Life After Filming

• Personal Growth

---

Why Join Married at First Sight?

• Long-Time Fan and Faith-Based Decision
  • Applied multiple times, first in 2020 after losing her sister.
  • "I'm a faith-based person... I said, God, if this is the way that you want me to meet my husband, let's go for it." (Brittany, 03:24)
  • The appeal: starting with commitment, unlike “situationships”: "I'm a very committed person... If I set my mind to do anything, I'm going to commit to it 100%." (Brittany, 05:47)

The Relationship with Will

First Impressions and Initial Chemistry

• Brittany was very attracted to Will at the altar:
  • "The first thing I saw were your lips. I saw your lips. And I was like, okay, yeah, this is really good." (Brittany, 12:49)
  • Felt instant chemistry, noting “I was very satisfied with how things played out.” (Brittany, 16:38)

Communication: The Central Struggle

• Major source of tension: clashing communication and love languages.
  • “We just kept missing each other... I went in with expectations of what I thought a husband should do... I was not prepared for someone like Will.” (Brittany, 18:10)
  • Brittany: expressive, searching for depth; Will: calm, analytical, reserved.
  • "It comes out... we always joke like, oh, that's a Willism... When you try to have a conversation with him... he’s processing everything that I'm saying, and he's spitting out... whatever he’s processed." (Brittany, 22:27–22:55)
  • Memorable comparison: "It's like a computer in there." (Brittany, 22:55)

Impactful Moments & Turning Points

• Intimacy & The Emotional Fallout

  • After their first intimate moment, Brittany had a “freak out moment,” needing reassurance Will was unprepared to give:
    • "I needed... 'hey, I don’t regret that...' In very Will fashion, he jumped to a solution... right? And I took that as a little bit of rejection." (Brittany, 09:01–10:44)

• Dealing with Will’s Work Travel

  • Brittany was not only fine with his travel schedule, she appreciated the chance to have time alone and build connections with other cast members.
    • "I prayed for a man that travels for work. I don’t need to be up under him 24/7." (Brittany, 11:00)

• Faith and Compatibility

  • Non-negotiable for Brittany: Religion and family orientation. She learned early on that Will was not actually religious, which was very tough:
    • "I have to be with someone that will put God first... I was very adamant about that... It was interesting to navigate finding out [he wasn't religious]." (Brittany, 13:47)
    • Family orientation: Will “loves his family.”

• Feeling Unloved/Unchosen

  • At times, Brittany internalized their struggles as a personal rejection:
    • "...I internalized that as, 'Well, maybe I'm not his person.' Because I feel like if you're with someone and they're your person, you should feel comfortable..." (Brittany, 25:44)

---

The Breakup & Aftermath

• Decision Day Bombshell

  • Will calls Brittany at 6:26 AM to say he’s going to say “No,” blindsiding her:
    • "He calls me… and he says, 'Hey, just want to let you know I’m going to say no.' I was just so— I was like, 'what?'" (Brittany, 30:29)
  • Hours before, they’d had a loving dinner and exchanged gifts—she was utterly shocked.

• On-Camera Reversal

  • Will changed his answer to “Yes” after conversations with the experts, but Brittany still felt destabilized:
    • "I was happy, obviously, when he said yes… but when we were walking out together, I asked him, ‘Are you secure in your yes?’ And he says, ‘yes.’" (Brittany, 34:44)
    • Will left immediately for work, leaving Brittany alone and anxious.

• Final Split: Cold and Abrupt

  • After a week of awkwardness, Will returned home with a suitcase and declared:
    • "He sits down, and he looks at me. He says, 'I don’t wanna do this anymore.'... He gets up, walks to the closet... 'I don't care about you. I don't care about you.' Very cold. Very bizarre." (Brittany, 37:09–37:57)
  • Will later explained he needed to be that harsh to make the breakup stick.

• Trust Issues & Miscommunication

  • A bizarre moment: Will suspected Brittany thought he was cheating with a producer, which was unfounded and never addressed satisfactorily.

---

Post-Show & Reunion

• Aftermath and Healing

  • No contact with Will for over a year and a half.
  • Focused on self-work: "I did a whole bunch of therapy after the breakup. Shout out to therapy." (Brittany, 45:41)

• Reunion Insights

  • Seeing Will again: “It was good to see him... but there was no unresolved feelings." (Brittany, 45:23–45:42)
  • Easily slipped back into comfortable banter during reunion, which surprised Brittany.
  • Post-reunion: shared a three-hour heartfelt conversation with Will, apologizing, expressing mutual appreciation, and providing closure.
    • "I didn’t know I needed that… but actually having that conversation with him, I realized I needed to know we were good." (Brittany, 50:08)

---

Key Learnings & Takeaways

• Self-Discovery

  • “I learned... not to internalize things... not everyone is going to show up how I show up, and that's not a good thing, it's not a bad thing. It's just... I need to appreciate everyone's uniqueness.” (Brittany, 52:10)
  • Brittany’s relationship with Will highlighted her need for self-grace and reflection.

• No Regrets

  • "I needed to experience everything that happened... I needed everything to go that way in order for me to be the person that I am today." (Brittany, 53:44)

[Host of What's the Reality?]

What's the reality? What's the reality? Hello. Hello, and welcome to another episode of what's the Reality? You guys, I am so excited. I have a very special guest with me today. We have Brittany from Married at first sight, season 19.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Hello. Hi.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Welcome to what's the Reality?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. Of course.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

You look amazing. Thank you. I was just telling you that I was just binging the show, and I'm in a whirlwind, so I can imagine how you are. You're fresh off the reunion. Okay. How are you feeling now that the season's wrapped and everything is out in the open?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

It feels great. I mean, I just feel like we filmed it so long ago, and so there was this anticipation. So it was like, okay, we filmed it, and then there was. We're thrown back into reality, and it's like, okay, when's it going to dare? Like, when's. When's everything going to come out? And so it's just been kind of a whirlwind watching everything.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

How.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

When did you guys film?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

February of 2024. 2024. 2024. Yeah. So over a year and a half ago.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So you lived a life in between?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I was like, I've lived two lives.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Oh, my God. Okay, well, tell me what life has been like for you.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, no, it's been great. This is definitely the best that I've been. I. New place, new car, new job, newness. You know, lost 30 pounds. Like, it's just been. It's been really great.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah. For Those who may not know you be on the show, how would you like to describe yourself outside of married at first sight?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Oh, man. Well, I'm less chaotic. Less chaotic than what you see.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

You are not chaotic, girl.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I was. I don't know.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

There was chaos.

