Married at First Sight season 17’s Decision Day has started airing. However, what are the couples from season 12 doing now? It’s one of the best reality TV shows and each season brings new hope.
However, only one couple from MAFS Season 12 is still married. However, all of MAFS season 12’s cast have moved on. Fans are looking forward to Season 18 of Married At First Sight Season. It’s high time to revisit the star cast of the MAFS Season 12 show.
MAFS Season 12 had five couples from the Atlanta area. They first met at the altar. The couples then set out on a journey of discovery to figure out whether they had plans to get married at the first sight or should part ways with each other.
The five couples, who featured on MAFS Season 12 are Virginia Coombs and Erik Lake, Paige Banks and Chris Williams, Haley Harris and Jacob Harter, Clara Berghaus and Ryan Oubre, and Briana Myles and Vincent Morales. .
Erik Lake & Virginia Coombs
While Virginia and Eric encountered several challenges during their time on the show, on Decision Day, they decided to stay put together forever. However, the couple told People that they had made efforts to solve problems in their marriage life but decided to end their relationship. Hence in July 2021, they filed for divorce.
Since breaking his relationship off with Virginia, Erik has started working as a pilot. He has been carefree about his time on the show. He often uses his Instagram accounts to make fun of some of the things he did on screen. Erik and Logen Saxon got married in 2023.
Virginia was young and free-spirited when he joined the show. Since her divorce, the show has been a part of her life. She used to spend much of her time with her dog Rockie and friends and focusing on her mental health.
She developed a fast relationship with another wife Haley, who was seen in MAFS Season 12, and even gelled well with Clara. Furthermore, after parting ways with Erik, Virginia publicly revealed that she was pansexual.
Paige Banks & Chris Williams
After her relationship with Chris went wrong, Paige wanted to bounce back in her life. She wanted to get married. It was unfortunate for viewers to watch how their relationship played out on the screen.
After their separation, Paige has been enjoying her life. She often gets back to MAFS. Paige along with her fellow MAFS Season 12 wives Briana and Haley has also hosted an empowerment conference. The reality TV star is reportedly busy writing a book.
Chris has heavily contributed to MAFS season 12. Chris still plays the role of a villain after the premier of MAFS Season 12. Some people still wonder about his relationship with Mercedes after she went public about her miscarriage.
Immediately after the unfortunate incident, the couple was spotted enjoying their vacation. However, they are no longer on good terms with each other.
Haley Harris & Jacob Harder
Harley and Jacob ended their marital life on Decision Day. Neither of them was interested in prolonging their relationship. She bonded with other wives on the show.
Haley, like many MAFS alumni, is a globetrotter and loves travelling to Portugal, Columbia and Monaco. However, she is still not spared of criticism about how she landed on the show.
The split between Jacob and Harley was caused by the difference in their age and personality, coupled with lack of intimacy. The problem started from the early days of their marriage. Both wanted to move on.
Jack is still a quirky man in love with corgi. In 2021’s MAFS “Where Are They Now” episode, he seemed to have found a woman from Atlanta, who could be the right match for him, especially in terms of some of his many obsessions. However, nothing came to fruition. Jacob is still single.
Ryan Oubre & Clara Berghaus
Ryan was married to Clara on Decision Day. They were another pair to end their marriage after filming MAFS Season 12. The couple struggled with their marital problems even after the show went on filming.
The couple took the decision to call it a day officially. The announcement of their split came through Ryan’s Instagram post where he claimed that the race difference between them had led to profound misunderstanding in their relationship and played a key role in their divorce.
The statement created a rippling effect on the season’s cast. Virginia responded with a video on her story through Monsters and Critics. No further response came from Ryan despite Virginia’s several call-outs.
Ryan is now focused on his health and works as a trainer at CrossFit Gym in Atlanta. He is enjoying his time by helping others achieve their fitness goals.
A lot of burning issues between Clara and Ryan were wrapped around lack of intimacy in their relationship. However, Ryan’s posts revealed more.
Clara presented a different view of why she ended her marriage with Ryan and responded with her statement in US Weekly where she expressed her desire to turn a new leaf in her life after her official divorce in 2021. She resigned from her job of flight attendant the next year and started working in sales.
Vincent Morales & Briana Myles
Here are the favourite couple from MAFS Season 12 – Vincent and Briana. Moreover, they are the only couple from the MAFS Season 12, who still stay married. Like other married couples, the two had problems during their show. However, they proved their strong bonding and are still married.
From his experience on the show, Vincent told about his strong belief that his experiment worked. In January 2023, the couple welcomed a baby girl and named her Aury Bella Morales.
People are happy to know that at least one couple from Married At First Sight Season 12 show epitomised a fairytale ending.
