Married At First Sight couple update fans on BABY news 👶

Aww!

Author: Carl SmithPublished 1st Mar 2021

Oh, how we miss Married At First Sight Australia already. How are we actually going to cope without our nightly fix of Sam Ball's snide comments, Martha Kalifatidis's bitter Jessika Power and Ines Basic feud and Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant's general PERFECTION?

Well - as we twiddle our thumbs until MAFS Australia series 7 hits our screens this summer - we've got some exciting baby news to bring you from one of the show's successful couples.

Michelle and Owen Jenkins are already talking babies!

Answering fan questions in an Instagram Stories Q&A, the couple from the fifth UK series of the show admitted they've already discussed family plans, with Michelle keen for kids as early as 'today.'

Michelle said, "I had a dream last night that we had a baby," with Owen adding, "If it was up to Michelle, we'd have a baby today. But, luckily, it's a joint choice. So maybe in a few years' time."

"You're just so rational," Michelle joked.

Meanwhile, down under in Australia, MAFS star Mike Gunner has broken his silence over 'offensive' comments he made during the show's final episode.

Responding to the backlash over his 'sexist' claim that 'groups of women don't cope as well as groups of men under pressure,' Mike told OK! magazine, "The producers played this clip of all the girls blowing up and yelling at each other and then they play a clip of the guys getting along with pats on the back and showing each other support."

Mike continued, "They then threw it out to the group and asked what made the guys so solid and the girls fall apart."

"These were my words, I said ‘I don’t think I want to weigh in on this. I’m just going to stay out of this one.’

"Melissa Lucarelli went ‘no no, come on, what’s your opinion’ and I said exactly this ‘is it possible that in a situation like this, groups of men handle the pressure better than groups of women?’"

Which Married At First Sight Australia couples are still together?

Erin Bateman and Bryce Mohr, season two

The couple met way back in season two and are still going strong. The pair prefer to remain out of the spotlight and are happily living together in Melbourne.

Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant, season six

Oh, Cameron and Jules. From the minute Jules and Cam had their first wedding dance without any music, we had an inkling they were in it for the long haul. And we were right! The pair now have a baby together, who was born in October last year, and tied the knot properly after the show. So, yes - sometimes this wild experiment does work.

Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli, season six

Martha and Michael were an extremely drama free pair (in comparison to everyone else) so it's no shock that they have actually managed to stay together. They are now living together in Sydney whilst becoming full-time influencers. Oh, and they're engaged so they will be tying the knot for real very soon.

Melissa Rawson and Bryce Ruthven, season eight

Despite Bryce repeatedly putting down Melissa's appearance during the show and more dramatic showdowns than we've had hot dinners - the on-off couple are surprisingly stronger then ever. In fact, they're living together, are officially engaged, have matching tattoos and have just welcomed baby twins.

In other MAFS news, applications for the next UK series are open now!
