Who Is Still Together From Married At First Sight Season 9 (2022)

Since Married at First Sight season 15 is now over, here’s an update on how the four MAFS season 9 couples are doing in 2022. The show launched in 2014, and its relationship experts have always attempted to create successful marriages, by matching couples through a variety of assessments and questionnaires. The cast members then meet for the first times to say “I do” at the altar, and attempt to build lasting relationships once they’ve tied the knot.

While MAFS has produced some successful marriages over its 15 seasons, over 50% have sadly ended in divorce. In fact, only a handful of unions resulted in marriages that still stand today. This has led to some frustration from the MAFS fans, who are annoyed with the experts who set up the couples. Season 9 premiered in 2019, and featured four pairs of newlyweds from Charlotte, North Carolina. Season 9 has been remembered as one of the best installments. Here’s information about the four MAFS season 9 duos’ marital statuses today.

Iris Cadwell & Keith Manley: Divorced

Iris and Keith had several issues in their marriage, with one of the biggest being their lack of compatibility. Iris was a virgin who was reluctant to be intimate with Keith, and while Keith had no problem being patient and understanding with his new wife, he felt frustrated with Iris’ overall immaturity. On Decision Day, Iris wanted to remain married, but Keith admitted that he wanted a divorce. During the season 9 reunion, Iris wanted to work things out, but Keith was not interested in reconciling. As of 2022, Iris and Keith remain cordially divorced. Based on Iris and Keith’s respective Instagram’s, both MAFS alumni are still single as well.

Elizabeth Bice & Jamie Thompson: Married

Elizabeth and Jamie were certainly considered an odd match by MAFS fans, and many thought that they would surely divorce on Decision Day. Between Elizabeth’s brazen personality and Jamie’s sharp tongue, the couple frequently found themselves arguing over the little things. Surprisingly, Elizabeth and Jamie agreed to stay married at the end of season 9. The two MAFS reality alums have remained together ever since. While they now live in Denver, Colorado, Elizabeth and Jamie moved from North Carolina to California in 2020, and starred on the spin-off Married at First Sight: Couples Cam the same year.

Deonna McNeill & Gregory Okotie: Married

Unlike Elizabeth and Jamie, Deonna and Gregory were considered a successful match by MAFS viewers, and became the fan favorites of season 9. While Deonna was a shy and conservative operations manager, Gregory was a confident 32-year-old who owned a math tutoring center. Deonna and Gregory’s compatibility arose from their differences, and their marriage brought out the best in both of them. Naturally, Deonna and Gregory said “Yes” on Decision Day, and have been happily married ever since. After announcing their first pregnancy in 2020, Deonna gave birth to their son Declan in February 2021.

Amber Bowles & Matthew Gwynne: Divorced

Out of the four MAFS season 9 couples, Amber and Matthew easily went down in history as the worst. While viewers were sympathetic about Amber’s tough past and abandonment issues, Matthew exacerbated his new wife’s concerns by treating her feelings and opinions with nonchalance. Matt was even accused of infidelity, which he didn’t exactly deny. Amber and Matthew separated on Decision Day, to fans’ delight, and have no plans to get back together. Matthew and Amber both appear to be single in 2022, and while Matthew’s Instagram is private, Amber has been working hard at building a brand.
