When Married at First Sight returns for its fifteenth season on Lifetime on July 6, 2022, one familiar expert will not be there. Dr. Viviana Coles has confirmed she will not return to the show.

It had been rumored for weeks that one of the experts would be fired. People guessed it would be Dr. Viviana. She has left, but there is no evidence that she was fired. When she confirmed her departure on Instagram, she stated that she has been busy with meaningful projects in her professional and personal life. Therefore, she has decided to focus more energy on new exciting opportunities to help others with their intimate relationships. She concluded her message by saying how grateful she has been while working with the reality series for over seven seasons and working with the Kinetic Content production company.

Dr. Viviana took the opportunity to leave details on Instagram about her private practice, her book, and all the programs she has online.

Many people on social media said they will miss Dr. Viviana because she was the only expert who didn't hold back on telling the couples what they needed to hear. She did not beat around the bush or sugarcoat her conversations with them. Also, fans said they will miss seeing her fashion choices.

Relationship Experts

Since Married at First Sight premiered on July 8, 2014, the relationship experts have been replaced several times. Two new experts will join Pastor Calvin Roberson who has been with the reality show since Season 4, and Dr. Pepper Schwartz, the only original expert and now the only Caucasian on the team.

The Chicago native will work along with DeVon Franklin to help ten newlyweds adjust to married life after they meet for the first time at the altar and marry the stranger standing before them.

New Expert: DeVon Franklin

DeVon Franklin is a 44-year-old Hollywood producer, bestselling author, and a relationship advisor. Franklin is also a Seventh-day Adventist minister. Some people are wondering why he was asked to be a relationship expert following his recent divorce from actress Meagan Good especially after they co-wrote the relationship book, The Wait: A Powerful Practice for Finding the Love of Your Life and the Life You Love.

Franklin and Good were married from June 2012 to September 2021. Franklin is the one who filed for divorce after nine years of marriage

Franklin explained in detail why he will be a relationship expert after his recent divorce. He revealed that he was asked to be an expert before his divorce. After his divorce, he told the producers that he decided not to become a relationship on the show because of his divorce. The producers told him that it didn't matter. In fact, they told him that he would be equipped to tell the newlyweds what not to do based on his recent experience. That convinced Franklin to share the responsibility with Dr. Pia Holec, another new relationship expert.

Being divorced hasn't stopped Dr. Pepper Schwartz from being an expert on Married at First Sight. Viewers learned during Season 14 that she has been married three times and divorced twice. She and her current husband live in separate houses. Dr. Pepper shared that information with Noi when Noi was determined not to move in with Steve, her new husband.
