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 29 couples made the decision to stay together after their series came to an end and are still together today, in November 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.

29. Carmen Stimpson and Jimmy Hardy - MAFS NZ
Carmen Stimpson and Jimmy Hardy had a less picture perfect experience in season three of MAFS NZ in 2019 - but they remain in a relationship in the real world. The couple caused a stir among their fellow castmates and viewers alike when Hardy was accused of using derogatory slurs whilst filming. However, Stimpson stood by her husband. Back in May 2024, they announced they were taking a big step in their relationship as they are expecting a baby. Their daughter will have been born now, but both of their Instagram pages are private and they have not publicly revealed news of the birth of their child. Photo by E4. | E4 Photo: E4
