Lifetime’s Married at First Sight made a comeback with a rip-roaring Season 15. For the show’s historic West Coast debut, OG MAFS experts Dr. Pepper Schwartz and Pastor Cal Robertson teamed up with newcomers DeVon Franklin and Dr. Pia Holec to create five presumably unbeatable love matches out of the thousands of romantic hopefuls who’d hoped to join Season 15’s cast lineup.
Following their sight-unseen weddings and romantic honeymoons in the charming beaches of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Season 15 couples got to move in together as they prepared to make the ultimate decision; stay married or get divorced.
Here’s everything that’s happened since these monumental decisions were made and season 15 came to its inevitable conclusion.

Much of the altercation, as Alexis shared at the reunion, had to do with Alexis not feeling like herself anymore.
“I felt like I was not free, and I’m a very free-spirited individual. And I felt like I was losing myself.”
Alexis went on to say, “We still tried to be friends.”

Miguel Santiago and Lindy Elloway got divorced
Miguel and Lindy developed almost instantaneous romantic chemistry following their nuptials. As such, it came as no surprise when the couple decided to remain together on ‘Decision Day.’
That said, the duo’s marriage might not be as rosy as it appears, if an Instagram post from that time was to be believed, where Lindy was featured not wearing her wedding band was anything to go by.

What is the most boring part of Married at First Sight?
During the first episodes of each Married at First Sight season, viewers get to watch the awkward moment when the new couples meet and they have to deal with each other’s families. After the honeymoons are over, viewers watch as the real drama that is bound to pull some of the couples apart is on full display. When the couples are on their honeymoons, that almost always is the most boring part of the season. The reason for that is because most of the participants are on their best behavior so it is much more unlikely that anything interesting will happen.
However, even hyphenating a last name was not enough to keep the two together and Lindy and Miguel divorced in 2023.
3 Married At First Sight: Krysten Collins And Mitch Silverstein

Krysten and Mitch were one of the two Season 15 couples whose marriage didn’t make it past filming. Although the two are trying to remain on good terms, Mitch’s decision to walk away from the marriage still stupefies Krysten, as she explained at the reunion.
“I truly didn’t think there was a chance that he wouldn’t be attracted to me.”
Krysten went on to say, “I don’t think I’m Jessica Biel, but I do think I bring a lot to the table. So, I was a little surprised, and I didn’t really believe him.”

Krysten concluded with, “I know what I’m worth and that ain’t it.”
1 Married At First Sight: Binh Trinh And Morgan Bell
Binh Trinh and Morgan Bell remained friends after not making it to ‘Decision Day’
Morgan and Binh were the only Season 15 couple who didn’t even make it to ‘Decision Day.’ While their marriage might have unraveled quite rapidly, their friendship seems fortified to a fault.
“At some points, we kind of talk, we kind of laugh, we’re like, ‘Oh my god, I cannot believe that all happened, I cannot believe we went through that,’” Morgan disclosed to Entertainment Tonight.
“Because now we’re just completely different people at the end of the day, and it’s honestly wonderful.”
