Married at First Sight star Madison Myers is in hot water after developing feelings for Michelle Tombin’s husband, David Trimble. Madison, who is married to Allen Slovick has come clean about her instant chemistry with David. During a private conversation, she and David discussed the future of their respective marriages. But while Madison hopes that she and David can give their connection a shot, he doesn’t seem entirely convinced by the idea.

In an exclusive preview for the February 11, 2025, episode of Married at First Sight Season 18 shared by PEOPLE, the reality stars are seen having a heart-to-heart. During the conversation, Madison reveals that while she and David were gym buddies initially, their friendship deepened over time. David then took the chance to joke about how he got along with everyone on the show except his wife. However, he agreed with Madison and admitted that their connection was definitely strong. But then Madison would confess her feelings again. “I do like you, probably more than I should. I just wanted to be honest with you, and I don’t think that I can probably continue in my marriage personally,” she admitted. David seemed a little taken aback. He buries his face in his hands after not knowing how to respond. Madison would later continue, “I don’t think it’s fair to Allen and I know that it’s messy and I think that this could be something,”

David then took the chance to joke about how he got along with everyone on the show except his wife. However, he agreed with Madison and admitted that their connection was definitely strong. But when Madison confessed that she didn’t want to continue her marriage to Allen, Madison’s revelation comes shortly after the major texting scandal where David accidentally sent a flirty text to his wife, Michelle, which read: “You are so damn fine, I just wanna eat you up.” While he initially claimed it was meant for his cousin, he later admitted it was for a woman he met online. However, Michelle suspected that he actually meant to send the text to Madison and confronted both of them at a group dinner.

‘Married at First Sight’ Season 17 Alum Weighs In on the Drama

Chloe Brown appeared on Married at First Sight Season 17 and was set to marry Michael Shiakallis after his original partner left him at the altar. The couple ultimately split when Michael said no on Decision Day. In an interview with PEOPLE, Chloe shared what she thinks of all the drama between Madison and David and their respective partners. According to her, David’s alleged text to his adult cousin left her extremely confused. Chloe joked that Michelle’s “spidey senses” were probably tingling the minute she read the message.

While speaking about Madison and Allen, Chloe noted that Madison “works overtime” to change everything about him. Chloe believes that Allen is trying his best to do whatever it takes to make his wife happy. However, she sincerely doubts that these two will be able to make it work in the long run. Chloe expressed her disappointment and claimed that while they initially shared deep conversations about their lives, their growth as a couple was “superficial” at best.

She also spoke to PEOPLE and revealed that Madison and Allen gave her the “Ick.” Cortney believes that Madison will never let Allen out of the friend zone.
