ADAM and Tayah Aveling met as strangers at the altar while taking part in E4’s ‘Marriage at First Sight’ experiment in 2021.

But while many of the show’s unions have faded over time, it has strengthened, as they have become the most celebrated couples in the history of the experiment.

After welcoming their daughter Beau in October 2022, they have now revealed that they are expecting their second child.

But Tayah has revealed that she felt very sick in the early stages, which was different to her first pregnancy.

In an interview with OK magazine, she said:

“I was so tired and felt really sick. I was never physically sick when I had Beau, but it’s a constant feeling this time,” she reveals, with her due date set for April 2025. “I’m starting to feel better now .”

Last Christmas the couple had a proper wedding away from the TV cameras, renew their vows with their family and friends present

Adam said it just felt like a more intimate affair for close friends and family. He said: “We’ve always been close, but our second wedding was more like a big family party. Tay and I already felt like we were married anyway, even if our scenario was a little weird.

And Tanya added: “Well, the second wedding didn’t change that much. We felt like husband and wife when we left MAFS – but I wouldn’t say no to a third wedding (laughs). I actually struggled a bit with our wedding last year , I still wasn’t in the best place mentally (after having Beau), I wish I could have just enjoyed the moment.”

The couple, who both entered the experiment back in 2021 with positive attitudes, admit they are still surprised to have found a soul mate from reality TV.

“We were talking about it the other day actually. How we both had a gut feeling that it would be a positive experience for us. But if someone told me when I applied that I would meet my legal husband and the father of my children, I wouldn’t have believed them.”

But while they haven’t followed much of the current series, Tanya admits with relief that they starred in the show before social media became such an integral part of the process.

“Adam and I said we’re glad we did it before sharing everything on social media was necessarily a thing. All I see on TikTok is just people talking negatively about the actor. I feel for them, I think it has to be tough. We open ourselves up to criticism, but I think it’s a fine line.”

This Christmas, the Doncaster-based couple will celebrate the one year anniversary of their real wedding at home with friends and family.

After tying the knot a few days after Christmas last year, Tanya admits she is looking forward to a less hectic holiday season.

She says: “There was full focus on the wedding and although we will be celebrating our one year anniversary, this one we will be spending time with family.
