Ah! Oh, my gosh.
[dramatic music]
- I'll be honest, I'm pretty scared.
I can feel the nerves really starting to kick in.
Because now I'm just playing in my head.
What if she doesn't like what she sees?
- [exhales deeply] OK, I'm gonna throw up.

But if I'm standing up there.
And, you know, I see her friends and family worried,
and I see her bridesmaids come down
with a look of confusion and--

be the first time where I'll be like, oh, [bleep], you know?
It might-- things might get crazy.
But other than that, I think we're--
I think we're set up for some good things to happen today.
- Today is Chloe and Michael's wedding.
And although standing at the altar
and facing the unknown a second time is,
no doubt, a scary thing to do,
in another "Married at First Sight"
first, the other couples who have stood exactly
where Michael is standing will be there to support him.
- I'm really excited to be, you know,
a part of his special day.
I know if--he's probably freaking out.
If he's feeling anything like how
I was feeling on my wedding day,
he's probably, like, you know, panic mode.
So if we can just be any sort of calming energy for him,

emotions I didn't even know I could feel. [laughs]
Ah, my biggest hope for today
is that I get to the end of that aisle,

together and, ah, that he is as excited and committed as I am.

- We are "Married at First Sight" veterans.
[laughter]
- I can't wait to meet him.
I can't wait for you all to meet him.
I think every relationship I've had, I loved them,
but we were never right for each other.
And I think we knew that from the beginning.
And this is, like, the first time
that you guys are seeing me at this level of commitment.
Ah! Oh, my gosh, wow.
For me, as a recovering perfectionist,
I didn't allow myself to have any flaws.
And so in past relationships, I haven't been vulnerable.
I haven't been raw.
I haven't been as emotionally available
as is required to have a really healthy, happy marriage.
- He's gonna be so head over heels for you.
- Oh, my gosh, I hope so.
- I can't wait to see his face when he sees you.
- And so I am letting go of all control,
and I'm here to pour out all of my emotions and my feelings
and meet the man that I've been waiting for my entire life.
- Oh, my goodness. - Oh, my gosh.
- I'm shaking. I'm so nervous.
I've literally gone from single last night to--[chuckles]
- Engaged and married. - Committed in perpetuity.
Yeah. - It's been a ride.
- Oh, it's crazy. I hope he likes old dogs.
[laughter]
I've got a bad habit of showing up with them.
[laughter] Surprise.
Here's a 14-year-old blind miniature poodle.
[laughter]
[sighs]
I just want him to be authentically himself.
[upbeat music]
- Danny, you didn't get to be a part of the festivities
the first time around... [laughter]
But you are coming into this with fresh eyes, right?
- Personally, I don't know if I can handle it,
but you're kind of built for this.
Like, you go with things very naturally, right?
Things happen, you just kind of flow with it.
And to go through it again,
I just wish you the best of luck.
You don't need it, though, right?
- I mean, I'll take it.
My first wedding felt like the biggest personal failure
that I've ever experienced.
And having to face that again is super scary.
But I know how I want my life to be.
I know I want to spend it with the person I love
who wants the light in my life, who wants to be, you know,
someone that brings me happiness and brings me joy,
even at first glance.
I've had more time to, like, reevaluate this
and kind of mentally and emotionally prepare myself.
And I'd love to travel the world with her,
do all the finer things.
But really what's missing is all those little small things,
like going to the grocery store on a random Tuesday night.
But now that I know what it feels like to see someone
walk up and you know there's uneasiness,
I do fear the knowledge of knowing what that looks like.
Like, when I see her, I'll know immediately
if, like, something is up-- - Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
- Or if we're all good.
So I'm hoping for the latter.

