Patrick Mendes and his Brazilian fiancée, Thaís Ramone, had a tumultuous journey on ’90 Day Fiancé.’ They first connected through a dating app while the former was visiting Brazil, and their relationship quickly blossomed. Patrick proposed during one of his trips, and Thaís happily accepted. However, their relationship encountered significant challenges once she arrived in the US. Thaís struggled to get along with Patrick’s brother, John, and tensions escalated due to her spying on her fiance by installing a GPS app on his phone.
John, in turn, harbored reservations about Thaís and believed that his brother deserved better, fueling further animosity between them. The situation turned drastic when Patrick discovered she had not informed her father about their impending marriage. Despite Thaís explaining that her father strongly disliked Americans and would disapprove of their union, he insisted that she tell her father before they proceeded with the wedding.
Unsurprisingly, Thaís’ father initially forbade her from marrying Patrick. But luckily, the couple’s love prevailed, and they tied the knot in February 2022. Patrick and Thaís often share their adventures on social media and love traveling together. In November 2022, they also had a new addition to their family: their daughter, Aleesi.

Hailing from South Dakota, Jibri Bell and his Serbian fiancée Miona’s love story began when they met at a Serbian club where he performed with his band. Their instant connection led to numerous vacations together and, eventually, his romantic proposal. However, their journey was far from smooth sailing. From the start, tensions arose between Miona and some of Jibri’s friends, particularly his bandmate Daveed Dacho.
Upon Miona’s arrival in the United States, she struggled to find common ground with her fiance’s parents and intensely disliked South Dakota. Adding to the challenges, she demanded a beachside wedding, much to the concern of Jibri’s family, who advised him against marrying her. Despite the reservations others expressed, he prioritized his relationship and decided to marry her.
The wedding ceremony took place with Jibri’s grandmother presiding as the minister. However, Miona’s parents and Daveed opted not to attend, leading to some absences on their special day.

Their relationship progressed to the point where Yvette traveled to Egypt to meet Mohamed, and they became engaged. However, their troubles began when he arrived in the United States.
Mohamed struggled to adapt to cultural differences and found accepting Yvette’s American lifestyle challenging. He expected her to adhere to Muslim doctrines, which clashed with her way of living. Although Mohamed developed a close relationship with Yvette’s son, Tharan, he felt frustrated about living away from his mother and even contemplated finding a new sponsor to obtain his green card and return home. Ultimately, Yvette reached her breaking point when she discovered he had cheated on her.
The US native decided to file for divorce and is currently working with an attorney to expose Mohamed for potential immigration fraud. However, Yvette herself landed in trouble when she was charged with one count of battery and one count of assault against a household member in August 2022.

Despite encountering various obstacles, their love prevailed, and they committed to each other. However, the couple’s relationship was not without its challenges. Differences in their personalities and desires caused frequent disagreements.
Shaeeda struggled with Bilal’s bossy nature and had conflicting views on important matters such as having children. The latter was determined not to expand their family, whereas his partner desired to have a child together. Yet, the most significant hurdle they faced was the issue of a prenuptial agreement. Bilal insisted on having one, much to Shaeeda’s disappointment. Eventually, they resolved their differences and tied the knot on December 18, 2021, in Lees Summit, Missouri. Besides, Shaeeda agreed to sign the prenup but ensured that her own clauses were included.
