MAFS UK Star Reiss Reveals Heartbreaking Reason Why the Matchmaking Show Must Succeed
In the latest episode of Married at First Sight UK, Reiss Boyce, a 33-year-old decorator from Essex, shared a heartfelt insight into the importance of making the matchmaking process work. On October 7, 2025, he married Leisha Lightbody, another newcomer to the show, during a ceremony broadcast on E4.
Discovering Family Truths
Reiss’s life took a significant turn when he learned at the age of seven that his father was not his biological parent. This revelation shaped his understanding of family and relationships. He expressed a desire for a stable marriage and family life, stating, “When I get married, I don’t want to be having kids and breaking up. No way!”
The Journey So Far
Before their wedding, Reiss emphasized the importance of creating a lasting bond that would keep his family united. He reflected on his childhood, describing finding out about his father as a whirlwind experience that was tough to process. “That’s why I’ve got to do it properly. I’ve got one shot here; it’s got to work,” he declared.
Initial Challenges in the Relationship
Although Reiss has high hopes for his new marriage, the start has been rocky. While he finds Leisha attractive, he perceives her as “quite loud” and “a little bit over the top.” Their first disagreement arose shortly after the wedding ceremony when Leisha confronted Reiss for only giving her a peck on the cheek in front of their guests.
