WHO is this man and what did he do with Olajuwon?!
That’s the question some “Married At First Sight” watchers asked Wednesday during the show’s reunion special. As previously reported host Kevin Frazier brought the final four couples back together to discuss the state of their marriages after ALL of them said “yes” on Decision Day.
Olajuwon Owns Up To Bad Behavior On “Married At First Sight”
First up were Olajuwon and Katina who confirmed that they were still together. Moreover, they confirmed that Olajuwon did some self-reflection after seeing himself act like an ass immaturely on TV.
O said it was “tough” to watch the moments when he berated his wife with his domestic duties demands that led to him calling her “lazy.” He also added that he wondered why no one checked him about his behavior–something social media didn’t agree with.

O also said he and Katina have “found a balance” when it comes to cooking.
“Self-reflection,” said Olajuwon about lightening up on expecting hot meals.

Olajuwon Proposes To Katina On #MAFS Reunion Special
Not only that, but Olajuwon surprised Katina with a shiny new rock after Kevin Frazier asked him if he wanted to “do something” to give Katina validation about how he believes in her.
“I need to look you in the face while I tell you this,” started Olajuwon. “I live by one thing; work hard today, focus on tomorrow and the rest is history. You embody that,” he continued. “You taught me patience and effort is the key to a happy life and a happy marriage. Katina, I couldn’t be any happier to call you my wife, and I mean that.”
He then pulled out a ring box and got down on one knee to present his wife with a shiny new ring.
“I would hope you accept this, now you know your husband, and you’re confident to continue this journey with me,” said Olajuwon.

A shocked Katina was speechless and burst into tears and O thanked her for ignoring the “Twitter fingers” of his detractors.
“I knew–My gut was telling me, don’t throw in the towel. don’t give up on him,” said Katina.
“You always treated Isaac and Olajuwon the same, as the same person,” said O referring to his pre-marriage moniker. “When everybody had the Twitter fingers and wrote online and you was reading how folks was doubting your husband, it’s very easy to follow people’s word and you never did. You always told me I have faith in you and we’ll get through this.”

The two also exchanged “I love yous” for the very first time and Olajuwon called Katina his backbone while she called him her best friend.
“Look at the growth in this man!” exclaimed Kevin Frazier.
Some #MAFS viewers agreed that O’s matured and they couldn’t be happier for him and Katina…

I’m happy for Katina and Olajuwon! As long as he’s changed enough for her and they are happy together, that’s all that matters. Nobody is in their marriage but them. #MarriedAtFirstSight pic.twitter.com/c37eprEwzX

but others still have some doubts.
Can we stop romanticizing Olajuwon and Katina’s relationship like it wasn’t abus!ve #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS pic.twitter.com/Wb2rIT6BqS

Don’t be fooled by this “self awareness” Olajuwon is trying to push. He’s still a narcissist and this is totally what they do. Let’s get ready for the love bombing ? He hasn’t changed and Katina up here lying. #MarriedAtFirstSightBoston

We’re happy for these two—-we guess? We’ll see how this plays out when “Married At First Sight’s” Where Are They Now special airs…
While Olajuwon and Katina seemingly had a happy ending on the #MAFS reunion special, another couple didn’t end on such a high note.

Hit the flip to see what transpired between Jasmina and Michael.
Jasmina and Michael did NOT have a happy ending like their friends Olajuwon and Katina. Instead, the two admitted that they called it quits TWELVE DAYS after Decision Day and it was Michael—not Jasmina, that pulled the plug.

Still, Jasmina said she had “receipts” that showed that texted her husband every day after Decision Day to try to save their marriage.

Michael admitted that communication between them caused a rift—and things were so tense after Jasmina called him “aggressive” that they didn’t speak to each for a month.
“I still stand by the word aggressive,” said Jasmina. “People can also be aggressive with the way that they speak.”
“No no even a little bit [was I aggressive],” said Michael. “That made me so nervous, that freaked me out,” he added about going silent after Jas threw out that term.

The two added that they finally had a breakthrough when they did a blindfolding exercise that Dr. Viviana recommended.
“I didn’t feel stressed anymore, I felt like I could finally be myself and show him who I am, everybody needs to do that exercise,” said Jasmina.
“It was the first time I feel like I was hearing her out and she was hearing me out because before that we weren’t doing that at all,” added Michael.
Michael And Jasmina Admit That They Couldn’t Stand Each Other At One Point
The two also shared that at a certain point they “couldn’t stand each other.” YIKES!
“We couldn’t stand each other,” Jasmina told Kevin Frazier. “We could not stand each other, that’s just the truth,” echoed Michael.
Ultimately despite making progress, they admitted that it was “too little, too late” and they broke up.
Jasmina also owned up to friend-zoning Michael from the very beginning.
“I thought that she was never into you,” said host Kevin Frazier to Michael.
“Romantically? No,” admitted Jasmina. “I was very open and I think I told him that probably too much.”

Jasmina played w/ Michael friend zoning him tbe entire process! Then had the nerve to laugh and joke about him jumping back into the dating pool. That’s not cute or funny girl. Just cruel. It’s giving ROBOT sis. No emotions. Complete brick wall? #MAFSBostonReunion. #MAFS