[Mira Advertiser]

There was chaos.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

You were not chaotic.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I don't know, I kind of just like to describe myself as just open, bubbly, you know what I think is what I say, I am who I am. I love to work out, I love my family, I love being around my friends. I'm just. I don't know, I kind of think that I'm a ball of energy, that I just like to have fun. But I'm also a little introverted, so I know when I need to go back and I need to relax and kind of just do my own thing. Okay.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Relatable?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah. Okay.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So what made you decide to take the leap of faith and join the experiment and marry a complete stranger?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

When you say it like that, that sounds a little insane, huh? A little. I think for me, I was just at a place where I felt secure in myself and dating was not going well. I think on the show I said, like, I've been in relationships or situationships that don't make it past three months and I am, I'm a faith based person. Like, my faith is everything to me. And I said, God, if this is the way that you, you know, want me to meet my husband, let's go for it. I was a fan of the show for many years and just looking at the couples that have made it, I said, why can't I have that right? If this is the way that I'm supposed to meet my person, why, you know, why not? It's possible. It's out there and it's bold, it's unique. It's just kind of my personality, it's something that I would do. So took the leap of faith and what an experience, right?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay, so tell us more about your casting process. How was it like joining the show?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, so it was very long. It was a long, long casting process.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Did you apply or did they.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I did apply. Okay. I applied. So I actually applied a few years back, I think in 2020 for the Houston season, because I was living in Houston at the time and again, been a fan of the show. I was 25 years old at the time. Just lost my. My sister. She passed away that year. So looking back, I'm like, okay, I'm glad it didn't happen then, but the casting process was really long. I did apply for the show and I don't know, it's. It allowed me to. I think at that point I knew I wanted to be married. I wanted a husband. But just going through the process, it really solidified that for me. It was a lot of, you know, having to reflect, okay, you want a husband, but what does that look like? Like, what exactly do you want? And having to be really firm and upfront about that.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Wait, so time out. So from 2020 to getting cast in 2020.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

20, 24, 4.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

What was happening between there that you were like, actually, no, I still want to try again and I still want to get back on TV and still want to marry a stranger. Nothing changed in between. Like, I'm still.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I'm Like, I'm still. I'm still down for it. Like, I'm still gonna take the leap. But I had a couple of situations. Yeah. Situationship. See, I was gonna go relationships, but there were situationships and it was just not.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

It. Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

You know, not. They didn't work out, obviously. And I. I think what's important for me and why I like the show and why it resonated with me so much is that you're starting with commitment. Yeah. Right off the jump. And I feel like for the situationships that I've been in, they. It was always wishy washy. Right. Like, there was no commitment. And I'm a very committed person. Like, if I set my mind to do anything, I'm going to commit to it. 100. That's just my intense. Right. Kind of personality. And I said, okay, we're starting with commitment. So surely the person on the other side of this, if I match, they're going to have the same level of commitment. Right. And so from there, and there's going to be some sort of commonality. Right. Because the experts are matching us. Right. And we're giving them all this information about us. So starting with commitment, there should be some sort of compatibility. I'm like, this is. This is good. Why not? Check, check, check, check, check. Right. So, yeah, okay. I could see.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

I could see how you would be on the show and how you'd be great for this show. Thank you. Because, I mean, like, obviously I did love is blind.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Right.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And it's a little bit different. Like, we get. We don't see the person. So it starts off like, are you committed? Is this what you want?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Blah, blah, blah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And then you see, and then everything kind of unfolds from there. But I always think, like, could I Be married at first sight.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

That's so funny you say that, because I think, could I do. Love is blind. I'm like talking to a wall. I'm like, I don't know. I talk to myself and I have great conversations with myself. So I'm like, well, maybe I could talk to a person on the other side of the wall. But it's the.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Imagine if Will was on the other side of the wall. Do you think?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

You know, that is a great question. Because obviously, as you have seen, our communication issues are just apparent. Like blaring, like glazing. We're getting into that. We're going to get into that.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

We're going to get into that. Okay. So before you and I dive any deeper into the season, I wanted to bring my trusted married at first sight consultant and super fan, Brittany. You are her favorite from the season, I can't lie.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Oh, wow.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Everyone, please welcome back my sister and bestie, Tesh. Hi, sister.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Hello.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Welcome back to what's the Reality?

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Thank you for having me back.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay, so Tesh, Brittany and I are actually filming this interview before the entire season has aired. So you've only seen up through like episode seven, but I know you've been keeping up. So I know you have a list of questions that you want to ask. So I'm going to lay the floor to you and I'm just going to sit back and rub my belly. So you guys chat for a sec.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Lay it on me. Hi. Hi.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Okay, let's get into it.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Let's do it.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Okay, so my first question is, after being intimate with your husband, there was a shift that we all saw and that you experienced. Are you able to share exactly what that shift was?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

What happened?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Coming in hot.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

That's a. Okay. Sorry. She wants to know. Okay.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

My job.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

That's a great question. Yeah. So it was kind of an awkward moment, right? I think. Not the intimacy part. We were. It felt right. It was, it was natural.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

We, we were in the moment, you know, being grown. We're being grown. We're like protection. What is that? I don't know what that is.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And you know, and I'm married.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

