During the November 6 episode of Married at First Sight Season 19, Meghann and Derrek surprised fans by revealing they are expecting a baby. The couple, who recently got married, announced the pregnancy just weeks after their wedding.
“We found out some pretty crazy news today. Some miraculous news, unexpected news,” Derrek shared with the cameras. “I think we’re both nervous.”
Meghann added, “We’re pregnant! And we were not trying — to make that completely known.”
This marks the first time in the franchise’s history that a match has become pregnant during the show’s initial eight-week experiment.
Derrek reflected on the change: “We’ve got a lot, a lot to talk about now. This changes pretty much everything for us.” Meghann expressed mixed emotions: “We’re shocked, scared and happy all at once.”
The season began on October 23 with experts Pastor Cal Roberson and Dr. Pia Holec matching ten singles in Austin, Texas. Each participant agreed to marry a stranger at the altar, followed by romantic honeymoons to get to know one another better.
After honeymoon, the couples moved in together as husband and wife, with cameras capturing their lives over eight weeks. The next episode features all couples attending a couples retreat.
