Married at First Sight season 16 couples: Meet the cast

Married at First Sight season 16's cast includes two longtime experts who set up the couples: sociologist Dr. Pepper Schwartz and pastor/ marriage counselor Calvin Roberson. They are joined by DeVon Franklin, a Hollywood producer, bestselling author and relationship advisor; and Dr. Pia Holec, a renowned psychotherapist who specializes in sex and couples' therapy. 

The five couples for season 16 hail from the Nashville area. Here are their photos and bios from Lifetime:

Domynique (25, Associate Sales Broker) & Mackinley (34, Director of Operations)

With an excellent education as part of her resumé, Domynique is doing well on her career path, but she thinks the next step is to settle down with someone special. Unfortunately, the bar scene and dating apps are not working out for her as she doubts that is where she’ll meet her perfect match, so she is excited to find out if her soulmate is out there on Married at First Sight.

Mack recently moved to Nashville to pursue new career opportunities as his career always came first. But now, he is ready to settle down and start a family and is looking to Married At First Sight as the best opportunity to find his forever partner.

Gina (35, Salon Owner) & Clint (40, Account Executive)

Gina is well-known throughout the Nashville area as she has worked hard for the past nine years to build her salon business, especially the past four years following a brutal breakup. But now, Gina wants to take her dating life off of pause and turn her focus to finding a man with whom she can dream, travel, and potentially build a family.

An adventurer at heart, Clint is looking for a woman to share his many passions. A lifelong learner, Clint believes that to do anything right, you must learn and listen to experts. He is ready to apply that same thought process to finding a wife, so putting his fate in the matchmakers’ hands isn’t a stretch.

Jasmine (32, Competitive Cheerleading Coach) & Airris (39, Software Engineer Instructor)

Jasmine isn’t ashamed that when it comes to men, she hasn’t made the best choices, so she is happy to turn the decision making over to the experts at Married At First Sight, so she can, hopefully, finally find true, long-lasting love, settle down, and start a family.

With a recent change of careers and a return to his home state of Tennessee, Airris is ready for the next step: finding a wife and starting a family. The software engineer instructor is looking for a strong, independent woman to be his life partner.

Kirsten (32, Real Estate Agent) & Shaquille (31, Executive Director) 

As a nurse, Morgan feels as though her career has prepared her well for an opportunity like Married At First Sight. She is at a point in life where she is ready to settle down; she is stable, knows what she wants in a partner, and is open to the possibility of the experts finding her a man with whom she could easily spend the rest of life.

A successful real estate agent and the “total package,” Kirsten is having trouble finding a man up to her standards, and she isn’t interested in settling for anything less than what she feels she deserves, so she’s hoping the experts can find her a godly man who will not be scared of her success and is willing to grow with her.

Nicole (32, Senior Marketing Advisor) & Christopher (36, Business Coach)

Born and raised in New York City, Nicole moved to Nashville to escape the toxic dating scene in Manhattan, but timing wasn’t on her side. She relocated four weeks before a devastating tornado and six weeks before the world shut down for a pandemic, so she never really had a chance to enjoy her new city. Now she’s ready to focus finding her true love.

Christopher is another Nashville transplant, having moved to the Tennessee city from Chicago three years ago. As a result of COVID restrictions, he has had a difficult time meeting women, and is looking for his one-true love to marry and with whom to start the next chapter of his life.