And I'm married, you know, pulling out. What is that? What does that mean? I don't know. Right. So all of those things. And I kind of had a moment afterwards of, oh, shit, what did we just do? I don't. It was, it was an emotional time for me. I had a freak out moment. It's the first time I was intimate in a really, really Long. And I think in those moments, I needed. Hey, I don't regret that. Like, we. It was both of our decisions. Like, we're fine. Let's kind of talk about this. And in very Will fashion, he kind of jumped to a solution of, well, hey, let's not. Let's not do that again, right? And I was still getting to know him at the time, so I kind of took that as, like, so you just. You don't want to do that again? Like, you don't want to be intimate with me again? I think it was in what you've probably seen is our communication was just, I'm going this way, he's going this way. And we're not on the same track, right? We're not really understanding one another. And I took that as a little bit of rejection. Whereas I think the space that he was coming from was, I saw that you just had a moment. Let's take our time with that, and let's, you know, go. Go a little bit slower. I didn't see that. Then I was like, we just had this moment. I'm like, what if I end up pregnant? Like, you know, sure, I'm married, but we just met one another, so it was just a lot going on in that moment.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

That makes sense. Some context. Some exact context. So thank you. Yeah. Okay, so my next question is, so we see that your new husband travels a lot for work. How were the days without him for you? Was it refreshing to not have him there?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

So actually, during the wedding, there was a moment where I talked to his mom, and she told me. She was like, you know, will travels for his work, and he. He's gonna need someone that's okay with that, and that is, you know, not going to want to be around him all the time. And I said, I've prayed for a man that, you know, that travels for work. I don't need to be all up under him, you know, 24 7. So I actually had no issues with him traveling. I thought it was a little bit refreshing. I. I just did my own thing, you know, I remember someone asked me, well, what are you gonna do while Will is gone for work? And I said, well, I'm gonna do what I was doing before I met Will. And it was also great just having the other cast members as well. I got really close with a lot of them. Megan and I are still besties, so I. I almost feel like they took me in. I went. So I was like, okay, Will's gone Monday through Thursday. So Monday night, I'm gonna Go to Megan and Derek's place, and they're gonna cook me dinner. And then Tuesday, I'm gonna go to Chad and Belinda and they're gonna cook me dinner. So it's almost like they took me in, basically. But it was great. And I also thought that we kind of have an opportunity to miss each other. You know, being in this kind of unique environment where we are. Our relationship is on hyperspeed, and we're having to be around each other, one another the entire time. I thought this little break, and especially because we were having a little bit of conflict, I thought that the break was actually much needed. And so whenever he did come back home, it was always like, oh, babe, I missed you. And, you know, I used to write him, like, these cute little letters.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

You guys are so Lovey Dovey on FaceTime too. I was like, okay, yeah, she needed a little break.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I need a little break. I needed to, like, miss him for sure.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Okay, so my next question is, if you saw Will on a dating app or on a night out, would he be your type?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I think so. Yeah, I was. When I first saw him, I was like, actually, so I'm walking down the steps, right? Walking to the altar, and then I peeked over. I was like, you know, I was like, let's just. Let's just see what I'm. What I'm getting into. And I saw. I peeked over, and the first thing I even told him that I said the first thing I saw were your lips. I saw your lips. And I was like, okay, yeah, this is really good. So he's very handsome. Like, he is very attractive. I think I said that a few times on the show. I'm like, damn, he's. He's fine. So. And I really believe. I'm like, we actually look really good together. So, yeah, if I saw.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

I think so too.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah. Oh, thank you. I'm like, if I saw him be like, oh, yeah, you're. You're it.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Okay.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

I love that. Okay. And my final question is, what were some of your non negotiables for the experts when choosing a partner for yourself? And do you feel like Will was a good match based on those requirements?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Ooh, I like that question. That's a good one. Going deep, going deep. So my non negotiables were number one. I needed someone religious. My faith is really important to me. I needed someone who believes in God, loves Jesus, you know, kind of all of that. And another non negotiable was I needed someone who values commitment. And then Also someone who is family oriented. And so Will loves his family. So we'll start there. The commitment thing, I was kind of still testing out through. Through our relationship, and we had a conversation about religion actually the second day. So that's not something that that's aired. When I found out that he wasn't actually religious. And so that was tough for me because I. I fully believe and I'm going to. I stand by this. I. I have to be with someone that will put God first and then everything else will fall into place. Like, I need a man that will lead according to the way God intends for a man to lead. And I was very adamant about that. And so it was just interesting to. To navigate finding out that understanding. He grew up, you know, in the church. He grew up like he knows the entire Bible but going down the path of, you know, he's doesn't know if he believes in God. So that was actually interesting to watch back. That entire scene where he's talking. Talking to your dad, or he's talking to my dad about religion, and he's like, and the crusades and blah, blah, blah. And my poor dad was just like, oh, what? Like his face? And my mom, so my mom was like, she was very quiet because I knew in her mind she was like, oh, no, this is not going to work.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay, well, just as I knew you would. You came through for me. You came through for us. I hope you got your questions answered. Do you feel satisfied with that?

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Completely. I'm so excited. I can't wait to see the rest of how it all turns out for you.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Thank you.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Thank you for joining and thank you for helping me with these questions.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

And thank you so much for being a fan of the show. Like, really, really appreciative of that.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Yeah, like, I'm a super fan. I really wish I could tone it down, but I can't.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

When they do Married at first sight, single moms, we're having her on.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Oh, there we go.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

They have to call me. Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Well, all right.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Love you, sister.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Love you.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Bye.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Nice to meet. Thank you.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Nice to meet you.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay, so let's go back to wedding day. You kind of touched on it a little bit with my sister, but what was your first impression of Will when you first met him at the altar?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, obviously, like, when I first saw him, I was like, yeah, he's. He's really handsome. He's very attractive. I thought there was instant chemistry between us, I think. I mean, obviously we were both nervous. We're meeting a stranger. We're actually meeting our spouse at the altar, it's still wild to even think about, but I thought that we had instant chemistry. I was very. I was very satisfied. I think I was more than satisfied with how things played out.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Do you know how he got on the show? Was he, like, approached? Did he apply?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I think he was approached.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I remember him saying he was knowing Will. I don't see him applying for. I don't see him applying for. For Married at first sight. No.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Do you know if he had heard about the show or so.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I know. No, he didn't. I know. He actually never watched the show.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Interesting.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

So actually, in preparation for the honeymoon, we watched a couple of Honeymoon. Yeah. Episodes from previous seasons. And at the end, he goes, yeah, I don't think we should have watched that. That did nothing, too. I'm trying, like, my best Will voice, like, yeah, I don't think we should have watched that. That did nothing too.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

But he knew the concept.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

He knew it.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Okay.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah.