- I think it's pretty amazing
how much one can change on their journey.
Because I don't even think a year or two ago,
this would have been an option for me.
I actually think my perfectionism dictated
a lot of the decisions I made in relationships
because I was looking for what's perfect on paper
instead of having a partner
that wants to be emotionally available and compromise
and really, truly love one another.
I've dated some very lame men. [laughter]
And I came to a place where I felt like
everything I've ever been doing wasn't working.
So I had to do something different.
So I'm not projecting that perfect white picket fence
onto anybody anymore.
So now I'm just excited for that emotionally available,
kind, big-hearted, wonderful man.
You know, we said-- so last time we were in Vegas
and we were sitting and talking about
me having a partner for the next time we were all together.
And if everything goes the way that I'm wanting it to,
I am manifesting that my partner will be
sitting in that empty chair.
And Jody and Ryan made me take a photo of that empty chair
like a creep.
And I still have that empty chair photo.
- We're gonna fill it next year.
- Was that 2021? - That was last year.
And now we're about to fill that empty chair.

- I'll show you guys what I plan to wear today.
The first time around, I think I shared it with you guys,
was like, OK, well, I'll be understated.
So, like, the focus will be on, like, who's Mike as a person...
[laughter] You know?
I think this time, we're gonna go the inverse.
- Oh, God.
- I feel like you could still find out
who Mike is as a person while he's in loud clothing.
- Does it involve a skirt this time?
- No, no, no, no skirt this time.
- All right. [laughs] - That's--look, I'm not gonna--
I don't want to scare her off. [laughter]
You know, you got to break them into that.
[upbeat music]
I definitely try to express myself creatively
through my fashion.
You know, I know that I'm a little bit more
of an acquired taste.
And, you know, being rejected at the altar was humiliating.
It was embarrassing.
But the time I've had since then to kind of internally,
you know, emotionally and mentally tune myself,
I have even more confidence
I'm ready to be married.
And I really want this wedding to feel special and different.
So this time around,
I want to be more of a true reflection of who I am.
Because I just want her to be willing to accept
who I am as a person.
But I'm hoping it's not, you know, overstimulation.
- So what kind of lady are you ready to present this to?
- Hopefully one that can just, like, appreciate it.
Like, she doesn't need to be eccentric like this.
There's enough eccentric-ism coming from me alone.
If she happens to be a woman that
really likes a more, like, clean-cut presentation,
that might--this might scare her a little bit.
But I really hope that's not the case.
[somber music]
- What about on the personal level, personality?
- That, I do think a dynamic-ness is needed.
- Mm-hmm.

she can kind of appreciate our humor, you know?

to really play off that.

- I think the biggest thing on my mind
is no one's good enough for you.
- Aw.
- So I'll be nice, but I'm gonna be very protective.
- Yeah.
- And I just hope that he knows how great you are.
[tender music]
- My biggest fear is him not feeling the same way
about me that I do about him.
What if I fall head over heels in love for this man,
and he's like, she's not it?
That's really scary.
And so if he gets out there
and decides that this was not the journey he intended,
ugh, I'm already committed.
So it's gonna be a little bit--
by a little, I mean a lot-- devastating if he's like,
eh, not what I would have chosen for myself.
So it's possible. It happens all the time.
And I am hoping for a lifetime of joy.
That's what I want.

You know, after this--
I don't know what it looks like after the ceremony.
That, to me, is the great unknown.

- Don't try to fight it. Like, it's gonna feel like a ton,
but just stay true to yourself, man.
- I'll do my best. - Definitely keep that in mind.
Because it does-- it gets tough.
It can get tough.
But I mean, yeah, like he said, as long as you're open,
as long as you're ready for it, I mean,
yeah, the sky's the limit, man.
I'm supporting Mike, who's getting married,
but there's a little sadness in the air, you know,
just because this is where Lauren and I started.
But it's not really where her and I are at.
And considering all the things that happened the last time
we all got together at the potluck,
I'm just pretty nervous seeing Lauren again.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to say
or really just how to approach it.
But, you know, ultimately, this is Mike's day.
And the focus is my boy getting married,
meeting his wife.
He deserves this. He deserves this.

