Married at First Sight season 17 ended in heartbreak for Chloe Brown after her husband Michael Shiakallis said no on Decision Day, but there are updates about Chloe’s post-marital life. Chloe was brought into a unique and unprecedented Married at First Sight situation. A different bride was chosen for Michael originally by the Married at First Sight experts, but that mystery bride ended up being unable to marry a stranger. Michael was willing to try getting married again, and the experts chose Chloe. They thought Chloe’s caring and mature nature with a splash of silly would fit well with Michael.
Michael and Chloe became the only Married at First Sight season 17 couple to consummate their marriage, and their chemistry was instant and enjoyable to watch. Both empaths by nature, the pair struggled to understand their feelings about their marriage and future together. Come Decision Day, Chloe said yes while Michael said no due to being unsure about the idea of marriage and what he was capable of giving Chloe. Their parting was sad but amicable, and there are hints at how 39-year-old Chloe is doing.
Chloe Is A Professional In The Non-Profit Sector
Chloe described herself as a “bleeding heart” in Married at First Sight season 17. Her unselfish character made her ideal for her job as a Senior Director at the American Heart Association in the non-profit sector. There are no signs pointing to a change in career from Chloe. However, she said on the show that her dream was to own an animal sanctuary and foster many children. In her spare time, she volunteers at animal sanctuaries and even got all the Married at First Sight season 17 men to join her.
Chloe Keeps Her Social Media Private
Chloe is on Instagram with the handle @chloemariebrownden. Her page is private but her bio describes, “Love, light, and alchemy.” Michael follows Chloe, and Chloe has only 604 followers, indicating she is selective about who she lets follow her. In the “Where Are They Now?” episode, Chloe revealed that she thought the Married at First Sight season 17 women made a burner account on Facebook with the primary goal of slandering her and saying cruel things.
Among those things, Chloe has been accused of being a “husband stealer.” Chloe’s issues with the other women started over Lauren Goodger and Michael hanging out and Lauren trying to follow him on social media. Lauren described Chloe as being “irate,” and said they were no longer friends. When speaking about the season 17 women, Chloe said they don’t want to heal.
“I wish them love, light, healing and everything they may need to be different people.”
Chloe was accused by Married at First Sight fans of being on the show for clout after she regaled her fellow cast mates with a story about partying with music celebrities during her college days in Florida. Chloe seems far removed from that life now if her demeanor on the show is any indication. Since Chloe’s Instagram is private, there isn’t a way of knowing what kinds of things she posts or how frequently. However, she has appeared on Michael’s Instagram several times in behind-the-scenes clips and outfit shots.
Are Chloe & Michael On Good Terms?
Since Michael and Chloe left things off on a positive note on Married at First Sight season 17’s Decision Day, they only seem to have grown their friendship further (via E! News). A clip was shown of the upcoming Reunion episode during the show’s finale, and it gave a clue as to how the pair are doing.
“What did she do to make doubt creep into your mind? asked Reunion host Kevin Frazier . “Just say it,” Chloe urged Michael.
While there was some tension in the exchange between Chloe and Michael, the pair spoke to each other with respect and spoke highly of each other. Until the Reunion, Chloe and Michael had not seen or spoken in a few months. In the “Where Are They Now” episode, Michael and Chloe met up several times for drinks and they hung out and solidified their friendship during a sanctuary visit they did with all the Married at First Sight season 17 men.
Michael said he got a lot of flak from the season 17 guys about saying no to Chloe because she is such a great catch. While Chloe may have only found contention with the season 17 women, the men have become good friends to her. Chloe has been focusing on the positives in her life like taking care of her senior animals and making time to connect with Michael in their post-Married at First Sight world. Michael even went so far as to gift Chloe an orange sweater she wore of his that Michael thought looked better on her. Chloe was appreciative and elated about the gesture.
