Fans rooted for Lillian Vilchez during her Married At First Sight season 4 journey and here's everything the star's followers need to know about Lillian's life after reality television. Throughout her season, Lillian's marriage was embraced by fans even though it wasn't a perfect match. From her relationship status after Married At First Sight's dramatic Decision Day all the way to her experience with the COVID-19 pandemic, here's what Lillian has been up to since her days on reality TV.
Lillian's Married At First Sight season premiered on July 26, 2016, and it focused on couples living in Miami. When Lillian was first featured on the reality dating show over 5 years ago, she was 24 years old and working as a realtor. The relationship experts paired Lillian with Tom Wilson, who was a 29-year-old interior designer at the time.
Lillian and Tom garnered fan affection due to their chemistry. Over the course of the season, Lillian and Tom formed a deep love for one another and viewers wanted to see their marriage last outside of the Lifetime show. Although Lillian and Tom had a strong connection, they were not the most compatible Married At First Sight match.
Lillian On Married At First Sight
Lillian desired a traditional future in which she was settled down with a husband and kids. Tom lived on a bus and enjoyed following his free spirit wherever it led him. Despite their very different personalities, Lillian and Tom both agreed that their love was worth fighting for. On Decision Day, Lillian and Tom chose to stay married. The fan-favorite couple returned for the Married At First Sight season 4 reunion in the fall of 2016. Lillian admitted that their different lifestyles made their marriage difficult, but they were still together and in love. Lillian, Tom, and the relationship experts agreed that the couple's differences actually made them a great match. Not long after the reunion, however, Lillian and Tom confirmed that their marriage was ending.
Lillian After Tom
On May 31, 2017, Lillian and Tom became another couple that got divorced after Married At First Sight. Lillian shared a post on her Instagram that revealed she and Tom had filed for divorce, although they "are best friends." After their divorce, Tom went on to find a partner that enjoyed a spontaneous lifestyle. Lillian hasn't had the same luck following her breakup. In April 2020, Lillian appeared on Married At First Sight: Where Are They Now? to update fans on her romantic life. Lillian shared that her only love interest at that moment was her cat, Mr. Zeus. Lillian also shared an update on her career during her return to reality TV. The alum explained that she has been living in Charlotte, North Carolina, and works as the business manager of the apartment complex she lives in.
Lillian's Influence Grows
Since April 2020, she has kept fans up to date on her life. She posts updates via her Married At First Sight Instagram. According to her Instagram, where Lillian has 58,900 followers, the reality personality works in investment sales and acquisitions on top of continuing her career as a real estate broker. In addition to sharing pictures of her puppy companion, Lillian has utilized her social media platform to spread awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lillian shared that she contracted the virus in 2020. She helped her followers understand what her experience was like. Additionally, Lillian gave pointers on how her fans can protect themselves and others from getting sick with the coronavirus. Lillian has since recovered from the virus but has continued to help her followers through the stressful pandemic.
Lillian didn't get the happy ending fans had hoped she would, but she has found her own way since season 4. Although she and Tom didn't stay together after Married At First Sight, Lillian has her career, pet, and fanbase to keep her busy. Hopefully, Lillian will learn from her journey on Married At First Sight and seek out partners who aren't so bus-oriented (and boat-oriented) in the future.
