When they appeared on Married at First Sight season 1, Cortney Hendrix and Jason Carrion seemed like a match made in heaven, and it's time to share information about their lives after the show. On Decision Day, there was the certainty that they'd say yes. Unfortunately, they're not one of the MAFS couples still together in 2023. They divorced instead of being remembered as a successful MAFS couple. Their split was one of the franchise's most shocking, surprising, and devastating events. Before they called it quits, their marriage lasted for five years.

The make-up artist and the first responder fell in love quickly. There was hope that the MAFS stars would have babies, but that didn't happen. They shared the same devotion to religion and family. During the inaugural season, the obstacles hadn't cropped up yet, so they said yes on Decision Day. Unfortunately, their differences began to show when they appeared on Married at First Sight: The First Year, mainly due to their conflicting schedules. They were always in different places, which strained their relationship. Jason decided to pursue firefighting, and would spend 13 hours a day at the academy. Meanwhile, Cortney was trying to start her makeup business.

Cortney Opened Up About Divorce From Jason

When Cortney spoke to The List about why she and Jason divorced, she said, “It just really came down to, the things I wanted in life no longer matched up with things he wanted in life." Although she said that love was never an issue for them, she admitted that her life plan did not align with his. Cortney also spoke up about how difficult life as a first responder's wife was: "Some days I was okay with it, a lot of days I wasn't. And you have to be okay with it. There is no if, ands, or buts." The couple divorced in 2019.

Cortney and Jason Both Found New Spouses

While they divorced, good news was on the horizon, as both eventually married other people. Jason wed his British girlfriend, Roxanne Pallett, who appeared on Celebrity Big Brother UK. While fans don't know much about the pair, they seem to share a love of the film Rocky, as a proposal scene from the movie inspired their proposal. The couple married two months after getting engaged. They wed in January 2020/. Since then, both have chosen to leave social media behind.

Cortney from Married at First Sight also remarried a man named Sherm, and shared their wedding photos on her Instagram. Her beau went through a difficult divorce before finding Cortney. They held their weddings in their North Carolina home in October 2020. Their first son was born in October 2021, and they announced a second pregnancy with another boy in February 2023.
