The couples on 90 Day Fiancé work hard to make their relationships work. Some of them
go on to have wonderful lives together. But for others, things just don't work out. Here
is a look at the 90 Day Fiancé couples who didn't make it down the aisle.
Fans first met Brittany and Yazan on TLC's spinoff 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, when
the Florida native headed off to Jordan to be with the man she'd previously met only
on video chat.
But the happy couple turned into an unhappy couple shortly after Brittany arrived, because
she brought booze with her on the trip, which didn't sit well with Yazan's conservative
Muslim family. Their rift grew even wider when Yazan found
out about Brittany's questionable past, involving scandalous social media pictures and the little
detail that she was legally still married to another man.
Brittany and Yazan's relationship didn't last much longer. Brittany accused Yazan of cheating
and claimed to have the screenshots to prove it. During an episode of 90 Day Bares All,
Brittany said that his actions, quote, "literally broke [her] heart." Yazan vehemently denied
that he cheated, calling the allegations quote, "a complete lie." No matter what actually
happened, Brittany and Yazan are definitely over.
Stephanie and Erika made headlines as the first same-sex couple in the 90 Day Fiancé
franchise. 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days saw Stephanie head to Australia to be with
Erika after meeting her on Instagram. But they seemed to do better when they were apart.
Stephanie was facing serious health problems, and she was also unwilling to be physically
intimate with Erika, which put a lot of strain on the relationship.
Stephanie argued,
“I don’t want Erika to think I’m not attracted to her, but I haven’t been intimate
with somebody in over a year.”
But it was the fact that Stephanie refused to come out to her mom that broke them up
in the end. Despite Stephanie’s reservations, Erika put her foot down, saying that she'd
been in another relationship with a woman who wasn't out and had no intention to do
it again.
Stephanie retorted that she didn't want Erika to pressure her, smashing a bowl in her anger.
Their relationship ended that night.
Cortney matched with Antonio on a dating app when she was visiting Spain, and continued
messaging him after she returned home, even though he never wanted to connect over a video
call. Nevertheless, Cortney persisted, and the couple appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before
the 90 Days.
The series depicted Cortney heading to Spain to visit her man and being left at the airport
when he wouldn't pick her up. After they did finally meet in person, the Spaniard refused
to commit to their relationship, so Cortney went home confused and sad.
By that point in their story, there were clear red flags regarding Antonio, but it took one
more serious upset — Antonio being in the United States but not taking the time to visit
Cortney — for Cortney to finally call things off. She broke up with him over FaceTime.
Like many other 90 Day Fiancé couples, Darcey Silva, an American mother of two in her 40s,
and Jesse Meester, a 20-something Dutch personal trainer, met online.
Darcey eventually popped over to Amsterdam to spend time with her beau in person, but
things didn't go as planned. Jesse dished about the early days of their relationship
on an episode of TLC GO's 90 Day Fiancé: What Now, saying,
"Once I started spending time with her, I saw a side of Darcey which I didn't like."
He went on to complain about Darcey's alleged binge drinking, emotional manipulations, and
over-dramatic personality — all of which contributed to their eventual breakup.
Darcey accused Jesse of not only being manipulative but also of using her for fame and personal
gain. Despite the drama, Darcey is doing great. She and her sister secured their own spinoff
show called Darcey & Stacey, and she is, quote, "really, really happy in [...] life."
Jesse Meester wasn't the only foreign man that broke Darcey Silva's heart on TLC. Darcey
ended things with Jesse and then moved on to Tom Brooks, a British man. 90 Day Fiancé:
Before the 90 Days showed Darcey and Tom soldiering through a long-distance relationship and then
later meeting in person in London — where things quickly went downhill.
Later, Tom came to New York and he and Darcey agreed to meet. Darcey and Tom continued to
struggle to connect, with him citing the long-distance as the source of his coldness. But it turned
out that there was more to the story, as Tom later revealed to Darcey that he'd fallen
in love with another woman and then proceeded to snarkily ask her if she'd put on weight.
