season, they decided to stay together. However, the finale aired after Mia had already filed for divorce IRL. The couple finalized their split in November 2018 without “any reasonable expectation of reconciliation.”

Though Mia has a private Instagram now, her bio says she is “always smilin and positive viben.” So, what about Tristan? On June 2, 2019, the reality star revealed that he popped the question to his new lady Rachel — and she said yes!

He shared a life update in December 2020, gushing over his new bride and child on the way. “Rachel these past two years have been absolutely crazy. From bae to fiancé to wife and to baby momma. Going through multiple moves, a global pandemic, job changes and so much more. Your love gives me strength,” he shared.

Amber and Dave (Season 7)

They made it through the season and decided to stay together, but once the cameras were gone, it became clear that staying married would be easier said than done. In December 2018, Amber confirmed on Instagram that she and Dave had called it quits. “We obviously had a lot of tough moments, but we shared a lot of laughs and fun times together too,” she wrote. “In the end, we just weren’t a good match, but I learned a lot through the experience and can now say I’m thankful for it. I wish Dave well, and I know he wishes the same for me in return.”

Dave shared his own message: “As most know by now, @amberdianne82 and I have decided to file for divorce. Although we weren’t the right match in the end, I will always be thankful to have gone through this experience with Amber and wish her nothing but the best! … While we had our challenges, my lasting memories will be of the light-hearted and fun moments we shared throughout the journey together … Excited for the next chapter of my life. And … contrary to popular belief … I was a pretty great cat dad!”

For now, it seems like both halves of this couple are focusing on themselves and their families.

Danielle and Bobby (Season 7)

These two seemed like a match made in heaven. Though it took some time for the couple to work out what their future would look like together, they made it through the season and decided to stay together — and almost immediately started a family. The couple announced they were expecting in October 2018 before the reunion special, and in February 2019, they welcomed their daughter, Olivia Nicole. And their brood grew again with the arrival of their second child together, son Robert Elvin Dodd IV, on December 14, 2020.

Stephanie and AJ (Season 8)

They had their ups and downs, but they both agreed that their chemistry was electric from day one. The couple started ajoint Instagram together (though they also each have their own) and they seem to be more in love than ever. “Thinking about our first trip together to Costa Rica for our honeymoon! Only 1 week in, we knew something was special” Stephanie shared in June 2019. “Do you all remember the romantic dinner he planned for me on the beach? I literally melted!”

Stephanie and AJ are still going strong! “Wow sorry we haven’t posted to this account in a while! So, here’s us in Cabo celebrating our 2-year anniversary,” she captioned a snap in September 2020.

Jasmine and Will (Season 8)

They seemed to have trouble from the jump, and when push came to shove, they just couldn’t move past it. When the experiment ended, Jasmine wanted to stay together and put more time and effort into their relationship, but Will called it quits. Though they had some drama after the show, they seem to be back on OK terms and they reunited to celebrate costar Stephanie’s birthday with her, AJ, and some other MAFS stars in June 2019.

Jasmine now has a new man in her life, and she is a proud mama to son Jacoby.

Kate and Luke (Season 8)

Throughout the season, they had a rocky relationship, but the truth eventually started to come out. While Kate was initially interested in her husband, Luke just wasn’t feeling it — and though they had sex several times, he admitted after the fact that he was never comfortable with it. Throughout the show, Kate accused her husband of lying before they finally called it quits at the end of the experiment. Though he apologized for the way he treated her, they went their separate ways.

Fortunately, she is still on great terms with her fellow season 8 brides. The four women reunited for Stephanie’s birthday and to watch the season 9 premiere in June 2019. As for Luke, he has since been romantically linked to a woman named Sammi.

Kristine and Keith (Season 8)

This couple had some major roadblocks to overcome, but they managed to make it through and fall in love. By the end of the season, it was clear they were the real deal, and they decided to stay married. These days, they’re constantly cuddling up to each other on Instagram and being just generally too cute for words. Together, the couple are working on renovating their home and building their life.

“You just have to work it. You can’t be the same old you and try to have a new life with someone new,” Keith told E! News in July 2020. “Because the same old you was not working out for yourself,” she added.

