Ellie Dix & Jonathan McCullough (Season 11)

Which was the most successful MAFS season for couples staying together?

Season 6 (2019) has produced the highest conversion rate into long-term relationships since Married at First Sight Australia began in 2015.

Why Season 6 stands out

Season 6 delivered two couples who are still together many years later 0 Jules Robinson & Cam Merchant and Martha Kalifatidis & Michael Brunelli. Given the total number of couples that season, this represents the strongest long-term success rate the franchise has achieved.

Season 8 also produced two lasting couples, but from a larger and more chaotic cast, giving it a lower conversion rate despite similar absolute success.
