Couples That Are Still Together In 2022 | Married At First Sight
With season 14 of Mary At First Sight in full swing, viewers are asking if former featured couples are still together. Here is a list of who is still married in 2022.
With Married At Fight Sight season 14 halfway through, fans are itching to see which of their favorite couples are still together. Based on the Danish series Gift Ved Første Blik ("Married At First Sight"), the American version has held high ratings since season 1's debut in 2014. Paired up by expert matchmakers, individuals who apply for MAFS get married to their chosen partner upon meeting. After spending the night together, cameras follow the seasons' newlyweds as they get to know each other — and adjust to being partners. On what is called "Decision Day," each couple decides whether they want to stay married or get divorced.
MAFS may be entertaining, but the show doesn't boast a high success rate; out of the 49 couples matched between seasons 1 and 13, only half of them made it past Decision Day.
Some couples, like Heather Seidel and Derek Schwartz from season 4, choose to split before Decision Day. Others like season 10's Taylor Dunklin and Brandon Reid have actually had their union annulled.
While most MAFS matches don't last, the show's success has spawned several spin-offs, such as Married at First Sight: The First Year, Married at First Sight: Happily Ever After, and Married at First Sight: Couples' Cam.
While viewers are quick to pick out their favorite and least favorite couples, it's hard to predict which duos will stand the test of time and which ones will throw in the towel. MAFS season 14, which began airing in early January, has been one of the most dramatic yet.
Set in Boston, the five couples — Lindsey & Mark, Noi & Steve, Katina & Olajuwon, Jasmina & Michael, and Alyssa & Chris — have been some of the least positively received matches by fans. With Decision Day just weeks away, speculation as to who remains married continues to grow by the day.
With a total of zero couples still married for MAFS season 13, only 12 couples across the series are still together as of March 2022. Here are seven duos that are still Mr. and Mrs.
1. Jamie Otis & Doug Hehner (Season 1)
Before meeting Doug, Jamie was a contestant on The Bachelor season 16 and was eliminated by Ben Flajnik during week 6, which the experts of MAFS season 1 were initially skeptical of. In the end, viewers considered Jamie and Doug not just a good match but fan favorites. . The couple were officially married in March 2014 and have dedicated their lives to their growing family since. Jamie and Doug have two children: Henley, four, and Hendrix, who is almost two. Both are active on Instagram, especially Jamie, who continuously updates fans about their life. On March 16, Jamie revealed that the family is looking to find a "forever home" in Sarasota, Florida; they are also planning to travel across the United States starting April 1.
2. Karen Landry & Miles Williams (Season 11)
Karen and Miles were an unexpected match on MAFS, and many believed that they wouldn't make it past Decision Day. The two lacked intimacy, particularly from Karen, but Miles later admitted that he almost said "no" at the time. However, he ultimately changed his mind. While fans were convinced that Karen and Miles parted ways after staying relatively silent throughout 2021, this couple is indeed still married. Recent individual photos of Miles and Karen on Instagram show the pair still wearing their wedding rings. In February 2022, Karen also posted a clip of the two discussing dependency in marriage on Black Love, a documentary series hosted on OWN.
3. Ashley Petta & Anthony Damico (Season 5)
Ashley and Anthony felt an instant connection when they met — and married — in August 2016.
The couple easily decided to remain married on Decision Day, and things have been smooth sailing for them since. Like Jamie and Doug, Ashley and Anthony have two children: Mila, three, and Vaeda, who was born in February 2021. Besides appearing on Married At First Sight: Happily Ever After, Ashley frequently posts pictures and videos of her husband and children. Last month, the 34-year-old uploaded an Instagram reel of their relationship, saying, "Our marriage hasn't always been easy and it's definitely not perfect, but our little family is everything I've always dreamed of and I wouldn't change a thing."
4. Danielle Bergman & Bobby Dodd (Season 7)
Out of the 50-or-so couples matched on MAFS, Danielle and Bobby are considered one of the most compatible by fans.
Unlike most of the other duos, these two were never captured arguing leading up to Decision Day. Viewers especially applauded Bobby's easygoing attitude after Danielle revealed she was $15,000 in credit card debt. Married in 2018, the Dodds are still happily together with two children: Olivia, three, and Bobby IV, born in December 2020. Danielle and Bobby are both active on social media, with the family recently celebrating Bobby's birthday on February 26.
5. Amani Aliyya & Woody Randall (Season 11)
Viewers had more faith in their relationship than Karen and Miles — interestingly, Woody and Miles are actually friends who applied on the show together. With natural chemistry established at the altar, these two easily said yes on Decision Day after being forced to quarantine together halfway through filming due to COVID-19. On February 15, which marked their two-year anniversary, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child in June. In the meantime, Amani has continued updating fans on their lives, recently reporting that the expecting parents are house hunting.
6 . Kristine Killingsworth & Keith Dewar (Season 8)
Kristine and Keith were fan favorites of MAFS season 8, and viewers were impressed to see the two overcome initial doubts and obstacles to enjoy marriage beyond Decision Day.
Kristine was seen worrying if Keith was mature enough to handle the level of commitment she wanted, although Keith's father failing to meet Kristine ended up bringing the couple closer together. Since saying "I do" in 2019, Kristine and Keith have been busy working on several endeavors together, such as exploring their relationship on MAFS: Couples Cam. Celebrating their third anniversary last November, the duo recently co-wrote an article for People detailing the couples of MAFS season 14.
7. Elizabeth Bice & Jamie Thompson (Season 9)
As one of two couples still together from MAFS season 9 — the other being Deonna McNeill and Gregory Okotie — Elizabeth and Jamie are known for being another unexpected match. While the duo felt a connection after meeting in North Carolina, their intense fights on the show surprised viewers, with many believing they would walk away on Decision Day.
Despite their drama, Elizabeth and Jamie remained committed to each other and their marriage. After the show, the couple moved to Santa Barbara, California, and caught COVID-19 in August 2020. However, they later revealed that the pandemic actually brought them closer together. Nowadays, Elizabeth and Jamie continue to update MAFS fans on their life on social media, with the couple recently enjoying a vacation in Costa Rica.