- And the reason why they were here to show their support
is so originally, there was an attempt
for me to be married at first sight along with them.
But that did not happen.
The woman that they had matched me up with at the time
felt like she couldn't go through with it.
But I just want you to know that
our journey is our journey.
I don't want you to think that you're receiving,
like, a broken man or there's any, like,
residual from that first experience.
Like, there's none of that. Like, this is uniquely ours.
And for all intents and purposes,
I'm here to experience this with you.
- What is meant for us will never, ever, ever pass us.
- I like that. What is meant will never, ever pass us.
- She wasn't meant for you. - No.
- And now we're here. - And now we're here.
- And it's gonna be epic. - I think so.

- I'm excited for them, man.
I think they like each other. - I do, too.
I do, too. - Spirits are high.
- Yeah. - She's cute.
The energy, she's giving.
- I just feel like Chloe's, like, a fun name.
- No, and I feel like--
I was seeing that they were into each other.
Maybe I was wrong about that, but I was getting that vibe.
[upbeat music]
So I'm happy.
- I mean, I thought the vows were a little, like,
vanilla, to be honest.
Like, nothing stuck out.
- OK, Emily. [laughter]
- I think--she just thought Michael--
- No, I just thought Michael was gonna, like,
say something--
- He's like, this is my second round of vows.
- That is true. - Give him some grace.
- She didn't run, so, like-- - I know.
That's what I said. That's a good start.
- So these are the lovely other people
that I've gotten to meet. all: Hi!
- Join us. - You look stunning.
- Welcome to the group. - Thank you.
- We brought champagne. - Hell yeah.
- It was--it was awesome seeing you guys in there.
- Yeah, how did that feel?
- It kept my nerves at bay.
- Did it?
- Because it was like, I got to look at my side of the aisle.
I got to look at her side of the aisle
and still see familiar faces on both sides.
- Yeah.
- We should probably introduce ourselves.
- Yeah. - I'm Clare. I'm Clare.
My husband's not here today, but his name is Cameron.
So you'll get to meet him. - Hi, I'm Emily.
- Hi, Emily. - Nice to meet you.
- Oh, it's so nice to meet you.
- I'm Brennan. - Hi, Brennan.
- I'm Lauren. - I'm Orion.
- Hi, Orion. [laughter]
Coming in, it's a little nerve-racking,
being the new girl on the block,
but I'm excited to get a feel for
what being married to a stranger has done for them.
♪
Well, I can't wait to get to know all of you.
- Same. - This is unexpected.
I was not supposed to be here. - You were supposed to be here.
♪
You didn't know you were supposed to be here.
- But you're here.
- I was just telling Chloe, like,
how supportive you guys have been.
I did explain to her in a Cliff notes version
of the-- [laughter]
- Can't wait for the details.
- I mean, that's all it really was.
[laughter] - It really was, yeah.
Uniqueness of the unique experience that I've had.
- Yeah, it's unique all around.
So, like, we're just a unique bunch.
- That's it.
- And just welcome to more uniqueness.
- Yeah, it really was, yeah.
- Cheers to Michael and Chloe. [all cheering]
- I will always top off on a day when I've been shaking.
- I heard you might be my wine girl.
I love my wine.
- I have been steadily shaking all day.
- We all know how that feels. - How have the nerves been?
Have they settled a bit? - Oh, they have.
- They have? Good. - Did they settle?
- I feel like they found my match.
The second I saw that pink suit and--
- I mean, I knew it was gonna be a make-or-break moment.
I was gonna see on her face.
- We're gonna have a lot of fun getting to know each other.
- I would agree. - Yeah.
- Aw. - Oh.
- This is gonna be good. - I'm so happy.
- Yeah, this is gonna be great.
- It feels awesome to have that positive momentum to start.
Well, cheers, guys. - Cheers to a new couple.
- Thank you guys for celebrating with us.
- Cheers!
- You know, obviously, I had to consider the possibility
of her not wanting to do this,
but not only do I not have to consider that possibility,
I'm closer to, like, a best-case scenario.
Because what I had hoped for is, like, seeing someone
who is excited, seeing someone who's optimistic,
and at least getting a sense that they are attracted to me.
And I feel like I got all three of those things.
[all cheering]
[applause] - Oh!
- OK, and then I'm gonna place you two right in the middle.
We're just gonna do a big group photo.
- Sure. - I need a hug first.
- Oh, of course, of course.
- Hey, Mom, have you met my husband?
- I'm Carla. - Michael.
- Nice to meet you. - Lovely to meet you.
- Get in nice and close for me and then look this way
and just smile right here. Ready?
One, two, three.

