On October 2, 2019, the series was renewed for a second season which began on August 5, 2020. This season continued to follow one couple from Season 1 and introduced 5 new couples.[1][2][3]
Marrying Millions included the following couples:[4][5]
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. In their final episode, Shawn gives Katie a "diamond" bracelet that turns out to be Cubic Zirconia.[9] The couple previously appeared on a Facebook reality show Make Up or Break up in 2017.[10] Isaac has also been on MTV's True Life,[11] Startup U,[12] Bravo's Million Dollar Matchmaker (Season 2, Episode 6).[13][14][11]

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]
40 year old Drew owns a construction and landscaping company and likes to spoil his college graduate girlfriend Rosie, whom he met on SugarDaddy.com. During the season, the couple got engaged. In the season finale, the couple elope to Costa Rica. It is unclear if they are legally married in the U.S.[18] Rosie coined the phrase "Come Through Daddy Drew."
