The hit dating show sees singles agree to be matched by relationship experts - and then marry moments after meeting on their wedding day. They then embark on the MAFS experiment, where they move in together and complete tasks set for them by the experts designed to both strengthen and test their union.
Every week, they meet the experts at a commitment ceremony, where they discuss what’s been happening with them during the week - and decide if they want to progress to the next week. Those who make it to the end of the experiment enter in to Final Vows, where they have an intimate second ceremony which mirrors their wedding and decide whether or not they will stay together in the outside world.
A total of 28 couples made the decision to stay together after their series came to an end and are still together today, in May 2025. MAFS began, in it’s various locations, 11 years ago and so some couples have now been together for more than a decade. Others have been paired in more recent seasons, so they have only been together for a few months - but in all cases love is blossoming.
Not all of the couples met in the traditional MAFS sense, however. Some were paired by the experts on the show, but some found the one they were meant to be with outside of their pairing and with a co-star instead. There’s even one groom who found love with one of the experts.
Many are now married in real life - although not all had legally binding marriages on the show - and some have even welcomed babies.

Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson have been together ever since meeting at the altar during Married at First Sight UK season 7 in 2022.

However, they did also say they'd like to marry one day on their MAFS wedding date. The pair announced they were engaged for real in June 2024. Photos by Channel 4. Photo: Channel 4
4. Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor - MAFS UK
Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor met at a reunion for series 8 of Married at First Sight UK. They were actually each paired with other people by the experts during the experiment, but those relationships ultimately didn't work out. Due to the timing of their entrances into the show, they didn't actually meet while the process was on-going. They met once the experiment had finished, at a reunion party for all the cast members, in June 2023. They have been dating ever since and are said to want to get married and start a family.
