49. Cortney Hendrix Sherman from Married at First Sight Season 1 spills the realiTEA

What happens when you think you’re auditioning for a dating show... only to find out you’re agreeing to legally marry a stranger? On this episode of D-List Diaries, Nicole and Gina sit down with Cortney Hendrix Sherman, OG bride from Season 1 of Married at First Sight, who shares the truly wild casting process — from meeting fellow bride Jamie Otis in a bathroom to trying to dodge Dr. Pepper’s home visit.

Cortney spills on the moment the casting team dropped the marriage bombshell, how her marriage unraveled, and why the show was way more documentary than drama-driven.

Cortney also opens up about life post-divorce, reflects on how MAFS ultimately led her to the love story she was meant for, and dishes on everything from the ethics of kids on social media to her current favorite conspiracy theory (yes, it’s wild). This one’s part reality TV throwback, part real talk — and totally worth the listen.
