"Married at First Sight" stars Erik Lake and Virginia Coombs are getting a divorce after less than a year of marriage. The couple broke the news of their divorce in a statement to E! News on July 15.
Erik and Virginia's statement said, "We've made best efforts to keep some parts of our relationship out of the public eye. This entire process has been difficult as is without the constant chatter of public opinion." So Erik and Virginia don't want to hear the fan chatter? They each signed up to marry a total stranger on reality TV, and their divorce is currently being filmed for "MAFS," per Page Six.
In their statement, the "MAFS" stars said they have been trying to "make the marriage work since Decision Day." But Erik and Virginia said the door was still open for a future relationship. "While we have decided to get a divorce, we aren't closing the doors on a possible future together. We love each other and will continue to navigate our new reality post-show." We wish Erik and Virginia the best during this difficult time.
