Married at First Sight these days seems more like a circus than it has in the past. It used to be, the experts would cast people that were genuinely looking to find their life partners. But, many MAFS fans agree that recent cast members see the show as a springboard to social media fame. With all of that in mind, here’s a look back at some of the most successful couples in franchise history.
Married at First Sight: Most Successful Couples in Show History
Jamie Otis & Doug Hehner (Season 1: New York)
You can’t mention successful Married at First Sight couples without mentioning the OG’s, Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner. While they have certainly had their struggles over the years, there’s no denying that they paved the way for all the couples that have appeared on the show since.
And, deserving of even more credit, Jamie and Doug took the risk and married as strangers back when there was no proof that this marriage experiment could actually work. They quite literally made a path where there wasn’t one. And for that, they certainly deserve all the kudos.
Meanwhile, through miscarriages, mental health issues, relationship turmoil, and more, Doug and Jamie have managed to stay together. And in addition to a loving relationship, they have two beautiful children and a happy marriage to be proud of all these years later.
More OG MAFS Couples Make the Cut
Jephte Pierre & Shawniece Jackson (Season 6: Boston)
Another OG married couple on this list is Jephte Pierre and Shawniece Jackson. And, in terms of relationship growth, they have come the farthest out of just about anyone that has ever been featured on the show.
At one point, Shawniece Jackson and Jephte Pierre were separated – all while Shawniece was pregnant with their child. And, there was more than one instance where this marriage seemed to be on its last leg.
In addition, even after Jephte and Shawniece agreed to work on their marriage, Jephte wasn’t sure that he was “in love” with his wife. And he worried that he only loved her as the mother of his child.
But, through it all, these two Married at First Sight lovebirds are still going strong. And their daughter, Laura, continues to thrive at almost five years old.
Bobby Dodd & Danielle Bergman (Season 7: Dallas)
Married at First Sight Season 7 in Dallas gave viewers Bobby Dodd and Danielle Bergman. And at times, these two seemed like oil and water as a pair. Indeed, some fans blasted Bobby for being too passive and handing over the reins completely to his wife.
But, through all of the public criticism of Danielle and her being too controlling, Bobby stood by his wife the whole way through. And these days, they have a lasting marriage and thriving family to show for it.
In fact, based on the most recent updates from Danielle Bergman and Bobby Dodd, the Married at First Sight couple recently revealed that they are expecting their third child. Suffice it to say; they have every other couple beat when it comes to the baby-making.
Married at First Sight: New Blood Steals the Show
Vincent Morales & Briana Myles (Season 12: Atlanta)
With as long as Married at First Sight has been on the air, it’s only fair that some newer couples get the recognition they deserve for going through the process with the right intentions and being committed to making their marriages work.
And, fitting that criterion is none other than Vincent Morales and Briana Myles from Season 12 in Atlanta. Right out of the gate, it was clear that there was chemistry between these two. But, they also had things to work on if they wanted to make their relationship last.
Meanwhile, in addition to having a successful marriage, the happy couple also welcomed their first child in January 2023 – a baby girl named Aury Bella.
Woody Randall & Amani Randall (Season 11: New Orleans)
It’s impossible to mention the top Married at First Sight couples without giving the crown to Woody Randall and Amani Randall. And, even though they didn’t join the MAFS family officially until Season 11 in New Orleans, there’s no denying that these two are the face of the franchise now.
Woody and Amani have cultivated the initial chemistry they had and turned it into one of the strongest marriages ever on the show. And, whether it’s cruising around NOLA in their coordinated, eye-catching outfits or dialing it down as mom and dad to baby boy Reign Randall (who they welcomed in June 2022), these two are relationship goals for so many Married at First Sight fans.
And, when so many people aspire to have a love like Woody and Amani, you know you’re doing something right.
