MAFS UK couple Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor reveal ‘marriage and kids are definitely on the cards’ as they open up about their relationship

Married At First Sight stars Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor revealed they 'definitely want to get married' and have children together as they opened up about their relationship.

The duo originally married Brad Skelly and Adrienne Naylor respectively on the E4 show, but their respective romances both ended and led to their surprise union.

Now, the reality star couple is ready to take their relationship to the next level as they discussed marriage and starting a family.

Speaking in an interview with OK! MagazineMatt, 29, and Shona, 31, said they would like to get married in Britain so their family can attend and have a 'great honeymoon in Bali'.

Matt said: 'We definitely want to get married. Getting married abroad would be nice, but logically we would do it in Britain if we have family coming. We do need money, so there won't be a ring anytime soon!

'But I would like to propose at some point. Let's see how things go next year in terms of finances, but it's definitely possible!'

Shona added: “Yes, we have talked about getting married. Matt has said he will wear a kilt because my family is Scottish. We've talked about engagement rings, we just need the money first.'

The couple went on to say that they are also “on the same page about children” and hope to have two.

Shona continued: “I want two children. I'm turning 32 next year, so I definitely want babies in the next few years. It's mental, but when you know it, you know it, and it just works. And it can move at a healthy pace. I am not afraid of anything.'

As the year draws to a close, Shona and Matt revealed their plans for the new year as they hope to go on their 'first holiday' together and 'move in'.

The couple confirmed their relationship last month after taking separate trips on Married At First Sight.

In an earlier conversation with OK! revealed Shona, who was kicked out of the experiment due to the toxicity of her marriage: 'We have a very healthy, happy, safe, fun relationship – I really appreciate Matt, it's what I deserve, we deserve each other.'

Matt admitted they 'had to be so careful' to keep their romance a secret and while it would have been 'incredible' to have been linked from the start, he admitted: 'I think it was for a purpose on this way happened.'

Shona continued: “I'm proud to be his girlfriend and it just works. Matt would be driving and I would be in the back, we would be walking through Nottingham and I would be all the way there, we were like secret agents on a mission'.

Matt added: 'We had to do it, we had to be so careful…

'We had to do what we had to do, my experience was good, but we were meant to go on those trips to find each other… Being together from the beginning would have been incredible, but I think it took a while happened this way. goal.'

Earlier this year, Shona appeared on the podcast It's Not You, It's Them, But It Might Be You with LalalaletMeExplain.

She told the dating expert about some of Brad's behavior that wasn't seen on the Channel 4 show.

Shona started by saying, “The majority of Bradley's inexcusable behavior actually happened off camera and there was an incident after our third dinner which then led to the experts intervening and choosing to send us home…

“And I won't share the details because it's just too much. It's too much for me to go into. But something I'd like to share with you is an example of something that didn't make the edit, but that happened in front of people…

“We were at a second CC and my friend, Laura in the cast, just got called a gold digger by another cast member, Luke.

“And a little context: Bradley throughout the whole experiment, he's done TV before. So he kept saying, “Don't do this, don't do that, I'm getting irritated because you don't listen to me and you don't experience drama. We are not drama…

“Your yoga vibes and meditation vibes,” blah, blah, blah. And I'm sitting there and my heart goes out for Laura and I think I want to stand up for hate confrontation no matter what. And as soon as I do, Bradley, let's get off my hand…

'And he goes. “What the hell are you doing?” And I just freeze and I come out like a deer in headlights, you can see it in the edit and I kind of stumble over my words, my argument is bullshit.”

An emotional Shona added: “I'm really ashamed. And then he just says, “Good job, you totally destroyed yourself there”…

“And I just sat there. “Bradley, you can't talk to me like that.” I run to the toilet, have a massive panic attack and have to sit on the sofa.'

Matt, meanwhile, clashed with Adrienne over their conflicting views on children – with the former wanting to have children and the latter not.

In the last week of the experiment, when the topic of starting a family came up, Matt said, “Is there any reason why we shouldn't work on the outside? We want to travel, we want to do things. One day I would like to have children.'

Adrienne turned serious and replied, “I think we're in a great place and I think the world is yours.”

'But it does worry me that you do want children. I've always said, 'I don't want them.' And I've never met anyone that made me want to change that answer.” Matt looked disappointed and replied, “Ummm…do you think this can be changed?”
