Married At First Sight: What Happened To Zack Freeman After Season 13

Zack Freeman had one of the least romantic marriages in Married At First Sightseason 13, but since his short-lived relationship came to an end, Zack has turned over a new leaf. Zack's relationship with Michaela Clark might have burned down in flames, but the reality star appears to have bounced back not long after his dramatic breakup. From adorable additions to his family to the shocking start of a relationship with a fellow season 13 cast member, Zack's post Michaela life has been wild.

Married at First Sight season 13 took place in Houston, Texas, and five couples were a part of the experiment. Season 13 aired from July 2021 to November 2021. None of the couples from the Houston season have stayed together, even though some said yes come decision day. Zack left a sour impression on viewers, as cheating, bad attitudes, and tension led his narrative.

Zack & Michaela's Married At First Sight Journey

It Was Rocky

Zack's marriage with Michaela turned out to be one of the most tumultuous relationships in the experimental dating show's history. The Lifetime pair got off to a rocky start when Zack contracted COVID-19 during the couples' honeymoon. This resulted in Zack spending most of the newlyweds' first days quarantined from one another.

While the other spouses bonded on the beach, Zack and Michaela missed out on vital time to forge a foundation. Regrettably, Zack and Michaela's connection remained on thin ice even when the husband was cleared to be within six feet of Michaela. Zack and Michaela argued often throughout season 13 and struggled to find their footing as a married couple.

On decision day, fans weren't shocked to learn Zack wanted a divorce from Michaela.

For years, fans have criticized the Married At First Sight matchmakers' ability to collect a group of compatible romantics. While the relationship experts were off their game when they paired Zack and Michaela, the group of doctors wasn't far off from matching Zack with a compatible partner. A shocking twist happened post-filming.

Zack's Post-Married At First Sight Dating Life

He Was Accused Of Cheating

During Married At First Sight: Where Are They Now?, Zack and Bao Huong Huang confirmed the riveting rumor that they'd embarked on a relationship since their pair of reality TV marriages decomposed. The duo of mismatched stars were spotted on dates together before season 13 concluded, but neither Zack nor Bao was able to confirm the status of their relationship until after the reunion. Zack and Bao agreed they wanted to try having an exclusive relationship with one another, and Bao's social media activity confirmed the pair were still spending time together.

However, things took a turn when another woman, Elena Guevara, came forward to reveal that she was dating Zack while he was in a relationship and allegedly loved Bao. The woman said she didn't know about Bao while they were dating.

“He told me that if he was photographed with another woman, then the show would sue him because everyone had to be under the impression that he and Michaela were still married.”

The alleged cheating drama caused Bao to break things off with Zack, and he remained single for a while. In December 2023, Zack debuted a new woman on his Instagram whom he called, "the love of my life." But that relationship seems to have gone south as well. Zack erased any trace of that woman off his Instagram and keeps his page very minimal. In fact, Zack hasn't shared an Instagram post since June 2023.

Zack Has Moved On

He's A Software Engineer & A Fraternity Brother

Although his split with Michaela was difficult for Zack, the former husband hasn't let his unsuccessful marriage get him down. On Instagram, Zack's demonstrated he's committed to moving on with his life in the face of his failed marriage with Michaela. On November 26, 2021, Zack shared a collage of pictures with a new companion. Instead of cuddling with Michaela, Zack's Instagram post shared that the reality star was curling up with an adorable puppy, Dior. Most of the posts on Zack's Instagram have been dedicated to his furry friends.

In June 2021, Zack announced he got a dog, Bella, in memory of his late brother, Demarcus. According to Dior's Instagram page, Zack is the puppy's uncle and still belongs to the Married At First Sight star's sibling. Regardless, Zack, Dior, and Bella are sure to spend more time together in the wake of his divorce. Zack's bio describes him as a Software Engineer, and he prodlu showcases his fraternity alumni status.

From battling COVID to arguing with Michaela, Zack didn't have the ideal Married At First Sight experience. After season 13 came to a close Zack encountered more drama that he seems to have learned from. Since Zack doesn't update fans often, viewers will have to speculate on his current love life and endeavors.

Married At First Sight airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
