By Stig Editor Heartwarming News: ‘Married at First Sight’ Alums Mindy Shiben and Steve Moy Announce They’re Expecting Their First Baby!
September 28, 2025
In a delightful twist that has fans of Married at First Sight buzzing with excitement, former stars Mindy Shiben and Steve Moy have revealed they’re expecting their first child together. The couple, who found love in an unexpected way long after their respective seasons on the hit Lifetime series, shared the joyful announcement on social media over the weekend, sending their followers into a frenzy of well-wishes and celebratory emojis.
Mindy, known for her poised and resilient demeanor during Season 10 in Washington, D.C., where she was matched with Zach Justice, posted a heartfelt Instagram carousel that melted hearts across the internet. The photos featured the couple cradling Mindy’s growing baby bump during a scenic sunset walk, interspersed with ultrasound images and a candid shot of Steve planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. “We’ve been keeping this little secret close to our hearts, but the time has come to share our biggest adventure yet,” Mindy captioned the post. “Baby Moy-Shiben is on the way, arriving spring 2026. Grateful for this love, this life, and the family we’re building. 💕 #MAFSBaby #Expecting #LoveWins”
Steve, the charming tech entrepreneur from Season 14 in Boston, echoed the sentiment in his own post, adding a touch of humor that fans adore. “From mismatched matches to the perfect team—now we’re adding a tiny referee to keep us in line,” he wrote alongside a video of the couple dancing goofily in their living room. “Mindy, you’re my rock, my joy, and soon, the world’s coolest mom. Can’t wait to meet our little one. #DadToBe #MAFSMiracle”
The road to this announcement hasn’t been a straight one for the pair. Mindy and Steve first crossed paths at a Married at First Sight alumni event in early 2023, bonding over shared stories of heartbreak and hope from their time on the show. Mindy had endured a painful early exit from her marriage due to mismatched chemistry, while Steve’s season ended without a lasting connection despite his earnest efforts. What started as a casual coffee chat blossomed into a deep romance, with the couple going public in mid-2023 and moving in together just months later—a milestone that quelled earlier rumors and solidified their commitment.
Since then, they’ve become one of the franchise’s most inspiring success stories, often sharing glimpses of their life in Chicago, where Mindy runs her wellness coaching business and Steve advances his career in software development. Their relationship has been a beacon for fans, proving that love can find you when you least expect it—even if it’s not through the experts’ initial picks. Earlier this year, in August 2025, they surprised everyone by announcing their engagement during a romantic getaway to the Amalfi Coast, complete with a custom ring featuring intertwined infinity symbols to represent their “endless second chance.”
The baby news comes as no surprise to those who’ve followed their journey closely. Subtle hints—like Mindy’s sudden aversion to her favorite sushi spots and Steve’s excited late-night scrolls through baby name books—had savvy followers speculating for weeks. Fellow MAFS alums were quick to flood the comments with love. “Screaming!! This is the kind of happy I live for,” gushed Noi Phommasak from Season 16. Chris Collette, Steve’s season mate, added, “From Boston heartbreak to family man—proud of you, brother! Uncle Chris reporting for diaper duty.” Even Lindy Elloway from Season 16 chimed in: “You two deserve all the joy. Baby’s got the best parents in the game!”
As Married at First Sight continues to evolve with new seasons and spin-offs, stories like Mindy and Steve’s remind us why the show resonates so deeply: it’s not just about the weddings, but the real, messy, beautiful lives that unfold afterward. With a little one on the horizon, this power couple is poised to add another chapter to their fairy tale—one filled with lullabies, late nights, and lots of laughter.
Congratulations to Mindy, Steve, and their growing family. We can’t wait to see what comes next!