[Mira Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Okay.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So he was prepared for what he was getting into.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

He was pre. I don't think he was prepared for you. Me. Yeah, but he was prepared.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay. So communication seemed to be a really big struggle for the both of you throughout the entire marriage. Why do you think that was so hard for you both?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I think. And he made a really good point of saying this. We just kept missing each other. I think in the beginning, I went in with expectations of what I thought a husband should do and should, like, how he should show up, which is obviously unfair. But I didn't even realize I had those expectations. I kind of thought that, oh, it's normal, because we're starting with commitment. Right. So obviously this person wants to be married. And I thought that it would be. We would just vibe and kind of be. Be on the same page. I was not prepared for someone like Will. Will is very unique. Our communication styles are very different. Our personalities are very different. So I was not ready for that, and I think that showed. And same for Will. He was obviously not prepared for me, and so a lot of times it was okay. I'm just trying to understand you, and I have to do that in my way. And my way is to. To push and ask questions like, are you happy? What do you. What do you want to do? Like, what do you, like, tell me things about you so that I know how to show up for you. And for Will, it was more, I'm just gonna, you know, be calm, and I'm gonna try to ask you questions about you. Although in the beginning I felt like the questions he were asking were, like, surface. L. What's your favorite color? It's pink. Yeah. I think he asked me at the dinner, what's your favorite, like, comic book hero? And I was like, okay, like, we're on a honeymoon and you want to know my favorite comic book?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So you kind of wanted to dive deeper.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I did, yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And he was just like, I still don't know you.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yes.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Tell me your favorite color.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Exactly.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah. And you were like, we can circle back to that. Yeah. Interesting.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I wanted this, like, intense passion. Like, we see each other and it's just love at first sight. And, you know, we're on the honeymoon and we're asking deep questions. Questions as we are walking on the beach holding hands. And, you know, and for him, it was, whoa, this is a lot. I'm very overwhelmed. Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

You two also seem to have very different love languages and ways of expressing yourselves. Did you notice that right away?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yes.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah, Absolutely.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah. What did he say? He said, well, it seems like you. You clearly need words of affirmation. I'm like, sure, okay. But, yeah. And I think that I was trying to understand what, you know, what are your love languages? Like, how do you want me to show up for you as your wife? And in the beginning, I don't feel like I. I don't even know if he actually ever gave me an answer.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Don't think he did.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah. And so that was just difficult for me because here I am. It made. My approach was probably a little bit pushy. And once I felt like I wasn't getting what I needed, maybe I shut down a little bit or I got a little sassy, and in turn, he shut down because, okay, here's Britney with her reactions, and I don't know how to handle that.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay. So throughout the season, I kind of see you being like, you're very unique. You're very. You. You're very different. You are very. And how is he different? Is he, like, completely different from anyone that you've dated before? Like, what makes him so unique that you had to keep saying, you are very.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

You.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Indifferent?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah. Completely different from anyone that I've ever dated. It's interesting because the. The men that I've dated before, they. I guess my type kind of just changes. But I felt like they all had this common theme of, okay, they. You know, they say they're into me, so, like, they kind of just show up that way. They put a lot of effort in the beginning, and so our intensity always matched. And I think what happens is why we never got past, you know, three months, is maybe that flame kind of burnt out very quickly. And so with Will, like, he likes to intern, not internalize. That's actually me. He. That was me. He likes to think.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

About things. And you can actually see him thinking process. He likes to process things. And the way that it comes out is we always joke like, oh, that's a Willism. Or, oh, that's a very Will answer.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Because you started seeing the cast catch on.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

It's just when you try to have a conversation with him, he's just.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

He's analyzing it.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Analyzing in the moment, but it's. It's happening real time.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

And it seems like it's like. It's like a computer.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

In there. And he's processing the information. It's like he's processing everything that I'm saying, and he's spitting out the, you know, the. The information. Like he's. He's spitting out whatever he's processed in his brain, which is very interesting. And I think once I started to understand that that's one of the things that I liked about him, I grew to understand that that's you. I don't want to change you. It may seem that way because I'm not understanding that, you know, if you're happy about something, you're supposed to show your emotions, or at least that's what I felt. And I felt like I never understood what. What his emotions were, so I just made for just very interesting conversations.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Speaking of emotions.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

There are moments where it looked like you were really struggling with how Will communicated his emotions. Looking back now, what do you think was behind the tension for you?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

It was not understanding that he needed to show his emotions the way that he needed to show his emotions. For me, I wear everything on my sleeve. I wear everything on my face. If I'm happy, you know it. If I'm sad, you know it. If I'm mad, you know it for him. And I think I told Pastor Kao, I said, I don't know if he's happy, if he's mad, if he's sad. Because he's just here.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah. And that's on and off camera.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

On and off camera. It's very difficult to navigate because I don't know. I don't know how you're feeling in these moments, which just made everything difficult for me because I'm someone that I feed off of feedback and I kind of feed off of energy. And if I don't know how you're Feeling in these moments like, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. And when I don't know what to do, you see, I get overwhelmed and I get frustrated. Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Were there any moments that made you question if Will was actually ready for marriage?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I can't say every day.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Huh?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

No.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, there were. There were moments.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Anything in particular?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I started to qu. I questioned our relationship, obviously, during the honeymoon, But I think when I started to question if he's actually ready for marriage more so once we broke up and, like, how. How we broke up, I started to ask myself, well, or at least I started to realize I don't think he was ever really ready for marriage anyway. Because my definition of commitment is, okay, we're in this, we're married, and that's it. Now we're committed to one another. And I think in the way that we broke up, the fact that it was so abrupt and he was able to just completely detach himself to me, I said, that's not someone that actually wanted to be married in the first place.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

At one point, I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, I thought you mentioned that maybe he just didn't like you or that you weren't the one.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Do you feel like he wasn't ready for marriage, or do you think he just.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

