Katina Goode and Olajuwon Dickerson’s chemistry was off the charts ever since they first appeared on “Married at First Sight,” so it’s not surprising that tons of fans had rooted for them from the get-go. But the problems in their relationship surfaced early on, with Dickerson showing his disappointment at Goode’s lack of housekeeping know-how. But Goode held on and stayed committed to their marriage, and by Decision Day — when couples decide if they will stick together — it seemed that the pair had learned how to look past their differences and graduated from the show as a couple. Dickerson even re-proposed to his wife in the reunion episode. “You taught me patience and effort is the key to a happy life and a happy marriage,” he said at the time. “[Goode], I couldn’t be any happier to call you my wife, and I mean that.”
In July 2022, the couple told E! News that they were able to strengthen their marriage after Season 14 ended. “The show does really work as long as you both are there for the right reasons and you really truly want to be married,” Goode said. Sadly, shortly after their anniversary, the two announced that they were calling it quits. “After one year of marriage and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways,” they said in a since-deleted joint statement on Instagram. “However, this was not an easy decision to make. We leave our marriage with enormous love and respect for each other. We only ask that at this time, our privacy is respected.”
