Married at First Sight Season 15 Miguel & Lindy call it quits after less than one year of marriage. Lindy Elloway and Miguel Santiago-Medina exclusively confirmed they will be filing for divorce with PEOPLE.
“It is with great heartbreak Miguel, and I are announcing our divorce”, Lindy says in a statement to PEOPLE. “Sadly, it’s impossible to stay married if both people are not equally committed to the success of the marriage. Marrying a stranger on national TV has been a very painful, overwhelming & confusing process”.
Lindy adds that she has no regrets about marrying Miguel on the series. “Neither of us regret getting married at first sight and are happy we experienced a genuine connection. While it has been difficult, and it didn’t work out for us, we are incredibly grateful for this experiment and opportunity”.
“It is our hope that viewers understand you see very little of our lives during the short duration of filming. While it is easy to cast judgement and make assumptions, please remember we are just regular people who decided to take a leap of faith. Thank you for going on this insane journey with us, and for respecting our privacy while we continue to heal and grow as individuals”, she concludes.
Lindy and Miguel had their share of ups and downs getting to Decision Day. The biggest issue for them was Miguel saw the experience as some sort of “dating mechanism” in which experts chose him a wife and he got 3 1/2 weeks to see if she was the “perfect fit” or not.
Lindy seemed to have a little bit of brat in her that wanted to stay in “Never Never Land” and be present in the marriage at the same time, and Miguel was not a fan. Mostly, these two seemed great at expressing as well as communicating their feelings to one another, and great at receiving and processing the information they’d received from each other.
We predicted before the season began that this couple would say no on decision day, lending they would be incompatible and unable to ultimately work out their differences. But upon midway to Decision Day, we changed that prediction to a yes hoping the strong communications skills between this pair would shine through.
“I’m constantly asking myself if I’m safe or unsafe”, Lindy said on Decision Day. “We’re both very reactive”.
She then added: “I have nothing but love and respect for you. The person that you are, I’m just totally enamored with you… Being able to see you vulnerable, I just feel like I love you even more”.
Miguel followed Lindy’s decision with a heartfelt moment of his own. “I’ve gotten to know the real you and the thing is, I’m hooked”, he said. “I’m inspired by you, and I’m obsessed with you.”
“A few pages into our joint story and I don’t want to put this book down”, Miguel added. “As puzzle pieces, we don’t just fit, we click. Let’s continue to foster the love that we’ve been searching for and found in one another”.
Married at First Sight Boston season 14’s fan favorite couple, Katina Goode and Olajuwon Dickerson jointly announced they were going their separate ways and ending their marriage just 3 months ago. They also divorced after less than a year of marriage. What do you think about the Married at First Sight couples that say yes on Decision Day, but divorce or separate shortly after?