- Amazing. Got it.
Mike and Chloe, we're gonna go out this door
and go take some portraits of you guys, OK?
- Taking our wedding photos is way too comfortable.
He just has such a warmth about him.
So when he was holding my hand or putting his hand
on my back, it just feels really organic
and soft and comfortable.
And that makes me so happy.
- Just kind of hang out. You guys can talk.
I'm gonna back up and get, like, a wide shot.
- Sure. - OK.
Oh, we've got a lot ahead of us.
Now that I see you and I know who you are--
- It's, like, calming you down? - I am at peace.
- I'm, like, a pretty good calming effect.
- That's good. That's what I need.
That's what I need--[coughs]
As evidenced by my anxiety cough.
- [laughs]
- So tell me about your tattoos.
I want to know them. I want to see them.
- So we got a good amount.
My first one would be, like, my arm here,
which most of this is, like, an homage to my family,
primarily my--my father because he
passed away when I was 14.
So here is, like, a timeline of when our lives intersected.
And there's, like, thorns and vines
and then flowers up here.
- Mm-hmm. - And then I do have--
I think that the L is on this side.
- Yeah, it is. - So that's from my mom.
And then on this side is a purple diamond.
That is in homage to my sister.
Because my sister's probably, like, one of the most
unique people I know. - OK.
- And her color is purple. So I was like, all right,
like-- - Aw.
- And these have been the most consistent women in my life.
- I love it, I love it. - So there's a lot more here.
So I'll have to, like, walk you through each one.
- I like your commitment level. That actually speaks volumes.
- [chuckles]
The first time around, I saw someone
who didn't see what they wanted to see.
So to already get, like, that initial,
let's call it positive feedback,
I couldn't feel more affirmed
that we truly are a great match together.
- Isn't this supposed to be awkward?
- It's not awkward for you? - No.
- Great. - Could do this all day.
- I love to hear that. - Yeah.
- Not only that, I feel like in our own way,
we've already kind of started to develop,
like, an intimate relationship.
- Go ahead and drop her dress.
- [laughs] We almost had it.
- And then, Mike, I'm gonna actually put you on this side.
- This side right here? - Over here.
Perfect. I love this hug.
It's so cute.

