Author: Alex RossPublished 15th Sep 2026

Johnny Balbuziente and Kerry Knight are a true success story from Married At First Sight! The pair, who were matched on the eighth Australian series back in 2020, sailed through the experiment and got married for real in 2023.

After welcoming their first child into the world in June 2024, the happy couple have now announced the exciting news that they are expanding their little family.

Revealing Kerry is pregnant with the couple's second child with a cute video starring their daughter Chloe, the pair wrote: '"Whackadoodle baby sister”, as Chloe has affectionately named her, is on her way to join our family. See you in the new year, little lady 🩷🌷

'It’s not lost on us how lucky we are. Posting this with thought and much love to everyone still on the path to growing their little family.

'KB, JB, CB x'. (sic)

Check out which other couples from MAFS Australia are still together:

Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant: Series 6

Oh, Cameron and Jules. From the minute Jules and Cam had their first wedding dance without any music, we had an inkling they were in it for the long haul. And we were right! The pair got married properly after the show, and they are now proud parents to sons Ollie and Carter.

Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli: Series 6

Martha and Michael were an extremely drama free pair (in comparison to everyone else) so it's no shock that they have actually managed to stay together. They are now living together in Sydney whilst becoming full-time influencers. The couple are now engaged and welcomed a son called Lucius in February 2023.

After announcing in 2025 they were expecting their second child, Martha gave birth to a baby girl called Sunday Maria Brunelli in March 2026. The happy couple announced the news on social media with some adorable photos, writing: 'Our girl is here. Sunday Maria Brunelli, two weeks early and completely perfect. We are smitten'.

Melissa Rawson and Bryce Ruthven: Series 8

Despite Bryce repeatedly putting down Melissa's appearance during the show and more dramatic showdowns than we've had hot dinners - the on-off couple are surprisingly stronger then ever. The pair welcomed twin boys called Levi and Tate in 2021, before getting married for real in February 2023.

Kerry Knight and Johnny Balbuziente: Series 8

Kerry and Johnny were an intruder couple on series eight of MAFS Aus, and following a pretty drama free experiment, the pair left the show as an official couple. The pair went to get married for real in January 2023, before welcoming a daughter called Chloe Rossi Balbuziente in June 2024.

In September 2026, the couple announced they were expecting their second child, a baby girl due in early 2027.

Jade Barredo and Ridge Pywell: Series 11

Jade and Ridge entered the MAFS experiment as an intruder couple during the 11th series in 2023. The couple made it all the way to the final vows and have remained together to this day. In May 2024, Ridge announced he'd moved in with Jade and her daughter Victoria, and the pair have spoken about getting married for real in the future.
