'MAFS': Here's a sneak peek at the alleged San Diego cast in Season 15!
Season 1: Jamie Otis-Hehner and Doug Hehner
Jamie and Doug seemed doomed from the start -- after all, how can long-time 'MAFS' fans forget the way Jamie broke down when she realised her soon-to-be husband wasn't exactly her type in the looks department. However, their relationship soon took an interesting turn, when the couple realised that they had a chance at a bright future. Now, as the parents of two kids, the couple is easily the franchise's most talked-about success story.
Season 5: Ashley Petta and Anthony D'Amico
Right off the bat, Ashley and Anthony seemed like they were meant to be. From the locket Anthony got her before the wedding to the couple just being smitten with each other, it looks like their love has stood the test of time, as they are still happily married to this day.
Season 6: Shawniece Jackson and Jephte Pierre
Although Shawniece and Jephte are still together, it hasn't been all smooth sailing. The couple went through their fair share of ups and downs during their season and even after that, seeing that they briefly split in 2020. However, as of now, they are still together, trying to make their marriage work.
Season 7: Danielle Bergman-Dodd and Bobby Dodd
Right off the bat, Danielle and Bobby proved that they would be one of the couples that would survive the season and they certainly did. Despite Danielle being in credit card debt back then, Bobby assured her that they would work through it alongside their marriage. Two kids later, it looks like the couple is still going strong!
Season 8: Stephanie Sersen and AJ Vollmoeller
Stephanie and AJ had instant chemistry when they met and it was easy to see. The adventurous couple is currently still married, but also opened up about how staying married requires constant effort. They haven't shied away from talking about the fact that they were in couple's counselling and have always been candid about their journey.
Season 8: Kristine Killingsworth and Keith Dewar
Kristine and Keith may have had a slow start, with Kristine being worried that Keith was not mature enough to be married. However, her worries were soon put to rest when he stepped up to the plate and focused on their relationship. Since then, the couple has been happily married.
Season 9: Elizabeth Bice and Jamie Thompson
At the start of Season 9, it looked like Elizabeth and Jamie wouldn't even have made it past Decision Day. But surprisingly, they did. Between the fights and Elizabeth's infamous 'Basic Caucasian Sex' line, the couple seemed like a bad match. However, once the cameras went away, it looks like the two mellowed down and worked on their marriage together. Now, if their Instagram is anything to go by, they are very much in love.
Season 9: Deonna McNeill and Gregory Okotie
Deonna and Gregory were relatively a fuss-free couple during their run on 'MAFS'. And it looked like things have stayed that way for the couple, who are happily married now. They even welcomed a new member, their son, Declan in February 2021.
Season 10: Jessica Studer and Austin Hurd
While Jessica and Austin didn't face the mounting issues many of their castmates did, the couple did have their own hurdles to cross during their season. While Jessica was not thrilled over how often Austin had to travel for work, Austin struggled to tell his wife he loved her for the longest time. However, all of that is now in the past, as the couple is currently stronger and happier than ever.
Season 11: Karen Landry and Miles Williams
Karen and Miles might have gotten off to a rocky start during Season 11, seeing that both of them struggled with warming up to each other and being vulnerable. However, the couple quickly learned how to communicate with each other and soon were all set to take their journey seriously.
Season 11: Amani Smith and Woody Randall
If fans of the franchise had to name one couple that is truly meant for each other, it would have to be Amani and Woody. The couple's meeting on the show was nothing short of serendipity -- turns out, Woody had spotted Amani prior to filming but hadn't approached her back then, only to be matched with her later on Season 11. Apart from their beautiful love story, fans were just as excited when the couple finally welcomed their first child, a boy in June of 2022!
Season 12: Briana Myles and Vincent Morales
Season 12 might have been rocky and all over the place, but right from the get-go, fans had their money on Briana and Vincent, seeing that they were sure this couple was built to last. And they were certainly right. Despite Vincent's grandmother's failing health at the start of their honeymoon, Briana was always by his side. They even worked through their communication issues and are the only couple from their season who are still together.
Season 14: Katina Goode and Olajuwon Dickerson
Katina and Olajuwon seemed good on paper at the start of the season -- however, that was about it. As the season progressed, Olajuwon's demands of what a wife should be got increasingly more ridiculous, right to the point where even the experts were questioning what would happen to the couple. However, Katina seems to have seen the potential of their relationship -- the pair is still together and are happily married.
Season 14: Noi Phommasak and Steve Moy
For Noi and Steve, their biggest hurdle was Steve's employment -- with Noi having grown up in harsh financial circumstances, being stable was paramount to her. Plus, her habit of airing out issues on social media was a big no-no to Steve. The pair eventually worked through their issues, as they knew that they wanted to stay married.
'Married At First Sight' Season 15 is set to premiere on Wednesday, July 6 at 8pm ET on Lifetime.
