The Truth About Jessica And Austin From Married At First Sight

If you've seen an episode of Lifetime's "Married At First Sight," you know how it works. Optimistic singles talk to a team of experts in hopes of having their perfect match selected for them from a pool of eligible bachelors and bachelorettes. Once the couples are matched, the series follows their journey from wedding planning and walking down the aisle, to moving in together and merging lives (via Lifetime). According to Distractify, the show has a success rate of approximately 30%, but participants are willing to take the gamble on a happily ever after. While many couples don't remain married, some seem to be a perfect match. Among those are Austin Hurd and Jessica Studer, fan favorites from Season 10 of the show (via People).

Ohio native Studer had no idea what she was in for when she met her new husband, Hurd, of Maryland, at the altar. Both were looking for a marriage built to last, according to Lifetime. While their interactions were far less versatile than their castmates at times, the two did have their fair share of issues. Hurd felt unable to tell his new wife "I love you" for quite some time, and Studer didn't love how often work required her husband to leave town. Nevertheless, they persisted and chose to stay married on Decision Day, the day on which cast members meet with the experts and decide whether or not to continue their marriage. Following the show, fans have wondered how the couple is doing.

Since the cameras stopped rolling on Jessica Studer and Austin Hurd after their televised 2019 wedding, the pair have enjoyed wedded bliss. The couple regularly posts cute photos and tributes to each other on Instagram, and they've been living happily together. According to Us Magazine, the pair has continued to share their relationship milestones, including getting a dog and purchasing a new home together. Earlier this year, the couple announced that the Hurd household would be welcoming a new member.

The announcement of Studer's pregnancy came in July of 2021, sparking much speculation about the gender of the baby and when, exactly, the couple would be welcoming their new baby. Studer enjoyed her pregnancy alongside her twin sister who is also expecting a baby this year, according to Us Magazine. Fans were elated to find out that Studer gave birth on November 3, 2021 to a baby boy named Paul Westin Hurd. The infant weighed 7 pounds, 12 ounces at birth and measured 20 inches in length. Hurd and Studer told People, "We're ALL doing great and are healthy just very tired. Thrilled to finally meet him and excited to bring him home." Mom, dad, and baby all seem to be doing well and enjoying their new lives as a family, and we're excited to see what life has in store for this "Married At First Sight" couple.
