Following the success of new dating show My Mum, Your Dad here in the UK back in September, ITV/STV bosses were quick to gift fans with the Australian series, and now ANOTHER version of the hit show is arriving very soon!

That's right, bosses have confirmed the American version of My Mum, Your Dad, titled My Mom, Your Dad, will be available for fans to stream on ITVX and STV Player from 21st December.

My Mom, Your Dad US, which is hosted by Emmy-nominated actress and stand-up comedian Yvonne Orji, first aired in America back in January 2022, with the UK version following the same format earlier this year.

The show's synopsis reads: 'A group of single parents who have been nominated by their college-age kids for a second chance at love. The parents move into a house together, unaware that their adult children are right down the street living in a second house, watching their every move through hidden cameras and manipulating their encounters.

'From humorous cringe moments to heartwarming confessions, the kids will see their parents in a whole new light as they are presented with opportunities to select who they'll be matched with on one-on-one dates, and who may join the family Thanksgiving for years to come.'

Series one of My Mom, Your Dad is made up of eight episodes and featured a number of single-parents including Myles Johnson, Whitney Strunk, DeNeia Hendrix-Johnson, Troy Petrick, Patricia 'Trish' Duncan, Karen Larrea, Noah Petrick, and Breana Symone.

Check out which My Mum, Your Dad UK couples stayed together:

Natalie and Paul

44-year-old Natalie was nominated by her son Kaliel for the show, and she was quick to make an impression with 47-year-old Paul, who was nominated by his daughter Mazey. The pair had an instant connection in the retreat and were the first couple to share a snog during the school disco party. Since that moment, they enjoyed getting to know each other more, and displayed a lot of affection around the other cast mates, looking very comfortable in each other's company. On their final date, Natalie even opened up to Paul about her past addictions and troubles.


The positive vibes continued when the pair met each other's kids during the final episode, with both Natalie and Paul being full of praise for each other, both admitting they want things to work outside of the retreat after getting the blessing of Kaliel and Mazey.


Are Natalie and Paul still together?
Unfortunaly not. Despite viewers having high hopes for the pair, one day after the final episode aired they took to social media to release a joint statement which read: Firstly just wanted to say thank you for the overwhelming support from everyone who has watched the show and how invested you have been with our journey. It was an incredible experience and one that we will be forever grateful for taking part in.


'Nat and I had an incredible experience in the retreat and loved every moment, we continued that connection over the summer and had some great times together. Unfortunately in early August we decided to call a day on the relationship. We are both still friends and wish each other the best. Thank you for your continued support and we're very thankful to @davinamccall @itv @mymumyourdaduk for all we gained from the experience❤️'. (sic)

58-year-old Roger was nominated by his daughter Jess for the show, following the sad passing of his wife last year. Despite initially enjoying a date with Scottish contestant Caroline, it was the arrival of 47-year-old Janey, who was nominated by her son Will, that really helped Roger open up. After cooling things with Caroline so he could explore things further with Janey, the pair enjoyed spending time together in the retreat, and even shared their first kiss during their final date.


Despite Janey's son Will and Roger's daughter Jess having a few reserves, when they met during the final episode it appeared these were put to bed, with both kids giving their parents their blessings.

Despite their obvious connection, Sharon struggled to be open with Elliot due to her past trauma in relationships, but Elliott was quick to reassure her that he was willing to go at a slow pace in order to pursue the romance.


Whilst meeting each other's children during the final episode, both Sharon and Elliott seemed positive about the future, despite the long-distance between the two in Sunderland and Essex.

Despite the reports, the pair are yet to publicly announce the news.

Monique and Martin M

After being nominated for the show by her daughter Taiya, things got off to a slow start for 50-year-old Monique, with the therapist admitting she wasn't attracted to any of the men. However, when new arrivals Martin M and Martin H arrived into the retreat, Monique came into her own! Following a number of dates with the Martins, Monique found herself in a love square alongside fellow contestant Tollulah, but during the final few episodes, Martin M admitted his feelings were strongest for Monique. The pair then enjoyed a final date together, where Monique hinted she'd be happy to move to Ibiza, where Martin lives!


However, following the visit from her daughter Taiya during the final episode, Monique had doubts about Martin's true feelings, later quizzing him about his actions towards her during their time in the retreat.


As fans will know, Monique ended things with Martin during the final episode, admitting she felt they just weren't right for each other. Following the conversation, Martin admitted the experience has taught him to take people's feelings into consideration more. The pair left the retreat as friends.
