Are Emily Balch and Brennan Shoykhet still together? 'MAFS' Season 17 star reveals husband 'threatened' her
DENVER, COLORADO: 'Married At First Sight' Season 17 stars Emily Balch and Brennan Shoykhet are reportedly not together. The duo have been recently entangled in a difficult situation after their marriage hit a bump.
Emily accused Brennan of cheating and the couple had a heated argument. Brennan ended up moving out from Emily's apartment leaving her in tears.
However, in the preview of the upcoming episode, Emily made some serious accusations that even stunned the experts, Dr Pastor Calvin 'Cal' Roberson and Dr Pia Holec.
In the teaser of the Decision Day episode, Emily and Brennan sat down with Pastor Cal to share their Lifetime show journey and reflect on some of the behind-the-scenes moments before sharing their final decision about their marriage.
Emily claimed in the preview, "You have tried to silence me... telling me to delete diary cams, trying to control the narrative."
Brennan was visibly stunned by the accusation and claimed back, "You told me you wanted to go to war with me, so I just." Emily retaliated, "But you made it hostile afterwards."
She then shockingly revealed to the 'MAFS' expert, "He also threatened me the other day and said he had enough to ruin my life on TV after this all came out."
Will Brennan Shoykhet and Emily Balch say 'yes' on decision day?
'MAFS' stars Brennan Shoykhet and Emily Balch called it quits just a day before the Decision Day and are speculated to have got divorced.
Considering the cheating allegation and recent dramatic fights, the Lifetime show couple would say 'no' on Decision Day. However, before announcing the decision, the duo reflected on their marriage.
Emily told the cameras, "Decision Day is finally here. I am very on edge." She added, "I thought Brennan had the potential to be a good partner, but he put a block up, which allowed nothing to be able to move forward."
Meanwhile, Brennan admitted to 'feeling a little nervous'. He then recalled his first meeting with Emily while a clip from their wedding played in the background.
Brennan shared, "When I first saw Emily, I thought we would have a lot of fun together." He added, "One of the things that Emily and I don't see eye to eye on is communication."
He further announced, "I came into this not thinking divorce was even an option for me. But now I'm wondering if it's the only option."

'MAFS' star Emily Balch reaches her breaking point
'MAFS' Season 17 star Emily Balch had been optimistic about her marriage with Brennan Shoykhet since the day they exchanged vows at the altar.
Both wanted their marriage to work but things went otherwise soon after their honeymoon was over. Emily admitted that Brennan started to distance himself from her after their Mexico honeymoon.
However, their marriage was back on after the Lifetime show star's life-threatening ATV accident.
The couple's romance soon fizzled out during their latest dinner date night after Brennan called Emily a 'negative' person. She reached her breaking point and sobbed on the bathroom floor.
Emily later confronted Brennan after their co-star Clare Kerr revealed that he had asked Cameron Frazer to go on a double date.
Brennan denied the allegation and claimed, "I don't even know what you're talking about. Me and Cam joke about s**t all the time."
She wished Brennan would just take accountability for once in their relationship. However, the argument heated up after Brennan accused Emily of essentially wanting to roast him and ruin his name on TV.
'Married At First Sight' Season 17 airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on Lifetime.
