The whole thing with the cameras, people always told me, “Oh, you’ll get used to it. IBT: Were there any times you wish you weren’t being filmed? Times where it would’ve been easier if it had been just you and Jason in the room? She passed about a week and a half, two weeks after we stopped filming. I did also get to meet his mother before she passed, actually. Don’t you ruin this for him! Don’t you ruin this for us!” Like we said on the show, he is part of our family and my mom was calling him her son-in-law and she was like, “Cortney, don’t you ruin this. Like he is part of our family, regardless of what happened. I took Jason home on July 4th weekend to North Carolina, and he met my mom and my dad and my brother, my sister, my brother-in-law, my niece and also my brother’s girlfriend, who isn’t quote-unquote “family” yet, but she basically is. Hendrix: Yes, we have met each other’s families. IBT: Have you two met each other’s families yet? ![]() We sang to every song, so I think it was a copyright issue, but that was fun. ![]() I think they showed a little bit of it in a preview, but that got cut. We went to in New York, and that was fun. We also had a party one night with a bunch of our friends. We were on the back porch with blow dryers, like melting these crayons. There were a couple moments where I got him to craft and we put trash bags on and worked on this do-it-yourself crayon art project. A lot of the artwork that you see up in the apartment we made together or I painted for him. I crafted the entire time we were together. So every single second that we weren’t at our job from 9 to 5 - or for Jason from 2 p.m. Jason and I, we weren’t allowed to film at work. Every single participant continued to work our normal day jobs throughout the process. Hendrix: We did a lot of stuff I’m not sure they ever really released. IBT: Was there anything that you were surprised they cut from the final episodes? We can’t believe how much you’ve grown up.” I couldn’t be happier about how we were portrayed. I was really surprised that people were able to see how much we grew as individuals and grew as a couple because I didn’t even realize it until people started saying back to me like, “Cortney, you’re a different person. So there are a lot of times where you can just see the raw emotion and the real stuff happening and I guess the genuine part of us coming out in our relationship. There were a lot of conversations that we had on camera for the first time ever, and there were a lot of times where we would say “real talk.” Whenever we said “real talk” that was like our code to our production that this was the first time we were ever having this conversation. One of the good things about everything with me and Jason and our relationship is we were real the entire time. IBTimes: Were you happy with the editing of the show? Did you feel like it accurately portrayed your relationship? I was holding my breath the entire time, not breathing, thinking, "Oh, my God, what is he saying?” It was a hard moment to watch, for sure, because all the emotion came back immediately, but it was a good thing. But after he finally said, “I made my decision last night and I want to stay with you forever,” I was overcome with happiness. I can’t kill him because then they’re going to have footage. ![]() I had no idea what he was about to say, and he was like, “But I need to tell you something first.” And I was like, “What is this guy doing to me on national television? He’s about to dump me. I was like 95 percent sure of what Jason was going to say - but if you look at the footage, I’m like murdering him with my eyes because I got really squinty when I was looking at him. International Business Times: Were you scared when it came to decision day?Ĭortney Hendrix: Yes, I was scared. The North Carolina native talked to IBT about finally introducing her husband to her family, her bond with the other women on “Married At First Sight,” and if she would recommend the show to others to be cast members. She and her husband are one of the two couples that stayed married after the Season 1 finale. Throughout the series, viewers watched as Cortney met Jason Carrion, got to know him, married him and navigated her first month of married life. “ Married At First Sight” cast member Cortney Hendrix took a few minutes out of her workday to talk to International Business Times about her experience on the hit FYI docu-series.
