On Married at First Sight, we watch as strangers-turned-newlyweds make the decision to remain married or get a divorce. For those who choose to stay together, Decision Day marks the end of the experiment and the beginning of their new lives away from the TV cameras (for the most part).

In settling into married life, couples have made huge decisions, from buying homes and getting pets to having children of their own. Below are snapshots of the babies—and baby bumps—of some of your favorite Married at First Sight couples.

Henley Grace Hehner and Hendrix Douglas Hehner

Doug Hehner and Jamie Otis (Season 1)

As one of the earliest successful couples from the series, it's no surprise Doug and Jamie were the first to expand the MAFS family with children. The couple have been very open about their experiences and challenges with pregnancy following the end of the experiment.

After planning to expand their family and suffering the miscarriage of their baby boy, Johnathan, four months into their pregnancy in July 2016, the couple welcomed their rainbow baby, Henley "Gracie" Grace Hehner, on August 22, 2017.

Doug and Jamie announced they were expecting again in September 2019, and welcomed their son, Hendrix Douglas Hehner, on May 13, 2020. The birth was at their home with the help of a midwife during the COVID-19 pandemic, and documented in the Married at First Sight: Couples' Cam episode, "Couples' Cam: New Life."

In March 2024, the couple announced they are expecting twins after years of infertility.

Mila Rose D'Amico and Vaeda Marie D'Amico

Ashley Petta and Anthony D'Amico (Season 5)

Ashley and Anthony were smitten as soon as they met one another at the altar, and the twosome didn't waste much time expanding their family once the experiment was over. The ups and downs of their pregnancy—along with the lives of two other MAFS couples—were the subject of Married at First Sight: Happily Ever After?

Ashley gave birth to Mila Rose D'Amico on January 12, 2019—three weeks early. In July 2020, the couple shared that they were expecting their second child (another girl!) and were in their second trimester, just days before we saw Ashley tell Anthony in the new Couples' Cam episode titled "Baby Steps." Their second child, Vaeda Marie, was born in February 2021.

Laura Denise Pierre

Jephte Pierre and Shawniece Jackson (Season 6)

Jephte and Shawniece may not have clicked immediately at the altar like some of the other couples, but they did start to expand their family quickly. Before the Season 6 finale aired, the two revealed to People that, to their surprise, they were expecting their first child. Their pregnancy journey was shown on Married at First Sight: Happily Ever After?, including the birth of their child in the episode "New Lease on Life." On August 20, 2018, Shawniece gave birth to daughter Laura Denise Pierre, named after the couple’s mothers.

Olivia Nicole Dodd, Robert Elvin Dodd IV and Savannah Ann Dodd

Bobby Dodd and Danielle Bergman (Season 7)

Season 7's Danielle and Bobby produced few surprises throughout the course of their season, with very few fights or confrontations. However, they shocked everyone during the reunion when they announced that they were expecting a child.

They faced several difficulties with the pregnancy, including continued nausea for Danielle which affected intimacy in their relationship, as seen in the episode "Routine Maintenance" of Married at First Sight: Happily Ever After? But in the end, they were able to push through and welcome baby Olivia Nicole Dodd in February 2019. While quarantining, it was revealed in the Couples' Cam episode "Couples' Cam: New Beginnings" that Danielle and Bobby were pregnant with baby No. 2. Their son, Robert Elvin Dodd IV, was born in December 2020.

In September 2023, the couple welcomed their third child, a girl named Savannah Ann. Danielle revealed that their new baby shares a middle name with Bobby's mother.

Declan Okotie

Deonna McNeill and Greg Okotie (Season 9)

Only one year after leaving Season 9 as newlyweds, Deonna and Greg began living married life under quarantine, where we got to see the couple's views of children develop firsthand. They went from disagreeing on being ready for kids, to actively trying, to revealing they were expecting their first child on the finale of Couples' Cam, "The Next Chapter." Their son, Declan Okotie, was born in February 2021.

Westin Paul Hurd and Everett Brooks Hurd

Austin Hurd and Jessica Studer (Season 10)

Nearly two years after they married, the couple first announced that they were expecting their first child. "Austin and I are super excited about this new adventure of parenthood! We both knew we wanted to be parents when we met but wanted to wait for the time to be right," Studer said at the time. The couple's first child, son Westin Paul Hurd, was born in November 2021.

In March 2024, the couple announced that they are expecting their second child. Their son, Everett Brooks, was born in August 2024.

Reign Randal and Rai Randall

Woody Randall and Amani Aliyya (Season 11)

In February 2022, on their second wedding anniversary, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child.

The couple's first child, a boy named Reign, was born on June 3, 2022. "It's still pretty early but we think he may look more like Wood, and he may have Woody's eyes," Amani told Entertainment Tonight. She added, "I think he has my nose."

In November 2023, the couple shared that they welcomed their second child, a son named Rai Zahir.

Aury Bella Morales

Briana Myles and Vincent Morales (Season 12)

In July 2022, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child.

On January 3, 2023, the MAFS family expanded when the couple's first child, Aury Bella, was born. "Our little love is finally here! After a long-awaited almost 10 months, Aury Bella Morales graced us with her presence on 1/3/23 and we couldn't be more elated," the couple told PEOPLE. "She's even more beautiful than we could've ever imagined."

The couple is currently expecting their second child.
