When audiences were first introduced to the intruder couple Teejay Halkias and Beth Kelly on Married at First Sight, it was clear that the two had an instant connection.
Both sharing a home state of Queensland and a genuine desire to find that special someone to spend the rest of their lives with, fans were certain they would be a couple to watch as the experiment progressed.
Scroll on for everything that has happened so far in their marriage on MAFS.
A fairytale first few weeks
After a whirlwind first week in the experiment it was clear the experts got it right when they matched Teejay and Beth together.
“We’re smooth sailing. We’ve connected really well,” Teejay told the experts at their first Commitment Ceremony.
“I wasn’t expecting to click this quick with someone,” a smitten Beth added, both writing ‘stay.’
In the weeks that followed the pair continued to write stay with no complaints, their connection only growing stronger after Teejay lept to Beth’s defence at the couple’s retreat when Ryan called her “classless.”
“When I heard that, I kind of saw red,” a visibly upset Teejay shared with producers at the time.
“I really wanted to confront him because it’s going to be a cold day in hell before someone calls my wife classless and doesn’t hear from me,” he added.
While Beth did share her concerns on the couch at the following dinner party that she felt Teejay wasn’t attracted to her after their physical relationship slowed down, he was quick to reassure her that this wasn’t the case.
“I don’t think I would be as touchy-feely with Beth if I wasn’t attracted to her, I just wouldn’t do that,” he told the experts before turning to his wife and telling Beth directly: “I’m definitely attracted to you.”
Preparing to meet at the altar
Teejay is ready to meet the love of his life and dreams of settling down and becoming a dad.
Coming from a large Greek and Indian family, the 28-year-old is the last of seven siblings to be single, and is determined to change that!
Having previously been in two long-term relationships, he describes himself as a loving, caring, and tentative partner, and wants to be with someone who makes him laugh and emotionally and mentally stimulates him.
While he has a busy social calendar, the Queenslander says he wants to find his own happily ever after: “I want to be a success story for this experiment. I want a wife forever.”
It’s not the business development manager’s first time on reality TV – he also appeared on the 15th season of Big Brother Australia.
For Beth, when she signed up for MAFS it was a decision the 28-year-old from Lancashire in Northwest England didn’t take lightly having never previously had a boyfriend.
Her dream man is someone who can make her laugh and make her feel comfortable to be herself.
Usually, the one others lean on for support, she also describes herself as brutally honest and someone who calls a spade a spade.
What happened at Teejay and Beth’s wedding?
Upon first seeing one another on their wedding day, it was an instant spark.
Bonding over their vows and shared values, they said they were ready to take the next step with one another.
“I’m ready to love deeply and without reservation,” Teejay said during his vows.
While they shared sweet moments throughout their wedding, Beth said she was nervous to tell her husband that she had not been in a relationship.
Surprised at the revelation, he puts her at ease with a kiss. In a piece-to-camera, he says he is surprised that nobody has appreciated the woman she is.