It just was you in the moment? I definitely thought it was me. And that was me actually internalizing a lot of things because Will actually never set. Never said that. He never said, you know, maybe I'm just not ready for this. Or you're too much now. Maybe in the way he handles certain things, that's how I like. Those were the assumptions that I made, but those are things that he actually never said to me, and I think so during the retreat, I was just having this moment of why can't he open up to me? You know, we've. We've been in this. We know a little bit more about each other, and why can't he open up to me? Why can't I break through? And I internalize that as well. Maybe I'm not his person. Because I feel like if you're with someone and they're your person, you should feel comfortable. Like, you're going to feel comfortable around them. You're going to want to open up to them. You're going to want to volunteer information to them. Yeah, that's what I believed. And so the fact that he was not able to do that, I just thought, I don't know, you know, maybe I'M not his person and I know that he's been in relationships before, so, like, long term. Yeah. So I'm like, has he been able to do that before? And it's just for some reason he can't do it with me? A plus B equals C. That means that maybe I'm not his person. Yeah. Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

It was clear how much you loved and cared for Will, which made decision day really hard to watch. How blindsided were you when he called that morning to tell you it was going to be a no?

[Marshalls Advertiser]

Together over your holiday favorites at Starbucks.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Warm up with a creamy caramel brulee latte, get festive with an iced gingerbread.

[Marshalls Advertiser]

Chai or share a velvety peppermint mocha.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Together is the best place to be at Starbucks. Completely. Yeah, completely. We had dinner the day before, like the night before. And he actually. So he showed up and he bought me a gift and dinner was great. And we had a conversation actually, where he said, I don't want any surprises.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Oh.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

And I said, there are no surprises. He's like, you know, it's clear that we're gonna say yes because we, the last two weeks were our best moments. We were in it. We were, we very little conflicts. Like we were in love. Like we were all the things, all the things that I wanted to feel in the beginning and obviously it just needed to happen on its natural. Yeah, it's natural pace. And so for him, when he said, I don't want any surprises, I'm going into this and I'm like, of course there's no surprise. Like we're going to say yes. And like this is going to be easy peasy. And I kind of had a feeling. So after dinner, you know, he went to his place and I went back to our, our shared apartment and I text him. We were talking about, oh, like what are you going to wear? And then maybe a couple hours later I was going to sleep and I text him good night. He didn't respond. So in my mind I said, okay, he's probably already asleep already. I text him the next morning because I woke up early to get like my makeup done. I text him and no response. I'm like, okay, well maybe he's still asleep because he doesn't need to get up as early as I do sitting in the makeup chair getting my makeup done.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Oh my goodness.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

So ready for this? 6:26am he calls me. My heart didn't sink or anything. I'm like, oh, he's calling me, like maybe tell me good morning. I pick up the phone and he says, hey, just want to let you know I'm going to say no. Yeah, I, I don't even know. I was just so. I was like, what? I, I think I, I said what? Cuz I'm like, did I actually hear this correctly?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So I got up at 6:26 in the morning.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

6:26 in the morning? Yeah, I hadn't even eaten right. But like I didn't know that was gonna happen. So I get up and I, because the camera was, the cameras were there. I wasn't mic'd up or anything, but the cameras were there. And I said, I'm not doing this in front of the camera. I walked into our, our bathroom and I sat on the closet floor and I was just like, are you kidding? Like, are you joking? We just had dinner. He said you didn't want any surprises. Like, where is this coming from? He's like, I just, you know, our communication issues. And I think he had said, and then they want us to move in together. And what? He said, what if it doesn't work out? I said, well, Will, like we had talked about this, we. We want to give us a shot, you know, in the real world and kind of see how, what that's going to look like. We had committed to working on our issues and I thought that we had actually gotten better. And he was just like, well, I just, I don't know. I don't know if this is going to work. What if it doesn't work out? And he said, and I'm moving into your place and I no longer have my apartment. So if we break. And he's just spiraling, he's being. Well, he's processing things, right? He's trying to be very logical about it. And I was, please don't do this, don't do this. But then I said, but if you do this, like, this is it, like, I just need you. And I said, I need you to be sure. So we're getting ready. I think at one point I said, this is stupid. I'm like getting ready to go get a divorce. Like, it was tough.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Hysterically crying the entire day. I didn't eat that entire day. And like, you know, a long filming day. It was a long, long day. So we get there, I'm a mess because I knew there was no changing his mind. So here we are going to have this conversation. I'm going to pour my heart out as like a Hail Mary. And it's not my mindset, it's not going to resonate with him. He's made up his mind. And Will is very stubborn. He made up his mind. And so we get there and it was just absolutely emotional. I think, you know, I started out with telling him how much I love him and all of these things. And then I saw him cry. I'm like, oh, he hasn't.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

There's something new, there's something there.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

He has emotions. I don't know how to, what to make of this. I kind of like it. Cry for me. This is what I want. But it was emotional. Yeah, it was really emotional. And I think that what he kept saying, we just need more time. I wish we had more time. And while we're.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

How long is the process?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

It's eight weeks.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

It's an eight week process. But what's interesting about that, he kept saying, while we're on the chair or on the couch and the experts are there, we just need. I just wish we had more time. And I told him, I said, you realize saying, no, that's it, we're done. But you saying, yes, that gives us the Time to do all these things that we said we're going to do. We're going to go to couples therapy. We're going to, you know, try to make it work. That's giving us more time. So as you see, like, he gets up and he goes to walk. And I don't know what. How he processes that information, but I remember when he got up, I told Dr. Pia, I said, there's no. I said, this is pointless. There's no change in his mind. And I wasn't trying to change his mind. I just needed to say all the things that I needed to say because I realized that maybe I hadn't done a good enough job of letting him know that I do love you. I know. And I don't think he questioned my love for him. I know that you love me. I think that was something that he did question, and maybe I didn't do a good enough job of telling him that. So, yeah, he came back and. Yes. Yes.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Right?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So now what are we thinking? Because it was a no.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

