Jose San Miguel Jr.: Life After Married At First Sight Season 13

Jose San Miguel Jr. and Rachel Gordillo experienced a rollercoaster of emotions during season 13 of Married At First Sight. An update on Jose reveals that he garnered a negative reputation due to his apparent anger management issues. His jealousy quickly escalated conflicts with Rachel, who initially approached the relationship with patience and an open mindset, but found herself unprepared for Jose’s unpredictable behavior. Their initial chemistry was undeniable, highlighted by a sweet kiss at their wedding, yet the journey that followed was fraught with challenges.

Often referred to as “Mr. Perfectionist,”Jose sets high standards for himself and extends those expectations to his spouse. While he initially saw no faults in his classy and intelligent partner, a warning from Rachel’s mother about her disorganized habits triggered concern in Jose. Rachel herself worried that their seemingly perfect match might be too good to be true, and in retrospect, it seems she had valid reasons to be cautious. Fans quickly identified several red flags in their relationship.

The relationship tension escalated dramatically when Jose locked Rachel out of their house after she unintentionally called him by her ex’s name. Matters worsened when Rachel spent the night at her ex’s home since she couldn’t reach Jose. Despite these tumultuous events, the couple opted to say “yes”on decision day during the reunion of Married At First Sight. Notably, in a cast photo taken shortly after filming, Rachel was spotted wearing her wedding ring, although there were instances where she posed at a distance from Jose. On social media, Jose’s posts predominantly featured outings with friends, from baseball games to ski trips, raising questions about the stability of their relationship.

Ultimately, Jose and Rachel separated a few weeks after decision day but reconciled in time for the reunion filming. However, the couple ultimately chose to part ways, as announced in a joint statement to People.

“After much thought, we have decided that we are better off going our separate ways.”They emphasized, “It’s a decision we do not make lightly, but after some back and forth and trying to make this marriage work, we know this decision best serves our future.”

Their marriage officially ended in December 2021, just eight months after their wedding.
