TVTV NewsMarried at First SightViewers were left stunned and divided after the Married At First Sight couple announced the news21:37, 28 May 2026Audiences have criticised a Married At First Sight participant for "acting like a teenager" following what they've dubbed the "biggest twist" in the programme's history.‌The American version of the popular reality programme is finally broadcasting to UK viewers on E4. Currently in Season 19, episodes transmit each weekday evening on the channel while also being available to stream on Channel 4.‌It differs somewhat from alternative versions of the programme, including the Australian edition. Not least because there are fewer episodes.‌This current series tracks just five couples, all residing in Austin. They each consent to wed complete strangers upon meeting them for the very first time. Nearing the season's concluding week, most relationships are beginning to encounter their own distinct challenges.Particularly one which is promoted as a series first. Thursday's episode (May 28) witnessed several couples attempting to tackle ongoing difficulties directly. This included the confrontation between Jalyn and Josh, after he faced allegations of dishonesty regarding following a former partner on social media, reports OK!.‌Two experts visited them to assess their progress. The discussion Nevertheless, the most significant revelation was naturally reserved for the episode's closing moments. It's perhaps now abundantly apparent why Meghann and Derek have been discussing families and children throughout the majority of the series.Revealing the announcement on the programme, Derrek stated: "Where do we start? We found out some pretty crazy news today. Some miraculous news, unexpected news. I think we're both nervous." Meghann then interjected: "We're pregnant! And we were not trying - to make that completely known."At that point in their relationship, Derrek was finding it difficult to reciprocate 'I love you' to his wife, explaining he was working towards it. Nevertheless, he revealed to the experts that he eventually said those words during an unfilmed moment.‌He has also acknowledged the pregnancy changed "pretty much everything," while his wife noted that they were both "shocked, scared and happy all at once."Viewers tuning in from home naturally offered their own take on the startling revelation. Some voiced scepticism about how the situation had unfolded.‌One individual posted on a subreddit thread: "Meghann saying they weren't trying to get pregnant. Girl. If you guys weren't using birth control, yeah, you were trying! "Another concurred: "She's nearly 40 and acting like a teenager who doesn't know birth control exists lol."Someone else admitted: "Getting pregnant by someone that I'm not sure I'm actually going to like for the next 18 years is literally my worst nightmare. Throw me inside a volcano or gouge my eyes out."Article continues belowMarried At First Sight USA continues tomorrow at 8pm on E4 and streaming on Channel 4Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Channel 4E4Married at First Sight
