Who is Alexis on Married At First Sight UK 2021?

MARRIED at First Sight UK is upon us as eight new couples attempt to navigate married life after meeting for the very first time at the altar. 

It takes a bold type to try and find marital bliss on this show, but brand new bombshell Alexis Economou is up for the challenge.

Who is Alexis on Married At First Sight UK 2021? 

Alexis, 28, is a London-based model who loves to post pictures from her glam photoshoots to her Instagram account @alexiseconomoux.

She has been described as a ‘bold, lively and an incredibly strong woman’ and has previously admitted she can often be misjudged for being opinionated and territorial.

Reportedly, Alexis took a break from dating to ‘work on herself’ but is now ready to find ‘The One’.

Expressing nerves about her future spouse, she said: “Even though I don’t have a major type, I still want him to be cute; I want to be attracted to him.

“I don’t want him to think I’m a bit much.

“Even though I’m quite chilled, I have an upbeat bubbly side to me.”

What has Alexis said about appearing on the show?

The stunning model is looking for a guy who is “ambitious, well-educated, well spoken and family orientated,” as well as “understanding, compassionate and affectionate”.

Her future partner must be her best friend, which to her means that he should also be emotionally available and have great communication skills.

Alexis said: “I’ve applied to this to find the good guy, to find someone genuine and someone who wants commitment.

“I give my all and I’m very supportive. I’m looking for someone on my wavelength and I want someone who is going to take the reins a little bit.”

Alexis has no idea who the experts might have picked out for her, but trusts that they will have found “at least glimpses of what I am looking for”.

She said: “I don’t believe you can get every single piece that you need.

“Because I am an open-minded person, if I see the great qualities overpower the little things, then I can roll with it and give people a chance.

“Some people take a little longer to open and warm up than others and need some encouragement.”