Amber and Matt (Season 9)

During their marriage, Amber worried about Matt’s transient lifestyle getting in the way of their romance — and when he started disappearing, things got even worse. Cheating rumors started flying during the season, and when it came time to make their decision, both felt divorce was for the best.

Since splitting, Amber has been focusing on the positive things in life, and she is now a proud homeowner. She always stayed friends with her fellow season 9 brides, even posting a drop-dead gorgeous photo of herself and Iris in black dresses. “It’s a nice day for a divorce,” she captioned the pic with a tea emoji. For now, Matt seems to be more focused on his job than anything else.

Deonna and Greg (Season 9)

Slow and steady won the race with these two! Though there may have been some surprises along the way, Deonna and Greg seemed to get along fabulously during their season of the show. When the experiment was over, they made the decision to stay married — and at the reunion, they revealed they were still together.

The pair announced she is pregnant with their first child in February 2021 and confirmed they will soon be parents of a baby boy.

Elizabeth and Jamie (Season 9)

Jamie and Elizabeth’s passion was clear, and it led to some enormous fights between them on season 9. Despite the ups and downs, the couple wanted to work through their (many, many) issues, and when Decision Day rolled around, they chose to stay together. At the reunion, they revealed they took a break for a while, but still found their way back to each other.

Since the show, the pair have made a few states their home, including California and Colorado. However, shortly after celebrating four years of marriage, the pair shocked fans in April 2023, after Jamie revealed the couple was “taking time away” from their marriage.

“A lot of you have been asking questions … So, I just wanted to share that I’m taking some time away from my wife,” the season 9 star shared via Instagram on April 22, 2023. “It’s not easy, but it’s necessary for me to become the best version of myself.”

After sharing the initial post, the tech guru took to his Instagram Stories to give further insight into their conclusion to separate. When asked by a follower if it was a mutual decision, he replied, “At first it was not. Beth was the first one to leave. The fighting had got really bad, I’m not gonna lie. I said a lot of things I really should not have said.”

“I said them out of anger and frustration,” he continued. “But I also haven’t felt like I’ve had any reciprocation back of like, how to fix this or move forward. She’s been gone for four weeks, and I think at this point, it’s better for me to focus on myself and trying to become a better person.”

Unfortunately, their separation became permanent after Jamie shared that he officially filed for divorce in June 2023.

“Last Friday was a really tough day for me. I did something I thought I would never have to do. Here I am, sitting in front of the Denver courthouse,” he shared via Instagram at the time. “After months of deliberation with Beth, we were just unable to find common ground. I had really hoped to resolve this, but it feels like we have reached the point of no return. So, I made the decision to go ahead and file for divorce for the sake of my own mental health and well being. It was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do in a very long time.”

Iris and Keith (Season 9)

Iris was waiting for marriage to have sex, and her reservations about this marriage being the marriage proved troublesome for the couple. Though they put in a lot of work on their relationship over the course of the experiment, it wasn’t enough for Keith. By Decision Day, he was tired of waiting for his wife to open up and decided to move forward. Though Iris wanted to keep trying, these two ended up moving towards divorce.

In October, Iris reflected on her time on the show, writing, “Everything happens for a reason. God makes no mistakes! God’s direction may not be what you want, but it is what you NEED, it’s what he NEEDs and for that I am blessed beyond measure, because what doesn’t break me makes me stronger in faith!!”

Jessica and Austin (Season 10)

The couple clearly hit it off on the show, but by the time Decision Day rolled around and the groom hadn’t yet told his bride that he loved her, fans weren’t sure what would happen between them. Luckily, Austin knew how he felt about his wife even if he hadn’t said so. As the duo decided to stay married, he told Jessica those three little words. “I think Austin and I balance each other really well and make a good team,” Jessica exclusively told In Touch after her season aired. “[I] felt like I could genuinely be myself [with him].”

Does this mean they are still together today? Yes! The happy couple even welcomed a baby boy, Westin Paul, in November 2021.

Katie and Derek (Season 10)

Katie almost didn’t get married after an ex reappeared in her life, and that former relationship hovered over both their heads throughout the process. Though both the stars liked each other, neither was 100 percent sure they were a perfect fit. Regardless, they decided to take the leap and stay married, trusting that the friendship they built would be the foundation for an amazing relationship.

