The Couples Still Together From 'Married at First Sight USA'

Married at First Sight USA is heading to San Diego for Season 15, with five new couples hoping to meet the love of their life during the process.

Unlike other dating-reality series, Married at First Sight does exactly what it says in the title. The five couples meet for the first time at the altar on their wedding day and with the guidance of experts, they tackle all of the things that relationships and marriage throw at you—from meeting the family, the honeymoon, and moving in together.

For some viewers, it may seem like a recipe for absolute disaster and that is true of many couples who met on the show. However, there have been a lucky few who survived the show and remain together today, with some even having kids.

So who is still together from Married at First Sight USA? Newsweek has everything you need to know.

The Couples Still Together From Married at First Sight USA

Season 1

Jamie Otis & Doug Hehner

Jamie and Doug are still going strong since appearing on Married at First Sight in 2014.

The couple even renewed their wedding vows after one year of being together.
They are also one of the many Married at First Sight couples who have started a family. In August 2017, they welcomed their daughter Henley Grace into the world.

In 2020, Jamie gave birth to the couple's son, Hendrix Douglas.

In a recent Instagram post celebrating their eighth anniversary, Jamie reflected how if she had never appeared on the show, she would have never met her husband.

Alongside the video of her and Doug dancing on the beach, Jamie shared: "We were on season 1 of Married at First Sight. They all laughed and mocked us when we said, 'I do' as complete strangers. Back then no one had ever done it before. (I literally didn't even know my hubby's name until our wedding day sooo maybe they had valid reason to call us cray cray!?!) lol! But that's the thing about society norms — they can really hold ya back."

She added: "If I had listened to everyone's criticism and never followed my heart, I would've missed out on growing a love like I've never known."

Season 5

Anthony D'Amico and Ashley Petta

Anthony D'Amico and Ashley Petta found love on Married at First Sight Season 5.

When they first met at the altar, Ashley was 30 years old working as a manager at a bar and Anthony was a 33-year-old sales account executive.

In January 2019, after three years of marriage, they welcomed their daughter Mila Rose into the world. Then in February 2021, the couple's daughter Vadea Marie was born.

It may come as no surprise to fans that Married at First Sight Season 7 couple Danielle Bergmann and Bobby Dodd are still going strong today.

On their decision day, when couples decide whether to stay together or part ways, Bobby proposed, surprisingly Danielle and the entire Married at First Sight experts.

Reflecting on the special moment in an Instagram post of the day, Danielle said: "This day feels so surreal to me still. I got engaged 8 weeks AFTER I was actually married. Who needs to do things traditionally anyway?"

In February 2019, they welcomed their daughter Olivia Nicole, followed by son Bobby IV in December 2020.

"His family was great and I think if someone's family is great, it makes him even more attractive...There was attraction at first sight, not just physical."

Season 14

Steve Moy and Noi Phommasak

Season 14 was a little luckier with couples staying together than Season 13. Steve Moy and Noi Phommasak, one of the fan-favorite couples, are still together.

At the Married at First Sight Reunion last month, the pair showcased their strong relationship, but Noi still had reservations about moving in with her husband.

Recently, Steve shared they were "trying to navigate" through some problems in their private relationship but described it as "special" and "full of love."

He added that a lot had changed after filming the show.

He said: "I live by one thing: work hard today, focus on tomorrow and the rest is history. You embody that. You taught me patience and effort is the key to a happy life and a happy marriage. Katina, I couldn't be any happier to call you my wife, and I mean that."
