David Norton is a controversial Married at First Sight alum, and it’s time to talk about his life after the series. He was a fan-favorite during his initial stint on the reality show, but after some time passed, David became one of the least popular MAFS husbands. From his return on Married At First Sight: Second Chances to his current relationship status, this is all there is to know about David’s life after season 3.
David was introduced to the world of experimental marriages in MAFS season 3, filmed in Atlanta. When David agreed to jump into a marriage with a stranger, he was 30 and working as a software account executive. He was paired with Ashley Doherty, a nursing student who was the same age. Ashley and David had a rough marriage and never quite clicked. Leading up to a dramatic Decision Day, it was evident that things were out of balance. David had more interest in Ashley than she had in him. However, although David appeared to be the more invested of the two, Ashley accused him of cheating on her halfway through season 3.
David Was Unlikable On Married at First Sight
Unsurprisingly, Ashley wanted a divorce on Decision Day. David asked for another chance to make things work, but Ashley wasn’t interested. She appears to have dodged a bullet because a few weeks after the marriage ended, it came out that David had a violent past. According In Touch, a 2007 police report noted that David had “smashed his then-girlfriend’s cell phone while demanding to know where she’d slept the night before.”
This information changed the minds of many of David’s sympathizers. Nevertheless, David returned on Married at First Sight: Second Chances. This time, David had a smaller pool of fans, as he came off as rude and inconsiderate to the women he dated on the show. Regrettably, David’s second round on the reality show did not end in long-lasting love, and he ruined whatever favor he had with MAFS viewers.
Where Is MAFS’ David Norton Today?
Since his unpopular appearance on Second Chances, David has maintained a lower profile. In April 2020, David gave an update on Married at First Sight: Where Are They Now?. David revealed that he was dating someone but wouldn’t divulge any other details, except that he was recording his interview from “the exact same spot that I met her.” David’s location appeared to be an office building. Given that there is no indication of a relationship on his social media, the relationship seems to have ended.
David can be found on Instagram and Twitter, although he posts infrequently. His Instagram posts indicate that supporting the Buffalo Bills is a key priority, rather than another relationship after MAFS. Sadly, his sister, Carrie, unexpectedly passed away, so memorializing her publicly has also been a priority for the MAFS alum.
David has one of the most difficult-to-follow narratives of any MAFS alum. From falling in and out of the audience’s favor to scandalous police reports, David is a puzzling reality TV personality. With two chances already down the drain, it’s unlikely that David will get Married at First Sight again.
