When it comes to romance, reunions, and relationship wreckage, 90 Day Fiancé never disappoints. And now, 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After is back with its ninth season, promising more of everything: familiar faces, fresh feuds, and jaw-dropping moments that fans of the franchise have come to expect.

This time, eight “fan favorite” couples are back under the spotlight, and they’re not just dealing with their own drama; they’re diving into each other’s business too.

As the press release puts it, this season shines a spotlight on “the relatable and often chaotic reality of married life,” covering everything from open relationships and family tension to emotional meltdowns and awkward in-law encounters.


Loren, Alexei, Elizabeth, and Andrei bring the heat to 90 Day Fiancé

Loren and Alexei Brovarnik are back, and things are far from calm. Once known as one of the most stable couples in the 90 Day Fiance world, they’re now dodging rumors and facing confrontation. In a heated moment from the trailer, Elizabeth Potthast tells Alexei,

“Lorene’s said a lot of bad things about you... How you talk about her weight, how you body-shame her.”

Andrei Castravet isn’t exactly blending in quietly either. Loren and Alexei call him out in the confessional, labeling his behavior during a group hangout as “rude” and “disrespectful.”

With these couples all crossing paths this season, it’s clear that fans won’t just be getting updates; they’ll be getting a whole new level of reality TV chaos. And yes, 90 Day Fiancé fans are already buzzing.


Kara and Guillermo talk intimacy, while Jovi and Yara just try to connect

New parents Kara Bass and Guillermo Rojer are struggling with more than just sleep schedules. Guillermo reveals,

“Intimacy is not the same. Like, at least once per day [I will ask for sex], but nothing happens.”

It’s a real look into what happens when passion meets parenting—90 Day Fiancé style.

Meanwhile, Jovi Dufren and Yara Zaya are navigating their own rocky waters.

“It’s me, Yara and Mila in Miami and no support,”

Jovi says. Yara, feeling the isolation, admits,

“I definitely need best friends.”

There’s no shortage of challenges for these couples, and as their stories unfold, fans can expect both relatable struggles and moments of tension that keep the franchise addictive.


Darcey and Georgi head to Bulgaria, tears included

Darcey Silva is back in the 90 Day Fiancé mix, this time alongside husband Georgi Rusev. After her quick stint on The Last Resort, Darcey now has her sights set on a trip to Bulgaria, where she’ll meet Georgi’s family for the first time.

Not surprisingly, fashion is already a hot topic. Throwing some side-eye at Darcey’s signature style, Georgi says,

“I don’t know what my parents are going to think if you show up wearing something like that.”

Her reply? Iconic:

“You’ll have to pry these low-cut tops and body-con dresses from my cold, dead hands.”

But it’s not all fun and fashion. At one point, Darcey is seen crying at dinner with Georgi’s family, proving that even after all this time, her 90 Day Fiance journey still delivers the emotional rollercoaster fans live for.


Tigerlily and Adnan adjust to a new reality

Tigerlily Taylor and Adnan Abdelfattah are back after their whirlwind marriage during Season 7 of Before the 90 Days. The big update? Adnan is finally coming to the U.S., and the adjustment may not be smooth.

“This is Adnan’s first time in the U.S.”

Tigerlily says. When she picks him up at the airport, she does it with a bouquet of black balloons, a fitting welcome for what’s bound to be an interesting stay. She adds,

“I don’t know how easy it will be for him to adapt.”

From Texas to Jordan and now to the States, their 90 Day Fiance journey is a reminder that love might conquer all, but culture shock is real.


Jasmine and Gino's open marriage takes a messy turn

Jasmine Pineda and Gino Palazzolo are back for what feels like their hundredth round, and this time, things are more complicated than ever. Before revealing a new woman... and a need for “some whiskey” to get in the bathtub with her, Gino starts off saying,

“I’ve been heartbroken but I don’t want to feel this way anymore,”

Yes, really.

Jasmine, meanwhile, is still linked to her friend Matt Branistareanu, who also happens to be the father of her child. She stated,

“I still love Gino but when he kicked me out of the house I didn’t have any other choice but living with Matt, who is a third person in our open marriage.”

The drama reaches a boiling point when Gino accuses Jasmine of cheating, saying her relationship with Matt started around four months before they agreed to an open marriage. Jasmine denies it and blames Gino’s new love interest for planting new thoughts in his mind.

Naturally, this leads to a fight where Jasmine calls the new woman a “wh*re.” This is 90 Day Fiancé at its most unfiltered.


Brandon and Julia are back, but keeping things quiet

Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina are confirmed to be part of this season, though they don’t show up in the trailer. That’s not to say there’s nothing going on, just that we’ll have to tune in to see what kind of drama unfolds.


With everything else happening among the cast, this couple could be the calm in the storm… or just the slow burn waiting to explode. Either way, 90 Day Fiancé fans know better than to write anyone off too soon.
