MAFS' Cam and Jules celebrate 5-year anniversary with sweet posts: 'Best day'

Married At First Sight’s Cam Merchant and Jules Robinson have both shared heartfelt posts on social media celebrating five years since they first met.

The couple, who welcomed their son Oliver in September 2020, immediately hit it off on the sixth season of the reality show and quickly became the blueprint for a success story in the experiment.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday evening, Cam shared a gallery of snaps from their TV wedding alongside a moving tribute to his wife.

“I want a person who comes into my life by accident, but stays on purpose,” he wrote. “Cannot believe it’s been 5 years since I met my best friend for the first time in @julesrobinson82 & got married sight unseen.

“Still feel it was one of the best days I’ve ever experienced… & never would you think that in some of these photos we’ve only known each other for a matter of hours.”

Cam went on to say that it was “definitely Vibe At First Sight” when they met, and there was “something special, kind, supportive and warm” about their first connection.

“How open we both were & it’s incredible to think of what you can create when you throw yourself all in,” he added.

“These 5 years have been special & can’t wait to share so many more with you. Happy Love Day my everything.”

'I love you'

Jules also shared an Instagram post celebrating their TV wedding anniversary alongside a series of behind-the-scenes photos.

“Five years ago today I met my husband, and we really did commit to all the words we shared that day,” she wrote.

“I'd choose you in a thousand lifetimes, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you… What an adventure we have been on together… I love you… Thank you to #mafs for helping me find you this time.”