By the time the reunion rolled around, however, they’d called it quits — and Derek accused Katie of having multiple affairs with her ex, at least one of which she admitted to. “Katie’s feelings for her ‘ex’ still played a major role in our marriage,” he exclusively told In Touch. “[It was] to the point where I felt like … I was constantly being compared to him.”

Meka and Michael (Season 10)

Michael’s lies were an ongoing issue in this relationship — but by the end of the experiment, the couple was starting to get to a good place. As Decision Day loomed closer, however, neither was sure that was enough. The groom refused to consider that divorce could be an option, however, and was ready to keep trying. Unfortunately for him, his wife wasn’t on the same page. When the time came, Meka revealed she wanted a divorce.

“Michael’s issues are so deep-rooted that he isn’t even aware when he’s lying or he truly does not care what the situation is; he will always lie if it’s convenient for him,” Meka exclusively told In Touch. “I really wanted to honor my commitment to the process. Part of the commitment was honoring our vows and being the person that we claimed to be to the experts, and I think there were many times that that just simply wasn’t the case for Michael.”

He is now in a new relationship and is a “girl dad in training” to his new flame’s daughter.

Mindy and Zach (Season 10)

Their marriage ended long before Decision Day. After experts and Mindy all called Zach out over his complete lack of effort in the relationship, his wife finally had enough. “I gave my marriage everything I had and then some, but when my emotional health and wellbeing were compromised, it was time to walk away,” she exclusively told In Touch in April 2020.

As for Zach, he admits that “without having any sort of connection with Mindy, [he] struggled to attach any emotional meaning to the words ‘marriage’ and ‘wife.'” Ultimately, he couldn’t overcome that challenge. “I clearly underestimated the difference between a traditional marriage with growth in a chosen partner versus an assigned partner,” he told In Touch.

Taylor and Brandon (Season 10)

Brandon seemingly checked out of filming before the show was over — and Taylor even feared he’d left her hanging when he showed up late to Decision Day. Though they connected when they were by themselves, things were rocky whenever they were in front of cameras. Ultimately, after talking to the experts about the state of her marriage, Taylor decided she wanted a divorce. Brandon was ultimately granted an annulment after their wedding aired on the series.

Amelia and Bennett (Season 11)

Amelia and Bennett seemed like a great match while starring on season 11. By Decision Day, they chose to continue pursuing their marriage. However, their love wasn’t meant to be and they split in November 2021 after one year of marriage, according to E! News.

Amani and Woody (Season 11)

Woody and Amani formed a strong bond when they were set up, while they have continued to pursue a happy relationship off the show. In June 2022, they welcomed their first child together, son Reign Randall.

Woody and Amani regularly gush about their relationship on social media, including when they celebrated their third wedding anniversary in February 2023. “To my beautiful wife, the mother of my children and my lifelong partner: Every love story is special, unique and beautiful—but ours is my favorite,” he wrote via Instagram. “I believe everything happens for a reason because it led me to you. I love you, happy anniversary, Sweets!”

Olivia and Brett (Season 11)

Both Olivia and Brett felt they were ready for marriage when they joined season 11. However, they weren’t a perfect match and split before Decision Day. In August 2022, Olivia told People that “marrying a stranger is not for the faint of heart.”

Christina and Henry (Season 11)

Christina and Henry joined the show with high hopes that they would be matched with their perfect person. Unfortunately, they weren’t a fit and decided not to continue their marriage on Decision Day.

Karen and Miles (Season 11)

Miles and Karen chose to stay together on Decision Day and are still together now. They previously kept fans up to date about their relationship through theirYouTube series, though the most recent video was shared in June 2022.

Ryan and Clara (Season 12)

Ryan OubreandClara Berghausannounced their split two months after the show came to an end. “After taking some time away from cameras, we have reached that point in our marriage where we know it’s better to go our separate ways,” he shared in a statement via his Instagram Story on Monday, July 12. Ryan and Clara were one of the three couples who choose to stay together on Decision Day, so they said it was“not an easy decision to make it, nor we do we take these next steps lightly.”

