Married at First Sight UK is expected to be welcoming its first-ever lesbian couple in the upcoming seventh season of the show.
It follows Matthew Jameson and Daniel McKee becoming the first same-sex couple to appear last year. The two are still happily married after being matched by the show’s relationship experts. “Married At First Sight had a male same-sex couple last year, and now they will have a female same-sex couple.
Everyone who works on the show is excited that it’s happening,” a source close to production told Metro. “It’s another small milestone for the series when it comes to diversity and inclusivity.
The hope is that including a lesbian couple will break down some stereotypes.” Filming for the new instalment is reported to be underway already.
