The latest episode of TLC’s hit reality show “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?” proved to be anything but happily ever after for some couples. While some fan favorites took steps towards a future together, others faced long-simmering doubts and unresolved issues.

Angela and Michael: A Rocky Reunion After Seven Years

Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi were finally reunited in the U.S. after a grueling seven-year wait for Michael’s K-1 visa. However, Angela’s daughter Skyla wasn’t exactly brimming with enthusiasm. During a tense family dinner, Skyla expressed her reservations about Michael’s intentions.

She pointed out ongoing communication issues between Angela and Michael, questioning their ability to build a lasting relationship. Skyla went further, stating her fear that Michael would “drag the family through hell” if things went south.

Michael, visibly hurt, expressed his desire for Angela’s family’s trust. This reunion has only...

90 Day Fiancé star Michael Ilesanmi has called out a mystery person running his fake Instagram account. Michael, 34, fell for 56-year-old Angela Deem after seeing her on Facebook and decided to slide into her DMs to say “good morning beautiful.” Although wary of Michael because of his age and because he lived in Nigeria, Angela decided to get into a long-distance relationship with him. On 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 2, Angela flew to Lagos to meet him.

It's 2023 now and 90 Day Fiancé's Michael Ilesanmi is still not in the U.S., despite having married Angela in 2020, as seen on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 5. Moreover, another place where Michael claims he doesn’t exist is Instagram, according to a video message received by blogger John Yates.

90 Day Fiancé star Jasmine Pineda is passionate about being a health coach, and recently shared some positive results on Instagram from her coaching journey with her sister. Jasmine appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 5 with her American boyfriend Gino Palazzolo, when he traveled to Panama to meet her in person for the first time. Jasmine and Gino surprisingly hit it off despite their many differences, and were one of only two couples from Before The 90 Days season 5 to stay together after filming.

90 Day Fiancé's Jasmine Pineda regularly uses her Instagram account to update fans on what she is up to, and recently used it to share more about her experience as a health coach. Jasmine shared two posts on her Instagram story, where she showed progress photos of her sister, Liz, whom she had been coaching. The first story showed a side-by-side six month comparison of Liz,...

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? cast member Angela Deem has had problems in her relationship with Michael Ilesanmi, and the reality star might be heartbroken. Angela and Michael have been together for about five years. When they first met, Angela was a single mother who helped her children raise her grandchildren and worked in hospice. Michael found her attractive after seeing her on Instagram. Their relationship quickly unfolded after he slid into her DMs. Unfortunately, their relationship has been a rollercoaster filled with brash behavior and constant accusations from Angela and infidelity by Michael.

While the couple waited for their spousal visa, they exhibited unhealthy relationship behaviors. During their last season, Happily Ever After? star Angela appeared in Nigeria and destroyed her husband's car, and the season ended with her learning that Michael was sending inappropriate messages to another woman. Although they appeared to be willing to work through their troubles,...

Many 90 Day Fiancé cast members get their green cards after they come to the United States and marry their significant other, but a few names were unable to even get their initial visas. Over the years, 90 Day Fiancé and its spin-offs have featured several foreign cast members who aim to secure their future in the United States by obtaining green cards. While many have been successful in their endeavors, not everyone was able to finish the process.

Some recently featured cast members who have received their green cards and expanded their careers in the U.S. include Shaeeda Sween from season 9 and Yara Zaya from 90 Day Fiancé season 7. Other names, like Andrei Castravet and Julia Trubkina, have made it to the United States, but are currently facing issues renewing their green cards. Since Andrei and Julia still live in the United States with their respective American partners,...

90 Day Fiancé star Jovi Dufren recently teased an upcoming move for him and Yara Zaya on Instagram, which will likely be to somewhere in Florida. Jovi and Yara first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé season 8, when Yara moved to New Orleans from her home country of Ukraine to marry Jovi. Jovi and Yara later returned for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? seasons 6 and 7, where they adjusted to becoming new parents to their daughter Mylah. The couple also gave some consideration as to where they saw themselves in the future. Yara expressed a desire to move to Europe, however, Jovi was not fond of the idea and wanted to stay in the southern United States.

