Summary

• Sonia and Nick's marriage on Married At First Sight was turbulent and ultimately ended in divorce after a year. Despite their split, Sonia remained optimistic and called their relationship a "love story."
• After their divorce, Nick announced that he was expecting twins with his new girlfriend, which upset Sonia. However, when Nick later suffered a near-fatal accident, Sonia reached out to express her sympathy and support.
• Since the show, Sonia has pursued new career endeavors, including starting a podcast called Sonia Granados and a philanthropic Instagram account. She also enjoys the single life and often shares pictures of her fun adventures with friends and family.

Sonia Granados had a trying experience on Married At First Sight season 4, but her journey after the reality show wrapped has been even more dramatic. Sonia was matched with Nick Pendergrast on MAFS, and their relationship has been full of ups and downs since then. From the demise of her marriage with Nick to her new business ventures, here's everything to know about what Sonia's been up to since MAFS season 4.

Sonia's foray into reality TV began when MAFS season 4 premiered on July 26, 2016. When Sonia filmed the show, she was 33 years old and working as a social worker. The relationship experts on the show matched Sonia with Nick, a 32-year-old vacation rental manager. During their marriage, Sonia and Nick appeared to have mild chemistry and a turbulent relationship dynamic. As MAFS season 17 continues to unfold, it's time to revisit Sonia's life after the show.

Sonia and Nick Fell Apart After MAFS

In one particularly tense disagreement on MAFS, Nick shared that he wasn't attracted to Sonia, prompting the social worker to leave their home. Their disastrous Married At First Sight marriage was assumed to be good as dead after Sonia's dramatic storm-out. But come Decision Day, Sonia and Nick chose to stick it out to see if their relationship could work outside a reality TV environment.

Regrettably, Sonia and Nick's relationship did not thrive after Married At First Sight. After about a year of marriage, the television personalities announced their divorce on March 22, 2017. Even though the couple's split disappointed some fans, Sonia was optimistic about the end of her marriage.

In a tweet announcing her split, Sonia wrote that fans shouldn't "be discouraged" as their relationship was "still a love story." Soon after the announcement of the Married At First Sight stars' divorce, Sonia and Nick's story took a shocking turn. In July 2017, Nick announced that he was expecting twins with his new girlfriend, Heather Yerrid. Understandably, Sonia did not take the news well, and she took to Twitter to share her frustration. Sonia implied that Nick was talking to Heather before they split. Sonia tweeted, "I have a right to be irate."

Sonia Reacted To Nick's Tragic Accident

Like their marriage, Sonia and Nick's bad blood didn't last too long. In 2019, Nick suffered from an almost fatal accident at work that left him partially paralyzed. In an Instagram post, Nick revealed that the doctors in the emergency room weren't sure if he would "make it through the night." In the comments section, Sonia expressed her sympathy for Nick's situation. She wrote, "Please know that I have been praying for you and your babies for months... I am always here for you." By reaching out to Nick, Sonia proved that she has effectively moved on from her rocky reality television marriage.

Sonia Has A New Career Post-MAFS

On top of mending her relationship with her ex-husband, Sonia has dedicated her time after reality television to new career pursuits. One venture Sonia started after Married At First Sight is her podcast. Since June 2017, Sonia has released episodes of her podcast, Sonia Granados, which is all about "connecting."

In addition, she founded @the_broke_philanthropist on Instagram, where Sonia frequently shares inspiring words of wisdom. On her personal Instagram, Sonia demonstrates that she's not all work and no play. Unlike Nick, who had children since MAFS, Sonia loves the single life and regularly shares pictures where she's featured having fun with friends and family on her account with her 77,500 followers.

Sonia had a harrowing experience during and after MAFS season 4. Fortunately, she has come a long way from arguing with Nick and has moved on from their past drama. In the end, Sonia continues to be a beacon of hope for the stars that get the short end of the stick after Married At First Sight.

Married At First Sight season 17 airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
