The new season of Married At First Sight comes with 10 new hopeless romantics, including newlyweds Myrla and Gil. The Married At First Sight season 13 premiere on July 21 gave fans their first glimpse at the new bunch of spouses sure to keep audiences entertained until Decision Day. From their backgrounds to what they're looking for in a significant other, here's all there is to know about Myrla and Gil.
Over the course of Married At First Sight's first dozen seasons, fans have observed some of the most well-matched, as well as many of the most toxic, marriages on reality television. The Lifetime series' relationship experts have proven to be an unreliable bunch that some fans accuse of prioritizing television ratings over true love. Due to the low success rate of marriages in recent seasons, audiences have been more vocal about their disappointment in the matchmakers' ability to tie the knot between two compatible partners. Because fans lost faith in experts after Married At First Sight season 12, the contestants on season 13 have much to prove. One of these pairings that could make or break audiences' trust in the dating show's process is Myrla and Gil.
Myrla is a 34-year-old originally from Southern Texas. She is a leadership coach who regularly works with children. Myrla's hobbies include traveling and enjoying the finer things in life. According to Married At First Sight's Instagram, Myrla is looking for someone who is "ambitious, caring, confident, faithful, and loving." Although Myrla's list of desired traits will be tough to find in one man, the newlywed is trusting of the reality show's process. As a leadership coach, Myrla has faith in other life experts to find her the perfect stranger to marry on Married at First Sight. Myrla received the nickname "Picture Perfect Princess" because of her high standards. Additionally, Myrla is known for her affinity for fashion and photoshoots. Hopefully, Gil knows how to work a camera in addition to possessing all of Myrla's must-have qualities.
Unlike most of Married At First Sight's season 13 husbands and wives, Gil is not a native Texan. Gil was born and raised in Colombia. Although Gil moved to the United States in pursuit of the American Dream, he is proud of his Colombian roots. Gil's culture is important to him, and one reason why the relationship experts think Myrla is a good fit is their shared Latinx background. Gil is a 35-year-old firefighter who loves salsa dancing. Although Gil makes less money than Myrla as a firefighter, his passionate personality and desire for a traditional family make him a fitting partner for the leadership coach. This couple might stay together after Married At First Sight season 13 because they are both interested in having a physically active marriage.
Although Gil and Myrla have different backgrounds and professions, they appear to have a strong capability for compatibility on paper. In addition to their shared passion for intimacy, both Myrla and Gil are seeking out the ambitious marriages they've dreamed of. Despite the relationship experts' controversial track record, Myrla and Gil hold the potential to be one of Married At First Sight's best-paired newlyweds.
Married At First Sight airs Wednesdays at 8 PM ET on Lifetime.