Some 90 Day Fiancé stars are routinely mocked by fans who disapprove of their relationships and Instagram posts. When 90Df premiered on TLC in 2014, fans didn't expect to see the kind of drama that current duos showcase week after week. Lately, if a couple isn’t chaotic enough, they may be perceived as boring. This means that they probably won’t get cast in franchise spin-offs, after enjoying their metaphorical 15 minutes of fame. Perhaps the goal of extending their franchise stints is what drives the cast members who are accused of faking (or exaggerating) drama.

Duos always pay the price for 90Df fame, and the cost can be high. While Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and other social media platforms are spaces for viewers to discuss what they like and loathe about particular shows, some fans go further, by reaching out to 90Df stars directly. 90 Day Fiancé fans give the cast members relationship advice,...

90 Day Fiancé’s Yara Zaya is known for more than just her marriage to her husband, Jovi Dufren, or being a mom to the couple’s daughter, Mylah; she's also known for her overly edited Instagram photos. In her own right, Yara has become one of the most talked about stars in the 90 Day Fiancé world. She first appeared in the original series, then moved on to 90 Day Fiancé Happily Ever After? seasons 6 and 7. However, the star has become infamous away from 90 Day Fiancé as well.

Although 90 Day Fiancé Happily Ever After? season 7'sYara does post photos that show off her gorgeous looks along with her sweet family, she can rely heavily on photo editing. While not everyone is fortunate enough to meet Yara in person, those who have claim Yara looks incredibly different in real life than she does in her photos or on screen. With...

Many of the most chaotic scenes in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise have featured cast members in age-gapped relationships. Though some couples, such as Annie Suwan and David Toborowsky, prove that age differences don't have to get in the way of real love, these happy pairs are often the exception. Numerous franchise couples have dealt with extensive issues due to their age gaps. This has led to countless arguments between age-gapped 90 Day Fiancé duos over the years.

The extended 90 Day Fiancé franchise has featured dozens of international couples over the years, as they embark on relationships around the world. Couples meet under various circumstances and fall in love, despite obstacles such as distance, culture, language, and age. However, age is often a significant challenge for couples, especially when one half of a couple is decades older than the other. Sometimes, these pairs are in very different phases of their lives.

TLC has introduced many new duos on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4, some of whom seem extremely incompatible, and destined to have chaotic journeys. The latest season premiered a few days ago, offering new franchise content after the conclusion of 90 Day Fiancé Happily Ever After? season 7. Tow's fourth installment will feature five new couples who come from different cultures.

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4 is exciting due to its interesting storylines. With couples representing different cultures, sexual preferences, and ages, the odds are good that fresh and original real-life stories will unfold onscreen. This season is also expected to be messy, as the trailer showed the pairs getting into explosive arguments. It will be interesting to see how these challenges play out on the show. This new season has the potential to be one of the most entertaining yet.

Usman ‘Sojaboy’ Umar from 90 Day Fiancé has a big personality, which he enjoys expressing on Instagram. Some of his posts are near-perfect representations of who he is as a person. While his character has multiple layers, certain qualities are more prominent than others on social media.

90 Day Fiancé fans first met Usman the Nigerian rapper in 2020 when he appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days with his then-fiancé Lisa Hamm. The two married and divorced rather quickly. Usman returned to the franchise with 52-year-old Kimberly Menzies on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5. Most recently, Usman and Kim’s relationship was chronicled on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7. While they are no longer engaged, they remain friends. In fact, Kimberly might want a “friends with benefits” situation. Usman continues to have an active presence on social media. The qualities that stick out the most in Usman’s Ig...

