Married At First Sight star Cameron Merchant is ‘looking forward’ to showing seven-month-old son Oliver how he and wife Jules Robinson met

Married At First Sight couple Cameron Merchant and Jules Robinson are one of the franchise’s few success stories, tying the knot in real life and welcoming a child. 

And Cam told Who magazine on Tuesday he remains forever ‘grateful’ for the show and can’t wait to show his son Oliver, seven months, how he and Jules met. 

‘It has been a magical journey and we certainly look forward to showing Ollie how his parents met one day. That’s something that no one’s ever going to take away from us,’ the former cricketer, 37, explained.

Cam went on to suggest the couple’s popularity is down to not getting caught up in the ‘glitz and glamour’ of television.

‘We want to keep the real in everything we do,’ he said.

‘We were two, three, seasons ago [in 2019] but we still have a connection to so many people out there who find us relatable, everyday people.’ 

Cam and Jules, 38, met on season six of Married At First Sight, which was filmed in late 2018 and aired early the following year.

The reality TV couple legally married in November 2019, selling broadcast rights to their wedding day to A Current Affair.

They welcomed son Oliver on October 3 last year.

Announcing her pregnancy in April, Jules told Stellar magazine: ‘I’ve had my moments – times of sadness, fear, despair and tears, fuelled by hormones. We’re all in this together, though. It has to be okay.’

Cam and Jules had tried throughout 2019 to conceive a child, but had faced difficulties because of Jules’ age.   

‘Because of my age I had done all the hormone testing, the egg count… so much is instilled that you’re going to struggle because of your age,’ she said.

‘Once it was all confirmed, I bawled out of pure joy and happiness. To create a baby with the man you love, there is no greater gift, and Cam will be one incredible father.’
