Married at First Sight: Which couples from every season are still together?

The sixteenth season of Married at First Sight is perhaps its most dramatic one yet. The popular reality TV series, which airs on Lifetime in the US, premiered on 4 January in a brand new city: Nashville, Tennessee.

Married at First Sight first debuted on FYI in 2014. The series is based on the Danish TV show, Gift Ved Første Blik. Much like seasons past, Married at First Sight season 16 follows 10 singles as they marry complete strangers, and embark on their marital journey over the course of eight weeks. Throughout the season, fans follow the five newlywed couples as they say “I do”, share their first kiss, travel to their honeymoon, and move in together as husband and wife.

The couples are joined by relationship experts who provide the couples with professional advice and examine their compatibility. Series regulars Calvin Roberson, a pastor and marriage counsellor, and sociologist Dr Pepper Schwartz are joined by sex therapist Dr Pia Holec and New York Times bestselling author, DeVon Franklin in season 16.

At the end of the social experiment, the five couples are faced with the decision to stay married or get a divorce.

In season 16, the five couples to say “I do” are Airris and Jasmine, Christopher and Nicole, Clint and Gina, Mack and Domynique, and Shaquille and Kirsten. However, this season comes with a twist, as one groom decided to make a move on another man’s wife.

The series is produced by Kinetic Content and Chris Coelen, aka the mastermind behind Love is Blind and The Ultimatum. In fact, the show has become so popular that it’s led to several spin-offs, including Married at First Sight: The First Year, Married at First Sight: Second Chances, Married at First Sight: Honeymoon Island, Married at First Sight: Happily Ever After and Married at First Sight: Couples Cam.

Over the course of 16 seasons, Married at First Sight has matched a total of 64 couples but only 12 are still together today. From season one to 16, these are the Married at First Sight couples still happily in love.