- All right. - Cheers.
- To happy marriages.
- Happy marriages and learning. - Learning.
- Aw, they're so cute.
- So how have you been since, I guess, everything?
- Really good.
I'm starting back, like, yoga and, like, meditation
and, like, sound bowl.
Like, it feels good to just, like,
get back in the groove of things.
- How have you been with, I guess,
emotionally getting back into the groove of things?
- It's, like, up and down. Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah. - Just up and down.
- It's been a lot of up and down.
- Yeah.
- Oh, thank you.
[indistinct chatter]
Well, hey,
before tonight ends,
if you want to have a conversation about anything.
- No, uh...
I don't have any lingering animosity towards you.
Or towards, like, anything that happened.
I'm just trying to figure out what's OK to say.
- Jokes about each other's background and culture,
I mean, I wouldn't deem that OK.
I wouldn't do that to you.
- I just had this huge blow-up with him
in which I was yelling and I asked for a divorce
because--[sniffles]
He told me that he feels like I failed him
and I failed the marriage.
- So are you saying you cannot forgive her?
- I--it's-- I can't do it.
I want to follow through with wanting a divorce.
[tense music fading]
- Being able to, like, step back, like,
and, like, take emotions out of everything...
- Yeah.
- And step back and, like, look at it, like,
from a bird's eye view kind of has been refreshing.
Like, the day that I yelled and took my ring off,
like, that [bleep] scared me.
Because I don't--like, I'm not gonna say,
like, I don't raise my voice.
But when I yelled and took my ring off,
I was like, I've never gotten like that.
And that made me not scared,
but it was like, I was triggered.
I don't know what's triggering me.
So I was like, why? I asked my therapist.
I said, what is this?
And I realized that I am carrying hurt
from my past two relationships
of being told, like, you're not enough.
You're not doing enough.
And no matter what you do, you're not gonna be enough.
- So then you probably overhearing
me say my wife doesn't have my back probably hit...
- It did. - Something that--
- That wasn't just that. It was that...
but it was also, like, oh, [bleep].
I don't have childhood wounds, but I got relationship wounds.
And so I'm now like, now I got to, like, work on those.
- Yeah.
One of the biggest things I talked about with my therapist
is how my stubbornness comes through.
She asked me, when was the first time you decided
to not want this in your life?
You know, just, like, yelling and just, like--like,
just verbal abuse, basically,
which is not what I would consider what you did.
I wouldn't consider it abuse. - Thank you for saying that.
- Yes, yes. No, I want to make that clear.
But no, when I did experience it, you know, I was a kid.
You know, I watched my-- just the women of my family.
You know, they got cheated on, they got yelled at, just--
and I watched it happen in front of me.
You know, I was, like, five years old
the first time it happened.
It got a little worse, worse, worse through the years.
But I mean, just through all of those years,
it was just like I don't ever want
to have just an elevated voice in conversation, you know?
And so that was something, you know,
she brought to light for me that, you know,
I was being stubborn on
but in a way that was protecting myself.
- Yeah, and that's what it is, I feel like,
and that's what I look at.
We were both playing defense a lot.
I feel like we've been--
and--like, and I was able to recognize that quick.
- Yeah.
- And has made me able to just, like,
not hold fault to you, not hold fault to myself,
which is really hard to not hold fault to myself in this.
- I feel that a lot. - It's really hard.
I've been beating myself up a lot.
I think that we're both gonna, like, grow a lot from this.
I think if you can't come out of this
with a successful marriage,
the least you can come out of this is--
- Yeah, a successful person.
So--
- Of course. - Yeah?
- You know I love hugs. - Genuine, just--

