’90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days’: Meet the Season 7 Cast

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days is back. The popular reality series returns to TLC on Sept. 1 with an all-new cast. Eight lovestruck Americans will travel to Nigeria, the Philippines, Ghana, Poland, Brazil, Jordan, South Africa, and Croatia to be with their partners. But once they arrive overseas, will they be able to make their relationships work? Each couple will grapple with cultural differences and personality clashes as try to find their way to happily ever after. 

Tigerlily and Adnan 

When Tigerlily left her controlling marriage of 10 years, she vowed she’d never say “I do” again. Then, the 41-year-old mother of two from Texas met Adnan, a 22-year-old model from Jordan. Despite an age gap of nearly two decades, their relationship moved fast. Four months later, Tigerlily is heading to Jordan to meet Adnan in person for the first time. She hopes to get married the same day they meet, but her friends worry that she’s rushing into things and that she hasn’t considered the big cultural differences that come with Adnan’s Muslim faith. 

Rayne and Chidi

Rayne, 38, is a chicken farmer from New Mexico who’s never been lucky in love. But she thinks she may have finally found the intimacy and physical affection she’s craving with Chidi, 34, a Nigerian man she met online five years ago. Chidi is blind, which Rayne appreciates because she’s insecure about her looks. But Rayne’s loved ones aren’t sure she’s considered the reality of a relationship with someone who is blind. Plus, it’s not clear how Rayne’s unconventional beliefs will mesh with Chidi’s Christianity. When he declares he won’t have sex until they’re married, she’s disappointed. But Rayne remains hopeful her trip to Nigeria will set the stage for Chidi’s move to the U.S. 

Loren and Faith 

Loren, 33, is a jack of all trades from Las Vegas. He met Faith, 31, a transgender woman from the Philippines, on a dating site and they fell in love. Now, he’s traveling to her country in the hopes of eventually making a permanent move there. But Loren hasn’t been totally honest with Faith about his precarious financial situation or his opinions on monogamy. 

“My dream is to marry Faith,” Loren says in a teaser for the new season (via YouTube). “But I don’t think she fully understands how broke I am.” 

Meanwhile, Faith is apprehensive about opening up to Loren because she’s never had a boyfriend before. 

Niles and Matilda

Niles, 28, and Matilda, 23, started out as pen pals two years ago before falling in love. Now, Niles – who has not had good luck in past relationships – is traveling from Alabama to Ghana to meet Matilda for the first time. He’s already proposed marriage, and an eager Matilda is planning their wedding. She thinks they’ll be getting married once he arrives, but Niles is starting to have second thoughts and wants to wait to say “I do.”

Joe and Magda

Joe is a hardworking 34-year-old Italian Jersey boy who’s fallen hard for Magda, a 23-year-old volleyball player from Poland. As a sign of his commitment, he even deleted all his dating apps, something he’s never done for a girl before. Magda is just as in love with Joe as he is with her, and she’s quit her job in anticipation of moving to the U.S. She’s looking forward to starting a family, but Joe isn’t sure he’s ready for kids right away, especially with a woman he hasn’t yet met in person. 

Brian and Ingrid

Brian, 52, is a quadriplegic from Illinois who l has traveled the world playing and coaching wheelchair rugby. While visiting Brazil, he fell in love with the culture and the country’s women, whom he thinks are more accepting of his disability. Two years ago, he met Ingrid, 33, on a dating site and now, they’re finally going to meet in person. Brian truly believes Ingrid could be the one, but he’s nervous that when she learns the truth about his past, she won’t be able to handle it.    

Veah and Sunny

Veah, 27, who is from Florida, has fallen in love with Sunny, 26, who is from South Africa. Each is expecting to take their relationship to the next level on her upcoming trip to Durban. But when an anxious Veah enlists her ex-boyfriend as a travel partner, Sunny doesn’t take it well, telling her to go back to the U.S. Will this trip cement Sunny and Veah’s commitment to each other or end up pushing them apart for good? 

Vanja and Božo 

Vanja is a vibrant 41-year-old Floridian who’s fallen for Božo, a 38-year-old Croatian basketball player. The two matched on a dating app while she was traveling in Europe but weren’t able to meet up at the time. However, they kept in touch and now Vanja is heading to Croatia for her first face-to-face meeting with Božo. She’s hoping he’ll propose marriage, but her friends and family worry she and Božo aren’t on the same page and that she’s about to get her heart broken.