It was A no at 6:26 in the morning. 6:26 in the morning.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Then he talks to the experts or has a moment, and now it's yes.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Now it's a yes. And I was happy, obviously, when he said yes, but I was. They don't. They don't show. But when we're walking out together, I asked him, I said, were you secure in your no? And he said, no, I wasn't. And then I looked at him and I said, are you secure in your yes? And he says, yes. I'm like, okay. And what's interesting that day is he. So he travels for work. He left that evening, so we didn't even have a chance to talk about what the hell just happened.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Oh, for work?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, he left that evening to go to work. And I'm. I'm spiraling. I'm like, well, he didn't have a chance to talk. Like, he was really going to say no. He. We were really going to get a divorce. Like, this was going to be it. So I was spiraling that week. It was just. I did not feel secure.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Did you guys talk?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

We talked that night, and then he was very busy for work that week, so we hadn't really talked. And I was being okay. Just like, text me, like, let me know, can we talk? Like, let me know if you can pull away from work. And like, let's just actually have this conversation.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

I.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Even that week, I even. I was looking up couples therapy. I was, like, looking it up and I text him and I said, hey, I. I found a couple of people. Like, I made a couple of consultations for us to try couples therapy whenever you get back. And I think, what did it for him? I had called him on the Friday he was coming back. I was like, yeah, I'm going to go pick you up. I'm going to cook us dinner and we can actually have this conversation. And I called, and he seemed really annoyed. And so once we got off the phone, I said, oh, you don't seem like you're happy to see me. And I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So he gets back home from his work trip. Comes home to you.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, he gets back home from his work trip, walks in, he has a suitcase, and I'm not thinking anything of it. Like, okay, he has a suitcase. So he just got back from work. But that entire day, I had a feeling that he was going to break up with me. Because when I said, oh, you don't seem happy to see me, and then I said, this has just been an emotional week. Like, I just can't wait to talk to you. And he texted me back and he said, I'm gonna make sure that never happens again. At that moment, I was like, he's a daunting text. Yeah, that's exactly what he said. I said, he's gonna break up with me. So I was prepared for that. I was actually prepared. I'm like, we're gonna have a conversation and, like, this is gonna be it. Because I. At that point, I'm like, I need to say what I need to say. He comes home, has a suitcase, he sits down, and he looks at me. He says, I don't wanna do this anymore.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Are we still filming at this point?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

We're in filming, but the cameras aren't there. So we have, you know, the little. Yeah, yeah, the apartment cameras. So they do. They capture this. And he's like, I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to be with you. I don't want to be married to you anymore. I'm like, I wasn't prepared for that. I was prepared to, like, have a conversation about this. And so he gets up, walks to the closet, and I follow him and he's, you know, I don't want to be with you anymore. I don't care about you. Just like, I don't care. I don't care about you. I don't care about you. Very cold, Very bizarre. Yeah. And he explains it as I needed to Be that way, because I needed you to. To understand, like, that this was it. There was no.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So he needed to be mean.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

He needed to be mean. So he says, I don't like that. I didn't like it.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

I was the. Like, were there outside influences that you think maybe clouded his judgment? Was there, like, family or friends that maybe you think got into his head? Or do you think this is just a Will production?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I think it's just a Will production. Will is very, like, I don't think he's easily influenced by people. Like, I kind of think that he just is who he is. There was actually a conversation weeks prior where this was awkward. He, like, made up this. I don't know how this happened, but he thought that I thought that he was having an inappropriate relationship with one of the producers. And I'm like, where the fuck is this coming from?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And why would he think.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I don't know. I don't know. And still to this day. I brought it up to you. He didn't bring it up. It was weird how it found out. So he called one of the cast members. Like, I was sick that entire week, so I couldn't film that day. So Will was gone and he was filming. I was sick that day, and I saw some of the cast, like, out at the pool. So I went down there to talk to them. Just sitting there, like, chopping it up. Hi, guys. What are you, like, oh, you guys had crawfish, you know, kind of just chopping it up with everybody. And then one of the cast members gets a phone call. It was just weird. Like, his body language kind of changed. And I didn't recognize, actually, Megan. Megan was the one that said, oh, Will's talking. Chat's talking to Will. Like, oh, okay, cool. I wonder what they're talking about. But it was interesting because Chad, like, got up from the chair. He, like, walked away. What are they talking about? So Chad gets back and he. I just see it all over his face. He just looks uncomfortable. Yeah. So I'm probing. What y'.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

All.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

What are y'? All. What did y' all talk about? And he says, well, you know, Will asked me. There's something that he wanted to talk to you about, but he doesn't know how to bring it up to you. Like, oh, no, now you gotta tell me, because what are we talking about?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

What's going on?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

And it was. Well, he. I don't know verbatim. But, you know, he thinks that you're having this in. He thinks that you think that he's having this inappropriate, inappropriate relationship with one of the producers. And I'm like, what the hell is. I'm like, where is this coming from? Like, what? No. What? No. I'm like, where is this coming from? So I get back to the. My room, and I tried to call him. Hey, like, where is this coming from? Can you come home so we can talk about it? I'm hanging out with my friends. I'm like, okay, that's fine. What time do you think you're gonna be back? I don't. I think he said, like, 11. So I call him at 11 because he's not there. I'm like, hey, are you on your way? I just stopped at this taco truck. I should be home in a little bit. Okay. And I call him back. Cause it's like 30 minutes I passed, and I said, hey, are you coming home? And we're talking, and then all of a sudden, he hangs up. And then he FaceTimes me. But once, like, but he FaceTimes me, and it's his mom and it's his sister, also on FaceTime. And I'm like, what the hell is this? And he's at home. I can see that he's at home. I'm just like, what am I this sick? I'm like, is this a dream? Like, what is going on?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

And so we're FaceTiming with them, and I'm like, hey, guys, how's it going? Like, what. What's. What's going on? And just like a, you know, normal conversation. It was real quick, get off of FaceTime. I call him back and I say, what the hell was that?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Right?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

He's like, I just needed you to see that I'm at home and I'm not doing anything. What are you talking about, Will? Like, where is this coming from?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

This is all out of the blue.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Out of the blue. Out of the blue. I never gave him any sort of reason to think any of that. And he goes, well, I just feel like you don't trust me. Where is this coming from? I never. Once I said, we have communication issues, not trust issues. And then. So it was weird because I said, come home because we need to. We need to talk. Okay, I'm coming. He texts me back and he says, I'm not coming. I want a divorce. I don't want to be with you. This is 1:07am and I remember because I had just taken a binge.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

My girl got the time.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

The time stamps. 1:07am 1:07 and, like, 30 seconds, probably.

