The singles tie the knot during the initial phase of the show, followed by a honeymoon, and an eight weeks of married life.
These couples explore the institution of marriage by living together and fulfilling the responsibilities of a married couple. When the finale or the decision day comes, these couples decide whether they want to stay in the marriage or go ahead with separation. During the current season, the couples must keep their relationship private to not spoil the zeist of the show.
Emem Obot and Ikechi Ojoré are one of the five couples in this season of Married at First Sight. Their journey on the show has not been smooth as the couple faces deflecting personalities when it comes to commitment. The fans have been calling out Ikechi for his bad behavior towards Emem.
However, a recent additional twist in the plot has left the Married at First Sight fans confused. After noticing Emem's Instagram bio which reads, "Wife and Nurse Practitioner", the fans have been speculating about Emem and Ikechi's marriage. One fan with the handle @user867530966 started a thread of the show and commented:
"Anyone notice Emem’s bio on instagram says wife, nurse practitioner? Why did I get a chill through my body."
"I haven’t read any spoilers but did notice on an early episode of after party that she had a ROCK on her left ring finger. Before we knew how awful Ike was, I assumed it meant they made it and she got a “real” engagement ring. Now I assume she either got it for herself or I guess according to comments here, she’s somehow engaged to someone else??" commented a fan @matzohballz
"I’m telling you guys I think they work it out. At the end he asked her to marry him again" wrote another fan @Truecrimejunkie71
Other fans speculated that Emem got married/ engaged to someone else and not Ikechi. One fan with the handle @Afraid_message_919 commented:
"I thought she just got engaged to someone else, that was not on the show."
"pls let it be someone other than ike. unless he's had a personality transplant, he is not a safe or healthy person to have in her life" commented @FlailingatLife62
"Nah no chance they’re still together. Probably just kept it to avoid spoilers." commented @redscharlach
Are Emem Obot and Ikechi Ojoré from Married at First Sight still together?
Married at First Sight Season 18 is not even close to finale but speculations and rumors have flooded the social media. Considering, that the speculations are alleged in nature, it would be difficult to form any concrete assessment about the relationship status of season 18 couple Emem and Ikechi.
However, a fan page with the handle @mafsfans put up a story claiming that the couple was no more together after the filming of the show. The account also hinted towards Emem's engagement to "some non-cast member after the Married at First Sight filming was done".
Another spark in the fire came from Emem's Instagram bio, where she mentioned herself as a "Wife". Now, the fans are contemplating the situation. Looking at Ikechi's nonchalant demeanor towards Emem, the theory of the couple calling off their marriage is circulating.
However, when the couple entered as singles on Married at First Sight Season 18, both were looking for a long-term committed relationship, making the experts to pair them together.
Married at First Sight Season 18 airs every Tuesday at 8 pm ET on Lifetime.
