'90 Day Fiancé' star Kobe shames his fiancé Emily for breastfeeding their 17-month-old son: 'I can't be sharing breasts'

• "90 Day Fiancé" star Kobe confronted Emily about breastfeeding their son in front of her parents.
• He also said she shouldn't still be breastfeeding 17-month-old Koben.

"90 Day Fiancé" stars Kobe and Emily had their first fight since Kobe's been in the US on Sunday's episode because Kobe had strong opinions on where and how long Emily chose to breastfeed their 17-month-old son, Koben.

"She's gonna be my wife and we make love, you know, and I have to suck her breasts," Kobe told the cameras in a solo confessional interview. "'Cause I love breasts, to be honest, alright? So, I can't be sharing breasts and...with my son." He said he didn't want to sound "selfish" but he was just telling "the truth."

Emily and Kobe met at a club in China. Emily left Kansas to teach English there and Kobe came from Cameroon, a country in Africa. They got engaged within two weeks of knowing each other and Emily went back to the US when she learned she was pregnant. Kobe had planned to follow, but the pandemic delayed his visa process.

The couple's fight about Emily's breastfeeding came on the first day that Kobe was meeting their son in person since arriving in Kansas.

Along with the fact that his son was still breastfeeding at 17 months, Kobe had a problem with where and when his fiancé was choosing to pump milk.

"Is this really happening?" Kobe asked Emily when she began pumping in the living room in front of her parents, Lisa and David. "This is not normal. You can't be doing this like in front of your parents as well."

When Emily explained she's been pumping her milk in front of her parents for 17 months, Kobe said that just because they allowed it "doesn't mean it's right." He said she should be going to her basement to pump privately.

In a confessional interview, Emily acknowledged that since Kobe probably hadn't seen a woman pump milk before, watching her do it was probably "strange."

But she added: "Everyone in my family knows how hard my breastfeeding journey was. It was super difficult for me. So the fact that I'm able to produce milk now when I wasn't in the beginning is something I'm really proud of. And I'm not ashamed to do it in front of my family."

Kobe told Emily that while he hasn't seen a woman pump before, he knows women go in private rooms to pump milk and feed breastfeeding children.

In a confessional interview, Kobe said that he knew breastfeeding was "normal" but said that "where you do it also matters."

"In Africa, women will be a little more discreet," he continued.

When Emily's father, who was in the room, reluctantly got in the middle of the argument to defend his daughter and say that he didn't mind her pumping, Kobe said he also took issue with how long Emily has been breastfeeding Koben.

"My younger sister, she stopped breastfeeding when the son was like seven months," he told Emily.

In a joint confessional interview, Emily said she thought Kobe was trying to push her to stop "because he wants that bond that Koben and I have."

"I'm not going to take that away just because you're here," Emily told Kobe.

"90 Day Fiancé" airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