- Hi! - Hello!
- Here I come.
- There is the lady of the hour.
- The belle of the ball. - How are you doing?
- Thank God I wore Converse. - Yeah, heels are just not it.
You get blisters. Yeah, you can't dance.
- You can't walk. - Right.
- I missed you, man. - [laughs]
- Yeah, I really-- that's what I was saying.
Like, [bleep], as soon as he left, I missed him.
- Look, I'm here now. - Yo.
- I'm here now.
- And how do you feel that you're here now?
I mean, I know it's the second time.
- Yeah. [laughter]
- You know?
- Has that, like, weighed on you at all,
or just, like, you're just like, [bleep] it?
- Surprisingly, it hasn't.
- Are you enjoying your wedding so far?
- So I am--
in hearing what happened with Michael the first time,
I'm a little concerned
because I'm wondering why
the experts didn't see me as the fit the first time.
[downbeat music]
- So for me, at least,
I feel like you're a very genuine person, as is Michael.
He very much needs someone who's, like,
very outgoing and, like, comfortable with themself.
- Someone who matches that energy.
- Easy going. - Yeah.
And so, like, I could already just see,
today is, like, such a good--a good match.
And I don't think it's--
I would never think about it as being overlooked.
It's so cliché, but everything happens for a reason.
I think this is why you're here now.
- That's why when you said weren't supposed to be here,
I was like, no, you're supposed to be here.
- Yeah, it just took a little minute to get here.
- Let me just say, how committed is he to this
to have done that twice? You know what I mean?
Like, he--he is so willing to give himself...
- He's very committed.
- To another human being that is deserving,
and you seem so deserving.
Like, your energy is just-- I love the energy.
- It's infectious.
- And so if you give that good energy, you will receive that.
And so just continue to be yourself.
Don't lose sight of that. - Yeah.
- Oh. You know what?
Truthfully, I have said from the beginning,
I said, just give me a good man.
- Yeah. - And you got one.
- I got to ask.
Do you think that the most challenging part about this
is, like, uncovering, like, one big, huge obstacle
and having to figure out how to navigate that,
or was it, like, an accumulation
of, like, these small obstacles building up?
And, like, how would you best frame up,
like, managing those obstacles?
- Ideally, the experts matched you
based on all of the big obstacles not being a factor...
- OK.
- And that you can just have little obstacles
and go through those speed bumps, per se,
and overcome that, which is really important
in a relationship, which every couple goes through.
Theirs was unforeseen, obviously.
- Sure. - Right?
- Yeah.
- So, you know, you can't plan for that.
But the biggest thing I would say, man,
is you're gonna have your own journey,
and you're not gonna look at Orion's journey
and compare it and be like, yep, this is the same.
It's like, you're not gonna look at mine and do that.
You're gonna look at yours, and you're gonna do it your way.
And it's gonna be the right way because it's your way,
you know what I mean?
There's no right or wrong way to do it, you know, so--
- I would back that. - Yeah.
- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Like, we just want you to do you.
- There's just a comfort level already,
and I know that we kind of
have to settle into a comfort level quickly.
And maybe I was already in a place
where I was leaning in to being comfortable with him.
- Yeah.
- That's my favorite--that's my favorite phrase, lean in.
- Lean in.
- That's my phrase, just lean in.
- But that's literally the only way to do this.
- Yes, your emotions will be up and down and this and that.
But if you have someone on your team,
that would be my biggest advice,
be on each other's team.
Because Michael--I mean, I don't know him that well,
but he seems like such a well-rounded guy,
who will literally have your back
through all of the emotions you're about to experience.
- Also, like, don't forget to have fun.
When you forget to have fun,
that's when everything goes south.
It made me realize when things got rocky, like,
how important that really was. - For sure.
- And it's your night. - It's your journey.
- Literally day one. - Yes, bingo.
- What was your first impressions just seeing,
like, me and Chloe interact?
Because I mean, I felt it was super natural, but I'm biased.
- Yo, if I'm gonna be honest--
I--can I see your hands?
Like, this, this.
I loved this, watching this at the altar.
- Is it? Is it?
- Because I know he was nervous.
- I was.
She had to feel the softness, baby.
Come on now. - He was being Chloe there.
- She had to feel the softness.
- So no, I think just with that alone,
honestly, man, I think--
I think she's here for the right reasons.
- Sure.
- And I think you're gonna have a really great time.
- I'm hoping so. That's where my hope is.
- Yeah.

- I think just seeing Michael and Chloe,
their beginning of their relationship,
brings me to a space of, like, reflection.
And it's super strange to be here without Cameron.
[phone line trilling]
Being here just makes me realize, like,
yes, here's two people who
the experts wanted in each other's life.
And that's a beautiful thing.
And when they saw Cameron and I, they saw the same thing.
There's nothing different there.
Hi, Cameron, I'm just calling to see how you're doing.
I just wanted to say hey. I'm at the wedding right now.
I miss you.
This is definitely not the same without you.
And I just want to make sure you're doing OK.
And so just give me a call back when you can.
It's not urgent. I just--checking in.
The difference is is that we are paired
in such a beautiful friendship
that it's just-- it's--for me, it's like,
it makes me emotional talking about
how much it's grown and how much better it's gonna get.
- How was Cameron? - He didn't answer.
- Oh.
- Yeah, I haven't talked to him all day.
So I don't know how he's doing, honestly.
I'm stressed out. - He's probably asleep.
Honestly-- - I hope he's asleep.
- He's probably just sleep and resting.
- I feel like there's just so many emotions.
- No, there's so many emotions. - So many emotions.
- The only thing I don't feel is nervous, which is great.
Because the last time I was in this setting, I was, like--
- Shaking. - Everything's fine.
- See, I was, like, not nervous.
- I wasn't nervous, but I-- - Oh, I was.
- I know I blacked out.
- There's been several almost, like,
breaking down moments watching this wedding.
Because it's like, to be from there to where we are now,
it's just--it's hard, you know?
But I think I'm just grateful that you guys are here with me.
If this was just me at this venue with all of this,
I'd be like, this is too much.
- Ironically, I feel happy to have you guys here.
- It's so fun.
- It was good to have Orion here.
It's just good to be here.
- It's just good to, like, literally have fun.
I'm having a blast.

are working on, like, going back to that, having fun.

