Will Michael Shiakallis and Chloe Brown say 'yes'? 'MAFS' Season 17 couple celebrate monthiversary amid looming Decision Day
DENVER, COLORADO: 'Married At First Sight' Season 17 couple Michael Shiakallis and Chloe Brown received a different Decision Day as they got married weeks after other Lifetime show couples. Michael and Chloe have been the only married couple remaining in the Lifetime show. In the upcoming episode, the couple would celebrate their first month anniversary and Michael planned a sweet surprise for his wife Chloe.
Michel took Chloe to the Beer spa for their one-month anniversary and claimed the process was "really nice to kind of just take a moment to relax and reflect." Chloe admitted in the confessional, "I came into this process asking for an empathetic man who wanted to love me harder than he's ever loved anyone before." Michael shared his hope for marriage and noted, "I think that we're on a trajectory of where we could one day be in love."
However, as the Decision Day looms, Michael and Chloe talked about what they would say to the experts. Chloe noted in the preview, "I want to make sure that we are aligned, so if Decision Day was tomorrow..." Michael was sure that he would say yes and elaborated, "What I would need to say yes is just feel like that we've not only created an emotional connection, which I think we did, you know, but that I want to continue in this marriage, which I think is like a significant level up."
Meanwhile, Chloe was not sure about her current relationship status and noted, "I think I might be kind of hearing a little bit that if Decision Day was tomorrow you might be feeling like it's a no."

Chloe Brown demands 'break' from Michael Shiakallis
'MAFS' Season 17 couple Chloe Brown and Michael Shiakallis kicked off their relationship with a whirlwind romance that came to a halt after their honeymoon. Michael was preparing to move in with Chloe when she asked for a break. Chloe wanted to take a few days to herself to be with her dogs and just "process" everything they had been through.
Chloe elaborated on her decision, "Being together all the time, we don't have a chance to think. We don't have a chance to feel. And I'm this deeply introverted person who needs a lot of alone time and a lot of silence to feel like I'm listening to my own needs, and I think I just need that time." Meanwhile, Michael was surprised by Chloe's decision and noted that he couldn't help but wonder if something was "bothering" her... like if she didn't want to be with him or spend time with him.
'Married At First Sight' Season 17 airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on Lifetime.
