If Katie Conrad had listened to her heart the week before her Married at First Sight wedding, she might not have ended up divorced, and it’s time to talk about her life after the show. Katie and Derek Sherman were matched on MAFS season 10, and although it seemed as though they might work out, their marriage went down in flames. There were accusations of cheating and lying in the relationship, which ultimately led to the couple’s demise. They called it quits in 2020.
While Katie wasn’t as outrageous as Chris Williams from MAFS season 12, she was still a wild-card pick for the experts. She had a lot of unresolved relationship issues going into the show. Her ex told her not to go through with the wedding and to get back together with him, and she considered doing so. Katie should have stepped back from the process when she felt like that. However, she was tired of her failed relationships and hoped the show would work. Unfortunately, it did not, and her marriage with Derek ended rather terribly. Derek accused Katie of cheating on him with her ex throughout their MAFS journey.
What Happened to Katie Conrad After MAFS Season 10?
Katie and Derek both walked away from their marriages and started new lives. Katie found her new man on Hinge, and they have a baby now. Brandon Eaves is an Air Force captain, and Katie started dating him before her divorce was even final. They fell in love, and Brandon decided to propose after a few months of dating. It might be hard for fans to keep up with Katie, as she has her Instagram set to private, but MAFS fans will be happy to learn that she has found a new love.
Katie Is Happier Without Derek
Things didn’t go as planned for Katie on MAFS, and many viewers jeered at her rather than cheered her on. That must have been difficult. In the end, she and Derek didn’t connect emotionally. Katie may not have been ready for such an experiment, as she still seemed to have feelings for her ex, whom she briefly dated while she and Derek were separated. However, she’s moved past both and has a happy family outside the reality TV world.
The MAFS star was once branded as immature, but she didn’t give up despite her failed attempt at love on the show. She picked herself up and found happiness in the arms of another man, which is heartwarming. While she didn’t find love on the show, perhaps her happy ending will be inspiring to current MAFS season 17 cast members whose marriages don’t go the way they planned.
