Emily, 29, left a small town in Kansas to teach English in Xi'an, China. During a fateful night of clubbing, she met 34-year-old Kobe, who is originally from Cameroon, a country in west-central Africa.

After a one-night stand, they were engaged in two weeks. When she discovered she was pregnant, Emily went back home to Kansas. Kobe was meant to follow, but the pandemic delayed his visa-approval process for two years.

The new season will follow Kobe finally going to meet his son with Emily in-person for the first time when he heads to Kansas to be with his new family.

Franchise fans first met Ari, 30, and Bini, 31, on the "90 Day Fiancé" spinoff "90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way."

The couple met in Bini's native Ethiopia, and Ari became pregnant. She decided to move to Ethiopia from New Jersey to raise their son, Avi.

Ari and Bini have had a rollercoaster relationship, and when baby Avi needed surgery, Ari returned home to the US so he could get the help he needed and decided she wanted to stay there permanently.

Now, Bini is moving to the US to see if this is the sacrifice that will make their relationship last forever.

Guillermo, 23, was a Venezuelan native living in the Dominican Republic when he met Kara, 29, who was there on a work trip. When she returned, they kept in touch, but their relationship got serious when her job later permanently relocated her to the country. She moved in with Guillermo, and the couple quickly got engaged.

Kara moved back home to Charlottesville, Virginia, during the pandemic and Guillermo's visa has been approved so he can join her. But Kara's partying and Guillermo's insecurities might be too much for the couple to withstand.

Shaeeda and Bilal

But the couple has different goals in life that might prevent them from marrying. Bilal doesn't want more kids and Shaeeda wants to start a family. Shaeeda also objects to the prenup that her fiancé wants her to sign.

Miona, 23, caught Jibri's eye from the stage when the 28-year-old was performing with his band in North Serbia. The rest is basically history — the couple got engaged while traveling the world together.

Miona was excited to move to the US and begin a life with Jibri in Los Angeles. But he's recently moved home to be with his family in Rapid City, South Dakota. He lives a quainter life there than Miona was expecting to live in LA. The new season will follow the two as they find out whether their love can survive small-town life.

Yvette and Mohamed

Mohamed, 25, and Yvette, 48, met online and bonded over their love of fitness. They got engaged when Yvette traveled to Egypt to meet Mohamed in person.

But now that Mohamed is moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to be with Yvette, their differences might be too much for them to ignore. Yvette is 23 years older than her fiancé and has a son with a disability, while Mohamed is not used to women being as independent as Yvette is because of his culture.

Patrick and Thaís
