90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 8 has kicked off with ample excitement as seven out of eight couples have been introduced, highlighting the intense dynamics that emerge when Americans travel abroad to meet their international partners for the very first time. As viewers delve into the intricate relationships this season, it becomes evident that while some couples appear genuinely in love, others are already grappling with significant compatibility issues that threaten their futures.
Among the couples facing difficulties is Emma Perry and Ziad El Yahyaoui. After connecting on an international dating app, Emma made the trip to Morocco to meet Ziad. However, she carries the weight of a secret: she was previously engaged to a man from Morocco, a detail she has yet to divulge. Their time together has been marred by mistrust, with Emma concerned that Ziad may be involved with other women, while Ziad grows suspicious that Emma is also hiding something. This lack of transparency combined with their differing compatibility raises questions about the longevity of their relationship.
Another couple, Rick Van Vactor and Trish Stiley, illustrate how an age gap can complicate dynamics. After connecting online while Rick was seeking companionship in Madagascar, their relationship faced turbulence when Trish suddenly went silent for five days. Rick interpreted this as a sign of infidelity but later revealed his own infidelity when he visited an ex in Colombia during their silence. With trust issues stemming from both their age gap and Rick’s lack of honesty, their future seems uncertain.
Jovon Fox and Annalyn Fox add a unique twist to the season. Married via Zoom three years ago, they only recently met in person due to pandemic travel restrictions and financial challenges. Now that they are together, both express dissatisfaction with how they’ve changed in their relationship and the assumptions each makes about the other. These underlying issues could jeopardize their marriage, which has yet to be properly tested in the real world.
Lisa and Daniel’s relationship is fraught with red flags. After meeting online, Lisa’s deep affection for Daniel, who lives in Nigeria, is shadowed by her reluctance to share her marital history, which includes five previous marriages and a recent engagement to a woman. Daniel’s motivations appear questionable as well, as he expressed interest in Lisa partly due to her potential to relocate him from Nigeria. This situation raises significant concerns about trust and intentions moving forward.
