As someone who’s been through the rollercoaster of love myself, I can understand both Alex and Holly’s predicament. It’s clear that when you fall deeply for someone, you tend to overlook certain aspects that might not align with your usual preferences. However, when it comes to children, that’s a game changer.


Fans of Married at First Sight UK have labeled the series as a complete joke, due to the experts seemingly overlooking a key preference expressed by one of the contestants.

In the most recent episode of E4’s series, Alex Henry and Holly Ditchfield exchanged vows, however, even though the wedding seemed perfect, many spectators anticipated issues in their relationship due to a significant issue that could potentially derail their union.

Originally, Alex, aged 28, expressed his preference for marrying someone without offspring due to lacking ‘fatherly feelings.’ However, surprisingly, he ended up being paired with Holly, 29, a mother of two, who became a parent at the young age of 16.

As a lifestyle expert, I often emphasize that while shared preferences about having children can significantly impact romantic relationships, it’s essential not to overlook other areas of compatibility. For instance, in my professional opinion, physical attraction plays a pivotal role in the initial stages of a connection. To illustrate this point, let me quote one of my esteemed colleagues: ‘In terms of appearance, they are precisely what the other is seeking’.

As the events transpired, viewers swiftly criticized the show for neglecting Alex’s tastes. They labeled the experts as disorganized and ineffective, all the while questioning: “How could you possibly overlook something so obvious?

In conversation with X, previously recognized as Twitter, they wrote: ‘Wait, the experts paired someone with children to someone who expressed a strong dislike of having children…’

I partially understand the actions the experts took with Holly and Alex, but the children’s aspect seems glaringly obvious. How could one possibly overlook it?

It’s perfectly fine if you don’t wish to form a relationship with someone who already has children. However, it’s important to note that it’s not ethical for self-proclaimed experts to intentionally pair up an individual who doesn’t want to date someone with kids, which seems quite illogical and misguided.

As a committed supporter, I can’t help but challenge the wisdom of these supposed experts. When arranging a match for a single mother, they fail to inquire about the potential partner’s feelings regarding children. Isn’t this the most fundamental question? After all, it seems crucial to know if both parties share similar aspirations concerning family growth.

It seems unwise to match someone unprepared to become a stepparent with an individual who already has children.

‘Once more, these professionals seem to be missing the mark concerning Alex and Holly. The older gentleman clearly prefers someone without children! One has to wonder why they keep making this mistake. Surely there must be some kind of evaluation based on their job performance because their work seems to be subpar.’

Prior to taking the aisle, beautician Holly confessed that she felt anxious about disclosing to her soon-to-be husband that she was a single mom.

She soon confessed all to Alex while taking their pictures and though initially taken aback, Alex vowed to be supportive as he told her: ‘Ok…. I got you though, don’t worry.’

Later on, it became evident that Birmingham-born Alex held a certain stance when he expressed this to Jack, his friend of Holly’s, during the reception: his preference was for someone who did not have children.

Jack inquired, “Since one of your kids is a teen, what are your thoughts about engaging in activities related to that age group?

In a straightforward manner, Alex responded: “I’ll be honest with you, mate. Since I don’t have children of my own, I haven’t developed those paternal instincts because I haven’t needed to. It was more of a preference if they didn’t have kids.

Yet, he hastened to clarify: “On the contrary, for me, when I become deeply smitten with someone, I tend to disregard those imperfections for that special individual.

Worried about his friend, Jack quickly shared with Holly the words that Alex had spoken, which led to the bride shedding tears.

She cried out: ‘Children are the essence of my existence. If he’s not interested in having kids or being with kids, that would pose a significant challenge for me.’

Despite the hiccup, the couple later kissed and made up. However, MAFS UK viewers were still left doubtful over the future of their relationship. 

This month, it came to light that Alex had been imprisoned due to his absence from duty to participate in a Channel 4 dating program earlier on.

An Royal Air Force personnel left his duty station at an electronic warfare facility, possibly motivated by affection or the pursuit of recognition, yet against his superior’s wishes. Subsequently, he made a public appearance on television.

He was based at RAF Spadeadam in Cumbria and requested additional time off to participate, but his request was denied.

A 28-year-old resident of Birmingham was arrested by the military upon his arrival back home, spending 24 out of a total 34 days in prison for his punishment.

According to what his representative shared with The Sun, he willingly came back from filming and surrendered to the military officials on his own accord.

‘He was sentenced to 34 days in a military prison and served 24 as a model inmate.’
