Eight couples take the plunge and say “I do” to a total stranger on Married at First Sight: UK Season 7. (Though as in the Australian version of the show, the weddings aren’t legally binding.) They are: 

  • Chanita, 29, a social worker from Derby, and Jordan, 29, an account manager from Darlington 
  • Whitney, 31, a PA from St. Albana, and Duka, 31, a recruitment HR coordinator from Birmingham
  • Thomas, 31, a mental health care assistant from Liverpool, and Adrian, 37, a digital designer from Manchester
  • April, 32, a dress designer (and former Miss Great Britain) from London, and George, 40, a financial advisor from Worcester
  • Jess, 31, a dental hygienist from Cambridgeshire, Pjay, 31, a dancer/performer from Birmingham
  • Lara, 49, a waitress from Nottingham, and Richie, 51, a sales advisor from Sheffield 
  •  Kasia, 36, a businesswoman from London, and Kwame, 42, a business consultant from London 
  • Jenna, 32, a zero waste shop owner from Blackpool, and Zoe, 30, a quality surveyor from West Midlands

After getting married, each couple goes on a honeymoon and then moves in together. They’ll get together with the rest of the cast at weekly dinners and have to decide whether to stick with their relationship or bow out of the experiment at regular commitment ceremonies.

This season’s MAFS: UK cast all start out with high hopes they’ll meet the love of their life on the show. Unfortunately, most of the couples don’t last. After the season 7 finale (which aired in October 2022 on E4 in the U.K.), only one pair was still together: Jenna and Zoe. 

While Jenna and Zoe experienced some bumps in the road as they got to know each other (including a dust-up over Zoe’s refusal to give up meat for her vegan wife), they ultimately decided to stay married during the show’s final commitment ceremony. And based on their socials, they’re still going strong. Recently, they took in a performance of the ballet Sleeping Beauty at the Royal Opera House. Zoe even revealed on Instagram that she’d decided to go vegan in January – a major lifestyle switch for the committed carnivore. 

In a Feb. 23 Instagram post, Jenna said she was excited for a new group of viewers to follow her and Zoe’s love story. 

“Crazy to think some people out there will be reliving our entire experience which for us that took part is now a distant memory.. some for better some for worse,” she wrote. “This time last year I had known for about a week that I was definitely going to be on the show and was busy choosing a dress (the only choice we could make for the big day) and speculating with the fam about what the journey would bring and if I would actually find a wife for life!”

New episodes of Married at First Sight: UK air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