The former flames expressed how they are “grateful to all who stood by us, and continue to stand by us as we make this very difficult decision. It goes without saying, we remain friends and hope for nothing but the best for each other.”

Chris and Paige (Season 12)

While Chris and Paige didn’t get off to a great start on their wedding day, things got worse only days later when Chris revealed his ex-fiancé was pregnant with his baby. Despite Paige still trying to make the new marriage work, the couple ultimately decided to call it quits on Decision Day.

Since leaving the show, Paige went Instagram official with a new partner named Justin in September 2023 and also revealed she was pregnant with their first child.

Erik Lake and Virginia Coombs (Season 12)

Erik and Virginia decided to divorce despite saying ‘Yes’ on Decision Day, Us Weekly confirmed in July 2022. The now-exes got married on August 31, 2020, and breakup rumors had previously been swirling for a few months.

“We’ve made best efforts to keep some parts of our relationship out of the public eye. This entire process has been difficult as is without the constant chatter of public opinion,” Erik and Virginia said while addressing their split in a statement toE! News. “Contrary to popular belief, we’ve been together and trying to make our marriage work since Decision Day. While we have decided to get a divorce, we aren’t closing the doors on a possible future together. We love each other and will continue to navigate our new reality post show.”

In October 2022, the pilot went Instagram official with his new girlfriend, Logen.

“The past is the past and I can’t sit here and regret every little thing that happened before because all of it led me right where I’m supposed to be now. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been,” the season 12 alum wrote alongside an adorable picture of the pair exploring the outdoors together. “I’ve seen that level of happiness all around me for years and years in other people’s relationships. It’s an amazing thing to witness and I thought I knew what that felt like a time or two, but when you actually find someone that puts you on a level you never knew you could attain, it’s an unbelievable feeling.”

Jose San Miguel Jr. and Rachel Gordillo (Season 13)

Jose and Rachel decided they didn’t have a future together and mutually agreed to file for divorce in December 2021. The couple split after their decision day, but later decide to make a go of their marriage. They even took a romantic honeymoon to the Florida Keys in August, which the NASA Mission Flight Specialist shared photos of on his Instagram.

“After much thought, we have decided that we are better off going our separate ways,” they said in a joint statement toPeople. “It’s a decision we do not make lightly, but after some back and forth and trying to make this marriage work, we know this decision best serves our future.”

Gil and Myrla (Season 13)

From day one, it was no secret that Myrla and Gil had major differences when it came to their lifestyle choices. While Myrla worked hard and enjoyed the finer things, money wasn’t a motivator for Gil and he didn’t mind living a simpler life.

Despite a roller coaster journey and major bumps in the road, Myrla and Gil decided to stay married on Decision Day.

However, during the reunion special, the pair revealed they split just 14 days after the cameras went away. Myrla cited financial instability and chemistry as the reasons for their separation.

Jasmina and Michael (Season 14)

Jasmina and Michael struggled to get their connection out of the “friendzone” during the eight-week experiment. While the pair decided to give their romance a shot past Decision Day, the couple announced at the reunion special that they separated just two weeks after filming ended.

Michael asked his wife for a divorce, explaining that he felt he was “not getting anything from” the relationship. The personal trainer added, “I feel like there’s certain validation and certain things that I need that I’m not getting here.”

Jasmina on the other hand, felt that she had put more effort into the relationship than her husband. The educator also described a nasty fight that unfolded between the two. “He said I wasn’t putting in any effort. And so the way that conversation was handled, I was just like, ‘I don’t have time for it.’ So if he didn’t ask me for it [divorce], I was going to,” she added.

Despite their split, the exes hold no bad blood toward each other. “I personally like the space that we are in, and I’m glad we can be in the same room without it feeling like a lot of tension,” Jasmina continued. “‘Cause he’s a great guy and he’s super funny.”

Olajuwon and Katina (Season 14)

Olajuwon and Katina shared instant chemistry from the moment they first laid eyes on each other at their wedding. However, Katina would soon learn her new husband’s unrealistic expectations for a “traditional wife.”

