Season 8 premieres Sunday, October 4 at 8PM ET/PT on TLC. This run tracks five new couples and two returning pairs as they leave the U.S. to build a life abroad.
Meet the cast of ‘90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’ season 8
Seven couples, six countries, and a lot that can go wrong. Here's who you'll be following:
Kenny and Armando (returning)
St. Petersburg, FL and San Felipe, Mexico
Previously seen across three seasons of ‘The Other Way.’
One of the franchise's most beloved pairings hits its hardest stretch yet. Kenny and Armando are thrown off course when a frightening health scare involving Armando's teenage daughter, Hannah, rattles the family, and a snag with Armando's visa puts their timeline in question. Suddenly the couple has to reckon with the real possibility of living on opposite sides of the border.
Niles and Matilda (returning)
Mobile, AL and Offinso, Ghana
First seen on ‘90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days’ (season 7).
Two years married but still living a continent apart, Niles returns to Ghana hoping to repair his standing with Matilda's family. She believes he's flown in to celebrate their anniversary. What she doesn't know is that he's carrying a far bigger plan — he means to leave the U.S. and settle in Ghana for good.
Jonathan and Ally (new)
Groton, CT and Woodlands, Singapore
New to the franchise.
Jonathan gives up life as he knows it to join his pregnant girlfriend, Ally, in Singapore — with almost nothing saved and no job waiting. Complicating things further, Ally's devoutly religious parents still have no idea she's pregnant, and time is not on her side.
Zuri and Ben (new)
Fairfield, CT and Nancy, France
New to the franchise.
Zuri's first shot at a life in France collapsed, so she's back for one more try. This round means winning over Ben's doubtful friends — and getting straight answers about another woman he grew close to while the two were apart.
Jessy and Vittorio (new)
Bronx, NY and Florence, Italy
New to the franchise.
A Bronx pageant queen, Jessy relocates to Italy for Vittorio, a charming fashion-industry insider she's betting will finally break her habit of choosing the wrong men. But once she lands, family misgivings, things left unsaid, and a full year together without intimacy leave her questioning whether the fairytale is real.
Michelle and Felix (new)
Dallas, TX and Accra, Ghana
New to the franchise.
Michelle, a single mom who flips cars for a living, moves to Ghana for Felix, a preacher's son she's convinced is the love of her life. The longer she stays, the louder the questions grow about whether he — and his family — can truly be trusted.
Andi and Nigel (new)
Nashville, TN and Brisbane, Australia
New to the franchise.
Andi hits pause on her music career to start over in Australia with Nigel. Her drive and love of structure run headlong into his easygoing, nomadic streak, and their ethically non-monogamous relationship looks like two very different things depending on who's describing it.
