An Open Letter from Jessica Studer to Austin Hurd and Married at First Sight Fans
As I sit down to write this, I am filled with gratitude for the journey we’ve taken together. Our story, from the moment we met at the altar on Married at First Sight, has been one of growth, love, and discovery. It’s not always easy to express everything that I feel, but today, I want to take a moment to share my thoughts and emotions not just with you, but with the fans who have supported us along the way.
Austin, I still remember the moment I saw you for the first time. There were so many nerves, but when I laid eyes on you, I felt a sense of calm. You were warm, kind, and genuine — everything I had hoped for in a partner. We took a leap of faith, two strangers putting trust in the process and, more importantly, in each other. From that first meeting, we’ve grown and learned so much about one another. It’s not always been easy, and we’ve had our moments of doubt, but I’m proud of how far we’ve come. We’ve faced challenges, but together we’ve overcome them, and each time, our bond has grown stronger.
In the months since filming ended, I’ve had time to reflect on the real journey we’ve shared. It’s one thing to fall in love in front of the cameras, but it’s a completely different experience when you get to live that love in the real world. We’ve faced ups and downs, just like any couple, but our communication, mutual respect, and deep care for one another have been the foundation of our relationship. It hasn’t been perfect, but it’s been ours. And that’s something incredibly special.
To the fans who have watched our journey unfold on Married at First Sight, I want to say thank you. Your support, your kind words, and even your constructive feedback have meant the world to us. Being on a reality TV show comes with its own set of challenges — from public scrutiny to navigating the complex dynamics of marriage while under the spotlight. But through it all, your encouragement has kept us grounded. We’ve felt your love and enthusiasm, and it has motivated us to keep working on our relationship, no matter what.
I also want to acknowledge that Married at First Sight is not just a show — it’s a process that takes real courage. You don’t sign up for this type of journey lightly. But Austin and I have always believed in the power of this experiment, in the possibility of love even when it starts out unconventional. There’s no perfect formula for a successful marriage, but we’ve found our way together, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of all of you who’ve been there cheering us on.
As we continue our journey together, I’m excited about what the future holds. We have dreams, plans, and goals, and we are committed to building a life that’s filled with love, joy, and partnership. Our story is far from over, and I’m looking forward to the chapters yet to be written.
To Austin: I am so thankful for you every single day. You are my partner, my best friend, and the love of my life. I can’t wait to see where we go next.
To our fans: Your support has meant everything. Thank you for being part of our journey. We are so lucky to have you alongside us.
With love and gratitude,
