Hey guys!
Today we are going to talk about 90 day fiance’s Biniyam and Ariela.
We are going to take a look at their life after the show,
rumors of moving to the U.S. and filming for a new spin-off.
Since the show, Biniyam and Ariela continued their relationship, however their journey was not without hurdles.
As we mentioned in the previous video, Ariela and Biniyam had conflicts due to his work schedule
and Ariela feeling lonely, taking care of their baby
Additionally, she was set on moving to the U.S. -
– a sentiment also supported by her parents, who wanted their grandson to receive American education.
Biniyam was reluctant to leave his life in Ethiopia behind, along with his friends and family.
After their season concluded, Biniyam and Ariela spent a few months at a resort in Kenya, before returning to Biniyam’s native country.
There, he finally released his first single – “Dancey, Dancey” and first official music video for the song.
The music video was warmly received by 90 day fiancé fans.
It features beautiful Ethiopian scenery and cityscapes, and a lot of dancing.
The video has 180K views on YouTube.
Notably, Ariela’s mom shared the video as well, captioning the post that it’s her "son’s first music video”.
Biniyam also refers to Ariela’s sister as his sister.
This indicates that Biniyam has a very warm relationship with Ariela’s family.
Besides music career, Biniyam hinted he will continue his martial arts career.
He is hoping to get back into his best shape and compete, urging fans to stay tuned for his future competitions.
When it comes to Ariela, she wrote long posts about life in Ethiopia and local customs.
She also helped raise money for a woman living in Addis Ababa.
The goal of her fundraiser was to pay for the surgery for her severe burns and raise her living conditions.
Yesterday, a Reddit User posted that they saw Biniyam in New York City.
The post read:
Okay y’all, I was just ordering some takeout from a restaurant here in downtown Manhattan,
and someone told me the upstairs is closed off because they’re filming some reality show
fast forward to me waiting around like a total goon to find out who it is, and I see Biniyam walk downstairs and right by me!
(He is very handsome in person, btw!)
Someone at the restaurant told me that he and Ariela are staying here indefinitely and are considering moving here,
but they were talking about how they don’t have jobs.
The commenters are happy the couple had moved to the U.S.
However, the news about filming for another 90 day fiancé spin-off was not well-received.
One person said:
I really hope they're not [going to be on 90 day fiancé Happily Ever After?]; Ari and Bini are one of my favorite couples and I don't want HEA to destroy them for me.
Some people also commented on the fact that the couple is going to live in one of the most expensive cities in North America while being unemployed
“Staying in New York city without a job. One of the stupidest things a person can do.”, a Redditor said
I decided to take a look at Ariela and Biniyam’s social media accounts
to see if there are any hints of the couple making the big move from Ethiopia to the U.S.
According to Instagram, their accounts are based in Ethiopia.
However, it does take a while for this information to update on the site.
Additionally, I took a look at 90 day fiance’s cameramen's social media.
One of the camera man posted from Ethiopia just 3 days ago.
It very well could be TLC crew followed Ari and Bini from Addis to NYC.
Ari and Bini aren’t posting much on social media these days.
The only story was about their son Avi going to bed.
The story appears to be posted at Eastern Standard Time – it was well after midnight in Ethiopia at the time.
It is unknown what spin-off Ari and Bini are filming for.
It could be 90 day fiancé, since the couple is still engaged and not married;
it could be also happily ever after? or 90 day diaries.
Interestingly, Biniyam and Ariela appeared on Ethiopian TV just 2 weeks ago.
The show they appeared on is called Seifu on EBC. This is an Ethiopian late-night talk show hosted by a comedian.
The video about them has over 800,000 views, making it one of the most popular uploads on their channel.
During the first half of the show Biniyam appeared alone.
The host presented him as a participant on 90 day fiancé,
and they spoke about his boxing career, the proposal to Ari and his music video.
He also appeared to speak about his first-born son, who is currently estranged,
due to his mom, an American named Bria, not allowing Biniyam to have contact with him.
It appears that Biniyam mentioned that he is going to have an upcoming competition in New York City.
During the second half of the show, Ariela appeared in an outfit matching Ethiopian fashion and Biniyam’s outfit.
She was translated over, but one could still distinguish her responses in English.
When asked about her life, she said she is not as interesting as Biniyam, who does MMA.
As on 90 day fiance, she revealed that she is still a freelance writer and she was managing her dad’s cardiology practice.
The host has asked if they are popular in Ethiopia and Ariela responded that Biniyam appears to be more popular.
As to the U.S., Ariela said they are not superstars, but some people would recognize them.
Ariela said that Biniyam is very talented, yet stubborn.
She pronounced a few words and phrases in Amharic, and the audience applauded her efforts.
Ariela said that Ethiopia is very beautiful country and one of the reasons they wanted to do the show was to show the modern Ethiopia.
According to the couple, the most difficult thing about being on reality TV was giving up their privacy,
as a lot of people wanted to know everything about their life.
Ariela said one could hear her vocals in the background of the Spanish part of "Dancey Dancey"
She said she is fluent in Spanish.
As we know from the show her ex was Argentinian and she spent a lot of time in that country.
Overall despite the language barrier, the show was interesting and it received a lot of positive comments from Ethiopians.
A lot of people praised Biniyam for promoting his country worldwide.
Some commenters said: "it's nice to see a proud Ethiopian"
They were also very touched by Biniyam's story about not being able to see his first-born son
Are you looking forward to see Ariela and Biniyam back on the show?
