Emily Balch and Brennan Shoykhet can put their turbulent Married at First Sight experience behind them and never look back, as the season 17 couple is officially divorced.
Emily posted the exciting news on social media and shared an email confirming the end of her marriage.
The road was rocky for the former couple and after the events in season 17, the two no longer speak to each other.
When the couple got married, there was a glimmer of hope, but it soon became clear that this union had not fallen from the sky.
Interestingly, Brennan initially received harsh criticism from viewers over the failure of the marriage, as he lost interest early in the season.

The tables turned when information came out that the entire cast had planned to fake their relationships from the beginning.
After a while, it became difficult to distinguish what was real and what was fake, as women turned against men and blamed them when something went wrong.
Fans of the series were outraged by the cast’s deceptions and ultimately called the season the worst in the show’s history.
The couple Emily Balch and Brennan Shoykhet from the 17th season of MAFS are divorced
Emily and Brennan ended the reunion on a bitter note as they met in person for the first time since filming the show.
Brennan was already in a new relationship and Emily was still very bitter about his behavior during their marriage.
Fortunately, the former MAFS couple can now move on as they are no longer husband and wife.
Emily posted a screenshot of an email she received with the good news on her Instagram story.
The email said, in part: “Here you will find a copy of the divorce decree issued by the court. As of today, you are officially divorced.”
The former season 17 contestant also took a dig at Brennan, writing in the post: “OFFICIALLY FREE FROM 😈 & happily divorced.”
Emily Balch talks about her MAFS experience
If you thought Emily was done and ready to leave MAFS behind, you are wrong!
Throughout the season, she expressed her disdain for being on the show, and now she wants to spill the beans on everything we didn’t see.
In another post, the 32-year-old told her followers that she would share everything on Instagram Live.
Emily wrote in a long message that she would share some fun facts about the “MAFS trial” and about “that (shitty// semi-funny) divorce trial (with more evidence of Brennan’s failed 🤡 attempts).”
Emily also plans to reveal more about her ATV accident “and the health issues” she continues to struggle with, as well as “more about my bank account emptying because of all of this!!”
“Stay tuned,” she added.
“Married at First Sight” is currently on hiatus.
