The duo exchanged vows on the show Married at First Sight, taking the plunge into marriage before getting to know each other.
The marriage of a reality TV couple, Mia Bally and Tristan Thompson from Married at First Sight, is coming to an end just as quickly as it began. Bally filed for divorce in Texas on September 4th, while the show is still airing. The couple’s short-lived marriage faced challenges from the start when Bally was detained at the airport before their honeymoon due to past legal issues. Despite Thompson’s efforts to understand the situation, he felt overwhelmed by the secrets and lies surrounding their relationship.
According to a Married at First Sight representative, Bally’s past issues were not revealed in her background check, causing confusion and distrust between the couple. Thompson also discovered that Bally may have still been using dating apps during their marriage. Despite their initial hopes for a successful union, their relationship quickly unraveled on the show.
Thompson, a former basketball player turned tutor, expressed his desire to settle down and build a legacy with his wife, while Bally, an airline recruiter, emphasized the importance of shared values and faith in her ideal partner. With both parties seeking a stable and loving relationship, the unexpected challenges they faced ultimately led to their decision to end their marriage.
Married at First Sight, a popular reality show produced by Kinetic Content, airs on Lifetime and chronicles the unique journey of couples who marry as strangers.
