Marrying Millions is an American reality television series that premiered on Lifetime on July 10, 2019. The show follows the everyday lives of six couples who face scrutiny from friends and family.

Megan is a yoga instructor, a model signed with Elite, graduate of UCLA, and fiancée of Sean with whom she has a three-year-old son. Sean is the grandson of AUGE Media Publishing founder, Don Julio Lourdes.[6] While most of their wedding planning goes smoothly, the couple face pressure from Sean's father, Emilio, to get a prenup. The season ends with the pair marrying at Cypress Sea Cove in Malibu, without a prenup.[7]

Shawn, 29, is a rapper and entrepreneur from Palm Springs.[8] While Kate, 33, has wedding bells on her mind, she begins to question if everything is what it seems.

After the season aired, the legitimacy of their wedding day came into question after reports came out that alleged that there was no public record of a registered marriage license under either of their names in Clark County, Nevada (which would have been required if they were marrying that day).[16][17]
