The coronavirus is spreading almost as fast as fear of the virus is. The price of face masks is going up and stores are selling out of hand sanitizer. But the one thing that people probably never thought that the virus would affect would be reality tv. But now, a former 90 Day Fiance couple is suffering because of the virus.

How did Deavan Clegg and Jihoon Lee meet?

Deavan Clegg and her husband Jihoon Lee appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way after meeting on a dating app.

Lee eventually flew to visit Clegg in America. While he was there, Clegg became pregnant and the two had to decide how they wanted to move forward. 

Lee spent three months in America with Clegg and the two got engaged. Later, Clegg moved to South Korea to be with Lee permanently.

Deavan Clegg and Jihoon Lee are stuck

Since the outbreak of the virus, flights to and from certain locations have been halted until the disease is under control. Since Clegg moved to South Korea to be with her husband Jihoon Lee, the two were there when the outbreak started. Clegg had originally planned to come to America soon but now that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.

“I was suppose[d] to travel back to America March 11th, with the kids,” Deavan wrote on her Instagram story. “Due to the virus all flights coming into Korea or leaving Korea are canceled. A lot of airlines will not be flying to Korea. We are staying safe. But we are currently stuck in our house.”

There has been no word on when Clegg will be allowed out of her house or the country.

Have any other ’90 Day Fiance’ stars been affected by coronavirus?

Jesse Meester, who appeared on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days with Darcey Silva, recently went on Instagram Live and pretended he had coronavirus.

In a screenshot for his live, he was shown lying in bed with an oxygen mask over his mouth. He captioned the photo, “Will I be okay?? #coronatime #corona #coronavirus.”

Fans were quick to call him out.

“He also posted a picture on his IG of people being tested onboard an airplane, making believe it was him who took the picture,” one person wrote on Reddit. “He stole it from a newspaper. Such a piece of sh*t!”

“I’m actually confused as to why he’s so obsessed with posting about it. He’s insane is my only answer,” another user wrote.

“Hospitals have you change into a gown,” another person said. “This d*uche canoe is clearly wearing his sweater. He’s also obviously wearing a nebulizer mask (you can see the opening on the left side by his lips and the middle tube is where you attach the medicine). I don’t normally wish ill on people but almost 3,000 people have died from this. People are legitimately panicked. To do something like this, he deserves something bad to happen to him.”

“This is the opposite of classy,” another person said. “Glad you’re using a virus that’s killing and affecting so many as a way to get more attention.”
