Olivia & Brett

Christina & Henry
Henry, 35, was born and raised in Arabi, LA. He currently works as a clinical recruiter and enjoys the career he’s established. Henry is looking for a partner to settle down with and feels he’s tried every approach possible but has been unsuccessful. The dating apps have been disappointing and his friends and colleagues have no one else to introduce him to. Henry is interested in Married At First Sight because he believes the experiment will be beneficial in many ways and is a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity that he’d be crazy to pass up.
Born in Houma, LA, Christina, 30, was raised by a single mother and never really knew her biological father. The flight attendant recently got out of a five-year relationship and hasn’t put much effort into dating or finding a partner. She is eager for the Married At First Sight experiment because she knows the experts are willing to do the work for her so she can settle happily into a relationship with her perfect match.
