Ashley Petta and Anthony D'Amico are Married At First Sight alums that fans appreciate. We've found out what they've been up since season 5.

Ashley Petta and Anthony D'Amico from Married At First Sight are a successful couple from the show, and we're about to let fans know what they've been up to since their reality TV debut. For all of the disastrous matches on Married At First Sight, there are a handful of well-suited couples who demonstrate that the series can produce functional pairs every now and then. Since Married At First Sight season 5, Ashley and Anthony have continued to be role models for other couples.

Audiences were first introduced to Ashley and Anthony on Married At First Sight's season 5 premiere, which aired on April 20, 2017. The fifth season of the popular matchmaking series centered around couples that lived in Chicago, Illinois. At the time, Ashley was 30 years old and working as the manager of a bar and grill. Anthony, 33, was a sales account executive. On the show, Ashley and Anthony had a successful relationship that they deemed fit to continue outside of Married At First Sight. Since choosing to remain married on Married At First Sight's infamous Decision Day, Anthony and Ashley's choice to stay together has turned out to be a wise decision.

In 2018, the couple continued to exhibit their love for one another. Anthony and Ashley returned on Married At First Sight: Happily Ever After? and audiences got a better sense of how the husband and wife have cultivated a functional relationship since their blind marriage. In August 2018, Anthony and Ashley announced that they were expecting their first child. Ashley gave birth to their daughter Mila Rose D'Amico three weeks early, on January 12, 2019. After Mila's birth, Ashley told People that Mila was "perfect" and that she and Anthony “never knew we could love someone so much.” The couple revealed that their shared love for Mila helped them to grow even closer. In July 2020, Ashley announced that she and Anthony were preparing to welcome their second child. The reality star couple made their pregnancy reveal on Married At First Sight: Couples' Cam.

Ashley shared that she had some complications while pregnant with her second child. In an Instagram post from July 2020, Ashley revealed that she was "experiencing a lot of spotting and bleeding" in the days following her second pregnancy announcement. Ashley also shared in her post that it was difficult for her and Anthony to get pregnant again after Mila, so she was "cautiously optimistic" about her second pregnancy. Fortunately, Ashley and Anthony's fears were put to rest when their second daughter Vaeda Marie was born on February 3, 2021. Ashley told Page Six that "This pregnancy was not easy... but meeting the new addition to our family made it all worth it!" Ashley and Anthony have dedicated their Instagram accounts to their growing family, cementing them as one of the best couples still together after Married At First Sight. See their IG post below:

Ashley and Anthony are a match made in Married At First Sight heaven. From their first time saying "I do" to the births of their two children, Anthony and Ashley have proven to be a power couple. Although they faced some challenges during Ashley's second pregnancy, the couple has continued to show fans that a Married At First Sight happy ending is possible.
