Erik Lake was pleasantly surprised when he first saw his wife, Virginia Coombs, on Married At First Sight. The reality TV couple clicked almost instantly and they have been moving from strength to strength ever since. Despite their age and lifestyle differences, especially with Virginia’s drinking, viewers are certain these two will make it work. Now, fans are wondering about Erik's financial situation, considering his pride and excitement over his career as a pilot.
During their honeymoon, Erik was worried about Virginia’s drinking and her friendships with her male pals. He was not sure if she was ready to truly be married. However, after a conversation with her friends, Erik admitted he feels more confident in their relationship. Erik and Virginia are incredibly compatible and have already consummated their marriage. Even though fans can't help but feel the experts aren't picking good matches, Erik and Virginia seem to be an exception to their continued failures.
Erik was a previous divorcee and struggled to find someone to settle down with. But while he didn't have a relationship, he focused on his career. According to Stars Offline, his efforts in the workplace paid off. Over the years, he built an impressive net worth amounting to an estimated $800,00. Erik has been able to create this wealth through his job as a pilot. The 34-year-old, who works for a major airline, earns a reported $187,000 per year. He also gets a bonus between $1,000 and $48,000 each year.
Although Erik was excited when first matched with Virginia, he was slightly worried. While he is conservative, Virginia is a free spirit. But with communication and love, these two continue to work out their issues. But while Erik's net worth is rather high, Virginia's is much smaller. As opposed to Erik's $187,000 per year, Virginia only makes around $27,000 per year. This is just another in a list of notable differences between Erik and Virginia. However, their relationship still seems capable of making it over any hurdle.
It's obvious Virginia and Erik are crazy about each other. Attraction and chemistry are both present in their relationship. But what is most important for Married At First Sight couples is the willingness to make their marriage work, which Virginia and Erik both possess. They have pure intentions and respect the process, unlike some other couples who joined the show. Because of that, Virginia and Erik will more than likely stay together on decision day.
Married At First Sight airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on Lifetime.
