Mindy Shiben and Zach Justice first appeared on Married at First Sight, season 10, but have since moved on with their lives. As stars on one of the best reality TV shows, their marriage never quite took off, as Zach decided not to move into the apartment the participants are given on the show. Zach was closed off from Mindy and never fully opened up to her. They struggled to connect due to Zach’s indifference, so it was no surprise when they chose to divorce. They’ve both ventured out on their paths and appear to be happy.
Mindy and Zach were at odds throughout the entire process. On their honeymoon, Mindy felt her husband treated her too much like a friend. Although Zach said he wanted a friendship to grow between the two of them, he later admitted that he wasn’t attracted to her. This was the beginning of the end, though it wasn’t the most disastrous divorce on MAFS. As the process continued, Zach drifted further away from Mindy. As fans await MAFS season 18, it’s time to catch up with Zach and Mindy.
Since her time on MAFS, Mindy has spoken out about her experience numerous times, and she even found love with a MAFS alum. Steve Moy from MAFS season 14 first posted about Mindy on Instagram in February 2023, sparking dating rumors. However, he didn’t confirm the relationship until July 2023, when he posted a reel beginning with the caption, “If there was still any doubt, I’ll clear it up now, this woman is claimed by me.” The reel detailed Steve and Mindy having the best time in Mexico as they hiked around, spent time on the beach, and enjoyed each other’s company.
The relationship must be a relief to Mindy, who claimed that fans still reached out to her even after the season ended and asked about Zach. In fact, the drama after MAFS season 10 was too much for Mindy. She ended up moving to Mexico for a much-needed fresh start. It’s unclear whether she and Steve connected before or after she moved to Mexico, but they enjoyed a vacation there together. Now, Mindy and Steve live in San Diego, California, where they recently celebrated Steve’s birthday on April 2.
Mindy and Steve are happier than she and Zach ever were. They’re always smiling in each other’s Instagram posts and look perfect together. Mindy and Steve have adventurous spirits and are often seen enjoying the great outdoors and traveling the world together. While neither of them found love on MAFS, they were able to find love with each other after. They were probably able to help each other through the trauma of going through a vulnerable reality TV experience since they understood it. While there are no wedding bells yet, it’s hopeful that Mindy and Steve will tie the knot.
Zach, on the other hand, has been focused on his fitness career and business. He regularly posts pictures on his Instagram that highlight his impressive physique and give workout tips to his followers. He’s currently focused on his business, The Casual Athlete, and doesn’t appear to be dating. Zach’s home base is Washington, D.C., and he appears to have completely moved on from MAFS. Overall, the exes seem content, both appearing happy in their post-reality TV lives.
In addition to his fitness, Zach spends much time with his two dogs, whom he loves dearly. He is clearly a dedicated dog father who loves showing off his pups on his Instagram. Zach’s younger dog, June, turned 1 in June 2023. While his other dog is much older, he noted in previous posts that his older pup showed June the ropes. Zach may not have a significant other yet, but he happily takes care of his dogs and maintains his impressive physique. Zach and Mindy aren’t an MAFS couple still together, but they’re finding their way.
Zach and Mindy weren’t the only MAFS season 10 couple that chose to separate. Katie and Derek divorced later, despite initially staying together on Decision Day. The process is challenging, and Mindy was right to highlight conflict resolution as an essential aspect of the process. Many couples don’t know how to look past their anger and simply forgive the other person. Pairs struggled with those sorts of issues during Mindy’s season. Hopefully, Steve and Mindy are enjoying their relationship. Married At First Sight is an intense process, and the low success rate shows that some people aren’t suitable for the series.
