'I still pinch myself about how we met'

Now legally married, MAFS Uk’s Adam and Tayah Aveling are looking forward to Christmas with their daughter and welcoming baby number two in 2025

When Adam and Tayah Aveling first locked eyes. on their wedding day, might we add - they could never have expected how their lives would turn out.

"Sometimes I still need to pinch myself about how we actually met," Tayah, 28, laughs during our exclusive photoshoot.

Back in 2021, Adam and Tayah first met as total strangers on the hit E4 series, Married At First Sight UK, but these days the pair are arguably the show's biggest success story.

Going from strength to strength, not only did they welcome daughter, Beau, in October 2022, they also tied the knot for a second time in December last year.

And now they have some more very exciting news to share - the couple are expecting a second baby. "Baby number two is on its way," smiles 29-year-old Adam.

Although Tayah is 20 weeks pregnant and glowing when we catch up at their home in Doncaster - the very same place that Adam brought his wife back to during homestay week on MAFS UK - she tells us that the first trimester was a tough time. "I was so tired and felt really sick. I was never physically sick when I was having Beau, but it's a constant feeling this time around," she explains, ahead of her due date in April 2025. "I'm starting to feel better now, though." Here, the happy couple open up about life after MAFS UK, their Christmas plans and how they're planning to cope juggling life with two very young kids.

Congratulations, Adam and Tayah! Can you remember when you found out you were expecting?

Tayah: Thank you. I took a test a few weeks after I first had a feeling I was pregnant - and it was positive right away.

Adam: You actually did one about a month before then, because you had a gut feeling. But it was too early to tell and it came up 'not pregnant'.
