Married at First Sight’s Alyssa Ellman says looks are ‘important’ before admitting Chris Collette ‘isn’t her type’
MARRIED at First Sight star Alyssa Ellman said physical attraction is “important” to her before she admitted new husband Chris Collette “isn’t her type.”
Alyssa, 30, marries stranger Chris, 35, on the new season of Married at First Sight.
In an exclusive preview clip obtained by The Sun, Alyssa admits how important it is for her to be physically attracted to her husband.
She said while getting ready for the wedding day: “Physical appearance and personality are super important. For me, there needs to be a physical attraction. I am hoping to walk down the aisle and be happy with what I see at the end of it. I hope he is too!”
Alyssa then read a letter from her soon-to-be husband, as she broke down in tears over the “nice” note.
She said after reading the thoughtful letter: “He’s so nice! I feel like he knew that’s what I wanted to hear. I’m glad I got a little insight about him before I get to walk down the aisle.
“I feel like he knows what I want to hear. It just feels good. The only thing I can think of is that I hope he thinks I’m cute and I hope I think he’s cute. Hopefully that’s the case.”

But in another MAFS clip, that wasn’t the case for Alyssa.
After tying the knot, she said their interaction was “awkward” in her confessional.
Though he said she’s “beautiful,” she said he “normally wouldn’t be [her] type” and that he “looks like a real estate agent.”
According to Alyssa’s bio, she rescues animals and believes the show is her “opportunity to find love.”
As for Chris, he learned he was “incompatible” with past girlfriends once the honeymoon phase ended and hopes the experts can find someone to keep his interest “long term.”
Married at First Sight airs on Wednesdays at 8/7c on Lifetime.
