Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson, from the hit UK show "Married At First Sight," made headlines when they took off their wedding rings after just six months of marriage. But their reason for doing so may surprise you.
Despite being one of the show's success stories, the couple faced challenges during their time on the show. They had to navigate differences in lifestyle, distance, and even opposing views on having children. But despite these obstacles, they said "I do" for a second time in their vow renewals at the end of the experiment.
After leaving the show and returning to their normal lives, things seemed to get easier for them. "The problems we had in the experiment just weren't an issue when we were back in the real world," shared Zoe. But their issues may have seemed bigger than they were due to producer involvement and the need for storylines.
Zoe and Jenna are now a happy couple in the real world, but during the experiment, Zoe noticed the impact their presence was having on their relationship. She even asked the producers to stop asking them questions about veganism, which was causing problems for them. Thankfully, the producers respected her request and the topic was dropped.
But despite their fairytale start to their marriage, the couple decided to take off their wedding rings after six months. "We took our wedding rings off about six months into our relationship. They now live on our bedside tables," shared Jenna. They wanted to be a normal couple and just date, without the pressure of being newlyweds on a TV show.
Although their start may have been unconventional, they now feel like any other couple. They plan to get married for real in the near future and are even hoping to use their original wedding date. However, they may have some trouble finding the venue where they got married, as they were taken to an unknown location for the ceremony.
Children are also on the table for the couple, despite Jenna's initial reservations during the show. "I can imagine us having a 'gayby'," she said, adding that they enjoy spending time with their nieces and nephews.
Now, the couple is focused on their podcast, "Life With a Wife," where they discuss drama from their time on "Married At First Sight" and share what's been going on in their lives. They also answer questions from listeners and share their natural chemistry and playful banter.
Over a year and a half since they tied the knot, the couple looks back at their time on the show with fondness and gratitude. "The experts really do care about matching people well. They have our best interests at heart," shared Jenna. They even reached out to one of the show's experts to find out why they were matched and were surprised by what they found.
Despite their happy marriage, they do miss the weekly therapy sessions they had on the show. "Having therapy was so helpful. I learned so much about myself and we were given so many tools," said Zoe. "Sometimes if we have a disagreement, it would be nice to just speak it out with the experts. It was a safe space." However, Jenna interjected, "Well, there were a lot of people sharing their opinions."
Overall, Zoe and Jenna are happy with their decision to participate in "Married At First Sight" and are excited for what the future holds for them as a married couple.
