Alissa Fay and David Momoh were one of the first pairings up to say “I do” on the 2026 series of Married At First Sight Australia.
However, their pairing got off to a rocky start when Alissa revealed that she couldn’t go through with the wedding for “one reason.”
In a painfully awkward scene, the bride-to-be insisted her future husband drop to one knee and propose at the top of the aisle- something he initially refused.
Alissa’s proposal demand
David was visibly reluctant, hesitating and trying to laugh it off, saying “I don’t know if this is part of the set-up or if you’re being serious,” to which she replied: “I’m being deadly serious, I need a man who will do this for me.”
Eventually, he gave in, but the moment dragged on far longer than necessary. What should’ve been playful quickly tipped into uncomfortable watching territory, leaving viewers squirming at home.
And if that wasn’t enough, the kiss that followed sealed the deal as one of the most second-hand embarrassment-inducing moments of the episode.
David’s second chance
Despite this awkward incident, David insisted he wasn’t going to end their relationship and would instead be giving Alissa a second chance.
The couple then swiftly turned things around and even went on to bond over their Christian backgrounds.
David then admitted that he feels the experts matched them well and said he could be the “calm to her hurricane”- not sure if that’s a compliment, but alas.
So, after their rocky start, did the pair last the trial, and are they still together now?
Are Alissa and David still together?
In August 2025, The Daily Mail, shared sweet pictures of Alissa and David holding hands while filming together in Sydney- a sign that their union most likely lasted the length of the experiment!
The couple looked comfortable in each other’s company, with Alissa wearing a grey tracksuit set and David sporting an all-black tracksuit.
However, as we all know- the contestants are not in charge of their social media until the series has been fully aired. Therefore, viewers will have to wait and see what happened between the pair.
