- Clint and Gina on "Married At First Sight" live in the same condo building, per Insider's clip below.
- They appear smitten with each other and seem encouraged by the coincidence upon their first chat.
Gina Micheletti and Clint Webb make it down the aisle and say "I do" to each other as strangers on Tuesday night's episode of Lifetime's "Married at First Sight," which was filmed in Nashville.
But in an exclusive clip of the episode obtained by Insider, the newlyweds learn an even bigger surprise than their appearances when they realize they live in the same building and might have already crossed paths in the elevator.
In the scene below, they're getting the basic "getting to know you" questions out of the way (as every bride and groom should) when Gina asks Clint where he lives.
"Downtown. I rent a high-rise condo," he responds, and then Gina has a follow-up.
"Which high-rise condo?" she asks. And when he tells her the name of the building is 505, she laughs.
"I'm at 505, she says to a shocked Clint, adding, "OK, I thought you may have looked a tiny bit familiar and I was like, 'Maybe I met him in the elevator.' Because I talk to everyone in the elevator."
Clint can't believe the "crazy" coincidence, but Gina tells cameras in a solo interview that when she moved into the building, she did have her mind on falling in love.
"I can't believe that Clint lives in my building, it's crazy. Right before I moved into the building I even was like, 'You know, maybe I'll meet my husband here,'" she says.
They picked a very unconventional way to meet someone by signing up for the social experiment in which strangers allow matchmaking experts to pick their spouses, meet at the altar, and then spend six weeks living married life and trying to decide if they want to stay legally bound to each other or would rather get a divorce.
Per the clip below, Clint and Gina's first few minutes start off well. After discovering they've lived an elevator ride away from each other all this time, they talk about Clint's passion for sailing.
"When I look in Gina's eyes, I see somebody of excitement and passion. Like, there's a lot to her. So, this is smooth sailing right now," Clint tells the cameras.
Salon owner Gina says she feels like "the stars have aligned" now that she's married to Clint. She said she was attracted to his "sense of humor" and the "sexy" wave he has in his hair.
However, in the season 16 trailer originally published by People, viewers learned that there are rough waters ahead for Clint and Gina, which they may not survive.
During what appeared to be their honeymoon trip with the other couples, Clint said "the girls that I've dated are very athletic, slender." It's a confusing comment, considering that in the clip below he compliments her "natural beauty" and "figure."
He appeared to be implying that Gina was not athletic or slender and her fellow new bride Nicole Lilienthal took offense to his words not only on behalf of Gina but on behalf of all women.
"He has made comments that were offensive to every woman out there with a real natural body," she said, going on to call him a "dick."
In a separate scene in the trailer, Clint's fellow groom Mackinley Gilbert, who married Domynique Kloss, called out Clint for body shaming with an odd comment for a newly married man. "I think Gina's sexy. I think you're crazy," he said.
So, hard times appear to be ahead for more than one couple including Clint and Gina, but for now, watch them credit fate with bringing them together in the exclusive clip below.
"Married at First Sight" airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