Bilal Hazziez and Shaeeda Sween are 90 Day Fiancé franchise newcomers who made their debut in 2022, and there are signs that the couple may become franchise regulars. Bilal and Shaeeda met online, but he wasn’t ready for a relationship yet. Between Shaeeda’s name being too similar to his ex-wife’s, and them being many miles apart, Bilal wasn’t interested in building a romantic connection. However, Shaeeda won him over, and within days of meeting up in Trinidad and Tobago, the couple was engaged. Alas, their time in America hasn’t been as easy as they’d hoped.

The couple made it to America, but they almost didn’t make it to the altar. 90 Day Fiancé's Bilal and Shaeeda couldn't agree about having children, or setting boundaries within the family. Bilal also refused to talk about his finances, or about extending their family, which left Shaeeda feeling like the relationship was one-sided.

During her relationship with Usman “Sojaboy” Umar, 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Kimberly Menzies transformed her style and fashion sense. Kim started out as a super fan, but after a year of getting to know the Nigerian rapper (and flying to Tunisia to support him during his Zara music video shoot), the couple fell in love. The duo worked hard to earn 90 Day Fiancé franchise star Sojaboy’s mother’s blessing, and even considered adopting his nephew. Unfortunately, though, the couple parted ways before their wedding.

Kimberly’s strong personality (and tendency to act out when she was frustrated) certainly added to the pair's turmoil. However, 90 Day Fiancé star Usman's ability to manipulate Kim about his culture and desires also triggered problems between the two. In addition, there were Sojaboy's comments about her appearance and their relationship, which made her self-conscious. While dealing with Usman’s apathy,...

Kim Menzies is freshly single and living her best life after her 90 Day Fiancé franchise split, as evidenced by her recent makeover on social media. Most recently, Kim appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7, which documented the end of her relationship with Usman Umar. On the Tell All, Kim said she and Usman remain friends, though there is nothing romantic between them.

Kim took to her Instagram to share her latest glow-up with 90 Day Fiancé fans. 90 Day Fiancé's Kim Menzies showed off her new hair layers and lighter locks in a video that saw her proudly revealing her new hair to her fans.

Some 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? cast members were filming at a beach in the Florida Keys, and were recently spotted by fans in a leaked photo. Over time, TLC has been spicing up the drama during their reunions by adding interesting twists to the show's concept. Recently, the network added a unique no-limits feature to their Tell-All, and allowed 90 Day Fiancé viewers to witness an up close and personal look at the cast members over four episodes.

This year, the 90 Day Fiancé producers may be cooking something new for its viewers, as people have spotted multiple cast members, including 90 Day Fiance's Angela Deem, filming in the Florida Keys. One Reddit user zonkiethegreat recently shared some distant snaps of popular cast members standing with the camera crew with the caption, "Spotted: multiple 90 Day cast members filming in the Fl Keys."

Kim Menzies is planning to travel to India to meet her 90 Day Fiancé franchise co-star, Jenny Slatten. The 52-year-old San Diego native recently met the Californian woman on the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Tell-All, after they were featured in the same season showcasing their separate journeys. During the reunion, the two ladies bonded not only because they were around the same age, but also because of their common interests.

Like Jenny, 90 Day Fiance's Kim Menzies is also seemingly into Indian culture, which she hinted at in her latest Instagram picture. In the post, Kim stood under a rocky waterfall area at the San Diego Zoo, and joined her hands to make the gesture of Namaste, which is a way for people to honor a person or a group in a respectful and non-contact manner.

90 Day Fiancé couple Yara Zaya and Jovi Dufren have generated a lot of buzz, but not all opinions about them are popular. The 90 Day Fiancé season 8 duo has now starred in several seasons of franchise content, including the recent season of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? The pair started off as polar opposites, as glamorous Ukrainian beauty Yara loved luxury and detested Jovi’s home in New Orleans, and Jovi loved strip clubs and partying.

