Bennett, 28, grew up in Montvale, New Jersey and is the artistic director of a theatre company. Bennett has sought a life partner for years but has been through a string of bad relationships and is deeply encouraged by Married At First Sight‘s history of success with past couples.

Amelia, 27, was raised in Richmond, Virginia. With a doctor for a mother, Amelia always thought she would follow in her footsteps and is currently completing her medical residency. Amelia subscribes to the idea that “you can fall in love with anyone-ish,” and much like her grandparent’s arranged marriage, she really thinks it’s possible to learn to love someone. She loves social experiments and Married At First Sight is the perfect one for her./p