“As much as I’m loving you, I got to be real with you. I have to keep you grounded because I have to know when I say ‘Yes’ on Decision Day, I know you can hold this s—t down,” he told her during a March 2022 episode. “But when it comes to a marriage, there are some of these things that I expect to be already there. That’s what I’m trying to figure out, if you have that base.”

While Katina and Olajuwon said ‘Yes’ on Decision Day, the pair sadly announced their split in November 2022.

“After one year of marriage and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways,” the couple’s joint statement read on Instagram. “However, this was not an easy decision to make. We leave our marriage with enormous love and respect for each other. We only ask that, at this time, our privacy is respected.”

However, only a month later, the pair sparked reconciliation rumors after reuniting for a tropical vacation in December 2022.

“Never forget you’re a fearless woman! You fight every fear from animals ‘Alpacas’ to deep ocean swimming ‘snorkeling’ and more!” the season 14 alum wrote via Instagram, in a post dedicated to his MAFS bride. “Thank you for always having faith in whatever my heart and mind desires in life. Thank you for making sure I have a strong relationship with God. I appreciate everything you have taught me about myself without you even knowing it.”

He went on to thank the MAFS franchise for introducing him to Katina and added, “God is good in so many ways I get emotional just thinking of my life and how much I have matured as a man. I am truly thankful words can’t express it.”

Their reunion didn’t last long as the couple seemingly split again by February 2023.

“We both have made the decision to walk away from our marriage. We are officially legally separated,” Olajuwon wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post on February 9, 2023. “We leave with the utmost respect for each other. At this moment, we ask for space. Thank you to everyone who supported us.”

In March 2023, it was announced that Olajuwon and Katina were set to appear on Married at First Sight: Couples Couch.

While the couple is seemingly not together, that same month, Olajuwon took to Instagram to share a few throwback photos with Katina. In one snap, he nuzzled close to his rumored ex as he tagged her Instagram handle in the post.

The off-again, on-again couple continued to confuse fans in June 2023, when Olajuwon and Katina shared that they were on a vacation in the Bahamas together.

Noi and Steve (Season 14)

Noi and Steve had an immediate connection from their wedding day. Noi even told Steve that she was beginning to fall in love with him on their honeymoon.

However, Steve did not have a job and the lack of financial stability worried his new bride.

“They both come from close knit families with a strong desire to have children,” Dr. Viviana Coles said of the match. “They have the foundation for a long-lasting marriage but only if they can work through their financial issues and both feel secure with trusting each other.”

At the time, the pair stayed married on Decision Day and Steve re-proposed to his wife in front of their castmates but later split in July 2022.

“Divorce feels good,” Noi captioned an Instagram Story at the time, whereas Steve penned a lengthy note, which he posted via Instagram.

“I was not expecting this announcement to happen today, but I am prepared to handle it,” Steve wrote. “When I said yes on decision day, I knew that our relationship was far from perfect, but I held the belief that with enough time, effort, and understanding, we could overcome the challenges we faced, and build a healthy, functioning relationship. Over time, I’ve lost hope that this could happen and believe we are incompatible in ways that attempts at compromise can’t seem to fix or overcome.”

He continued, “Noi, I’ll always love you. I so wish we were a better fit. I wish we could meet each other’s needs without feeling like we have to compromise ourselves to a point beyond that we consider acceptable.”

Following their highly publicized split, Noi has stayed optimistic about her love life.

“I will always believe in love,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories in October 2022. “Despite all odds and the ugliness that has been served to me this year … How bold and brave in what has destroyed me.”

Mark and Lindsey (Season 14)

Mark and Lindsey initially seemed like they were on the same page when it came to their romance. However, their high-energy personalities would translate to equally explosive fights.

After a season of highs and lows, the pair shocked fans by choosing to stay together on Decision Day. It would last long as the pair revealed they split by the season’s reunion special five months later.

“I’ve been picked on a lot as a kid,” Mark told Kevin Frazier. “I would put Lindsay at the top for the way I was threatened and bullied like that.”

Lindy and Miguel (Season 15)

While Lindy and Miguel had their disagreements, the newly married couple shared a high emotional intelligence and were able to talk out their problems. Miguel had a tendency to blow issues out of proportion and Lindy disliked her husband’s all-or-nothing mindset when it came to their relationship. The couple ultimately chose to stay together on Decision Day.

