With the decision day of Married At First Sight season 14 having just passed, the next question to ask is exactly how long these couples will last without a camera crew following their every move. Four out of five prospective lovers agreed to continue their union, a pretty high success rate compared to past seasons.
Of the over fifty couples to appear on the successful show over the past decade, less than half have gone on to have long-term marriages, and even fewer have had kids together. With the four couples together from the latest season, fans have speculated on which they think are the strongest and have the highest probability of starting a family together. Going off of history, it won't be too many of them, though.
Jamie Otis-Hehner And Doug Hehner (Season 1)
Jamie and Doug have been essential to the show's long, sustained success. Season 1 lovebirds showed that the unorthodox concept of the show could work, as the two showed great chemistry with one another on the show, and have remained together for eight years now since it concluded. The two even have two children together.
Jamie oftentimes shares photos of her little ones to her nearly one million followers on Instagram, most recently posting a video celebrating the second birthday of her son, Hendrix. They also have a daughter, Henley Grace, who was born in 2017. The two's love was real in season 1, with their family together proving that. They were the first great success of the show.
Ashley Petta And Anthony D'Amico (Season 5)
The next couple to have kids together would appear four seasons later, with happily married couple Ashley Petta and Anthony D'Amico having two together. These two make up one of the best and most popular couples to appear on the series, appearing in both season 5 and the show's special Happily Ever After?
Their two kids are named Mila and Vaeda, with their births happening in early 2019 and early 2021, respectively. Ashley proudly displays her kids' names in her Instagram bio, as she also shares photos of them on her account. The family has appeared on the Married At First Sight spinoff series, Couples Cam, vlogging a day in their life of them as parents.
Shawniece Jackson And Jephte Pierre (Season 6)
Shawniece and Jephte were one of the best representations of love in show history, as it wasn't easy for them. They had their fair share of disagreements on season 6, but they always were able to compromise and grow together, leading to them agreeing to stay together on decision day. The two then wasted no time in starting their family together, with their first child being born not too long after the finale.
The two welcomed their daughter, Laura Denise Pierre, into the world on Happily Ever After? becoming the first couple in the show's history to have such an event on camera. Shawniece, who is a fashion expert, shares cute photos of her and her daughter in beautiful outfits on her Instagram.
Danielle Bergman-Dodd And Bobby Dodd (Season 7)
While many believe that drama and a messy season make for the best seasons of Married At First Sight, Danielle and Bobby made season 7 memorable by being a seemingly perfect match. The two were rarely dramatic or argumentative, being on the same page about most things, or being understanding towards the other if they had a different perspective. Even with their clear chemistry, the two surprised viewers with the announcement that they were expecting a child on reunion day.
How quickly their marriage grew to become parents had viewers shocked, but also had them excited. Olivia Nicole was born in early 2019, before they had their first son, Bobby Dodd IV, in winter 2020. Danielle is a very proud mom, as her Instagram is filled with cute photos of her little ones.
Deonna McNeill And Gregory Okotie (Season 9)
Deonna and Gregory had the early days of their new life together during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the two getting married in the second half of 2019. This led them to decide to officially start their family together, with their first son, Declan, being born in February of 2021.
To keep her fans updated, her Instagram is also full of photos of her and her son, including one photo of her, Gregory, and Declan enjoying a night together at a Columbia Firefly's minor league baseball game. The two were great to watch on the show, so it is much to the delight of fans that they have continued their love behind the camera.
Jessica Studer And Austin Herd (Season 10)
Austin and Jessica were another example of a seemingly perfect match, as despite the two sometimes having different lifestyles or opinions, they always were able to make it work and continue to have good times together. They are one of the most beloved couples to fans of the show, officially having a kid together in the final months of 2021.
Their son, Westin Paul, kicked off their family, as both discussed wanting kids at points on the show. Jessica was able to spend her first Mother's day as a mom with Westin recently, capturing the day together in the photo and sharing it with her two hundred thousand followers on Instagram.
Expecting: Woody Randall and Amani Aliyya (Season 11)
While Woody and Amani aren't technically parents just yet, they are expecting to change that this year. The two-season 11 lovers announced to People Magazine in February of 2022 that the two are expecting to have a child later this year. Amani said she was six months pregnant in February, meaning the baby is expected sometime around the early parts of the summer.
Not much else is known, as they did not mention the sex or any possible names for their upcoming baby. The expecting mother has been chronicling her journey to motherhood on her Instagram though, meaning that is the place she will most likely announce when the baby is officially born.
