Married at First Sight UK Couples Still Together
A Look Back at the Longest-Lasting Couples from Married at First Sight UK
Married at First Sight UK has come to an end for another year, bringing with it a mix of heartwarming moments and dramatic twists. The show, which airs on E4, follows couples who meet for the first time on their wedding day after being set up by relationship experts. Over the years, the series has produced some unforgettable stories, from passionate love connections to heartbreaking breakups.
The show's unique format involves strangers being matched based on compatibility assessments, followed by a series of challenges and therapy sessions to help them navigate their new life together. While many couples have found happiness, others have not made it past the initial stages. However, there are several couples who have managed to make their marriages work, proving that love can indeed be found in the most unexpected places.
Couples Who Found Their Happily Ever After
Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor (Series 8)
Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor’s journey on Married at First Sight UK is one of the most intriguing. Although they met on the show, both were initially married to other people. Shona was matched with Brad Skelly, but their relationship was deemed toxic, leading to her removal from the process. Meanwhile, Matt joined the show later with Adrienne Naylor. By the time of the reunion dinner party, both relationships had ended, paving the way for Shona and Matt to form a connection.
Their relationship has only grown stronger over time, with Shona expressing that “when you know, you know, and it just works.” The couple has since shared their plans to get married and start a family.
Jenna Robinson and Zoe Clifton (Series 7)
Jenna Robinson and Zoe Clifton made history as the first lesbian couple on Married at First Sight UK. Their journey was not without its challenges, particularly around Zoe’s struggle to adjust to Jenna’s vegan lifestyle. However, they managed to overcome these obstacles and became the only couple to survive their series.
Despite their smooth transition into real-world life, the couple decided to remove their wedding bands, choosing to date normally instead of jumping into marriage immediately. They eventually rekindled their commitment, with Zoe proposing to Jenna in June. The couple plans to tie the knot for real in 2026.
Tayah and Adam Aveling (Series 6)
Tayah and Adam Aveling have been inseparable since meeting on the 2021 series of Married at First Sight. Their love story took off quickly, with Adam declaring Tayah his “first and last love” after just one week in the experiment.
Adam proposed to Tayah during the final vow renewal of the show. Their legal wedding was delayed due to the birth of their daughter, Beau Emily Avelin, in October 2022. However, they finally made it official in December 2022. The couple welcomed their second child in April 2025, further solidifying their bond.
Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins (Series 5)
Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins met on the 2020 series of Married at First Sight UK and have remained together for five years. The couple shares a joint Instagram account where they post updates about their adventures, including holidays and theatre trips.
Owen revealed that their journey began with a few pints at the pub, where he saw an advert for the show. He jokingly suggested signing up, and a few beers later, he submitted his application. Michelle, on the other hand, applied after growing tired of dating apps. In July 2025, the couple announced they were expecting their first child.
