Married At First Sight Couple Jose San Miguel Jr. & Rachel Gordillo Divorce

Married At First Sight (MAFS) Season 16 brings news of a divorce. Of course, it’s not all that uncommon in the Lifetime show. This time, couple Jose San Miguel Jr. and Rachel Gordillo decided to get a divorce. Fans saw that at the Reunion, they decided that would try again, as they formerly split. However, it didn’t work out despite their efforts, and fans pretty much saw that coming from a mile away.

Married At First Sight Works…Occasionally

MAFS fans sometimes claim that counselors on the Lifetime show put the most unlikely couples together. The show selects applicants and then pairs them off, based on their questionnaires, and more. However, often, things just work pan out that easily. In fact, more than once along came an episode titled about divorce. Notable, back in Season 11, an episode carried the title, “We Need To Get A Divorce.” Given that the couples never set eyes on their partner until they walked down the aisle, it’s hardly a massive surprise when things don’t work out.

When Page Six posted about the split on Twitter, Lifetime fans responded in the comments.

Married At First Sight fans on Twitter generally seem very scathing about the show as it so very seldom works out for the couples. One of them commented, “Married at First Sight is just such a fail. Season after season.” This comment also arrived on December 11: “I used to really like married at first sight but i got bored with the same process every season but maybe i need to give it a try again.” Another fan noticed the scarcity of real relationships. They wrote, “I’m just catching up on the latest season of Married at First Sight and …the only ok dude is Gil. Everybody else is acting mad childish and unrealistic.”
