Married At First Sight 10: Michael Gets Annulment From Meka

Married at First Sight season 11 is in full gear with the new couples officially moved in together, but MAFS season 10 alums, Meka Jones and Michael Watson, have finalized their decision to call it quits. This split is happening while season 11 couples are getting adjusted to their marriages.

Married at First Sight season 10 saw four of the five couples decide to get divorced after MAFS, leaving Austin Hurd and Jessica Studer as the only match the experts got right. Although the other couples opted for a divorce months ago, some of them are still going through the process of separating. For Meka and Michael, the process is now over. Their relationship ended in divorce.

Meka and Michael's marriage was full of uncertainty early on; supposed yoga teacher Michael's inability to prove what he did for a living was an issue. During the season, he claimed to have three different jobs. He reportedly worked in an istrative position, as a principal, and as a yoga teacher. The Married at First Sight cast member's continuous dishonesty, among other things, led to many arguments, ultimately causing Meka to decide to get a divorce on Decision Day. Considering the circumstances, Meka's decision wasn't a surprise, but it led to an unforeseeable outcome. Michael was granted an annulment from Meka, which may be the first in Married at First Sight history. In the Instagram live video below, Meka recaps the events that took place during their court proceedings:

As stated in the video, the original agreement was for a divorce, but Michael changed his mind and opted to try for an annulment. To get the annulment, they both needed to go to virtual court. Meka represented herself, while Michael had legal representation. He is also slated to be the attorney for his castmate Brandon, for his separation from Taylor. Michael's argument was that he was cold-called to be a part of the popular reality series and didn't believe the reality TV marriage was real. His legal representation also stated he believed Meka changing her name indicated that she was hiding something.

In the end, Meka has shared that she was happy with either getting a divorce or an annulment, as long as she was separated from him. The annulment is the preferred outcome but it does beg the question: What does this mean for future separated Married at First Sight couples?
