'Married At First Sight' definitely has a few hits and misses, but when the experts get a right, you can best believe them to knock it right out of the ball park. A couple that's the perfect example of a match made in 'MAFS' heaven would have to be Jessica Studer and Austin Hurd. The two lovebirds won each other and fans over during their season and by the looks of it, they're still very much in love.

If you're curious to know what past MAFS couples have been up to, then get ready for Season 2 of 'Married at First Sight: Couples Cam'. A self-shot series, 'Couples Cam' gives us a look at the 'MAFS' couples' lives — from dealing with the pandemic to working on their relationship and in some cases, taking care of their growing families. Some couples, like Studer and Hurd, however, have been dealing with Covid-19 and quarantine has definitely been tough on them. Here's what the Season 10 lovebirds have been up to.

The couple was season's sweethearts 

Studer and Hurd are definitely a match made in 'Married At First Sight' heaven, seeing that the couple got along instantly. They had similar ideals, values and beliefs, and even similar opinions on children and families. It genuinely seemed like smooth sailing for the two. And for most of their relationship, it was. The only time the two hit a snag in their journey was when Studer said she loved Hurd much sooner than he did.

The fact that he didn't say it back didn't quite sit right with fans of the show. But that didn't stop the couple from working together to know each other better. Those special three words did come from Hurd eventually, on decision day no less, when he professed that he too was in love with his wife. It was easily one of the sweetest moments on the show.


Studer's job has her on the Covid-19 frontlines

The pandemic has had Studer busier than ever, seeing that she's a registered nurse and patient care manager at MedStar Washington Hospital in DC. Studer has had to deal with Covid-19 patients directly and has been working on the frontlines since the pandemic started. Hurd, who is a network manager, has been working from home while helping around regularly, seeing that his wife works long, difficult hours.

'Married at First Sight: Couples Cam' Season 2 premieres on Lifetime on February 4, Thursday, at 8/7c.
