Neelima 'Nelly' Patel and Steven Springett captivated viewers during their wedding ceremony on series 10 of Married at First Sight UK. The Channel 4 reality show matches strangers using expert compatibility tests from Paul C. Brunson, Charlene Douglas, and Mel Schilling. Couples meet for the first time at the altar and then spend weeks living as married partners, tackling challenges that test how well they really click.

In the second episode of Married at First Sight UK on Monday, September 22nd, Nelly, a 30-year-old cosmetic dentist from Manchester, said “I do” to Steven, a 34-year-old investment banker from Newcastle now living in Essex. Their wedding included traditional Indian rites with a modern touch, with Nelly arriving in a decorated Doli carriage dressed in vivid red attire. The chemistry between them was instant, and spectators couldn't help but note how effortless and natural they appeared together.

The greatest highlight of the day was when Steven disclosed he has two children, keeping the news for a private conversation with Nelly despite the fact that his family had already told her friends. Fans are already wondering if their spark will develop into enduring love, but as always, the couples will not divulge their final decisions until the series concludes.


What happened during Nelly and Steven’s wedding day on Married at First Sight UK and where are they now?

Nelly and Steven’s wedding was full of instant sparks. Nelly made a dramatic entry in a flower-covered chariot, combining traditional Indian elements with a wow factor that drew everyone together. Steven and his bride had an apparent connection from the moment they met. They were genuinely pleased and calm, exchanging vows and sharing their first kiss like experts.

Later, in a private conversation on Married at First Sight UK, Steven confessed that he is a father of two children, a daughter and a son. Sharing this personally rather than letting family spill the news showed thoughtfulness. Nelly responded with maturity, thanking him for being honest and encouraging openness, hinting at strong potential for their relationship.

While MAFS UK rules stop contestants from revealing their final choices, fans often read into social media clues. Nelly and Steven still follow each other on Instagram, which many see as a good sign. Nelly posts as @drnellyp about her dental work and life. Meanwhile, Steven’s @stevespringett4 covers his Essex life and banking career, suggesting they left the experiment on good terms, whether as friends or something more.


What are the challenges they are facing now?

Steven comes into the relationship with a lot of life experience. He’s a dad and survived a violent attack in his early twenties that ended his football career and required major reconstructive surgery. That rough chapter changed how he sees life.

Even so, he bounced back and built a career in investment banking, showing resilience that could really help in a relationship.

Nelly, meanwhile, is thriving as a cosmetic dentist and wants kids of her own.She’s also a devoted aunt, which proves she’s comfortable with kids, perfect for helping Steven with parenting. Their shared family values and ability to handle life’s curveballs could make them a strong match.

Nelly and Steven's strong wedding day connection and continued social media interaction suggest their Married at First Sight UK journey may have positive outcomes. Their ability to navigate Steven's parental revelation maturely indicates potential for lasting compatibility. While show restrictions prevent confirmation of their current status, early signs point toward a successful match that could extend beyond the experiment's conclusion.


Married at First Sight UK airs Mondays at 9 PM on Channel 4 and streams the next day on All 4.
