On Married at First Sight season 13, cast members haven’t had the best luck with their spouses, but fans are speculating that Bao Huong Hoang and Johnny Lam found a happy ending together. Although Bao and Zack were matched with different partners on season 13, there are rumors that the duo took matchmaking duties into their own hands. Here’s everything there is to know about gossip that suggests Bao and Zack Freeman have ditched their Married at First Sight spouses to date each other.
Throughout season 13, audiences have witnessed Bao and Johnny’s dysfunctional relationship and watched Zack and his wife Michaela Clark struggle as a duo. Before even saying “I do,” Bao wasn’t sure about how her marriage would work, because she knew Johnny in college. Unfortunately, their collegiate connection ended on the wrong foot, as Bao alleged that Johnny ghosted her during their university years. Bao and Johnny’s married life isn’t much of an improvement upon the pair’s undergrad phase, as Bao consistently fails to meet her husband’s rigid expectations. Additionally, Zack and Michaela’s marriage has hit its fair share of bumps in the road. After Zack got sick with COVID-19 on their honeymoon, the pair lost out on crucial bonding time. Since they’ve been able to spend time with one another, Zack and Michaela’s conversations regularly devolve into arguments.
Although Married at First Sight season 13’s Decision Day hasn’t arrived yet, fans are already anticipating Zack and Bao’s divorces. On top of the troubled states both relationships are in so far in the season, rumors suggest that Bao and Zack have embarked on their own romance since parting ways with their reality television spouses. According to SoapDirt, Bao and Zack were spotted spending time together in Houston. This initial get-together was dismissed as two new friends getting to know each other by some skeptical Married at Sight fans. In fact, both Bao and Zack responded to the article that speculated about their romantic relationship, claiming that, “they simply ran into each other at an art exhibit.” New evidence of the season 13 alumni out on the town calls their joint denial into question.
After Zack and Bao claimed that they unintentionally ran into each other, rumors of the pair’s romance died down, but another update on the season 13 cast members’ burgeoning relationship has put the duo back in the spotlight. SoapDirt reported that more fans have shared stories of their run-ins with the mismatched couple in Houston. It’s possible that Zack and Bao are denying the rumors of their new relationship because their nondisclosure agreements require that they do not reveal anything about their current relationship statuses. One Redditor, Careless-Exam-5623, claimed that the season 13 co-stars are likely dating because “Bao is friends with most of Zack’s family on Facebook.” This led MAFS sleuths to believe that Bao and Zack’s relationship is more than just a friendship.
Zack and Bao might still both be married to other people on Married at First Sight, but these rumors suggest that Michaela and Johnny’s days are numbered. From their time together at art galleries to Bao reaching out to all of Zack’s family on Facebook, this pair of MAFS season 13 cast members could be treading on new territory in terms of the reality dating show. Although there is no confirmation, fans believe Zack and Bao are the first Married at First Sight cast members to get together with stars from the series that they weren’t matched with.
