Brennan & Emily’s Journey So Far

Throughout Married At First Sight season 17, Emily and Brennan have had one of the most fascinating yet frustrating relationships. For Emily, coming into the experiment was something she was hopeful would bring her the love of a lifetime. While Brennan made it seem like he was looking for the same, he was closed off in a way that made it deeply difficult for Emily to connect with her new husband. The pair seemed to be off to a good start after their wedding, but their tough time on their honeymoon began to show cracks in their newly formed relationship.

Brennan shared he wasn’t fully attracted to Emily. Though he wasn’t sure if that was something that could be changed, he was willing to try for the sake of the marriage. Emily was looking for more information about what Brennan was feeling, but he wouldn’t offer it up and shut her down when she tried to connect. It wasn’t until the couple’s retreat, where Emily got into a harrowing accident that left both her and Brennan scared for her life, that things started to shift. While Emily was recovering, Brennan seemed more attentive, but their relationship stalled after her recovery.

Brennan Doesn’t Think Emily Is A Positive Person (It’s A Turn-Off)

Brennan, who has been guarded about his feelings throughout the series, shared that he doesn’t believe Emily is a positive person, but was able to see a new side of her after her traumatic accident during the couple’s retreat weekend. Emily was shocked by the accusation Brennan made.

Brennan explained that he’s felt Emily was a more negative person throughout their time together on Married At First Sight season 17, but he’s kept his thoughts about it to himself because he didn’t want to upset her. This is something he’s said more than once, but he’s done so casually which has kept Emily from understanding that he’s been serious about the behavior. Sharing that he believes her negativity to be a turn-off, Brennan hurt Emily’s feelings with the accusation and surprised her completely. Emily, who feels she’s an incredibly positive person, had a hard time with Brennan’s confession.

After her dinner with Brennan, Emily was conflicted on what would happen between her and her MAFS husband. She sat down with Clare Kerr, who was on Married At First Sight season 17 earlier in the season with her then-husband Cameron Frazer. Clare and Cameron, despite being separated, have been keeping in touch and Clare had something major to share with Emily. Tearfully, she explained that she believes Brennan isn’t giving Emily the same level of respect she’s giving him. Clare couldn’t contain her emotions, which led Emily to cry as she watched her friend struggle to deliver tough news.

Clare explained that from what she knows, Brennan has been going on dates with people outside of his marriage to Emily. Cameron, her estranged husband who she separated from after just a month of the MAFS experience, told her that Brennan’s been hoping to go on double dates with him that don’t involve Emily. Hurt, Emily wasn’t sure if she believed the accusation, but knew she had to take it in stride. She thanked Clare for letting her know but explained that she wasn’t really sure what she could do about Brennan straying if that’s what he wanted to do.
