Marrying someone you've never met before sounds like a completely out-there idea, but that's exactly what the stars of Married At First Sight have done. They're paired up by relationship experts and, even though it sounds like a recipe for disaster, it's actually worked out a few times. Find out which couples are still hitched and which ones, well, aren't.

On season 9, it seemed like Iris and Keith were a good match at first. But there were intimacy issues, and Keith felt that Iris was too immature—though he didn't feel ready for marriage either. On decision day, Keith asked for a divorce, surprising Iris, who seemed to think they would work it out.

THEN: Doug Hehner and Jamie Otis

FYI/Lifetime

Jamie made it pretty clear she was freaked out about getting married to someone she'd never met before when she broke down and cried right after she said "I do" to Doug in 2014. She later told upfrontNY that she was "not at all interested in my new husband. He was nice enough but there was literally zero chemistry. No connection. To me that was a huge sign. I just assumed i'’d never work out."

Boy was she wrong! Jamie and Doug are still married, and say they've never been happier. "I don't want to sound corny, but we owe our lives to this TV show and the experts that stuck with us," Doug told People. "It was life-changing for us."