[Mira Advertiser]

I Love this.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

He's like. And then he text me back and he said, I'm sorry, I'm really drunk. I'm like, what?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

At 107am?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah. I'm like, what the hell is going on? And I was pissed. Hold on, hold on.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So hold on. So Taco truck?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, Taco's truck. Then mom and sister, and then.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Then we don't talk the rest of the night.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Then you wake up at seven o'. Clock. What did you say?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

107.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

107 in the morning.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Because I'm waiting for him. And now he's drunk and now he's. I. He's like, I want a divorce if this is how it's going to be. I don't want to. He's like, I don't want to do this.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

We got past that.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah, we got past that. Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Because I, we had a conversation the next day off camera and it was just like, like, what the hell was that? And I still.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

We ever get clarity?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

No, I still to this day don't know.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Do we know which production member it might have been?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, I know exactly who he's talking about. I actually incur. I said, because Will had a hard time just. I thought he had a hard time opening up. And I'm like, okay, he's not talking to me. He's not talking to the other guy. Producer. I said, but I like that you're. I told the producer, I said, I like that you're able to get him to open up to you. And I said, I want you to actually start doing his interviews. I don't want the guy producer to do it because I want you to start doing. Because he seems like he can open up to you.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Do you think that? Probably.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I don't know. I just think that's a leap. Is weird. We'll never know.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Unless something comes out. Okay, so you filmed your reunion yesterday?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yes.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

How are you feeling about it?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I feel great.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I felt great going into it. I'm like, I'm just here to show up. I'm just here to look good. I'm here to do a couple of little Kiki Hahas, you know, some of the stories. I'm here to give all the facial expressions. But like, I feel great. Um, and at that point, Will and I hadn't talked to each other. It's over a year and a half. No communication, nothing.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Hadn't seen him.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Hadn't seen him, hadn't talked to him, hadn't heard from him, nothing. But I still felt great. Cause I'm like, I'm past this.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

How was it seeing him?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

It was good, actually. It was good.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Did you miss him? No.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I didn't. I didn't because like I said earlier, I'm like, I've lived like two lives since then. Right.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And that was the first time you guys spoke?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

First time.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And you felt nothing, just.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

No, I mean, I felt like it was good to see him. It was good to see him. It was good to see, you know, he's doing well. But there was no unresolved feelings or anything like that. I didn't know how it was going to go because we hadn't talked. And the last time that we did talk, it was just abrupt and, you know, it wasn't. We didn't end well. So I didn't know how it was go. And I was preparing. Like I did a whole bunch of therapy. A whole bunch of therapy after the breakup. Shout out to therapy. Okay. I did a whole bunch of therapy and I'm like preparing for the reunion with my therapist. And she said, well, they're expecting that Britney to show up. You know, the Britney that maybe had all the insecurities and like over, you know, over the top reactions. They're expecting that to show up. That's not you. That's a. You're a healed version of yourself now. And I said, yeah, that, that's true, you know, and that's. That's what I want to portray. Like, that's how I want to show up. And she said, how do you Think Will's gonna show up? Because you have to be prepared. I don't. And I told her. I'm like, I don't know. I can't sit here. I can't speculate. All I can do is, you know, answer the questions and kind of share my experience. And I hope that it's going to be cordial, and that's that. And so it was that. But it was. You know, we had. We had some moments, you know, a little bit. A little bit of moments, but he showed up a little bit differently than not what I expected, because I didn't expect anything. But he showed up better than I thought he would have. And I think we just got to a point where I think he had said, I don't know this Britney. Oh. And I was like, that's very true. Like, you don't know this Britney, and I don't know who you are today. But all in all, I'm very happy with how the reunion went. Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

What was the most shocking moment of the reunion, in your opinion?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I think probably just how easy our dialogue was. And it almost seemed to feel like we were kind of falling back into, like, that comfortability around one another. And, I mean, because throughout it, you know, other people are sharing their stories, and, you know, one of. One of the cast members that Will doesn't 100% care for, you know, he's. He's. He's talking and doing his thing, and I'm making my facial expressions like I normally do, and Will caught me. And so, like, now we're. We're going back and forth, and we're just, like, making facial expressions at one another. I'm like. It was just so easy, you know, falling back into that comfortability. So I think that was probably the most shocking because it's like, dang, we hadn't talked in almost two years, but we see each other and it's instant. Like, here we are.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Do you think you guys could be friends?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I think we could be amicable. I think we could be cordial. I don't know about friends. You know, Like, I don't see us, hey, bestie. Like, let's go get lunch. Right. Earlier in the car, you said you.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Could see all three of us being friends. Oh, you did.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I said that. But I. We're talking about Will and I. Yeah. But we're not talking about us three. I could see us, like, hanging out in, you know, friend circles, but us, too. No.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

No.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Thank you. Well, okay.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

So can you tell them about what.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Happened after I Was gonna get there. We're not. We're not done. Pull up a seat. Bring her the. Bring her on stage. We are, but we're not there yet.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay. Okay. Well, let's get there then, Shay.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Let's get there.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Just so y' all know, Megan is here, and she's piping in, and she's. She's holding you accountable. She's calling me out, sleeping slide.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

And I'm like, girl, we gonna get there. We go get there.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Megan got some tea.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Megan got all the tea.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

I'm crying.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Well, like she said, we are like sister. I think we have, like, twin telepathy.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Are you guys the closest from the season?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah. She is my best friend. Ride or die. We.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

You guys kind of had similar energies and personalities on the show.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You hear that?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay, let's. Let's. Let's get to the tea.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Is there anything that you feel like you needed to or need to say that you didn't get a chance to say?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I don't think there's anything in the moment, but Will and I actually. So we were able to catch up after the reunion.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Here we go.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

