Which MAFS Couples Are Still Together From The Entire Series?

Here’s a fun fact about Married At First Sight: out of all the MAFS couples (not including “wife swaps” or people who got together after filming), only four remain together.

FOUR. FOUR couples over 10 seasons.

The total was five until Season 10 favourites Ollie Skelton and Tahnee Cook split up in late December. It was a sad day for the Ollnee stans.

I also want to note that it has been widely reported that MAFS Season Two’s Erin Bateman and Bryce Mohr are still together, however, the last confirmation of that was in 2020, when Erin posted on Instagram about their new home together.

That was four years ago, and PEDESTRIAN was not able to get confirmation from the pair after reaching out. That being said, lasting for years outside of the experiment is success in my eyes! And they could very well still be together, but they might not be too!

Also, even if we did include wife swaps, like Jessika Power and Dan Webb — who have unfortunately split — and people who got together later, like Duncan James and Evelyn Ellis, that total is still only five. 

I’m no statistician, but I’m starting to think that our experts John Aiken, Mel Schilling, Alessandra Rampolla, and former experts Sabina Read and Trisha Stratford – might not have had matchmaking front of mind. 

Still, I guess we can celebrate the MAFS couples who have somehow managed to survive in the real world.

Ahead of our MAFS 2024 results, let’s delve into them, shall we?

MAFS COUPLE #1: Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant, MAFS Season 6

Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant on Married At First Sight

Season six stars Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant are the poster couple for the Married At First Sight franchise. Cam proposed at the end of the 2019 season during the final vows, before they got married FOR REAL in November 2019, with the ceremony airing on A Current Affair. Their MAFS baby, little Oliver, was born a few years back.

“I feel a lot of people were really invested in our relationship,” Jules told Stellar in early 2020. “People still message me to this day and say we gave them hope that they will find their ‘one’. That’s so heartwarming and is why, obviously, we did our wedding on TV.”

Cam and Jules are rumoured to be so famous and busy with bubba, they couldn’t make the MAFS reunion (they apparently wanted $50K), and TBH, we’re happy for them. Know your worth. Post your happy couple pics to the ‘gram.

The couple still look deeply loved up — we love to see it.

MAFS COUPLE #2: Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli, MAFS Season 6

Martha Kalifatidis
and Michael Brunelli, also from season six, are happily coupled up too, having announced their engagement in 2021. They also announced Martha’s pregnancy in September 2022.

Martha once told Now To Love that people are drawn to their authenticity as a couple. “It’s not different from what is going on in everyone else’s apartments. We fight about the same dumb things that other couples fight about. We’re not special.”

While they did share text messages that seemed to hint at a breakup, it was quickly revealed it was just a stunt to promote their endorsement deal with telco Circles Life Australia. Then, when Martha was announced for Celebrity Apprentice and copped the scorn of trolls online, Michael jumped to her defence, calling them bullies and the “the saddest, lowest form of humans in Australia”.

Sadly, during the early weeks of Martha’s pregnancy, she suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) which is basically extremely severe morning sickness. Thankfully, the pair welcomed an adorable bébé boy, Lucius Brunelli, in February 2023.

MAFS COUPLE #3: Bryce Ruthven and Melissa Rawson, MAFS Season 8

MAFS COUPLES

Ah, Bryce Ruthven and Melissa Rawson. The MAFS couple that everyone loves to hate.

Well, love ’em or hate ’em, they’re still going strong, so it looks like the MAFS experiment worked there!

The pair are engaged and also welcomed two twin bubbas. Melissa kept her followers up to date with her wedding prep, even posting a cheeky wedding dress try-on vid in November 2022.

The pair officially tied the knot in February 2023.

MAFS COUPLE #4: Kerry Knight and Johnny Balbuziente, MAFS Season 8

Another success story from MAFS season eight, Kerry Knight and Johnny Balbuziente are still loved-up and enjoying each other’s company, as you will have seen from their cute Insta snaps. In July 2022, the couple revealed they are engaged and they officially got married — not MAFS married, actually married married — in January 2023.

Bless!

That Christmas, in 2023, Kerry discovered she was preggers after months of trying. They announced the pregnancy on Instagram in January 2024.

“Thrilled to be adding a much wanted and already so-loved member to our family,” Kerry and Johnny wrote in a collaborated post.

“Our journey took a bit longer than we’d hoped for but not as long as others. Thinking of everyone still on their path.”

They also shared that the baby’s due date is in June. So exciting! And proof that MAFS intruders can be as successful as, if not more than, OG MAFS couples.

Will we see any MAFS 2024 couples join this list? Here’s hoping!