Following their time on the series, Lindy and Miguel shielded their relationship from social media, leading Lifetime fans to speculate on a possible split between the season 15 stars.

In November 2022, Lindy shared a compilation of the couple’s televised nuptials via an Instagram Reel, asking for privacy as they “navigated” their marriage.

“We have shared so much of our relationship and are loving the peace of not filming a TV show,” she captioned the post. “Thank you for understanding, we love you all!”

However, Lindy later confirmed their split on February 13, 2023, calling their divorce “painful.”

“Sadly, it’s impossible to stay married if both people are not equally committed to the success of the marriage,” the doctor of physical therapy posted on her Instagram. “Neither of us regret getting married at first sight and are happy we experienced a genuine connection. While it has been difficult, and it didn’t work out for us, we are incredibly grateful for this experiment and opportunity.”

Lindy had sparked split speculation earlier in the month after reuniting with her fellow San Diego brides, writing they were “grieving and celebrating” one year following their time on the controversial marriage experiment.

Lindy opened up about the split a year later, revealing she was “blindsided” by Miguel when he asked for a divorce.

“I’m still processing everything in therapy, though it’s been over a year but yeah … I don’t know. We weren’t just right for each other,” she explained via her Instagram Stories in January 2024. “Right after we filmed the ‘Where Are They Now’ episode, he asked me for a divorce. Two weeks after we filmed that episode, where we were talking about looking at buying houses, talking about starting a family, re-took our wedding photos … yeah completely blindsided me.”

Stacia and Nate (Season 15)

Nate and Stacia were matched for their high ambition and had dreams of building a legacy for their future family. Despite being strangers, the duo sparked immediate physical chemistry but eventually found themselves struggling to meet each other’s emotional needs.

Stacia and Nate took their commitment seriously as they both opted to tattoo their wedding date on their hands. On Decision Day, the San Diego couple chose to stay married.

However, by the season 15 Where Are They Now? special, Stacia revealed to her mother that she asked Nate for a “separation.”

“Well, a divorce, I guess,” Stacia clarified during the November 2022 episode. During the experiment, the San Diego couple had conflicting views on growing their family and Stacia eventually grew frustrated with Nate’s slower pace.

“You have to realize your pace is a lot different than normal paces,” her mother, Stacy, replied. “You know what you want and you’ll go after it, and a lot of people aren’t there.”

While at the time, the couple decided to work on their marriage — fans have speculated Nate and Stacia have since split.

In December 2022, Nate ignited the rumors when he took to Instagram to reveal what looked like a romantic rooftop dinner — with a woman who wasn’t his wife.

“I’m working on something for all of you,” the stockbroker wrote in the caption. “Stay tuned for an announcement … Right place, right time. Cheers to alignment and abundance.”

In the comment section, Lifetime viewers were quick to point out his wife’s absence.

“Where’s Stacia?” one follower wrote. Meanwhile, another added, “Why aren’t you making boss moves with your wife? No dates, no pics. Nada.”

Following speculation, Stacia confirmed that she and Nate called it quits during the season 16 kickoff special in December 2022. “Nate is no longer around. Yeah, I am divorced,” she revealed. “Yeah, It’s time [to move on].”

“Everything that he agreed to do on the show were all words. There was no action. I gave it time. I waited. I was patient. I lived with him to give him more time to let him know that I was committed,” the TV personality continued. “I still want to be friends. I have no ill will [toward] him. I always, like, I love him [like a friend].”

Jasmine and Airris (Season 16)

At the time of the experiment, Airris was a 39-year-old software engineer who had never been in love. Meanwhile, the cheerleading coach considered herself a “hopeless romantic,” who was just missing her person.

While the Nashville natives shared a whirlwind wedding day, Airris revealed on their honeymoon that he was not physically attracted to his new wife. This caused Jasmine to shut down and the pair struggled with creating intimacy in their marriage.

Despite the season 16 couple making major strides in their relationship by Decision Day, they opted to divorce.

