DeVon Franklin Explains Why He’s Joining ‘Married At First Sight’ As An Expert

DeVon Franklin is speaking out ahead of his television debut as one of two experts joining season 15 of Lifetime’s ‘Married At First Sight, according to Essence.

Less than a year after filing for divorce from Meagan Good, DeVon plans to use what he learned in love to help other couples succeed in their marriages.

Apparently, the expert offer was made prior to his filing in December 2021. DeVon nearly rejected the offer after his divorce was decided. He described feeling “shame” for his failed marriage, but he says the show executives still thought he could help their couples. So, he decided not to live “in fear or shame” and continued forward with the offer.

“…When I went to do the show, something powerful happened. Everything I’ve been through, I was able to draw upon to help a couple successfully sort through their issues…,” Devon wrote on Instagram.

“A lot of times that voice in our heads is our worst enemy. It tries to talk us out of what God is trying to talk us into.”

Over the past few years, three relationship experts – Pastor Calvin Roberson, Dr. Pepper Schwartz, and Dr. Viviana Coles – match, and then guide a group of single men and women through an eight-week experiment where the first time they meet their husband or wife is at the alter.

After the couples are matched and they tie the knot, the experts help the newlyweds navigate their unconventional marriage as they learn about the stranger they legally wed.
