As a reminder: The show tests six couples who have contrasting views on whether or not they should get married. Each couple is separated and paired with other participants as a test of loyalty to their current S.O. At the end of their journeys, the partners decide if they will stay together or part ways.

One of the most controversial original couples on the show are Madlyn and Colby.

In the beginning, Colby (ready for marriage) issued the ultimatum to Madlyn (not ready for marriage). Colby chose an alternate partner, April Marie, and Madlyn paired up with Randall Griffin.

"We were common law married — but we did go to the courthouse the next day with one of the executive producers. We had a whole day, and that was really honestly even more sweet; it was even more intimate. There wasn't a whole set of camera crews! Yeah, so we are legally married."

Colby wanted to have a big wedding later, but then Madlyn found out she was pregnant.

"Colby gave me my small wedding, and he just kind of kept going on about like, 'Man, I really want a donkey with drinks!' And he wants like a tent and a green velvet carpet. He really wants the whole thing! So I went and got a dress, but then I got pregnant. Maybe in 2023 there will be some sort of celebration, but it'll be ours. It'll be different."

Madlyn said she found out she was pregnant during the couple's joint bachelor and bachelorette party.

"We had a big beach weekend, and then we came home. I was feeling a little weird. So, I took a test. I was just shaking. I couldn't believe it. I was excited. I was scared! I don't think I slept for like three nights, but Colby [was in tears], can't wait to be a dad. He's the only person more excited about this than I was."

Madlyn also said that the pregnancy has been good for their relationship.

"Honestly, that's probably been a huge help — not because we're stuck together, but because we've been forced to make really long-term, smart, sit-down decisions. We're not out drinking every night. We're at home talking about what it's going to be to set our family up for success and be the best that we can be — not for each other only, but for our kid also. It's been everything."
