Married at First Sight’s Cameron Mitchell and Michelle Le have every reason to celebrate their love story one year after Decision Day.
“I’m just so grateful for taking a leap of faith,” Michelle exclusively tells Us after viewers learned during the Thursday, August 27, finale and reunion that she is still with her match. “I really wanted to find my partner and just was not having any luck. I’m forever grateful to [the show’s experts] Paul Brunson and Dr. Lisa Paz and all of the advice that they gave us and all of the advice that we received from the other couples too.”
Back in July, viewers of Peacock’s reality show watched Cameron and Michelle go from strangers to husband and wife.
For two months, cameras rolled as the newlyweds fell in love and made the decision to stay married on the show’s finale — better known as Decision Day.
“I’m super grateful that I agreed to go on this show, and super grateful for the matchmakers for matching me with such an amazing woman,” Cameron tells Us. “Being vulnerable is hard, but in the end, it pays off.”
Since filming wrapped nearly a year ago, Cameron and Michelle’s bond has grown even deeper as they navigated a long-distance marriage.
In a couple of weeks, Michelle will be moving to Northern California, where Cameron recently got a new job.
“I’ve always wanted to move to California, so I’m very excited to move to the Bay Area,” Michelle shares with Us. “We’re just excited to finally be in one spot and not have this back and forth of us not really knowing where we’re gonna end up. We’ll just be a little bit more settled and starting our life, and then looking into the surrogacy process. I think we’re just really excited.”
Since cameras stopped rolling, Cameron has kept in touch with Nick Uhlenhuth, while Michelle is part of a group chat with all the ladies who participated in the social experiment.
While viewers couldn’t deny the chemistry Cameron and Michelle had with each other beginning with their honeymoon, the couple is proud to say they’ve learned even more admirable traits about the other in recent months.
As a result, both parties say their love has only gotten stronger.
“I think my favorite thing is that Cameron is so attentive and attentive to me. He remembers everything about me,” Michelle shares with Us. “He is always so interested in knowing how my day is going. … He also proposed to me as well because we didn’t want to lose out on that experience. That just meant the world to me.”
Cameron added, “I think the biggest thing for me is seeing how Michelle lights up any room she goes into. Everyone she meets, she makes them feel important. … She puts smiles on people’s faces. I love getting to have those moments, and be like, ‘Wow, what an incredible woman.’”
Married at First Sight season 20 (produced by Kinetic Content) is currently streaming on Peacock.