Darcey sprang back from her breakup once again and started dating a Bulgarian named Georgi,
however it's unclear if they're still together.
Avery met Australian relationship-coach Ash online, and they became a long-distance couple.
But things quickly went awry when Avery found out that Ash got text messages from his single
female clients at all hours of the night.
Avery was also uncomfortable with Ash's job, claiming that because he helped smooth over
other couples' drama, he was way too adept at smoothing over their own drama, without
actually getting to the root of the problem.
Despite their issues, Avery and Ash ended the season as a couple. It wasn't until the
reunion tell-all show that they revealed their breakup, and it wasn't Ash's career that caused
it — it was a diet. Avery said that they had planned to go on a diet together, but
not only did Ash not stick to the plan, he also lied to her about it.
Sean and Abby caused quite a stir on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days because of their
27-year age difference. The young Haitian woman met the American man online, and despite
their significant age gap, they enjoyed several months of happy coupledom.
Sean proposed to Abby when he visited her in Haiti, but their engagement didn't last
very long after the cameras stopped rolling. They both announced their break-up in since-deleted
social media posts in March of 2018.
Abby insinuated in Instagram comments that they split because Sean wouldn't make firm
plans to move his life and be with her, writing,
"He just needs to stop making plans and actually start working on them."
Her heartbreak didn't last long, though, as Abby announced on Instagram in June of 2020
that she's now a married woman!
Ricky and Ximena had quite the dramatic storyline on Season 2 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the
90 Days. The photographer from Ohio originally went down to Colombia to meet a different
woman named Melissa.
When his first lady love rejected his advances, Ricky moved on to Ximena. She was pretty pissed
about being his second choice, but quickly got over it so she could accept his marriage
proposal. Their engagement lasted about as long as Ricky's romantic pursuit of Melissa.
Ximena and Ricky announced their breakup on the Tell All reunion episode, with Ricky claiming
that he ended things because his daughter wasn't comfortable with how quickly the relationship
was progressing.
When Rosemarie from the Philippines met American Ed Brown on Facebook, she thought they were
in an open, honest relationship. But Ed was no stranger to lying. He revealed that he'd
lied to Rosemarie, often referred to as Rose on the show, about his height, claiming to
be 5'2" when he was actually 4'11".
He also lied about something much, much bigger — his desire to have more kids. Ed — or
Big Ed, as he's called — waited until he was in the Philippines with Rosemarie to tell
her that he was going to get a vasectomy.
This lie was the deal-breaker for Rosemarie, as she'd clearly expressed her desire to have
two children, so she told Ed that she was "done" with him.
How did Ed feel about the split? In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he revealed that
he regretted his lies, saying,
"I'm learning that. You know, even if you have strong feelings for someone, it's better
to get it out in the open. If not, it's gonna come back and bite you."
On 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Timothy was instantly floored by Jeniffer’s good
looks — so much so that he got involved with her long-distance and even went down
to South America for a visit. But her good looks weren't enough to sustain their love.
In 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined, Timothy revealed that money and time put a lot of
strain on the relationship. He said they had plans to get her a visa to come to America,
but he had to do some saving in order to afford it.
Jeniffer wasn't all that understanding of his money problems, and she accused him of
putting work before her, as he had to buy expensive equipment for his business. Things
unraveled from there, with Tim explaining,
"She didn't want to come anymore and we stopped talking. We were done."
A handsome, older American man named David met a gorgeous, young Ukrainian woman named
Lana on a dating website. They chatted online for hours at a time and fell in love, but
when David went to meet her in person, she didn’t show up.
She explained it away, and they made new plans to meet, but then she didn’t show yet again.
That happened over and over until David, convinced something was wrong, hired a private investigator
to find his missing lady love. The investigator was successful, the pair finally met, and
they got engaged.
David and Lana’s story was documented on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, but Lana
later revealed in an Instagram story that their saga was quote "90% scripted."
Even the engagement was reportedly just for the show. But now, Lana is done with the lies,
and their fake engagement is over because as Lana said,
“[I] no longer wanted to participate in this stupidity that [we] created."
