Seven couples were featured on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5, and most made it to the end. The new season of the popular spin-off premiered in July 2023 and is about to end. The finale airs sometime in October, followed by the three-part Tell All, which will clarify the couples who made it through. 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5 had a vibrant cast that entertained viewers. Some of them seemed like a good match for each other, while others irked many fans.
Armando Rubio and Kenny Niedermeier were among the most notable pairs in season 5, as they already appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 3. The couple's issues didn't revolve around getting married but about moving to a new city and having a baby. Similarly, Daniele Gates and Yohan Geronimo were another couple that returned to the franchise after getting married in Love in Paradise. The pair had to go through various personal issues, such as a mutual lack of respect and being unable to have a baby.
7 Julio & Kirsten
Kirsten Schoemaker and Julio Moya were the first to exit 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5. Their relationship always seemed superficial, but things eventually exploded when they met. Julio had promised Kirsten that he'd move with her to the Netherlands. However, after Kirsten visited the United States, the New Yorker changed his mind and began pushing her to settle with him in the United States instead. The sudden change of plans resulted in the couple calling it quits, as Kirsten lashed out at Julio for being dishonest. The two have since hinted they have split for good and won't reconcile.
6 Mary & Brandan
Most viewers thought a breakup was the best possible outcome for Brandan DeNuccio and Mary Demasu-ay's toxic relationship. The two were unnaturally obsessed with each other and didn't know the meaning of personal space. They also emotionally abused one another and acted insecure. Despite the differences, the couple did tie the knot after Brandan moved to the Philippines with a few hundred dollars of savings he had. Mary and Brandan are now married, although it's unknown how happy they are. Their social media posts hint their relationship dynamic is the same as before.
5 Shekinah & Sarper
Shekinah Garner and Sarper Güven appeared halfway through 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5. Their story revolved around Shekinah wanting to leave her American life behind to settle with her "playboy" lover in Turkey. So far, the pair have shown that their relationship is full of red flags. Despite that, they seem very compatible due to their common goals. Shekinah and Sarper appear to be taking advantage of their reality TV fame. They already have an Instagram couple account, Shekinah and Sarper, and post cuddly videos that hint they are together.
4 Kenny & Armando
Viewers were confused about why a stable duo like Kenny and Armando returned to the popular spin-off. However, that confusion cleared up after the pair showcased they still had some differences to overcome. Kenny and Armando faced two major issues during their appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. First was their disagreement on moving to a new city, and second was their differing views on having a baby. Kenny felt he was too old to have a kid in his 60s but eventually agreed with Armando. The pair seems happier than ever, and they reportedly had a child through surrogacy.
3 Holly & Wayne
Holly Weeks surprised 90 Day Fiancé fans with her eccentric personality, while Wayne Cornish's motivations made viewers question him. Despite that, the two appear to share a deep love and accept each other for their flaws. Holly didn't mind that Wayne had financial issues, and eventually, they tied the knot. She kickstarted her new life in South Africa alongside her new husband. Unfortunately, In Touch reports that the pair may not be together anymore. In August, someone leaked Holly's address online, which suggests she has returned to the United States. However, whether she's pursuing a long-distance marriage or has split from Wayne is unknown.
2 Daniele & Yohan
Daniele and Yohan had a weird relationship. Sometimes, they seemed very much in love, while other times, they seemed like enemies. Daniele wanted Yohan to step up to the plate and be a more mature husband. Yohan wanted Daniele to give him a baby and respect him. The pair broke up repeatedly over the last few months and contemplated parting ways for good. Despite that, they stayed together and even interacted on social media. For now, Daniele and Yohan don't follow each other on Instagram. This clue does imply they may have split.
1 Kimberly & TJ
Kimberly Rochelle and Tejaswi "TJ" Goswami had the most explosive relationship on the show. The two had several cultural differences that hindered them from loving each other. Kimberly didn't want to change herself to fit into TJ's culture. However, TJ wanted her to show more respect and build a friendly relationship with his family. Kimberly had several arguments with TJ, his brother, and his mother. Despite that, they did get married. Kimberly recently responded to a fan on social media and claimed she was back in the United States. However, her and TJ's similar-looking social media posts hint they are still together.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way shows are often full of toxic pairs, and the new season wasn't different. However, the latest spin-off did feature a better variety of couples. The show will conclude in October 2023 as 90 Day Fiancé season 10 begins. However, viewers will probably not have to wait long to see 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way again. Fans will likely see 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 6 by mid-2024, if not earlier.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