However, they have been held together by their love for their daughter, Mylah. Yara’s pregnancy solidified their marriage and their child has kept them together despite a few rocky years. Though Yara remains unhappy with their living situation, she and Jovi continue to prioritize their relationship due to their mutual love for Mylah.

Danielle Mullins Jbali from 90 Day Fiancé is best remembered for her chaotic season 2 relationship with Mohamed Jbali. Danielle and Mohamed were an odd pairing from the start, owing to their age gap and contrasting religious and cultural backgrounds. The 41-year-old woman, a mom of four from Ohio, met Mohamed from Tunisia in an online chat room. While Danielle didn’t particularly want a romantic relationship, she fell for Mohamed, who was not like other American men.

Before she went to meet Mohamed in person, Danielle had never traveled out of the U.S. At that point, he had already proposed to her on a video call. After spending just two weeks together in person, 90 Day Fiancé's Danielle said yes to Mohamed. Then, Mohamed’s K-1 visa journey began, and it would lead him to America (and 90 Day Fiancé season 2). It was also the start of dramatic storylines on the show.

Kim Menzies from 90 Day Fiancé hinted at her relationship status with Usman Umar, aka Sojaboy, after 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7 by promoting his upcoming Yahoo Boy web series on Instagram. The 52-year-old from San Diego found herself sending a Dm to her favorite singer Sojaboy following his 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 4 appearance with ex-wife Lisa Hamme. It was Lisa who had been worried Usman was a “Yahoo Boy” from Nigeria and accused him of scamming her once they split.

90 Day Fiancé's Usman Umar, however, has taken the accusations thrown at him in stride. The Sokoto native seems to want to tell viewers he’s unbothered by being called a "Yahoo Boy" and decided to produce a show on the topic instead. Supporting Usman’s acting and producing career is none other than Kim, who ended their engagement on Happily Ever After. Kim posted a link to...

90 Day Fiance star Loren Brovarnik is having fun with her third pregnancy and sharing the sweet moment with her social media followers.

A fan favorite of the franchise, Loren married Alexei Brovarnik and has built quite a life with him.

The two met in Alexei’s home country of Israel while Loren was on a trip. They managed a long-distance relationship until agreeing to get married.

They had two weddings – one in Israel for Alexei’s family and another in America for Loren’s family. Since then, they’ve settled in Florida to be closer to Loren’s parents.

The couple has become a staple in the 90 Day franchise, appearing in spinoff shows like Happily Ever After?, Pillow Talk, and their series After the 90 Days.

Already parents of two, Loren and Alexei, are expecting their third child later this year.

Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? is the first time Kimberly Menzies and Angela Deem have been on the same show simultaneously.

Now they are being compared to one another by viewers who are finding several similarities after the premiere episode aired.

This is not the first time Kim and Angela have been compared, with the former time being about how they’ve sexualized their Nigerian partners and acted out against them. In that comparison, Kim’s partner, Usman Umar’s ex-wife Baby Girl Lisa Hamme, was also thrown into the conversation.

Angela has been a cast member on several different seasons and spinoffs within the 90 Day franchise starting with Season 2 of Before the 90 Days.

Kim was on Season 5 of Before the 90 Days, where she officially became Usman’s girlfriend. She...

Angela Deem was caught smoking and bashed by critics for calling herself a “Queen.” Pic credit: TLC

90 Day Fiance Angela Deem has never shied away from showing her unabashed personality and even giving viewers a glimpse at her bad habits both on and off-screen.

In a recent social media share, Angela referred to herself as a “Queen,” as she often does, and she also pulled the cigarette she was smoking into the filtered frame to reveal that she has not quit yet.

Angela has been a controversial figure within the 90 Day franchise for her crass behavior, perceived-abusive treatment of her husband Michael Ilesanmi, and her bullying tactics among castmates, viewers, and those in her life.

