When it comes to predicting this season’s successful Married At First Sight couples, Joanne and James aren’t exactly at the top of our list. But perhaps it’s time we get off the Booka and Brett train and jump ship to this volatile couple as they’ve just recently been spotted together looking very close for comfort.

It’s been a bumpy ride for car salesman James Susler and barber Joanne Todd. While initially the pair hit it off, Joanne soon had her doubts about their financial differences. From there, things got icy to say the least.
During Friday night’s commitment ceremony James joked he was falling in love with sexologist Alessandra Rampolla – needless to say this did not go down well. And just last night we saw Joanne tell the intruder couple Kerry and Johnny that they would be “happy for the first five days and then the rollercoaster will begin”.

While we hope she’s wrong about those newlyweds, we can’t deny her marriage to James hasn’t been chaotic.
But even though we had our doubts that these two would be endgame, new photos suggest that Joanne and James actually managed to make it work outside of the show.
Indeed, in new snaps obtained by The Wash, the on-screen bride and groom were papped out and about in Melbourne earlier this month.
The pair were hugging, smiling, laughing and even got a few drinks together. Does this mean we have a successful couple on our hands?
The photos suggest that, even though they’ve “split up” on the show, the pair have managed to make it work, either romantically or platonically, outside of the experiment.
While we’re not sure whether there will be any more wedding bells in this pair’s future, there are some couples who warrant some optimism when it comes to success stories.
That’s right, Joanne and James aren’t the only MAFS stars to be papped together outside of the show. Fan-favourites Booka and Brett have also been spotted grabbing some Nandos together late last year.
The pair were wearing very casual attire and looked as close as ever. Our fingers are crossed!
Controverisal groom Bryce has also been spotted on numerous occasions with his on-screen wife Melissa.
From indoor rock climbing together, to Bryce being spotted in Melissa’s hometown of Melbourne, it seems like these two have stayed very close post-show.
Melissa also revealed to New Idea exclusively that she was glad to be paired with Bryce and stands by his intentions throughout the show.
It seems that the normally dire success rate for couples that make it work after leaving MAFS may just increase this year.
