Newlywed news: Couples announced for Season 8 of ‘90-Day’ spin-off
Seven of the nine couples returning for Season 8 of “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?” — premiering Sunday, March 17, on TLC — have been announced by the network, promising a drama-filled ride.
With plenty of relationship highs, lows and woes to come, Variety recently shared the logline for the returning “90 Day Fiancé” spinoff, generating excitement and a few side-eyes as TLC promises the couples will be “put to the test on everything from immigration issues, pregnancies, potential breakups, and more,” and asks: “With these couples kissing the honeymoon stage goodbye, are they headed toward happily ever after or happily never after?”
Along with this written teaser, the network also released the names of seven couples that will be highlighted throughout the new episodes, allowing viewers a quick taste of what’s to come for each.
Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise, who met during Season 9 of “90 Days,” are said to be taking a pilgrimage to Kobe’s home country, Cameroon, where Emily will have to prove she can be a good Cameroonian wife. With two children in tow — and a third on the way — the couple will certainly have their hands full.
Meanwhile, longtime fan-favorite couple Loren and Alexei Brovarnik celebrate their child’s first birthday and decide they are finished having babies once and for all.
The third couple announced — Thaís Ramone and Patrick Mendez — travel to Brazil, joined by the rowdy John McManus as they attempt to mend their strained relationship with Thaís’s father, who wasn’t aware his daughter was even planning to get married.
Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi, on the other hand, remain in Nigeria, waiting for Michael’s spousal visa to be approved so he can finally come to America with his new bride, and already-married couple Jasmine Pineda and Gino Palazzolo hit a rough patch, leaving Jasmine to consider a trip of her own.
Back in Los Angeles, Mahmoud El Sherbiny has settled into his new home, but he makes some shady decisions and is said to steal from Nicole Sherbiny after a massive fight.
Finally, Liz Woods and ‘Big Ed’ Brown — the last couple promised so far — face a life-changing fight of their own as Liz learns a nasty secret about Big Ed right before walking down the aisle, potentially leading to a runaway bride.
With ample drama and all-new dynamics, the eighth season of “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?” premieres Sunday, March 17, on TLC.
