Beth Bice and Jamie Thompson had their meet cute and wedding during the ninth season in 2019, which took place in Charlotte, N.C. Since winning the hearts of fans everywhere, these MAFS alums have become franchise mainstays, returning for multiple seasons to comment on the new couples.

They are still happily married and according to an exclusive interview with Nicki Swift, recently moved to Santa Barbara, Calif.

When Shawniece Jackson and Jephte Pierre first wed on the show's sixth season in Boston, they didn't get along at first. Over time, the couple was able to get past their differences and stayed together. These two are one of the longest-lasting couples in the franchise, having been together for almost six years.

In October 2018, the pair welcomed their first child together, an adorable daughter named Laura Denise Pierre.

Having gotten together on Season 5 of MAFS, Ashley Petta and Anthony D'Amico have since been busy with their growing family. One of the few well-suited couples to come from the franchise, their relationship has served as a model for couples from newer seasons.

The couple have welcomed two daughters, Mila and Vaeda.

When we met this pair on the series' eleventh season set in New Orleans, Woody and Amani were having trouble forming an emotional connection along with the physical attraction they shared. They had an immediately easy rapport compared to the other couples in their season and initial comfortability ended up translating into long-term love.

The couple welcomed their first child, Reign Randall, on June 3, 2022. In an interview with People, new dad Woody gushed, "We’re so excited. It’s all so surreal and still feels like a dream come true."

One of the longest-running couples in the history of MAFS, Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner met and wed during the first season in 2014. Jamie had previously been a contestant on Season 16 of The Bachelor and it wasn't until Married at First Sight that the reality star finally met her match.

The two have been married for eight years and endured plenty of challenges, including post-partum depression and multiple miscarriages that according to Otis “tore [her] world apart.”