We. Yes, girl. We were able to. And it just. Me and Megan and Jalen were just sitting at the bar. Will came by and just having, you know, having a conversation. And I think at some point, you know, we're in a group setting, so everyone's talking, and at some point, it's just Will and I having a conversation. And then Megan and Jalen, they dipped out. And I said, hey, Will, can I actually just talk to you? Like, let's just talk. And it was very beautiful moment. We actually spent, like, three hours just talking last night. Last night, spent three hours just talking. We both apologized for everything. You know, he told me he still appreciates me and he still cares about me. And I said, yeah, I still appreciate you. I still care about you. It was just. I didn't know I needed that. I walk into reunion thinking, like, I'm just gonna show up. I want people to see how I am today, and that's how I'm gonna show up. I don't need to say anything to him. But actually having that conversation with him, I realized that I needed to. I needed to talk to him. I needed to know that we were good, and we apologized for everything. And, you know, I saw the growth in him. So he's. You know, he told me he's watching episodes as well. And he goes, man, my tone. He's like, did I really talk like that? I Said, yeah, you did. He's like, I'm so sorry for that. He said, was I actually really a robot? I say, you said that, not me. But I love seeing him kind of watch it back and try to see it from my perspective, because as I've been watching the show, that's what I've been trying to do. And we just came to this moment of, like, you're a great person. We're. We're good. You know, we. I can see why we were matched. You know, kind of held my hand, and we're, like, looking at each other's eyes and, like, having. Having. Having this moment. None of those feelings, but it was. It was a really great moment that I'm actually just so grateful that we had.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

I love that. What would you say you learned from your marriage with Will?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, I learned to just let things play out. I learned to not internalize things and kind of take everything personally. You know, I learned that not everyone is going to show up how I show up, and that's not a good thing. It's not a bad thing. It's just everyone is different, and I need to appreciate, you know, everyone's uniqueness. I learned a lot about myself. I learned that I was insecure in moments, and I reacted out of those insecurities. I reacted out of fear. And I also learned to give myself grace. Yeah, I. You know, I don't care what the people in the comments say. They. They talk about my nails. They say, you know, I need therapy. And as I'm watching it, I'm like, little. Do you know, I am in therapy?

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah, that's a compliment.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And the nails. Eat.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Thank you.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

They're so cute.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Let me see. Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah, they're cute.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I wanted to. I'm like, let me get them a little bit longer and a little bit more dramatic. More people for the people. For the people at home. But, yeah, I just learned to give myself grace because what we did, it's not easy. You know, we were. We showed up, and we're kind of thrust into this environment where we had to be vulnerable. And even for Will, like, I can see that he was being vulnerable. I mean, even just showing up, you're already. You're already being vulnerable. So, yeah, I just learned to give myself grace and, like, damn, Brittany, kind of relax.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah, a little bit. You know, is there anything that you would do differently if you could go back?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

No. And the reason I say that is because I needed to experience everything that happened. I needed everything to go that way in order for Me to be the person that I am today. Yeah. I love who I am today. And if it hadn't been for everything that I did, everything that I went through, all those experiences, the person that's, like, sitting here today talking to you, you know, would. I wouldn't be who I am.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay, so let me ask you then, how do you feel about love and marriage today after everything you've experienced?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I'm still a hopeless romantic. Yay. I'm still a hopeless romantic. I am still waiting for my man. He's coming to come sweep me off of my feet. Yeah. I'm actually. I'm excited for that. Like, I'm. I'm excited for this next journey. I'm excited for the next chapter. I've, you know, being able. I think it's a privilege to be able to watch ourselves back and, you know, kind of see, like, oh, I don't like that. Or like, this is, you know, if. If I could do something differently, like, I would. And being able to take that and carry it into who we are today, like, how many people can say that they, you know. Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Can watch who they are and who.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

You want to be? So it's such a privilege. And I think if you don't take advantage of that, you're missing the whole point.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

I agree. Yeah. 100%.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So I've had nothing but time to reflect on my.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah. My TV time.

[Mira Advertiser]

Right.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And I'm just like, that girl was so cute. But that's not me.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Exactly.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And that's not who I want to be. And I think it's. You're right. Like, you have to take advantage of that because there's a lot of people that go on, and it's like, I was perfect. I was fine.

[Tesh (Married at First Sight Consultant and Super Fan)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

And don't reflect and don't change and then wonder why they're perpetuating situations. And I think if you could take time to reflect and be, like, maybe not my best.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Not my worst. Not who I am and not who.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I want to be.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

I think that is very powerful.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

So you said you're still a lover girl.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I'm a lover girl.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Relationship status is it is single, single.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

And ready to mingle.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

I know that's right. Are you dating?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

I dated. I went on a few dates, but I'm not actively dating. Nothing serious. I've really taken this time to kind of just transform myself physically, emotionally, spiritually, and because I want to show up right. For. For my person. And I also want to be able to spot, like, I want to have that discernment. I want to be able to spot, like, okay, yeah, this is. This is him. Like, this is who. Who God has for me.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah, yeah. So you said you're. You're excited for what's next for you. What is next for Britney?

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Oh, that's a great question. I'm open to all of the possibilities. Or tv.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

You know, I do want to be on the challenge. I do want to be on the channel. I've been preparing for it.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Dating.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Reality tv.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Don't you. You know what? You're right. You're right. I want to. I want to have my. My. My 80 moment. Second time's a child for some of us. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Challenge would be good.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Challenge would be good. I wouldn't be opposed to. To. If that's the way it's. It's supposed to go. Finding my man that, you know, doing another reality dating show. Perfect.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Open to it. Call my girl.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Call me up. Hit me up. I'll be ready. I look good too.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Okay, well, so we're going into dating more career focus.

[Brittany (Married at First Sight Season 19 Cast Member)]

Where are we? Yeah. So, like I mentioned, I have a new job, and it's awesome. It's amazing. So I want to continue to, like, I still want to be able to do this. Yeah. Right. But also still be the corporate baddie that I am. So we'll see how I can, you know, continue to. To balance that, but just more so the same, you know, definitely want to open myself up to dating. I want to travel more. I want to, you know, really just immerse myself into this new, different life.

[Host of What's the Reality?]

Yeah.
