Married at First Sight’s most successful couples are getting romantic ahead of Valentine’s Day.

In 18 seasons, several couples have served as living proof that the show’s unique concept can be successful.
“I think I knew right after I met him that it was gonna work,” Ashley Petta exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2024 when recalling the moment she first met her husband Anthony D’Amico. “We just clicked.”

‘Married at First Sight’ Season 1 Stars Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner
Dear Doug,
It’s been a decade since we said “I do” as complete strangers. I had a panic attack because I didn’t get instant sparks when I saw you — I assumed our marriage wouldn’t last. Little did I know we’d grow our love and our family! I wouldn’t want to raise these four babies with anyone else! I love you!
Xoxo, Secret admirer
Dear Jamie,
It took a lot of courage — and an equal amount of crazy — to decide to marry a stranger. Without question, it was the best decision that I’ve ever made, and I am beyond grateful for the journey that led us to where we are today. It hasn’t always been easy, but nothing worthwhile is. Thank you for helping me become a better husband and father. You are such an inspiration to me, and I feel lucky to be able to call you my wife, and our kids could not be blessed with a better mother! Thank you for being you!
Love, Your secret admirer
‘Married at First Sight’ Season 11 Stars Woody Randall and Amani Aliyya
Dear Woody,
Happy Valentine’s Day, babe! These last five years with you have been such a beautiful experience. I fall in love with you a little bit more every day. Can I be your Valentine foreva eva?
Love you long time, Sweets
Dear Amani,
Hey Sweets! You are the missing piece I never knew I needed. Five years in, you’re not just my love; you’re my best friend, my partner in crime and the reason for every smile on my face. Thank you for five years of laughter, support and unconditional love. Happy anniversary and Valentine’s Day!
Love, Woody
‘Married at First Sight’ Season 8 Stars Steph Sersen and AJ Vollmoeller
Dear Steph,
On our 6th Valentine’s Day together, I am still just as excited to have you as my permanent Valentine as I was on our first. I still remember the day we decided to take a leap of faith not knowing where our adventure would lead us, but having confidence in each other to make it all work out. Every moment we’ve shared and every challenge we’ve faced has made me realize how deep my love for you truly is. Your unwavering support and the way you light up my life make me grateful every single day. From the laughter and joy to the tears and hard times, we’ve always come out stronger together. One of my favorite parts of our day is going to bed at night and snuggling feet to feel the comfort of knowing we are safe and together. It’s a simple reminder that no matter what happens, we always have each other to hold on to. Here’s to many more years and celebrations of love, laughter and feet snuggles. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love, AJ
Dear AJ,
Happy Valentine’s Day! My loving husband of six years! Thanks for bringing love, laughter and many espresso martinis into my life. Looking forward to many more Valentines with you! Cheers babe! I love you!
Love, Steph

My husbanddd, yes! You’re stuck with me forever. We are forever Valentines and I’m so happy my words aged well. Lol Jkjk. All jokes aside, I can’t see life without you. I’m very proud of you and the man you’re becoming. I LOVE YOU 88.
Love, Shawniece
Dear Shawniece,
In the moments when time sits still and the noise of the world simmers down to a whisper, my mind races to the thoughts of you. You and our family have been woven into my core. Woven in so deeply that I couldn’t fathom a life before or without you. You are a part of me, the best part of me. I love you! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love, Jephte
‘Married at First Sight’ Season 10 Stars Austin Hurd and Jessica Studer
Dear Austin,
Over the past five years, we have made unforgettable memories together and I can’t believe it all started with marrying as complete strangers! We have grown together as a couple and now as a family with the sweetest little boys. I knew I loved you in the first eight weeks, but watching you as a father makes my heart explode. I am so grateful for everything you do for our family and for allowing me to pursue my dreams and passions. Happy Valentine’s Day, I love you today and every day <3.
Love, Jess
Dear Valentine,
It’s been an amazing journey creating a life of our own and then a family together. Our love has grown through it all. Our leap of faith is no longer a leap but us side by side. Love you so much this Valentine’s Day and many more.
Love, Austin
‘Married at First Sight’ Season 5 Stars Ashley Petta and Anthony D’Amico
Dear Anthony,
Happy Valentine’s Day! Since the day we met, you have filled my life with love, joy and countless adventures. I cherish every moment we share and the amazing connection we’ve built together. You are an extraordinary father to our girls and a wonderful dog daddy too! We are all very lucky to have you! I couldn’t imagine this journey with anyone else. Thank you for being my partner, my confidant and my No. 1 supporter.
Love, Ashley
Dear Ashley,
Happy Valentine’s Day to the woman who married me sight unseen and somehow still laughs at my terrible dad jokes. I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for being an amazing wife, mom and partner in crime. Watching you with the girls — how you love them and guide them reminds me every day how lucky I am to have you in my life. And Franky, well, he’s still working on figuring out how to be a “good boy,” but we love him anyway.
You’re my favorite person to share snacks, binge watch shows with, my partner in crime and the reason I’m smiling (even when I’m slightly mad about the lights being left on all the time). I love you more than all the pizza in the world (and that’s saying a lot). Thanks for being my forever Valentine. Love you to the moon and back!
Love, your not so strange anymore stranger husband Anthony

Dear Nicole,
What a crazy adventure we have been on so far. It’s wild we are coming up on three years of marriage. I knew you were the one when I guessed your name and hair color before even meeting you at the altar. You are amazing and absolutely everything to me. You do so much for me and are the absolute best dog mom. You make life fun and exciting, and I wouldn’t want to do life with anyone but you! I love you very much and Happy Valentine’s Day honey!
Love, Chris
My Dear Christopher,
You are the only person who has ever been able to simultaneously make my heart flutter and put my overactive brain at ease. I am grateful for the loyal and amazing man you are and how you make me feel safe, loved and cared for in every way possible. We make a great team — especially as dog parents and when we dominate at Mario Party — and our life together is more magical than I could have ever imagined. Happy 3rd Valentine’s Day together. I love you endlessly.
Love, Your Honey
