Married at First Sight USA will hit UK screens next week, and it’s set to make history
A Married at First Sight bride has made history as the first contestant to fall pregnant just weeks into the experiment.
The American version of the dating show is coming to UK screens on Monday (May 18th), and it sounds just as dramatic as the popular Australian series. The premiere will air on E4 at 8pm, with fresh episodes dropping every Monday to Friday.
Season 19 aired in the US back in October 2025, which means its biggest bombshells have spread across social media. One standout storyline included bride Meghann Turner, who revealed she was pregnant in the ninth episode.
She married Derrek Wiedeman at the beginning of the show and they seemingly sparked a physical connection during their honeymoon.
Announcing the baby news on the show, Derrek said: “Where do we start? We found out some pretty crazy news today. Some miraculous news, unexpected news. I think we’re both nervous.”
Meghann then jumped in: “We’re pregnant! And we were not trying — to make that completely known.”
Although they were still early in their relationship, Derrek felt the pregnancy changed “pretty much everything,” while his wife added that they were both “shocked, scared and happy all at once.”
But Derrek was keen to keep the news a secret from the other couples because Meghann was still early in her term.
“It’s still really early in the whole pregnancy. It’s too early yet to have the first doctor’s appointment where they do the ultrasound. We haven’t gotten to that point yet,” he said.
“But that’s going to be in a few weeks, so we’re a little nervous to spend this close of, like, intimate time together around the other couples because we’re not ready to tell anyone.”
We won’t spoil the couple’s current relationship status here, but they appeared compatible to MAFS experts Pastor Cal Roberson, Dr. Pepper Schwartz and Dr. Pia Holec.
Dr Schwartz is a sociologist, sexologist and relationship guru who has been on the show since its very first season. She works alongside marriage counsellor Pastor Cal and sex therapist and psychotherapist Dr Holec.
The new series of MAFS USA kicks off on Monday, 18th May
