During the March 30 episode of Married at First Sight: Afterparty, Olajuwon watched back a Season 14 clip of Katina and himself telling a Diary Cam how they were doing "good" after their argument.
"I apologized to Katina... and we fixed our problems," Olajuwon notes in the footage.
"We are good. We are moving forward. Today is a new day," Katina says.
"I appreciate you," Olajuwon tells his wife.
"I appreciate you, too," Katina responds, before kissing her husband.
Since Married at First Sight viewers were unable to watch Olajuwon and Katina's make-up, Afterparty host Keshia Knight Pulliam asked Olajuwon what was said behind closed doors.
"First thing I did was tell her how important she is to me," Olajuwon recalled. "And I explained to her, you know, 'I should've handled that a different way.'"
Olajuwon said Katina made perfect sense when she explained herself and how she had forgotten that dating app was even on her phone.
"Katina made me very confident within our marriage because she also said to me -- and I didn't think of it -- was, you know, 'If I was hiding something, do you think I would just give you my phone? Don't you think I would've slid the app on a third page?'" Olajuwon shared.
"She had it on her main page. She wasn't hiding it."

Keshia reiterated how Katina's app "was in plain sight," and Olajuwon agreed, "Yeah! She was just like, 'I get it [though].'"
Katina's side of the fight was that Olajuwon had brought up the matter -- without revealing the specifics on why he was even angry -- at a couples' dinner without speaking to her in private first .
Olajuwon also totally lost his cool once the couple returned to their Boston, MA, apartment. He said Katina keeping that dating app on his phone was like spit in his face and totally "f-cked up."
"I deleted every single f-cking thing that makes you question who I am as a person! You can roll your eyes, that's all I need to tell you!" Olajuwon shouted at his wife.
Katina then ripped off her microphone, told production to leave, and announced, "You're about to see the real Katina!"
Olajuwon was left questioning Katina's character, saying it was "common sense" for his wife to have deleted all dating apps before getting married.
"I don't like to use the word 'divorce,' but if you're asking the experts to find your love, then got off the apps. That doesn't make sense. If you want to be out there looking for yourself then you don't need to be on Married at First Sight," Olajuwon said on the March 16 episode.

Katina cried to her pals Jasmina Outar and Michael Morency about how Olajuwon had treated her, lamenting in tears, "I'm a real person with real feelings."
On the show's latest episode, Olajuwon admitted he must learn how to control his emotions better, and he called Katina "brilliant" and "funny" and thought they had come a long way in their marriage.
Olajuwon said he was working really hard to build trust and develop a deep connection with his wife, but he and Katina had yet to consummate their marriage with only three weeks to go until Decision Day.
"He's a good man," Katina noted to her sister-in-law. "He's funny and he has a really big heart, so you know what? I'm like, 'Here I am! It is what it is!'"
Katina hinted that she'd like to stay with Olajuwon on Decision Day, adding, "I did marry someone who is committed just as much as I am, and no matter what obstacles are put in our way, [I think] we'll be able to overcome them together."
Married at First Sight's fourteenth season, which currently airs on Wednesday nights at 8PM ET/PT on Lifetime, also stars Jasmina and Michael, Lindsey Georgoulis and Mark Maher, and Noi Phommasak and Steve Moy.
The season's fifth couple, Alyssa Ellman and Chris Collette, decided to get a divorce only one week into the process.
