’90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?’ Season 8: Every Couple’s Status Heading Into the Tell-All
Get ready for an explosive reunion. The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 8 tell-all is coming to TLC. And this time, the gloves are coming off. The “no limits” tell-all will feature dramatic confrontations between cast members, surprise guests, and shocking revelations. But before the show’s stars sit down on stage to hash out all their drama, let’s check in and see where things stood with each couple at the end of the season.
Ashley and Manuel
In the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 finale, Ashley Michelle and Manuel Vélez headed out to a bar to celebrate his birthday with her family. But the evening took a turn when the couple began to argue about money. Ashley confronted Manuel about the $1,000 she’d given him, and he drunkenly confessed he’d used it to pay off debts in his home country of Ecuador. Ashley was stunned and betrayed, especially after he’d attacked her over her student loan debt. She wondered if their marriage had a future.
“He came over on a lie,” Ashley said. “There absolutely is no trust. There never will be … I don’t even know if I can be in this relationship anymore.”
Loren and Alexei
In Happily Ever After? season 8, longtime 90 Day couple Loren and Alexei Brovarnick navigated new challenges in their marriage. Loren was feeling insecure about her appearance after giving birth to two children, so she decided to undergo a mommy makeover. Alexei wasn’t totally on board with his wife’s surgery, but she went through with the procedures anyway. By the end of the season, she was on the road to recovery — and considering more surgeries. Alexei gathered some friends to discourage his wife from going under the knife again. He’s concerned that Loren’s body image and self-esteem issues could damage their relationship.
Emily and Kobe
Emily Bieberly is expecting her third child with Kobe Blaise, much to the shock of her parents. The couple is still living with her mom and dad, and they’re wondering when their daughter and son-in-law will be ready to move out on their own. Kobe is prepared to go, but Emily wants to find the perfect place for their growing family. Will they be able to find a new home before the little one arrives?
Sophie and Rob
Sophie Sierra and Rob Warne made their TLC debut in 90 Day Fiancé season 10, which aired in 2023. Happily Ever After? followed them after they said, “I do,” and it didn’t take long for major cracks in their relationship to appear. Rob was threatened by his wife’s bisexuality. She didn’t believe he was being faithful. Her emotional outbursts, as well as her meddling mom and friend, put further strain on the relationship. By the end of the season, Rob had dumped Sophie, much to her shock.
“I don’t understand why you’re giving up on me when I should be giving up on you,” she cried as he prepared to walk away for good.
But is it really over for Rob and Sophie? The couple are rumored to be part of the 90 Day: The Last Resort Season 2 cast.
Liz and Ed
After more than a dozen breakups and makeups, Liz Woods and Big Ed Brown finally went their separate ways in Happily Ever After? season 8. After an epic argument about taco pasta, Ed canceled their wedding without telling Liz. She left Ed behind in Arkansas and returned home to San Diego. Though a teaser for the tell-all seems to show Ed trying to patch things up with Liz, she’s done. Not only has Liz confirmed she has a new boyfriend, but she’s bringing him with her to the 90 Day reunion.
Jasmine and Gino
Jasmine Pineda left her life — and her children — behind in Panama to move to Michigan to be with Gino Palazzolo. But she’s having doubts about Gino’s commitment to the marriage. In the finale, the pair got into an intense argument when Jasmine confronted her husband about not filing her visa paperwork. An evasive Gino finally admitted he hadn’t completed the process, leading Jasmine to accuse him of ruining her life. Later, she revealed he’d been holding her passport hostage.
“I don’t wanna see you ever again,” Jasmine told her husband before storming out of their shared hotel room. “My marriage is just at the verge of the breaking point,” she said later.
“I don’t see how we’re going to survive,” Gino confessed in a separate interview.
Thaís and Patrick
In the finale, Patrick Mendes and Thaís Ramone were in Brazil celebrating their daughter’s birthday. The celebration also gave Patrick a chance to have a heart-to-heart with his dad, who was absent during much of his childhood. Though Thaís and Patrick had clashed over her desire for him to set boundaries with his dad, she was pleased that they seemed to be moving forward in a healthier way. The reunion also helped repair the tense relationship between Thaís and Patrick’s brother John. The couple is looking forward to their future together.
“I’m so grateful that I met Thaís,” Patrick said.
Angela and Michael

After spending years in a long-distance marriage, Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi were finally together in the United States at the end of season 8. But being in the same country didn’t mean a happily ever after for the couple. In the finale, Angela continued to worry about her husband’s “shady” behavior. At the urging of her daughter Skyla, she met with a private investigator and asked him to look into Michael’s past. The PI will make an appearance during the tell-all and reveal what he uncovered. But whatever he finds, it seems that Angela and Michael are done. Social media updates from both in recent months indicate they are no longer together.
Nicole and Mahmoud
Finally, there’s Nicole and Mahmoud El Sherbiny. The couple appeared in a handful of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? episodes this season, which followed them as Mahmoud moved from Egypt to LA to be with his wife. But before long, they vanished from the show. While the show hasn’t addressed their absence so far, they were apparently cut following Mahmoud’s arrest on domestic violence charges in February 2024, In Touch reported. Their current relationship status is unknown, but tell-all host Shaun Robinson said on Instagram that their situation will be addressed at the reunion.
The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 8 tell-all kicks off Sunday, July 28 at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
