Married at First Sight released a Where Are They Now? episode on March 25, 2025. The segment saw Madison reveal to her father, Mark, that she had moved in with her partner, David. It was the first time Mark met David after the cheating scandal involving Michelle and Allen. While Madison hoped her father would accept and respect her decision, he believed the move was "premature."
While sharing his opinion in a private interview, Mark said:
"That was a little shocking. It's premature but the heart wants what it wants, and if you know, you know."
The Where Are They Now? segment saw David arrange an evening out with his parents and partner, Madison. While he looked forward to enjoying some quality time with his near and dear ones, Madison's father came along for the ride. Consequently, Madison decided to make the most out of the situation and reveal the major life update to him.

"Can’t spring a “we live together now” on your pops in front of people," another fan commented.

"You want to hear the affirmation" — Married at First Sight alum David admits feeling "nervous" about meeting Madison's father
Before Mark, the "silver fox," arrived, David took to a confessional to express his feelings. It was the first time he would meet Madison's father since Madison and he had gotten together.
"I'm a little nervous. It's the pops. That is your woman's father and you always want acceptance and you want to hear the affirmation that he has about our love," he said.
During their one-on-one conversation, the Married at First Sight star started by thanking Mark for "being an amazing father" to Madison. He then confessed that Madison was the woman of his dreams and the person he wished had walked down the aisle the first time. However, David believed everything happened for a reason.
David was initially paired with Michelle, and Madison with Allen. However, as the season unfolded, David and Madison developed feelings for one another and decided to end their original marriages to pursue their new spark.
David informed Mark that Madison and he had discussed marriage and would need his blessing to proceed. Mark revealed he supported their relationship, pleasantly surprising the Married at First Sight star.
"She obviously looked at you and knew that something was right there. I'm so happy that Madison has finally found somebody who she is comfortable with and happy. You are a fantastic man. I think you are the perfect mix for her," Mark added.
David stated he was excited to see both families coincide and be "one big giant family drinking, playing darts, and real love."
Married at First Sight is now streaming on Lifetime.
