Married At First Sight: What Brandon Reid Is Up To In 2021

Married At First Sight alum Brandon Reid was camera-shy and was known for his explosive fights with Taylor Dunklin. He’s now out of the spotlight.

Brandon Reid appeared on Married at First Sight season 10, and he has had quite a year in 2021. His marriage to Taylor Dunklin was annulled in 2020. When Brandon met Taylor on the show, they were considered the romantic partners who were the most likely to succeed. However, their relationship wasn’t destined to last due to their incompatibility.

Brandon expressed discomfort about being filmed for the show, and the cameras seemed to trigger anxiety, along with Taylor posting selfies to social media. While there were compromises, they weren’t enough to prevent fights. His disagreements with production affected his season. Production explained that he signed an agreement to be filmed, and he took out his frustration on anyone in the vicinity, including his new wife. When the marriage was annulled, it didn’t come as a surprise to fans who watched the whole season. Viewers noted that MAFS Brandon and Taylor argued a lot, and some of their fights were quite explosive.

What is Brandon Reid Up To?

The filming for that season took its toll on Brandon. According to Monsters & Critics, he never really adjusted to cameras despite making an effort to incorporate them into his life. In fact, he hasn’t posted any videos or pictures on various social media accounts and hasn’t posted updates about his life. It may be for the best, given that fans believe it was immature of him to take his anxiety out on the MAFS crew and Taylor. Currently, Brandon and Taylor have filed restraining orders against each other, due to an altercation that happened after they separated. What this means is they must stay a safe distance from each other, without any contact, to prevent future altercations. One can assume that Brandon, who divorced Taylor, is finding a way to move forward after their messy breakup and wants his privacy. Without all eyes on him, MAFS’s Brandon can figure out if he is the same person that took his problems out on his wife, or if he wants to be someone different.

Taylor’s Turned Over A New Leaf Since MAFS

For her part, MAFS’s Taylor has minimized her overall social media activity and is currently working as a John Hopkins University researcher. She still keeps in touch with some of the women from MAFS season 10. Her Instagram account is set to public, and she has shared some nice pictures and captions. However, Taylor is busy with her career. MAFS fans do wonder why Brandon agreed to do the show if he didn’t like being on camera. His camera-induced anxiety seemed genuine and didn’t seem like the best candidate for reality TV fame.

With the new seasons airing every year, more couples are learning to have a production crew film every moment. To film the show, cast members need to be comfortable in front of the cameras, and they must be prepared to forfeit some privacy. They also need to be able to handle criticism from viewers. Even couples who make it out of Decision Day together on Married at First Sight have to face some criticism.
