The fan favorite returns to see if a diamond is truly forever on Sunday, June 25th at 8/7c

Los Angeles - The second season of 90 DAY FIANCÉ: HAPPILY EVER AFTER? returns with five couples from previous seasons of the original series who gave up everything for a shot at love and the American dream. The couples had 90 days to marry their foreign-born fiancé or return home. Having navigated through the K-1 "fiancé visa" process, the couples are now married, but quickly realize that the honeymoon is over as real life sets in.

Life after 90 Days continues for Danielle & Mohamed, Loren & Alexei, Russ & Paola, Jorge & Anfisa and Chantel & Pedro as they each have a quick dose of reality and drama unfolds when married life in America doesn't quite live up to their expectations. In addition to the usual ups and downs of being newly married, the couples are forced to deal with major cultural differences, stress from financial difficulties and disapproving family members.

Before the second season premieres, fans can watch the entire first season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? for free now at TLC.com/HappilyEverAfter and on the TLC Go App. Also, TLC will air two specials that look at the couple's journey so far on June 11th and June 18th at 8/7c.

In addition, the exclusive digital series, 90 DAY FIANCÉ: WHAT NOW? will stream on TLC.com and on the TLC Go App. The series delves into the lives of 90 DAY FIANCÉ couples that fans never got the chance to see past their "I do's."
