Summary

  • Married at First Sight Season 14 saw Alyssa and Chris have the shortest marriage in the show's history, as they divorced just 12 days after their wedding.
  • None of the couples from Season 14 are still together, and the show's experts have only had a 6% success rate in the last three seasons.
  • Alyssa now lives in Texas and seems to be single, focusing on herself and her rescue initiative, while Chris is in a happy relationship and working as a real estate agent.

Married at First Sight viewers watched Alyssa Ellman and Chris Collette marry and divorce on season 14, and now they live completely different lives. Season 14 took place in Boston, Massachusetts, and featured five couples who were ready to commit to a stranger. Alyssa and Chris, Mark Maher and Lindsay Georgoulis, Olajuwon Dickerson and Katine Goode, Jasmine Outar and Michael Morency, and Noi Phommasak and Steve Moi were the couples who walked down the aisle. Alyssa was immediately unattracted to Chris and refused to communicate with him or stay with him after that. She repeatedly claimed she was a good person and was robbed of the experience.

Shortly after the honeymoon and 12 days after their wedding, Alyssa and Chris divorced, making it the shortest marriage in Married at First Sight history. Alyssa and Chris were not the only couple to end up divorced. In fact, none of the couples from season 14 are still together, despite the remaining four couples all saying yes on Decision Day. The Married at First Sight experts tasked with matching the pairs based on their wishlists and compatibilities completely missed the mark. They have actually only had a 6% success rate in the last three seasons.

Alyssa Is Single In Texas

Alyssa expressed interest in wanting to move to Texas after the show. Whether that was to shake off her bad experiences in Boston from being painted as the season's villain is unclear. What is clear is that she fits in well in Texas. Alyssa already showcased her love of country western style via her wedding dress, and she sports cowboy boots often in her Instagram posts. The passionate animal lover brought her rescue initiative to Texas as well and asks fans to support her cause. Alyssa appears to be single, as she only posts pictures of herself or having fun with girlfriends.

Chris Is In A Happy Relationship

Chris was gracious during Alyssa's meltdowns and post-divorce, which made him a fan favorite during his short time on the show. These days, Chris still has a big Married at First Sight following of 51,000 people. He is a happy real estate agent who is passionate about connecting people with their dream homes. Regarding Chris' love life, he briefly dated Married at First Sight season alum Olivia Cornu. In 2023, Chris is in a different relationship and seems head over heels for his girlfriend, Emily. Chris and Alyssa have been much better off apart, and while Alyssa seems to be focusing on herself, Chris appears to be happy and thriving.

Married at First Sight airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST.