I was really hoping that when she walked down,
I would really pick up on, like,
that optimism and excitement.
And then that's exactly-- - That's what you got.

Like, I usually think that
I could light up a room pretty well,
but I think I would be a candle in the sun...

- What do you think about his style?
- I love it. - You love it?
- The fact that he shows up in his pink suit?
- Yep. - And his earrings.
- Yep.
- And the heart shaved into his head?
- Yeah.
- He's like, here he is.
This is what I've been waiting for.
- Now I have a challenge for you.
- OK. - Mikey comes to you.
He says, hey, there's these new shoes that I really want.
They're a thousand dollars. What do you do?
- Ah! - [chuckles]
- I am a minimalist.
So for me, I just--there's-- the joys that people
get from things, I just don't get,
but I want him to find his joy.
And if the thousand dollars he's spending on shoes
is what's bringing him his joy, I want that for him.
- From my point of view, though,
I'd love for you to tone him down in that sense.
[laughter]
- So originally,
the woman that they had matched me up with decided that,
literally on the wedding day, literally at the altar,
that she couldn't marry a stranger.
[dramatic music]
- That must have been so hard.
- It was a good test of character for me
because I was empathetic and said I understood.
I get how difficult this could be.
And you're--ultimately, it's up to you
to make the decision that's in the best
interest of your happiness.
And if you feel that that decision is--
- It shows how strong you are. I'm so proud of you.
Oh, my God, seriously. - Well, thank you.
- You're a very strong man.
- I heard that he did tell you about the previous one.
- He did.
- What are your thoughts on that?
- I have been really focused on
his feelings in what would have been
a really traumatic experience.
And I'm glad they kept me in the dark
because I probably would not have continued.
But I believe wholeheartedly that the experts
got it right with us.
My only fear is that he hasn't sat with it.
She was not meant for him.
But it doesn't mean it didn't hurt a lot.
And so, I just hope that he's had a chance
to heal from something that he may not even realize
he needed to heal from, you know?
- I mean, having known him, he's very cerebral,
and he does sit with his feelings.
And he does think about them.
And he's put in that effort and that time.
- That makes me feel better because it's a little...
- He's very intelligent. - It's a little scary.
He's very intelligent. - Oh, yeah.
- And it's just so refreshing.
Because I--I want someone that wants to learn,
and every day is a new opportunity
to learn something.
And I feel like if you've stopped learning,
you've stopped living. - Yeah.
- And if you've stopped living,
there's no further for you to go.
- Do you want to have kids?
- No. - No?
- So for me, there are 450,000 kids in foster care.
I feel like instead of putting a bun in this oven,
I can love the buns that have come
out of everybody else's ovens.
- Does he know that yet?
- We have not yet talked about--look at him.
Look how handsome he is.
No, we haven't talked about that.
I don't really want my own.
[tense music]
- I talked a lot. I should pause and see, like--
- No, you're doing great.
- Do you guys have any questions for me?
- Are you interested in children?
- I haven't had a personal emotional desire for children,
but I'm interested in the fact that I may be in love
with someone so much that if she wants children,
I wouldn't want to prevent that from happening.
- That makes it easier. - You know?
- So fostering might be an option?
- Fostering, adopting, having children of our own,
like, to me, the method is agnostic.
If we felt that the next way to continue
to fulfill our relationship was to raise children together,
I don't--I don't care. - Oh, my God.
- Oh, my gosh, I can't.
