Season 16 of Married At First Sight has been full of upheavals, including the potential newfound love between Gina Micheletti and Mack Gilbert. While the goal of MAFS is to create a lasting match, there are times when the experts fail to do so and the couples end up splitting. Gina and her MAFS husband Clint Webb did not feel a connection early on in the process. They lacked physical attraction, and this issue persisted throughout the experiment. Meanwhile, Mack and his MAFS wife, Domynique Kloss, split just 12 days after their wedding. They realized early on that there was no chemistry between them and decided to end their relationship.

Married At First Sight season 16 has been full of shakeups, including Gina Micheletti and Mack Gilbert’s possible newfound love for one another. While the point of MAFS is for the experts to set up a lasting match, there are times when they fail to do so and the couples split. Gina and her MAFS husband Clint Webb, didn’t feel a connection from early on in the process. They were lacking physical attraction, and it followed them through the experiment. Meanwhile, Mack and his MAFS wife, Domynique Kloss, split just 12 days after their wedding. They understood there was nothing between them early and decided to cut their losses.
During an exclusive sneak peek from PeopleGina and Mack sat down to talk to host Kevin Frazier about their connection, which sparked after MAFS season 16’s decision day. Mack shared that he initially slid into Gina’s DMs about a friend of hers. “It was harmless, I wasn’t trying to make Gina jealous or anything like that,” Mack revealed to Kevin when he was questioned about his initial approach to chatting Gina up. “I wasn’t trying to break up a marriage.” Gina chimed in as well, sharing that their season’s cast is “all pretty close” so it wasn’t shocking to hear from Mack about a photo she’d shared, either.
What Happened To Gina & Mack’s Relationships With Clint & Dom?
While Gina and Mack originally met during Married At First Sight season 16, they weren’t each other’s initial partners. The pair first encountered each other on the group honeymoon in Jamaica while Gina was with Clint and Mack was with Dom. During the honeymoon, Clint was blunt about the fact that he wasn’t attracted to Gina’s outward appearance, explaining he was used to “more athletic body types” to the larger group. During the exclusive Gina spoke up about Mack defending her at the time, sharing, ““Definitely watching it back, it’s sexy to see a guy go to bat for you if he feels like someone is offending you…I was thankful.”
While Mack and Gina had very different turns on MAFS, the outcome was ultimately the same for the both of them. They wound up not finding love with their expert-chosen partners, but while they spent time trying to figure out what made their MAFS relationships unsuccessful, they found love within each other instead. MAFS has one of the worst success rates for dating reality TV shows, and though there are many couples who don’t stay together, the ones who do find love seem to be lasting. It’s possible that the experts overlooked Mack and Gina as matches for each other, but they were meant to be together all along.
Though it’s not clear what the future holds for Gina and Mack, the pair do seem to enjoy being around one another. Even after some difficult times with their MAFS partners, the fact that neither Gina nor Mack gave up on finding real love with one another is inherently romantic. They have an easy connection that’s sweet to watch, and the Married At First Sight season 16 reunion shows off the exclusive news that the pair could’ve found love in the most unexpected of places: each other.
