Cast

Marrying Millions included the following couples:[4][5]

Sean Lourdes and Megan Thomas Lourdes

Megan is a yoga instructor and fiancé of Sean with whom she has a three-year-old son. Sean is the grandson of AUGE Media Publishing founder, Don Julio Lourdes.[6] While most of their wedding planning goes smoothly, the couple face pressure from Sean's father, Emilio, to get a prenup. The season ends with the pair marrying at Cypress Sea Cove in Malibu, without a prenup.[7]

Shawn Isaac and Kate London

Shawn, 29, is a rapper and entrepreneur from Palm Springs.[8] While Kate, 33, has wedding bells on her mind, she begins to question if everything is what it seems. In their final episode, Shawn gives Katie a "diamond" bracelet that turns out to be Cubic Zirconia.[9] The couple previously appeared on a Facebook reality show Make Up or Break up in 2017.[10] Isaac has also been on MTV's True Life,[11] Startup U,[12] Bravo's Million Dollar Matchmaker (Season 2, Episode 6).[13][14][11]

Gentille Chhun and Brian Blu (also known as Dave Smith)

Gentille is a real estate investor in Las Vegas who has been dating Brian, an actor and construction worker who her friends think is using her.[15] During the season, the couple get engaged, but ultimately break-up on the day of their wedding. After the season aired, the legitimacy of their wedding day came into question after reports came out that alleged that there was no public record of a registered marriage license under either of their names in Clark County, Nevada (which would have been required if they were marrying that day).[16][17] Brian's IMDB page credits him as an 'actor' on the show, rather than as 'self'.

Drew Gemma and Rosie Marin

40 year old Drew owns a construction and landscaping company and likes to spoil his college graduate girlfriend Rosie, whom he met on SugarDaddy.com. During the season, the couple got engaged. In the season finale, the couple elope to Costa Rica. It is unclear if they are legally married in the U.S.[18] Rosie coined the phrase "Come Through Daddy Drew." After the show aired, Drew's financing allegedly came into question after tax liens and Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings became public.[19][20]

Bill Hutchinson and Brianna Ramirez

Briana, 21, has been dating Bill, the 60-year-old president of Dunhill Partners Inc, for one year.[21] Bill's ex-wife is also on the show to "stir the pot." After two years, the couple are still together.[22]

Katie Hamilton and Kolton Pierce

Katie, 37, has been dating her daughter's friend Kolton, 23. Katie was previously married to baseball player Josh Hamilton. The current status of their relationship is unknown.[23][24]
