From the outset of his 90-day journey, Mahdi is overwhelmed by homesickness, leaving Stevi worried about their future. Along the way, Mahdi uncovers unsettling truths about Stevi, causing him to question his decision.

In the U.S., Sarper must prove he can adapt to his new environment without falling back into his old, reckless habits.

Together, Shekinah and Sarper must decide if they're ready to commit to each other and build a foundation in America.

Returning: Shawn (Los Angeles, CA) and Alliya (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil)

Shawn and Alliya, featured previously on 90 DAY FIANCÉ: LOVE IN PARADISE, are embarking on the next chapter of their life together in America. However, their journey is far from easy. Besides the eyebrow-raising 30-year age gap between them, Shawn has kept much of his relationship with Alliya a secret from friends and family. Will he be ready to introduce his love into his life? The most difficult hurdle is Shawn's internal struggle - he finds that Alliya, who is a trans woman, is evolving into a very different person than the one he first fell in love with as she continues to transition and explore surgical options. Now, Shawn is faced with the most important question of all: can he say "I do" to someone whose identity is changing before his eyes?

Returning: Jessica (Torrington, WY) and Juan (Cali, Colombia)

Juan and Jessica who were featured on 90 DAY FIANCÉ: LOVE IN PARADISE are back to begin their new life together in America.

The couple face many challenges, from Juan's loyalty to Jessica, to Jessica's doubts about Juan's ability to adapt to a major role shift - from a carefree cruise ship bartender to full-time Dad. With tensions rising and a new family dynamic to navigate, the couple faces a pivotal moment in their love story.
