Former Married At First Sight UK contestant Terence Edwards has shared joyous personal news, announcing that he and his new girlfriend Krystal Elizabeth are expecting their first child together. The DJ, who became known for his dramatic exit from the E4 dating programme in 2023, posted a heartfelt update to Instagram on Thursday revealing the pregnancy alongside their due date and several intimate photographs.
A Christmas Revelation and Future Plans
In his emotional social media post, Terence wrote: 'Around Christmas time we found out the great news that we’re expecting, what a gift from God at such a precious time.' He continued, describing how the couple have been preparing for parenthood: 'Since then we’ve been in our little bubble taking it all in, getting ready for our new addition & trialing out pushchairs.'
The reality television personality expressed overwhelming excitement about becoming a first-time father with Krystal, adding: 'The excitement of becoming a first time Mum has been overwhelming & we can’t wait to meet our little bundle of joy!' He confirmed the expected arrival date with the statement: 'Baby Edwards due June 2026, so exciting times ahead.'
From MAFS Drama to Newfound Happiness
This announcement marks a significant new chapter for Terence, who has three children from a previous relationship aged 25, 11, and eight. His journey to this point has been particularly noteworthy given his turbulent experience on Married At First Sight UK.
Controversial Exit from the Social Experiment
During his time on the programme, Terence made headlines when he dramatically walked away from the social experiment. This occurred after he refused to continue his relationship with his assigned 'wife' Porscha, despite show rules that typically prevent participants from leaving unless both parties agree to separate.
The standard format of the E4 series sees contestants given weekly opportunities during commitment ceremonies to decide whether to 'stay' or 'leave' their couple after consultations with relationship experts. However, if at least one partner wishes to remain and work on the relationship, the couple must typically continue for at least another week until the next ceremony.
Behind-the-Scenes Revelations and Conflict
Terence's decision to exit came after it emerged that Porscha had kissed several other contestants during an unaired game of spin the bottle that took place without his knowledge or presence. When Terence learned about these incidents, he was visibly shocked and distressed by the news that his television wife had kissed other people.
Porscha appeared blindsided by Terence's departure, believing their relationship was in a positive place despite evident tensions. Her actions during the spin the bottle game caused significant controversy at a subsequent dinner party, with fellow contestant Georges taking particular offence at how she had treated Terence.
This led to a fiery argument across the table, with Porscha pleading with the group to stop discussing her actions and move forward. Viewers watching at home largely sided with Terence, who accused Porscha of hypocrisy as she attempted to minimise her own behaviour while criticising others.
Finding Love After Reality Television
Terence first revealed his relationship with Krystal Elizabeth in September, sharing on social media: 'Since leaving MAFs the million dollar question I get asked everyday is “have you found love yet?”…well let me introduce you to the one that completes me.'
He described Krystal as his supportive partner, writing: 'She’s been my rock and ride or die for a while so only right you guys get to meet the one who I’m ready to grow with.' Terence acknowledged his typically private nature regarding relationships, explaining: 'Never been one to put my relationships on socials as that’s not my thing, plus I’m private…but I’m ready to grow, achieve & do things different.'
The baby announcement represents a heartwarming development for the former reality star, who has transitioned from televised relationship turmoil to genuine personal happiness with his new partner and their growing family.
