Married At First Sight season 14’s Chris Collette may not have had an easy time on the series with his MAFS bride, Alyssa Ellman, but what happened to him after the season came to a close? Married At First Sight season 14 saw Chris and Alyssa meeting at the altar and their relationship was fraught quickly after the ceremony ended. While Alyssa has been named one of the most controversial Married At First Sight stars of all time, her relationship with Chris was a sight to be seen. Chris’ patience was tested throughout MAFS season 14, especially in his relationship.
Chris and Alyssa’s marriage wasn’t something that they thought would last, nor did viewers expect the Married At First Sight season 14 couple to make it past Decision Day. Even so, the pair gave their relationship their best shot as long as they could, but their personalities simply didn’t mesh. Alyssa’s behavior toward Chris was criticized throughout the season, and after the fact, many struggled to understand why she treated her MAFS husband the way she did. Fortunately, Chris was able to move on with his life after Married At First Sight season 14, and has changed his life entirely.
Chris & Alyssa’s MAFS Season 14 Journey
Chris and Alyssa’s relationship during Married At First Sight season 14 was a difficult one. Both from Boston, the pair were excited to get to know each other after their wedding ceremony, but things quickly deteriorated after they said “I do.” Chris was open to letting their relationship develop further, but Alyssa wasn’t attracted to her MAFS husband. She made it clear early on that she wasn’t interested in Chris romantically, but would give him hope from time to time that made it seem like she might want to keep trying to connect. Chris wasn’t hopeful and kept his distance.
When their Married At First Sight experience finally came to an end, Alyssa’s personality had been entirely unleashed, and Chris didn’t like what he saw. Both Chris and Alyssa chose to end their marriage right after their honeymoon, not even making it to Decision Day. When it came time for MAFS alumni to weigh in on their relationship, the pair were skewered for how they spoke to and about each other. Alyssa, who was harder on Chris than he was on her, was taken to task by the alumni she spoke to, while Chris was given more of a pass.
What Does Chris Do For Work?
After Married At First Sight season 14, Chris returned to his life in Boston and tried to keep a low profile. Chris moved back into his life and chose to start a new career, getting into real estate. He got his real estate license in 2020 after working as a contractor and construction worker for nearly two decades. Chris sells houses in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire with his real estate group. He explains on his website that he’s certified to sell homes in all three states, and enjoys helping people find the perfect place they can call home.
Chris Is In A New Relationship
Although Chris had a hard time during Married At First Sight season 14, he took his time and got back into the dating scene sometime after the show. Though there aren’t too many details on his new relationship, Chris is currently dating a woman named Emily, who he’s tagged on Instagram in some of his posts. Chris’ relationship is far more private than his relationship with Alyssa was, which is likely better for the former MAFS star. Though Chris is keeping his relationship with Emily more lowkey, he’s featured her enough on his social media to clarify things are serious.
Is Chris Friends With Any MAFS Season 14 Cast Mates?
Although Married At First Sight is typically about the marriages rather than the relationships between the rest of the cast, when the marriages themselves go south, there are often friendships that build between the brides and grooms, respectively. While Chris had a tough time in his relationship with Alyssa, he was able to find genuine friendships in his appearance on MAFS, and he’s been able to stay friends with some of the guys from his season. In recent Instagram posts, Chris has been seen with Mark Maher, who was married to Lindsey Gergoulis on MAFS.
Chris may not have been able to succeed in a relationship on Married At First Sight season 14, but he did build friendships that have lasted long after the show’s end. With Chris having been able to reform his life after the show, he recognized that there was room for growth outside of his relationship with Alyssa. Even with room to grow after the fact, Chris has been able to use Married At First Sight as a stepping stone in his life.
