During the previous nine seasons, 29 couples have been married on the popular show. Since then, 21 couples have divorced and gone their separate ways. Some of them married other people after leaving the spouse the experts picked for them.

Only eight couples are still married. Four of those couples have babies, and all of them are girls. None of the couples are still together who married in Seasons 2, 3, and 4. Two couples are still together from Season 8 and 9. Season 10 is still in progress. However, it doesn't look promising for all of the five couples to stay married.

Doug was very patient with her. Both of them used the advice they were given by the experts. Even though it was a struggle, their marriage was saved.

Now they have been married for six years and have become one of the best success stories of the series. Jamie and Doug have a daughter named Henley Grace who was born on August 22, 2017. The couple experienced two miscarriages . They are expecting another child in May 2020.

They have been married the longest of any other couple. The experts were reluctant to select Jamie for the show because she had been a contestant on The Bachelor and the Bachelor Pad. The experts took a chance and now Jamie has been the host of Married at First Sight: Unfiltered since Season 2.
