Married At First Sight Season 18: Emem Obot's Age, Job, Instagram, & More
Emem Obot is a cast member on Married at First Sight season 18, and there is a lot to know about the accomplished woman. Married at First Sight season 18 is taking place in Chicago, Illinois. Emem met her stranger husband, Ikechi Ojoré at the altar, and they both said yes to getting married. They are joined by four other season 18 couples, Madison Myers and Allen Slovick, Michelle Tomblin and David Trimble, Camille Parson and Thomas, and Karla Juarez and Juan Franco.
This is the second time Married at First Sight was filmed in Chicago; season 5 also took place there as well. Emem has been a standout cast member this season, as she has shown her resiliency in her relationship with Ikechi. Ikechi, who previously applied for MAFS season 10 in Houston, has been throwing up a lot of red flags. He's called Emem "aggressive" and an "a*****e" for her direct style of questioning, with Emem taking the high road and never calling him out of his name.
Emem's Age
Emem Is Not The Oldest MAFS Season 18 Cast Member
Emem is 34 years old. She is in the middle of the pack in MAFS season 18 when it comes to age. Ikechi is 41, and is the second-oldest cast member, with Thomas being the oldest at 42. Emem has stated that she does want children, so being in her mid-thirties, she wanted that prospect sooner rather than later in her marriage.
Emem's Job
Emem Has Her Own Business
Emem is very proud of the hard work she's put into her career. She is a Nurse Pracitioner, and runs her own Medspa business in Chicago. She has a very driven spirit, and presents herself professionally. Emem is among the most accomplished and successful cast members in Married at First Sight season18, and she isn't overly boastful.
Emem's Instagram
Emem Is Verified
Emem does have an Instagram account. However, it's private, so not alot can be deduced about the types of content she shares. She only has 780 followers, but her Instagram is verified. She does tout her MAFS appearance in her bio, and shouts out her hometown of Chicago.
Interestingly, Emem denotes herself as a "wife" in her bio, signaling that the MAFS experience had a positive outcome for her one way or another.
Emem's Personality
She's Been Pushed To The Edge In MAFS Season 18
Married at First Sight's Emem is popular among her cast mates. She comes off as a good listener, humble, and a good communicator. She is religious, and she appreciated that Ikechi was close to his faith as well. She was patient with Ikechi's insults, but she did reach a boiling point that was justified and respected by all her fellow cast mates, except for Juan. Emem is reflective, and has a powerful presence that will likely lead to a positive outcome out of the experience for her.
Married At First Sight airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
