'Married at First Sight' Season 13 Couples, Premiere Date: Photos

Taking a chance on love! Married at First Sight will be returning with a three-hour premiere on Wednesday, July 21, introducing viewers to 10 singletons from Houston, Texas, who are ready to take the plunge right after meeting each other.

This time around, we’ll meet our five new couples: Myrla and Gil, Brett and Ryan, Michaela and Zack, Rachel and Jose as well as Bao and Johnny, who are making history as the show’s first Asian-American pairing. Fortunately, you can get to know them ahead of time on the Matchmaking Special, which is set to debut on Wednesday, July 7, at 8 p.m. ET. A week later, on July 14, host Kevin Frazier and a panel of insiders will tease a first look at what to expect this time around in the Kickoff Special.

After the most-watched season ever, MAFS promises to return with even more captivating episodes. “One husband gets caught in a situation that no one saw coming,” according to the press release.

With the help of relationship experts and reality TV magic, these new cast members are hopeful to find the partner they have always wanted. All of the couples will not have met or had contact with each other until the day they say, “I do.” (No pressure, right?) Cameras will then follow around the couples as they navigate their new relationships, including honeymoons and other aspects of married life like meeting family members. After several weeks, each of them must decide whether to remain together or call it quits.

Season 1 participant Jamie Otis, who tied the knot with the man she was matched with, Doug Hehner, was pleasantly surprised by how well the unnerving process worked out for her. “I was not at all interested in my new husband,” she told UpfrontNY in 2015. “He was nice enough, but there was literally zero chemistry. No connection. To me, that was a huge sign. I just assumed it’d never work out. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised by this process. I’m so happy that I was able to be open-minded, and I’m so thankful that the experts gave me my husband.”

Jose, 35, and Rachel, 33

Jose is ready for a serious commitment, but has struggled to find a woman that has the same goals of starting a family and having a long-term relationship. As for Rachel, she is happy with where she’s at in life after growing up in a divorced home, yet would love to have a partner by her side with whom she can build a life together.

Gil, 35, and Myrla, 34

Gil wants to have the American dream: a nice house, car, marriage and kids with a woman who loves him dearly. Plus, he is willing to go the extra mile to show his leading lady how special she is. Myrla, who is a leadership coach, is open to switching up her role by trusting the guidance of the MAFS relationship experts.

Johnny, 35, and Bao, 35

Johnny was raised by a single mother, so he has a lot of compassion for the women in his life and is confident the show’s experts may be able to find a partner that is just his cup of tea. Bao never wanted to be married when she was growing up, but she ultimately had a change of heart when she turned 30.

Ryan, 35, and Brett, 33

Ryan knows one thing for certain: he wants to find a wife so he can fulfill his dreams of becoming a young, active father to his future sons or daughters. So, what about Brett? She is a fan of the series and believes the relationship experts might set her up with the guy that’s in it for the long haul with her.
