Johnny Lam had a controversial experience in Married At First Sight season 13, but since his heartbreaking rejection on Decision Day, the former husband has steered clear of drama. Johnny’s contentious relationship with Bao Hoang made the IT project manager one of the least popular cast members from that season, but Johnny hasn’t succumbed to everyone’s perception of him. From spending quality time with his Married At First Sight castmates to rumors of embarking on a new romance, Johnny has been busy since MAFS season 13.
Married At First Sight’s Johnny and Bao’s marriage was the most discussed union of that season because the pair’s brief time together was full of ups and downs. The main facet of Johnny and Bao’s relationship that set them apart from the rest of the husbands and wives from MAFS is Johnny and Bao’s history. Although MAFS’s concept relies on two strangers jumping head-first into a marriage, Johnny and Bao knew each other before their wedding day. The pair had interacted during their college years, but their familiarity proved to be a weakness. Johnny was criticized for being overly critical of Bao, which he paid the price for.

During the weeks of their marriage, Johnny, who said nasty things about Bao, appeared to be disinterested and even annoyed by her. From confessing he wished he was matched with anyone other than Bao to mocking his ex-wife’s insecurities, Johnny came off as one of MAFS’s greatest antagonists. Surprisingly, Johnny hoped he could keep working on his relationship with Bao after MAFS season 13 wrapped. On a dramatic Decision Day, Johnny was shut down when Bao didn’t reciprocate Johnny’s desire to stay married. Fortunately, Johnny’s fellow cast members had his back in the weeks following his MAFS rejection. While Bao started spending more time with her family, Johnny found comfort in the friendships he formed on the show. On Instagram, Johnny shared trips to the movies with his fellow alum Michaela and bingo nights with Rachel.

While Johnny continued his MAFS friendships, rumors flew that he was venturing on a romantic journey with another one of his MAFS season 13 cast members, Myrla. Like Johnny and Bao, Myrla and her match, Gil, didn’t get along throughout their time on the show. Myrla and Gil opted to stay together on Decision Day but swiftly got divorced after and went their separate ways. Johnny and Myrla shut down the rumors and ultimately stayed friends as Johnny found love again with Kayla Fischer, who has been appearing in his photos since September 2022. The couple has remained somewhat private, but it appears from their photos that the pair is happy.
Johnny’s expedition in MAFS left him wifeless and unpopular. Fortunately, Johnny’s been enjoying the silver linings of his mostly fruitless experimental marriage journey. From forging friendships with Michaela, Rachel, and Myrla to finding new love outside of TV, Johnny’s been finding happiness since Married At First Sight season 13’s compelling conclusion.
