Married at First Sight is back for Season 20, and the cast has already made an impression in just one episode. One matched couple, Marissa Meyer and Adam Dehmlow, recognized each other at the altar. What’s more, another participant has been on reality TV before: The Circle and Perfect Match alum Nick Uhlenhuth. Another participant is a professional rugby player. Needless to say, we’re intrigued by this year’s lineup.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll get to know the Seattle-based cast even better as they live with their matchmaker-picked spouse, whom they met on their wedding day for the first time. Over 20 episodes, the participants will decide if they want to stay married or get divorced. We’ll get a glimpse at each person’s day-to-day life, seeing how well they mesh their careers and lifestyles with their partners.
If you want to get a head start on learning more about the cast, you can do your own digging into their backgrounds. Below, Swooon has all the details on the ages, jobs, and social media profiles of the Married at First Sight Season 20 cast.
