Married At First Sight: What Happened To David Norton After Season 3
David Norton is a controversial star of the unorthodox dating show, Married At First Sight. David was a fan-favorite during his initial run on the reality series, but the longer he lasted, the more David became one of the least popular Married At First Sight husbands. From his return on Married At First Sight: Second Chances to his current relationship status, this is all there is to know about David's life after season 3.
David Norton was introduced to the world of experimental marriages on the Married At First Sight season 3 premiere back in December 2015. This season focused on newlyweds living in Atlanta, Georgia. When David agreed to jump into a marriage with a stranger, he was 30 years old and working as a software account executive. David was paired with Ashley Doherty, a nursing student who was also 30 years old. Ashley and David had a rough marriage that never quite clicked. Ashley didn't find David to be as attractive as the men she's been in relationships with in the past. Leading up to a dramatic Decision Day, it was evident that David was more into Ashley than she was interested in him. Although David appeared to be the more invested of the two, Ashley accused David of cheating on her halfway through season 3.
Suffice to say, Ashley wanted a divorce on Decision Day. Despite David's request for another chance at making their marriage work, Ashley was no longer interested in being David's wife. After Decision Day, David said he believed he was the best husband he could've been to Ashley. Only a few weeks after the end of the couples' marriage, it came out that David had a violent past. According In Touch a 2007 police report noted that David had "smashed his then-girlfriend’s cell phone while demanding to know where she’d slept the night before." This information changed the minds of many of David's sympathizers. Nevertheless, David returned on Married At First Sight: Second Chances. This time around, David had a smaller pool of fans as he came off as rude and inconsiderate to the women he dated on the show. Regrettably, David's second round on the reality show also did not end in long-lasting love.
Since his unpopular appearance on Second Chances, David has maintained a lower profile. In April 2020, David returned once again to give fans an update on Married At First Sight: Where Are They Now?. David revealed he was dating someone, but wouldn't divulge any more details except that he was recording his interview from "the exact same spot that I met her." David's location appeared to be an office building. Currently, David can be found on Instagram and Twitter, although he posts infrequently. Unfortunately for fans curious about David's relationship status, his Instagram posts indicate supporting the Buffalo Bills is his priority over another relationship after Married At First Sight.
David has one of the most difficult-to-follow narratives of any Married At First Sight alumni. From falling in and out of the audience's favor to scandalous police reports, David is a puzzling reality TV personality. With two chances already down the drain, it's unlikely David will get Married At First Sight again.
Married At First Sight airs Wednesdays at 8 PM ET on Lifetime.
