Olajuwon & Katina Defy the Odds: MAFS Couple Building a Life Together After Tumultuous Journey
Married At First Sights’ Olajuwon Dickerson was considered one of the villains of season 14, but his persona off the show is different. Olajuwon, a Municipal Wastewater Operator, looked delighted as he stood opposite Katina Goode, a Benefit Calculation Expert at the altar, to say their vows. Olajuwon, a former playboy searching for a meaningful relationship, looked on his way to achieving that with Katina, who had been on a two-year journey of self-love and personal growth.
Although Katina and Olajuwon’s romance went smoothly during the early days of their honeymoon, things turned frosty, and Olajuwon constantly chided his new bride. The couple would go on to have a dramatic journey on the show, including multiple feuds and breakups. Here’s an update on Olajuwon’s life since then.
Olajuwon & Katina’s MAFS Season 14 Journey
Unlike most couples during MAFS season 14, Olajuwon and Katina’s relationship was the one that kept most fans guessing and wishing that perhaps these two individuals could somehow find a way to bridge the differences that always seemed to separate them. Olajuwon’s overly demanding attitude and criticisms of Katina’s “wife duties” caused the most issues between the couple. Olajuwon expected Katina to be submissive and subservient, judging her value as his wife by how effectively she performed traditional gender roles like cooking his meals.
In contrast to Olajuwon’s toxic behavior during his stint on Married At First Sight season 14, his Instagram page paints the picture of a man who loves having fun with family and friends and is hugely dedicated to his fitness.
Katina also frequently felt the wrath of Olajuwon’s quick temper, exhibited when he found a dating app on her phone. The scandal led to one of their multiple breakups, with Olajuwon accusing Katina of being deceitful and publicly bashing her in the presence of the other couples. Despite Olajuwon’s multiple displays of immaturity and controlling behavior, Katina stayed with him on Decision Day.
What Does Olajuwon’s Instagram Say About Him?
In contrast to Olajuwon’s toxic behavior during his stint on Married At First Sight season 14, his Instagram page paints the picture of a man who loves having fun with family and friends and is hugely dedicated to his fitness. A large portion of the posts on Olajuwon’s Instagram page show him at the gym lifting weights and showing off his ripped and handsomely tattooed body. Olajuwon also frequently captioned his fitness posts with motivational words for his followers.
Meanwhile, despite the shaky nature of his relationship with Katina, Olajuwon doesn’t shy away from showing off their romance on his Instagram page @olajuwon_dickerson. Images of Olajuwon and Katina looking loved up dominate his page, and his quotes about how much he appreciates and loves Katina often accompany these posts. However, despite boasting 49k followers on his Instagram page, Olajuwon has been inactive for a long time, with his last post coming as far back as June 2022.
Are Katina & Olajuwon Still Together?
Katina and Olajuwon’s romance was one of the most unpredictable on Married At First Sight, with numerous breakups and reconciliations, and that seems to have continued since they both left the show. According to reports, Katina and Olajuwon broke up in November 2022 and returned together just a month later. Unsurprisingly, just three months later, the duo were on the outs again, only to be spotted together at a cast mate’s birthday party in April 2023.
A photo of them together in the Bahamas surfaced in June 2023 before Katina’s year-end post in December 2023 confirmed that they were still together. In May 2024, Katina and Olajuwon announced via an Instagram Story that they were in the process of building a house together. Olajuwon and Katina have remained together longer than most Married At First Sight fans expected.
