Fans are eager to learn more about the stars of Married At First Sight season 13, and here's everything to know about hopeful newlyweds Michaela and Zack. Since 2014, Married At First Sight has made enthralling television by matching hopeless romantics that may or may not mesh. From their backgrounds to their expectations for their marriage, here's everything to know about Married At First Sight's newest lovebirds Michaela and Zack.
The Married At First Sight season 13 premiere promises another exceptional season for long-lasting fans of the reality series. With each new batch of newlyweds, audiences have come to expect that some pairs will become fan-favorite matches while others will supply drama. While the happy couples are what viewers like to see, the conflict between poorly-paired Married At First Sight stars never fails to make a memorable season of reality television. Lifetime has already confirmed that season 13 will include some of its most dramatic episodes yet as "one husband gets caught in a situation that no one saw coming." Only time will tell if Michaela and Zack will sink or swim during their Married At First Sight journey, but here is everything to know about the couple before their marriage is put to the test.
Michaela is 30 years old and has spent most of her life's three decades living in Houston, Texas, where Married At First Sight season 13 was filmed. Growing up, Michaela was part of a traditionally close-knit Texas family. Naturally, Michaela has always wanted to start a new family of her own. Michaela is a successful realtor who is tired of selling homes to newlyweds. Although she is a busy realtor, family remains a priority for Michaela. Michaela is ready to settle down and begin planning her family, but she is not too desperate to compromise what she wants from a husband. Despite Michaela's past relationship failures, the realtor refuses to settle for less than she deserves in a marriage.
The man who relationship experts believe is best suited to satisfy Michaela's high expectations is none other than 27-year-old Zack. Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Zack trekked to Houston to find a wife and start a family. Although Zack is the youngest cast member on Married At First Sight season 13, he planned to be a husband at a younger age. Zack intended to be married by 25, which explains his risky decision to get married on the unconventional reality show instead of taking the old-fashioned dating-before-marriage route. The teaser for season 13 revealed Zack has a challenge not yet faced on Married At First Sight – marrying a stranger while battling COVID-19. In addition to dealing with the virus' symptoms, Zack has the unenviable challenge of making a marriage with a total stranger work while quarantined from his wife.
Hopefully, the newlyweds' chemistry, which Michaela rated a "9 out of 10," can get them through what is sure to be a chaotic season. From Michaela's rigid expectations to Zack's COVID-19 diagnosis, this couple has their work cut out for them if they want to stay together after Married At First Sight. Regardless of whether or not they work out, Michaela and Zack are sure to make Married At First Sight's 13th season one to remember.
