But now, the two are engaged.

Yolanda was catfished

Fans will remember Leak from the last season of Before the 90 Days. While on the show, she believed that she was dating an English man named Williams, however fans were quick to note that there was something fishy about Leak’s lover. First, he would never FaceTime Leak and when they did talk on the phone, his accent was definitely not British. When Leak planned to visit Williams in Manchester, he did not know any of the airports that were supposedly in his area.

After a while, Williams stopped talking to Leak and a mystery woman began blackmailing her with photos that she had sent to Williams. Upset by the whole thing, Leak hired a private investigator who all but confirmed that Williams was a scammer and lived in Nigeria, not the U.K.

Yolanda and Josh’s relationship

Seiter met Leak while on a birthday trip to Las Vegas in August.

“I was on the strip and I saw her,” he told The Sun. “There was this energy. I was very attracted to her. I saw her and I felt drawn to her, it was weird. I felt drawn to say something. I asked her how she was doing. She had this little smile on her face that was endearing. It made me feel comfortable because I’m typically shy.”

He asked her for her social media information without realizing who she was.

“Later that day, I went to add and message and that’s when I realized she was on ’90 Day Fiancé.’ I saw the show before, but in my head it didn’t click at the time.”

After just five days of talking, the two made their relationship official.

“I know a lot of people would be like, ‘How in one week?’ but when it’s right, it’s right,” he said. “When you’re this into someone it becomes irrelevant.

“It just happened organically. We just had the conversation and it was like, yes we’re together. We said it without saying it. It was obvious. I knew the day I met her that I wanted to be with her.”

The relationship moved quickly

The two quickly began to plan a future together.

“I do plan to fly and see her in September,” he continued. “The conversation came early on. Vegas is appealing.

“She said she would move to Chicago, but I told her I would prefer to move there. We both work remotely so we can live where we want.”

Seiter recently decided to quit his career as an exotic dancer and take the bar exam so he could better take care of Leak and her kids.

The engagement

Earlier this week, Seiter posted a picture of the ring that he planned on proposing with and the caption, “flight to Vegas booked.” Leak commented on the post with heart and crying emojis. The proposal was quite nontraditional, but then again, nothing about this pair is conventional.
