‘90 Day Fiancé’ Season 11 returning couples
Three couples from other 90 Day shows will appear in 90 Day Fiancé Season 11.
Fans last saw Shekinah and Sarper in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 6. During that season’s tell-all, the couple revealed that they were engaged and that Sarper had moved to Los Angeles from Istanbul, Turkey. Now that he’s in the U.S., he has to prove to Shekinah that he won’t fall back into his old playboy habits. He also has to win over Shekinah’s family, particularly her daughter Sofie. Together, they’ll have to decide if they’re ready to commit to a future together in America.
Shawn and Alliya were part of the 90 Day Fiancé: Love In Paradise Season 4 cast. The couple connected online before Shawn, a hairstylist, traveled to Brazil to meet Alliya. Now, she’s moving to the U.S. to be with her man.
“From the slums to Beverly Hills,” Alliya says in the trailer (via YouTube) for the new season. “It’s a new life. It’s like I’m just born today.”
But will Alliya’s new life be too much for Shawn? The couple faces several hurdles on their way to happily ever after, including their 30-year age gap and Shawn’s concerns about Alliya’s gender transition. Alliya has traveled to LA with the goal of marrying Shawn. Can Shawn say “I do” to someone whose identity is changing before his eyes?
Finally, there’s Jessica and Juan, who appeared in 90 Day Fiancé: Love In Paradise Season 3. The couple met on a cruise where Jessica was a passenger and Juan was working as a bartender. Now, he’s moving to Wyoming from Colombia to be with Jessica, their baby son, and her children from a previous relationship. But she’s not sure he’s ready to give up his globe-trotting ways to be a full-time dad, leading to tensions in this young family.

Three new couples and one throuple will be part of the 90 Day Fiancé Season 11 cast.
Stevi and Mahdi met when she began teaching him online English classes. After a whirlwind romance, Mahdi moved from Tehran to Mississippi to marry Stevi. But once he arrives in the U.S., he’s quickly overwhelmed by homesickness. He also discovers some things about Stevi that leave him unsettled and wondering if he can move forward with the wedding.
“If I find out that Stevi is bisexual, I really don’t think that we can get married,” he says.
Mark and Mina have been together for some time and already have a 2-year-old daughter. He’s a 59-year-old divorced pilot living in rural New Hampshire. She’s a glamorous 34-year-old model from Paris. Now, she’s finally moving to the U.S. so they can be together. But to be with Mark, Mina will have to temporarily leave her 9-year-old son behind in Paris while his passport is processed. Plus, Mark’s daughter Jordan isn’t sure about Mina’s intentions.
“Part of me wonders if she had the baby to try to lock down my dad,” Jordan says.
As Mina struggles to adjust to life in America, she wonders if it might be time to return home.
Gregory and Joan fell in love after meeting on his vacation to Uganda. Now, she’s moving to New York so they can build a life together in the U.S. However, this couple might not be aligned with their life goals. Joan is a highly educated NGO director, while Gregory doesn’t have reliable work and lives with his mom. Once she arrives in America, Joan begins to question her choices. She gives Gregory an ultimatum: Find a steady job or she’ll head back to Uganda.
Finally, there’s Matt, Amani, and Any. Matt and Amani are a married couple from San Diego who turned to polyamory to navigate some issues in their marriage. They’ve gotten involved with Any, a single mom and exotic dancer from Tijuana. They’d like to formalize their arrangement and move Any to the U.S. However, to do that, Matt and Amani must divorce so one of them can marry Any.
