Tom Wilson starred on Married At First Sight season 4, which aired five years ago in 2016. Tom had to overcome stormy waters throughout his journey on the popular reality series, but he has made it out on the other side since the end of his season. From his current relationship status to updates on his free-spirit lifestyle, here’s what Tom has been up to after Married At First Sight.
Tom was inducted into the world of Married At First Sight on the season 4 premiere in July 2016. Tom was introduced as a 29-year-old boat interior designer. The relationship experts paired Tom with 24-year-old realtor Lillian Vilchez. On the show, Tom and Lillian had chemistry and love for each other. On the other hand, the newlyweds had differing outlooks on the world. Lillian had more traditional family goals, like having children and settling down. Tom had less conventional aspirations, including living on a bus and traveling. Despite their contrasting lifestyles and objectives, Tom and Lillian opted to stay together on Decision Day.
For several months, Tom and Lillian’s love for each other prevailed over their disparate personalities. For 14 months, Tom and Lillian attempted to succeed in their Married At First Sight marriage. On the season 4 reunion, Tom and Lillian shared their marriage was hard work, but they were happy together. The husband and wife agreed that their contradicting ways of life were an obstacle, but they also helped balance their relationship. Unfortunately, Tom and Lillian’s desire to make their marriage last wasn’t enough to conquer the couple’s differences. On May 31, 2017, Tom and Lillian announced they were parting ways. The former couple shared with People that their decision was not easy to make because Tom and Lillian “love each other very much but sometimes God has other plans.” The pair ended their statement on a positive note, adding that they “remain best of friends.”

After his divorce from Married At First Sight star Lillian, Tom went on to pursue his dream of living on the road. Tom soon found a new romantic interest, Michelle Sharkey. Unlike his previous marriage, Tom and Michelle have plenty of personality traits in common. Chiefly, both Tom and Michelle share a passion for renovations. In May 2019, Tom announced he and Michelle were engaged. True to their free-spirited nature, Tom and Michelle did not wait long to get married. The couple tied the knot only three months after announcing their engagement. In April 2020, Tom returned to reality television on Married At First Sight: Where Are They Now?. On the show, Tom announced he is currently a step-father to Michelle’s two children from a previous marriage. Additionally, Tom and Michelle founded Sunshark Industries, a company that renovates vans, boats, and RVs in Miami.
Although Tom is not still together with his Married At First Sight match, he has cultivated a new life for himself after his experience on reality television. Fans embraced Tom and Lillian’s differences, but even the relationship experts would agree Michelle is a better match for the renovator. Tom couldn’t make his marriage work, but he remains a fan-favorite Married At First Sight star for his uncompromising free spirit.
