90 Day Fiancé: The Most Successful Before The 90 Days Relationships
The 90 Day Fiancé franchise has aired a surprising number of successful marriages, given the obstacles and drama featured in the international relationships. However, the popular spin-off show 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days has featured far more misses than hits when it comes to successful romances. Find out which Before the 90 Days couples have had the most successful relationships, and overcome the odds to remain together offscreen.
While the rare Before the 90 Days couple has been well-received by viewers, the franchise spin-off show has featured far more dramatically different duos that were not meant to be. Viewers watched the chaotic relationships unfold between the likes of Paul and Karine Staehle, Big Ed Brown and Rose Vega, Stephanie Matto and Erika Owens, Ash Naeck and Avery Warner, and Lisa Hamme and Usman Umar. Meanwhile, Yolanda Leak and David Murphy aired stories of being scammed and catfished that (unsurprisingly) did not have positive endings.
Currently, the spin-off show Before the 90 Days is in its fifth season. While there are still a number of episodes left to determine if the seven featured couples will work things out, viewers are doubting if any of the couples will make things work long-term. Couples Alina Kozhevnikova and Caleb Greenwood, as well as Usman and Kimberly Menzies, are not even in relationships. While other couples are discussing marriage, it’s likely that Ben Rathburn is being catfished by “Mahogany,” and that Ella Johnson won’t see her partner Johnny in person. Discover which past Before the 90 Days relationships had more successful outcomes.
Rebecca Parrott and Zied Hakimi took their romance from Before the 90 Days season 3 to 90 Day Fiancé season 8, where viewers witnessed them getting married. Young Tunisian man Zied and older American grandmother Rebecca faced a number of issues, including her intense jealousy problems, plus religious differences and cultural obstacles. While Rebecca and Zied come from very different backgrounds, they have found a way to make their relationship work. They are married and living in the United States, while Zied has also happily embraced the role of being a grandfather in his 20s. Meanwhile, Zied appears to have acclimated to US culture, as he has a job working at a furniture store. To many viewers, Zied and Rebecca are a Before the 90 Days success story.
Avery Mills and Omar Albakour from season 3 are considered the most successful Before The 90 Days relationships, as well as one of the most well-received relationships in the entire 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Viewers initially thought that the younger American woman Avery was naive when she wanted to travel to Syria and marry a man she had never met. Avery proved all of her critics wrong, as she is now happily wed to Omar, and thriving with her husband in the United States. Avery and Omar faced a long waiting period for his US visa, which saw them briefly moving to Dubai to be together. Omar is now working towards being a certified dentist in America, while Avery is pursuing a career in healthcare administration. Many franchise fans admire the hard work and determination of the well-liked couple.
Larry Passariello and Jenny Torres appeared on Before the 90 Days season 1 after the American man met the Filipina woman online. Viewers rooted for the couple as they patiently waited for Jenny’s K-1 visa to be approved, but the good news is that their wedded bliss was worth the wait. Larry and Jenny are one of the rare Before the 90 Days success stories, as the duo is happily married and appears to be very much in love. The couple currently shares an Instagram account and YouTube channel, where they document their life together. Larry and Jenny decided to make a big life change last year, as the duo packed their bags and moved to Texas to continue their successful relationship.
Benjamin Taylor and Akinyi Obala appeared on season 3 and kept viewers guessing as to whether or not their romance would continue or end. Ben and Akinyi faced a rocky relationship that has since evolved into a smoother path for the couple. The couple postponed their wedding due to the pandemic, though Akinyi was able to move from Kenya to the United States to be with Ben. Ben has since embraced the role of being a stepparent to Akinyi’s son, while the duo has defied the odds by staying together. Ben and Akinyi are currently married and appear to be happier than ever, following their initial relationship doubts and obstacles.
Though not technically a Before the 90 Days couple, Jesse Meester and Jeniffer Tarazona both met each other after their respective Before the 90 Days relationships failed and they connected through the franchise. Jesse appeared alongside Darcey Silva on seasons 1 and 2, where viewers watched their turbulent relationship implode. Meanwhile, Jeniffer tried to win over her now ex-partner Tim Malcolm on season 3. Jesse and Jeniffer currently document their relationship on 90 Day: The Single Life, though viewers are in overwhelming agreement that the cringe0worthy relationship between Jesse and Jeniffer, which includes him sniffing her used underwear, is something that franchise fans should fast-forward through. Despite the backlash, Jesse and Jeniffer do appear to be very serious, as they recently became engaged.
Varya Malina and Geoffrey Paschel are undeniably loathed by franchise fans after Geoffrey was convicted on multiple series charges after assaulting his ex-partner. Meanwhile, viewers have slammed Varya for publicly standing by Geoffrey. She continues to support him and be with him while he awaits his sentencing in jail. However, Geoffrey and Varya are one Before the 90 Days relationship that has resulted in the couple staying together- even if no franchise fans want them to.
Things between Varya and Geoffrey appeared to fizzle out after they appeared in season 4 along with Geoffrey's on-again-off-again partner, Mary Wallace. However, Varya revealed that she was still with Geoffrey during his trial and has vocally defended him since. Though it's safe to say Varya will never appear in any future TLC content, she has surprised viewers by making her 90 Day Fiancé franchise relationship last, even while her partner is behind bars.
