What Happened To Jessica Griffin After Season 8
Dr. Jessica Griffin was a Married at First Sight matchmaker before finding love with a contestant. Here is everything she has been up to.
On Married at First Sight, Dr. Jessica Griffin was one of the matchmaking experts during seasons 6, 7, and 8, and she has been keeping busy since leaving the show. Many fans speculated that her relationship with season 6's Jon Francetic led to her getting replaced by Dr. Viviana Coles in season 9. Check out everything that Dr. Jessica has been up to since leaving the show in 2019.
Married at First Sight follows a new cast of singles looking to get married to strangers, and the unconventional process has shown mixed results. During Dr. Jessica's MAFS stint, she helped to match (and give relationship advice to) many couples. One of her success stories is Jephte Pierre and Shawniece Jackson from season 6, as they are still together and share a daughter. However, not all of season 6 led to happy endings, as Jephte and Shawniece are the only pair that is still together. Jaclyn Schwartzberg and Ryan Buckley split after less than a year of marriage and Molly Duff and Jonathan Francetic had one of the most troubled relationships in MAFS history.
The biggest plot twist from MAFS came after fan-favorite Jon and relationship expert Dr. Jessica started dating. While Molly was known for bullying Jon on Married at First Sight, he and Dr. Jessica seem to have a loving relationship. The pair got engaged in 2019 during a hike at the Grand Canyon, and he is often featured on her Instagram with her three kids.
While Dr. Jessica left Married at First Sight behind, she is still a practicing psychologist and has given countless couples relationship advice since exiting the series. She co-authored a psychology textbook about childhood in 2021. The TV personality has also had several news segments about coping with stress and other mental health issues during the pandemic. Dr. Jessica and Jon have started working together and created their own website, which features webinars about building healthy relationships.
Dr. Jessica has continued to stay in touch with Married at First Sight fans through her Instagram and her Cameo. She has also spent a lot of quality time with her family. Jon, MAFS' Dr. Jessica, and her three kids all spent the holidays together in Boston before they traded in the cold for Florida's sandy beaches. Despite the fact that they put their wedding plans on hold due to the pandemic, the pair are still going strong and living their best lives together. Dr. Jessica also made sure to give a shoutout to all women in her latest post for International Women's Day.
