Married At First Sight season 18 star Michelle Tomblin is known for her ambitions and desire to be independent, but there's more than what meets the eye. Michelle joined season 18, hoping to find a life partner to help her grow professionally and personally. The MAFS season 18 cast member was eager to meet her soulmate and envisioned a perfect relationship. However, that didn't happen. The experts matched Michelle with David Trimble, and their relationship hasn't been the best despite seeming compatible on paper.
Their pairing has sparked concerns about past mismatches despite promises that season 18 would differ from the disastrous MAFS season 17. Just as Michelle thought she was starting a new chapter as a married woman, David revealed he lived in his parents' basement. Despite being each other's type, Michelle found it difficult to come to terms with David’s living arrangements; she was fixated on how unattractive that was, which made Michelle treat David differently. Here are some interesting facts about Michelle that might explain her personality.
Michelle's Age
She's 38 Years Old
At the time of shooting MAFS, Michelle was 38 years old, but her exact birthday is still unknown, which makes it impossible to know her zodiac sign. MAFS season 18 casting happened in early 2023, with the final casting call sent in May 2023. Therefore, Michelle was born between 1984 and 1985. Astrology does influence how people view love and relationships and could explain why David's living situation repulsed Michelle.
