The latest season of Married at First Sight is currently airing and it’s just as popular now as it was when the experimental show first started. Participants come on the show hoping to find everlasting love and while a fair amount does, it doesn’t always work out for everyone.
However, the couples that have stayed together past Decision Day and beyond have become success stories for any other hopefuls wishing to find love on Married at First Sight and for a long and continuing marriage.
Doug and Jamie (Season 1)
Doug and Jaime met in season one of Married at First Sight. After the show, the couple welcomed two kids, Henley and Hendrix. The two have a podcast called Hot Marriage, Cool Parents in which they have a guest on their show to discuss their personal life on how to be a parent and keep a marriage strong.
Jaime spoke about her fertility and post-partum issues in an essay with Women’s Day, as well as the toll it has taken on their marriage, but that she’s more committed than ever to keeping her marriage alive and strong (via Jamie’s Instagram).
Ashley Petta and Anthony D’Amico (Season 5)
Since leaving the show, Ashley and Anthony have welcomed two daughters, Mila and Vaeda. They also appeared on Married at First Sight: Happily Ever After? in which fans got to see how the couple grew as a family in a way that allowed them to continue their strong connection.
These days, Ashley often posts photos and reels on her Instagram showcasing her parenting style, funny exchanges between her and Anthony, and of course, her adorable daughters. Anthony posts similar styles of videos and photos on his Instagram, as well as his exercise routines.
Shawniece Jackson and Jephte Pierre (Season 6)
Shawniece and Jephte are the only couple still together from season 6, were remembered in the show as having a hard time getting to know each other but ultimately decided to stay together and have since cultivated a strong marriage. In 2018, the couple welcomed their daughter, Laura.
Shawniece and Jephte are owners of multiple companies including At Say Cheez, a studio for content creators, as well as a hair styling salon. They both often post photos of their daughter, including Jephte posting a “certified girl dad” post with Laura (via his Instagram).
Danielle Bergman and Bobby Dodd (Season 7)
Danielle and Bobby were one of the sweetest couples to come out of Married at First Sight, and it was evident from the get-go that the two would make it in the long run. Other participants from the show felt slightly miffed by the ease of Danielle and Bobby’s relationship and the fact that they could resolve their issues without fighting.
The two have welcomed two kids since their time on MAFS, Olivia and Bobby. Danielle and Bobby have appeared on Happily Ever After and Couples Cam. Both Bobby and Danielle’s social media are filled with photos of their growing family.
AJ Vollmoeller and Stephanie Sersen (Season 8)
AJ and Stephanie had an instant connection despite some issues they had individually. It was apparent from the beginning that, though AJ had a bit of a temper, Stephanie’s calm demeanor that the two balanced each other out.
The two happily travel the world and love to scuba dive together. Stephanie has a travel blog documenting their adventures and AJ is the president of a recruiting and career services company. The two are a success story that proves MAFS works amazingly for some couples.
Kristine Killingsworth and Keith Dewar (Season 8)
Kristine and Keith are one of two couples from season 8 who stayed married after Married at First Sight. Though their relationship had a slow start, they were fan favorites as they were fun to watch and had a sweet connection.
They had a few issues to sort out, but that’s typical for all the couples from the show, but they were a pair that worked hard to sort their issues out and came out stronger than ever. Now, Kristine is a real estate agent and Keith is a dialysis biomedical technician.
Deonna McNeill and Gregory Okotie (Season 9)
Deonna and Gregory fell in love on Married at First Sight and have since become parents to their son, Declan. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the two participated in Couples Cam, letting viewers into their homes once more to see their private lives.
Deonna and Gregory are still very much in love, with Deonna posting a sweet Instagram post on their anniversary this past March captioned, “Happy Anniversary to my Hubbs. … Each day that goes by I fall more in love with you.”
Elizabeth Bice and Jamie Thompson (Season 9)
From the beginning, Elizabeth and Jamie had a rocky start. They had some intense fights that left fans thinking there was no way they could stay together, but lo and behold, they’ve stood the test of time and are still together after 3 years of marriage.
Now, Elizabeth posts hilarious reels of herself on her Instagram and often includes Jamie. Jamie typically posts photos of his cooking and photography, and of course, Elizabeth. After the pandemic hit, the two moved from San Francisco to Santa Barbara to have more space.
Jessica Studer and Austin Hurd (Season 10)
Jessica and Austin are the only couple from season 10 still married. This past November, they welcome their first son, Westin. Both Jessica and Austin are over the moon with their family, as Jessica captioned a Father’s Day post to Austin saying, “You are a true partner in this parenting journey and we are so lucky to have you.”
They both seem to be reveling in their first-time-parenthood as Jessica’s sister had a daughter only a month after Jessica. Austin’s Instagram posts of late have been almost exclusively photos of his son,
Miles Williams and Karen Landry (Season 11)
After two years of marriage and rumors about a breakup, Miles and Karen are seemingly stronger than ever. Initially, fans weren’t too fond of Karen due to the fact that she seemed disinterested in the relationship with him, but the two cleared it up on a YouTube video that it was due to a bad edit.
In December, rumors were flying around that the pair had split because they had canceled a vacation. In reality, Miles was suffering from depression and has since been vocal about his mental health journey on his Instagram, and is working to better himself and his relationship.
Amani Aliyya and Woody Randall (Season 11)
Amani and Woody were instant fan favorites due to their immediate chemistry. Much like Danielle and Bobby, viewers felt like the pair never fought because they got along so well and well, never seemed to fight. It seemed like a no-brainer that they would say yes on Decision Day.
Since leaving the show, the two have gone on to create a YouTube channel in which they document their daily lives. Early in June, Amani and Woody welcomed their first son, Reign into their lives. Amani wrote a sentimental Father’s Day post to Woody on her Instagram saying, “This is the father-son bond you deserve.”
Vincent Morales and Briana Myles (Season 12)
Vincent and Briana are the only couple from their season to survive leaving the show and the immediate months following. Though MaFS has a low success rate, the couples that stand the test of time are the true success stories.
After the show, the two have created a YouTube channel that they regularly update with lifestyle videos, food challenges, and travel vlogs. In July, the couple announced they are expecting their first child.
Katina Goode and Olajuwon Dickerson (Season 14)
Katina and Olajuwon had a rocky start due to Olajuwon’s anger and insecurity issues but are still together after a year of marriage. In a sweet message about their relationship, Katina wrote on her Instagram, “We’ve become not only lovers but the best of friends. When things got difficult for us instead of running away from the fire we held hands and walked through it together.”
Despite viewers thinking the two should break up, on the reunion special, Olajuwon assured fans that after seeing himself on the show, he was resolute in changing himself for the better for the sake of their marriage.
