Failed Married at First Sight Star Starts OnlyFans

Reality stars tend to find their way to the subscription-based adult content platform OnlyFans at some point, and that’s exactly where Ryan Livesey ended up after his marriage failed on the UK version of Married at First Sight. The premise of the show is that two single adults agree to marry a stranger they’ve never met and live together as they try to make the relationship work — in front of cameras, obviously.

And Livesey was on a recent season of the UK show where he was paired up with a woman named Sionainn. He quit the show fairly early on, though returned for a bit of drama after an alleged couple swap where he seemed to end up with another woman.

That relationship seems to be over too, based on his recent launch of his OnlyFans account. He made the big announcement on Instagram, with a story of him in a bathrobe and underwear, encouraging his followers to head to OnlyFans to subscribe.

That’s where his bio reads on the platform read: “Welcome to my OnlyFan page. If you’re happy, so am I-and I promise I won’t disappoint. 😈 Reality TV 📺 Must be 18+ 🔞.”

And you can subscribe for 50% off through the end of the month. His rates are reasonable compared to many others, just $12.99 for a month-long subscription, or get a whole year for $109. He must be getting somet akers, because he also shared a screenshot on Instagram claiming he’s in the top 22 percent of all creators on the site.

The father of one was working as a garbage collector and semi-professional soccer player prior to his experience on the reality show, but now it seems he’s counting on his OnlyFans account to pick up and pay the bills. Fans seem to have mixed reactions to his big announcement.

Some comments left on a Reddit thread about the move include one that read: “I can’t imagine women wanting to pay $15 per month to see what looks exactly like every single Hinge profile pic.”

Another person came to Livesey’s defense, saying: “He is ridiculously good looking.”

And a third just didn’t understand the concept: “I find the whole Only Fans concept bizarre. I have zero interest in wasting money on that garbage (no pun intended!) so I’m curious too.”

But Livesey isn’t the first Married At First Sight alum to join OnlyFans. There are many former contestants who joined the platform to try to extend their 15-minutes of fam.

Caitlin McConville appeared on the Australian version of the show in 2023, and began charging $29.99 for a monthly subscription to her account. Bronte Schofield is another Aussie alum who joined OnlyFans. The 28-year-old revealed that she made over $100k in the first few days of joining the platform.

But not everyone enjoyed their time on OnlyFans. Hayley Vernon, another Married At First Sight alum joined the platform after her time on the show back in 2020. But she abruptly left the platform and all adult content creation recently, citing a change in her faith.

It remains to be seen how long the fame these contestants get will last, and if their OnlyFans careers can outlast that fame or if it will fizzle as time goes by.
