Married At First Sight season 9 had a surprising cast given that the fans expected couples like Iris Caldwell and Keith Manley to stay together and for Jamie Thompson and Elizabeth Bice to get a divorce. However, the fans were wrong. Iris and Keith were the ones who ended up divorced, and Jamie and Elizabeth are still going strong. Their longevity shocked viewers due to their toxic relationship throughout the show. Find out what Jamie has been up to.
When Elizabeth and Jamie were matched, it seemed like the experts had hit a bullseye with their marriage. But things quickly went downhill after their honeymoon, as this couple’s fights were undeniably explosive. At the reunion, the other couples noted that maybe Elizabeth and Jamie had plenty of passion but did not know how to direct it properly. It was evident they cared for each other, but they were both stubborn and hard-headed people. They managed to work through their issues and shocked fans by having a strong and stable relationship since the show.
Aside from his relationship with Elizabeth Bice, Jamie Thompson moved to Santa Barbara to pursue a job opportunity in Silicon Valley for a major technology company. He also appears on a regular basis on Couples Cam, which is a spin-off from Married At First Sight. On the side, Jamie has also been working on his and his wife’s Elizabeth YouTube channel, which is called The Beth and Jamie Show. They have both been doing well and are focused on their relationship and marriage. Despite their intense lows during the show, they appear to have worked through their issues.
Now, Jamie and Elizabeth spend their time traveling the Bay Area. This Married At First Sight couple has also been training for a marathon together. As seen in the picture included above, Jamie is always posting cute photos of Elizabeth on his Instagram, and recently shared a birthday message saying, “HBD to this beautiful human I get to call my wife!! I love you to the moon and back babe. I hope 29 is your best year yet!” The message was accompanied by an adorable photo of the two of them.
Elizabeth and Jamie were lucky that they managed to make things work while other couples in their season like Amber Bowles and Matt Gwynne opted for divorce. The Married At First Sight process is not for everyone, particularly because of the series' low success rate. Elizabeth and Jamie are perfect for each other, and their commitment to one another is an inspiration for future contestants on the show.
