Not long after Tyson Gordon went on 60 Minutes saying he’s looking for a “trad wife”, Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2026 bride Stella Mickunaite has confirmed she falls under that umbrella.
“I am a ‘trad wife’,” she wrote alongside a social media post showing how marriage opens doors for her (including the dishwasher door, freezer door, laundry machine door and the fridge door). “I want my man to earn more than me. I want to admire him. I want to be spoiled. I want my nails, lashes and little luxuries to be part of the family expense. I want to stay home with my baby for as long as I choose.”
However, she clarified in her post that she doesn’t buy into the woman “submitting” and a man “leading”. Instead, she sees her relationship with Filip Gregov as they both put effort into the relationship to make sure it lasts.
“A lot of modern relationships fail because people want the benefits of commitment without the discipline, sacrifice, accountability, and emotional maturity that traditional values [require],” she wrote.
“Modern love with traditional values often [look] like: two ambitious people still prioritising the relationship, open communication instead of silent resentment, independence without acting single, loyalty even when attention is accessible everywhere, choosing long-term peace over ego battles, building a home, not just a highlight reel, respecting masculine/feminine differences without weaponising them [and] keeping standards high while still knowing how to compromise.”
She also says that being a “trad wife” doesn’t mean she can’t also further her education if she wants, or work, or be creative.
“I’m a trad wife. Oh, and yes… I’m also a woke wife too,” she finished.
Fans praise Stella’s trad wife Instagram post
After Stella posted her Instagram reel with the long caption, fans praised her for being so honest.
“Well said Stella! Too many labels and rules, just mutual respect and love, whatever that looks like for each couple,” one person wrote.
“You two are the only genuine couple to come out of that show,” another gushed.
“Explained perfectly,” a third remarked.
“So true,” another exclaimed.
It looks like these two are still going strong, even after all this time. They’re the true golden couple of Married At First Sight.
