This week, we learned that Married At First Sight stars Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli had welcomed their second child, proving that the season six couple are one of the very few who made it out of the MAFS experiment with a happily ever after.
It naturally got us thinking — particularly during a whirlwind 2026 season with only one truly promising pairing — which other MAFS couples are still together across all seasons of the dating show?
It’s no secret the experiment is better at whipping up drama than it is at establishing lifelong connections, to the point where expert John Aiken has had to respond to accusations the show purposely mismatches couples.
“When we sit down and match we’re very confident about our matches and we’re hopeful that they all can get the fairy tale,” Aiken told PEDESTRIAN.TV.
So with Martha and Michael’s success story top of mind and this season’s antics ridding us of (almost) all trust in MAFS‘ matchmaking, we’re digging into which castmates are still going strong in the real world. These are the lucky few.
Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli (season six)
Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli announced their engagement in 2021, a few years after running off into the sunset in the finale episode of season six in 2019.
They welcomed their first child — an adorable baby boy named Lucius — in January 2023, and added to the brood again this year with baby girl Sunday.
“Our girl is here,” the couple wrote on Instagram this week. “We are smitten.”
Martha and Michael are still engaged and have not spilled any deets about wedding plans, but with two little ones and regular appearances on each other’s socials, it’s a safe bet this couple is still together. Somewhere out there, John Aiken is smiling.
Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant (season six)
Proving to be a stellar year for IRL success, season six also made a poster couple out of Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant. They got married for real in November of 2019, and share two kids, Chase and Carter.
“I feel a lot of people were really invested in our relationship,” Jules told Stellar in 2020. “People still message me to this day and say we gave them hope that they will find their ‘one’. That’s so heartwarming.”