Even so, Angela has a dedicated fanbase of supporters as well as haters, the latter of which showed up in the comments of her post to bash her for labeling herself as a “Queen.”

Shaeeda Sween called out Bilal Hazziez for “lecturing” her. Pic credit: TLC

One of 90 Day Fiance star Shaeeda Sween’s biggest issues with her now-husband Bilal Hazziez is that she always felt like he was lecturing her.

Many viewers took Bilal’s lecturing tone as a red flag and labeled him a gaslighter.

During the Season 9 Tell All, Bilal received a lot of criticism from his castmates, and he expressed in his ending remarks his shock and dismay that he was seen that way.

However, it seems that the “lecturing” trigger word for the couple has come a long way, and they can now make fun of it and share their breakthrough in a funny way with 90 Day fans.

In a funny video clip, Bilal began to try and approach Shaeeda in several different ways with different openings. Still, Shaeeda would shut him down and say he was lecturing each time.

Former 90 Day Fiance star Karine Martins seems to be putting her personal problems aside to show a carefree social media front, as she just shared a before and after makeup video.

Karine and her estranged-husband Paul Staehle lost custody of their two young kids earlier this summer as a result of the drama going on between them, according to Paul.

On social media, Karine has touched on the situation with her kids but has not directly explained the circumstances or the cause of the custody drama.

In any case, Karine appears to be in good spirits on her Instagram page and has been very active on social media after taking a short hiatus after she was charged with domestic violence back in March.

The 90 Day Fiance franchise continues to expand.

On the heels of Before the 90 Days Season 4 scoring franchise highs in the ratings, TLC is bringing back one of its most popular stars.

The network, which ranks #1 in all of cable for women year to date, has announced an all-new series dedicated to the up-and-down lives of the most buzzworthy set of identical twins in pop culture today.

"Fans of 90 Day FIANCÉ: Before The 90 Days have been glued to Darcey through four seasons of globe-trotting, long-distance love affairs followed by heartbreaking, tear-filled break-ups, always with her devoted twin Stacey by her side to lend a shoulder to cry on," reads a TLC press release announcing the pick-up.

The families of “90 Day Fiance” have overcome cultural, religious and language barriers throughout the course of the reality show, but in its spinoff series “90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined,” they now have to deal with a new challenge brought about by the coronavirus.

TheWrap got the first look at the new, five-part special that airs on TLC beginning on Monday, April 20. It gives a taste of the heartwarming ways families are trying to stay #HomeTogether and adapting to life under self-quarantine.

“Quarantine time is never easy, but we’re getting through this because when people stick together, nothing bad can happen,” David Toborowsky, who appeared with his wife Annie in “Happily Ever After?,” “What Now” and “Pillow Talk,” says in the clip.

If anyone is used to having meaningful conversations over video chat, it’s the long-distance couples of “90 Day Fiancé.” That skill makes them particularly well-suited to recording themselves for the new TLC limited series “90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined,” a spinoff born out of the coronavirus pandemic. The five-episode limited series, announced Thursday, will premiere on TLC on April 20, with more than 40 cast members signed on to return.

Howard Lee, the president and general manager of TLC, said that for the cast members, talking via computers and video chat “is already in their DNA.”

Filming scripted television is impossible under today’s circumstances, but reality TV production may prove to be more resilient — a potential boon for the basic cable channels that primarily program reality. Those networks are already well-stocked to ride out a months-long production shutdown, as Variety has reported.

Hulu is out with its list of everything that’s coming and going from the streaming service in April, which should come in handy assuming we’re all still in isolation next month due to coronavirus.

That same day, a new episode of Hulu’s monthly episodic anthology “Into the Dark” drops. April’s installment is called “Pooka Lives,” and follows a group of thirty-something friends who create their own Creepypasta about Pooka, but don’t like what they find once the thing goes viral.

Not to get too bleak at the outset here, but it could be a rough month for many people.
