Who Is Married at First Sight Season 19’s Josh? Background and Key Details

Married at First Sight Season 19 officially premiered on Thursday, October 23, with its first four episodes streaming exclusively on Peacock. Among this season’s cast is Josh, a self-made entrepreneur who brings his ambition and authenticity to the experiment.

Josh, 31, began his career working for a friend in the roofing industry before taking a bold leap to establish his own company. Through perseverance and dedication, he expanded his business, elevating his annual earnings from $40,000 to over $500,000. Describing himself as someone who values humility, honesty, and effective communication, Josh believes he is fully prepared for marriage.

In the new season, Josh is matched with Jalyn, a 27-year-old realtor who recently decided to step away from dating following what she called a “turbulent experience.” The Season 19 trailer introduces viewers to the newlyweds as they exchange vows, capturing both their anticipation and nervousness before saying “I do.”

“I’m about to marry a stranger,” one participant remarks in the preview, while another adds, “I’m committing my life to someone I know nothing about. But I trust the experts to find something that I’m not finding.”

As their story unfolds, Jalyn surprises Josh with thoughtful gifts, including pickleball equipment, pompoms, and a heartfelt letter expressing that she is his “biggest champion” and eager to begin their shared life.

During Episode 1, Josh reads his wedding vows to Jalyn, declaring:

“As we stand here today, embarking on this extraordinary journey together, I promise to be patient and understanding as we navigate the ups and downs of married life. I may not know what the future holds, but I am certain with you by my side, it will be an extraordinary journey filled with love, laughter and countless memories. Here’s to us, to our love story, and to the beautiful possibilities that await, with all my heart, Joshua.”

The Experts Return for Season 19

The latest installment welcomes back Married at First Sight’s trio of relationship experts — Pastor Cal Roberson, Dr. Pepper Schwartz, and Dr. Pia Holec.

Pastor Cal, who has been part of the series since Season 4, is also known for his appearances on Honeymoon Island and Happily Ever After. Dr. Pepper Schwartz, an original expert from Season 1, continues her long-standing role, while Dr. Pia Holec — a psychotherapist and s*x therapist from Chicago — rejoined the panel in Season 15.

Season 19’s finale is set to air on November 20, followed by a reunion special the next day. This marks a new format for the series, transitioning from its traditional one-episode-per-week release pattern that defined its first 18 seasons.
