Murphy came in sixth place on Big Brother 21 in 2019 and was supposed to compete on The Challenge: Double Agents soon after before being cut from the cast. "I just [had] a very strange feeling ... that something bigger is coming and if I was away in Iceland, it wouldn't have happened," she revealed on a January 2021 episode of the Hello Friends podcast. "I was like, 'I'm telling you, I think I'm gonna, like, meet my soulmate this week or something,' like, kind of joking. ... Three days later, I met Jamie."

In August 2021, Martin proposed to Murphy in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. "Haven't yet woken up from this dream. Engaged to the LOVE OF MY LIFE in Paris!" Murphy captioned photos from the engagement on Instagram at the time, adding a ring emoji. The two would go on to tie the knot eight months later, exchanging vows in Tulum, Mexico, in April 2022. On their one-year wedding anniversary, Murphy penned a heartfelt note to her love, writing, "365 days spent as YOUR WIFE. I never knew a love like ours existed anywhere, in any Universe. Here's to 1 blissful year down & 150 more magical years to come!"
