'MAFS' star Michelle Tomblin's apartment is a letdown after all the hype
'Married At First Sight' Season 18 star Michelle Tomblin currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. Throughout the season, she has been vocal about her strong dislike for her husband David Trimble's living situation. She often expressed her discomfort with the idea of him living in his parent's basement, constantly cringing at the thought.
According to Michelle, a basement was synonymous with a lack of sophistication and independence, and couldn't live up to her standards. The couple recently visited each other's homes to explore the possibility of moving in together, only to discover that Michelle's apartment didn't quite meet expectations. It was way more compact than David's place. Despite being the basement, David's place looked cozy and had a welcoming surrounding. It was well-furnished with a separate entrance from his parents' house.
Michelle had never expected that living in his parent's basement could provide privacy, but David's place had it all. Meanwhile, Michelle's apartment lacked most of the basic amenities and felt much more minimalistic. David's reaction to Michelle's place was genuine and he was right to call it 'simple'. In fact, Michelle's apartment wasn't worth the hype especially when compared to David's surprisingly comfortable setup.

The Lifetime show star further claimed that he is now in a better financial position and can afford a new place.