Nicole and Chris (Season 16)

Chris and Nicole shared an instant connection that continued throughout the eight-week experiment. While Chris was described as a “nice guy” by the rest of the group, Nicole had insecurities his feelings would change later in their marriage.

“If I say no on Decision Day, it would be because of just Nicole questioning things and not being super secure with things,” Chris told producers during the May 17, 2023, episode. “If she’s just always going to be questioning whether or not I am on the same page as her, it will definitely be a huge wrench in our marriage.”

Fortunately, the pair opted to stay together on Decision Day.

Gina and Clint (Season 16)

While Gina and Clint were able to establish a friendship, the spark in their relationship was never found.

It was no surprise to viewers that Gina and Clint opted to end their marriage on Decision Day.

Domynique and Mack (Season 16)

While the new couple shared a mutual attraction on their wedding day, Domynique was initially disappointed her husband wasn’t as adventurous as she was while on their honeymoon.

When the pair moved to Nashville, the problems only grew in the new marriage. When it was time for them to move in together, Domynique judged Mack harshly for living in the basem*nt of a family friend.

“I feel like I made a smart decision by not jumping into a new house or apartment when I was going through this process,” Mack said of his recent move from Michigan to Nashville. “All I can say is I came down here with the intent of moving here and making sure I liked it. I wanted to not jump into a place just to jump into a place.”

Dom only further grilled him, asking, “Why jump into a marriage though?” Unfortunately, two weeks into the experiment, the pair ended their marriage.

Kirsten and Shaquille (Season 16)

Kirsten and Shaquille struggled early on to build their connection. While their relationship started out cold, the pair were eventually able to forge a strong connection rooted in religion and their strong family values.

During Decision Day, Kirsten gave her answer that she wanted to remain married. Unfortunately, Shaquille chose to end the relationship.

“I appreciate you so much as a person because like, you’re loving, you’re kind,” he told Kirsten during the May 24 episode. “But it’s been very difficult for me, as a man, to really just try to step up to be the man you wanted me to be, that you needed me to be, to give you all of the charms that life has to offer.”

Becca and Austin (Season 17)

The MAFS experts felt Becca and Austin would be a great match as Becca would “bring the fun side” out of Austin while he offered “a great deal of emotional intelligence.”

The expert panel was correct as Becca and Austin found immediate sparks upon their first meeting on their wedding day.

Unfortunately, this relationship is speculated to end in divorce, according to MAFSfan.

Orion and Lauren (Season 17)

Lauren and Orion sparked major chemistry on their wedding day. Lauren was someone who described herself as having a “loving and adventurous nature,” and the experts felt she was the perfect bride for Orion, someone who was “ready to dive into the depths of a relationship.”

Unfortunately, the cracks in their relationship would show by their honeymoon. The pair got into their first major argument during the November 15, 2023, episode after Lauren joked about not understanding the significance behind the slur “redskin.”

The tension escalated during the November 22, 2023, episode when Orion asked Lauren when the last time she had sex was, to which she replied, “Two months probably to the day.”

Orion was visibly uncomfortable before admitting the revelation “took sex off the table” for him.

The pair opted to end their marriage during the December 6, 2023, episode after Orion admitted he “lost” all romantic interest in the marriage.

Clare and Cameron (Season 17)

Cameron is originally from New Zealand and hoped to find a life partner to create a family in the States away from his family overseas.

The experts felt Clare had the family aspect that Cameron craved as she was born as a quadruplet and was very close to her parents. In turn, Clare wanted someone who could take her “out of her comfort zone” and help her be a little more spontaneous.

Clare and Cameron had friendly chemistry, though had issues finding the spark in their relationship. After realizing they had differing views on religion, raising kids and affection, the pair opted for divorce only 31 days into their marriage.

Emily and Brennan (Season 17)

Brennan was a software consultant from New York, who was looking for someone who had the same ambitions as him. Meanwhile, Emily was nicknamed the “life of the party” and had never been in a relationship before getting married on the series.

Viewers were initially unsure of the season 17 couple — calling out Emily on social media for telling her new husband at her wedding reception that she did body shots with the strippers at her bachelorette party — and they were right. Emily and Brennan’s marriage seemingly ends in divorce, according to MAFS fan account MAFSFan.
