FOXFIELD, COLORADO: 'Married At First Sight' Season 17's newlywed couple Chloe Brown and Michael Shiakallis appeared to hit the bump just a few days after the duo exchanged the vows.

In the preview of the upcoming episode, Chloe demanded a 'break' from Michael after admitting to feeling 'overwhelmed.'

Michael and Chloe recently moved in together to explore their romantic connection and decide if they want to stay together outside the Lifetime show.

The couple threw a housewarming party and invited their close friends. However, things seem to fizzle out at the party.

In the preview, Chloe's friend asked her, "So how has married life been?" The bride responded, "I have been overwhelmed." However, Chloe then told Michael, "Everything is moving so quickly, so what I was thinking about was taking a few days apart."

Michael was left shocked and heartbroken with Chloe's decision and noted, "Like, oh, well, wait a minute. Do you not wanna be with me?"

Michael Shiakallis takes Chloe Brown to boxing

In the preview of the upcoming episode, Michael Shiakallis and Chloe Brown bond over boxing. Michael told Chloe about the place, "This is my other home."

He then tried to give lessons on boxing to his wife, teaching her power punches.

Michael was impressed with Chloe as she supported his passion and noted in the confessional, "I'm really enjoying seeing Chloe participate in boxing, you know, seeing her engage in my sport... it definitely, you know heightens my attraction to her."

Meanwhile, Chloe was surprised to meet a totally new side of her husband and claimed, "Major turn on watching my husband be so sexy out in that ring."

She further added, "I know he was athletic and strong and a boxer but I didn't know what I was going to see, and holy cow."

Chloe Brown struggles to accept the 'feminine' side of Michael Shiakallis

Chloe Brown found it hard to accept the 'feminine' side of Michael Shiakallis.

In a previous episode of 'MAFS' Season 17, Michael showed off his skirts and ornaments collection to his wife, which apparently turned her off. He also asked Chloe if she could lend one of her earrings to him.

However, Chloe admitted, "I'm hoping the more I get to know Michael for who he is, these fashion choices become less of a concern."

However, she then took her concerns to her co-stars and told Lauren G, Clare Kerr, and Emily Balch that Michael's fashion choices are 'fun to watch' before admitting they give her the ick.

She shared, "That’s the thing he didn't even tell me [the skirt] was coming. He was just like, ready to go to the retreat and I was like, 'Oh, like, great. Love that for you.'"

She further claimed, "But when it comes to the sexual attraction, having that flair and that really fashion-forward personality has been a challenge for me, which is hard."
