00:00He's from Iran, and we will have 90 days to get married.
00:07Maybe not.
00:09Of course, I have, you know, some, uh, concerns.
00:12I really want you to be able to meet him and be there.
00:16That's just important.
00:18They hate Americans, you know that, huh?
00:22The new season of 90 Day Fiancé is here, and it's looking like it's going to be really wild.
00:27Mark has found love with Mina, and they even share a baby together.
00:31Mina's quite a bit younger than him, and Mark's daughter is concerned for his relationship.
00:37She thinks that maybe Mina is not in this for the right reasons.
00:41My brother and I went to Paris to meet Mina and for Maria the baby's baptism.
00:47There was a cocktail hour, there was a catered dinner, multiple open bars.
00:52It was very over the top for a baptism party.
00:56And Mina was about three hours, four hours late to the party,
01:00and kind of left my whole family there while she was getting glammed up.
01:05It didn't feel like my family being there was much of a priority to her.
01:10So I kind of left Paris feeling that maybe she could be taking advantage of him,
01:14could be going after his money, could just be trying to come to the U.S.
01:18I really don't know.
01:19Matt and Imani are a married couple who are happily in love, and they have a girlfriend.
01:23This is the first throuple that's been shown on 90 Day.
01:27We're a throuple.
01:29A throuple is a three-people relationship.
01:32You're dating that person, so you're emotionally involved, physically involved, mentally involved.
01:38Nothing is off the table.
01:41There is a lot of stigma around a throuple.
01:44It's very sexualized.
01:46A lot of people assume it's just a hookup, but it's actually a long-term commitment,
01:50just like any other two-person relationship.
01:53We're missing our better half.
01:56Every throuple is different, but we speak every day.
02:00We know each other's children.
02:02We build friendships.
02:03We celebrate holidays.
02:05You hear each other fart?
02:07Yep.
02:08They're even thinking of getting divorced so that one of them can apply for the K-1 visa for Ani.
02:13This is our first polyamorous relationship, and it's been really, really fun.
02:17It's like when we fell in love with her, we were falling in love with each other all over again, too.
02:23We want to bring her to live with us in the U.S.,
02:26but obviously we have one tiny bit of an issue, and that is we are legally married.
02:34Our only option is to get legally divorced so that one of us can apply for the K-1 visa and bring her to the U.S.
02:42This trip is different and very important to us because we do want to take the next step with you in our relationship.
02:52I'm nervous.
02:54They told their friends about their plans, who are very concerned for a variety of reasons.
02:59You're legally tying yourself to someone that I feel like you barely know.
03:03It's been a year.
03:04I was there when you met her.
03:06I know how long, but I also know that it's not a year straight.
03:09There's a difference between an entire year with somebody and seeing them through good and bad times
03:14and then going on vacation with them a couple times.
03:16Matt and I were together for three months before we got married,
03:21one week before we moved in together, and we're still here.
03:25That's not the rule.
03:26When you know, you know.
03:28Matt first told me six months ago that they're opening up, that they found somebody that they're partnering up with.
03:34A lot of people out there in this world live in poly relationships.
03:38He's excited about it.
03:39He likes it.
03:40But I'm mostly concerned just about overall Matt's well-being,
03:43just making sure that he is going through what he wants to do in life.
03:46Is he doing this because it's going to make his wife happy?
03:48Is he going to do it because it makes him happy?
03:50Stevie has found love with Maddie from Iran.
03:53She opened up about some of the struggles they faced as a couple.
03:56I think anybody that's in a long-distance relationship has to deal with a lot of difficulties,
04:02but we also have added stress because our two countries don't like one another.
04:06Maddie and I are not able to exchange gifts.
04:08We're not able to send mail.
04:10And also, Maddie's country is constantly banning connections with our country.
04:15Literally, Maddie and I just want to be together, but we know at any moment a war could start,
04:20and we could lose that opportunity forever.
04:23I'm constantly nervous because I don't know if something's going to go bad,
04:27and they're going to shut down the airport or something, and then he won't be able to leave.
04:34That's like probably my biggest fear.
04:35Sometimes it makes me super upset, thinking that we've got this far,
04:39and then there's a possibility that he can't leave.
04:43She also hasn't told her dad about their relationship,
04:45and Maddie's supposed to arrive in the States the next day.
04:49Americans hear about Iran, they automatically assume, like, terrorist.
04:59My dad bleeds red, white, and blue, so I don't know how he's going to feel
05:02about me bringing a boy from a country that supposedly hates us.
05:08But now Maddie is coming tomorrow, and I need to tell my dad everything today.
05:15I'm going over to have my dad look at my car because I need to get the oil put in it,
05:22and one of my lights went out.
05:24I'm going to have dad fix all those things, but I haven't told him the reason why I'm getting them fixed,
05:28and that's because Maddie is coming, so now I'm on the way to get it all out and tell him.
05:36She broke the news to her dad, who was really shocked.
05:39I don't—they didn't just get out of marriage.
05:43I know it seems crazy, and I would have never expected that,
05:46but I fell in love with this person, and I like them, and that's how it is.
05:53Yeah, I know. It's a lot.
05:54It's a lot.
05:57Is he going to make you wear a jihad and not drive or do anything?
06:00No, not at all. No, he's not. Mm-mm.
06:03You don't know? You're his property.
06:05No, it's not like that.
06:06It is like that.
06:07It's not like that. I'm telling you, I know him, and it's not like that.
06:11You had to bring him, wait on him hand and foot and stuff or whatever happened?
06:14No, absolutely not.
06:16Once you get to know somebody, they start changing or something.
06:19No.
06:20I wasn't expecting to hear that.
06:22If Matty Collins has a lot of expectations as far as his upbringing and stuff,
06:27that's different from ours.
06:29We need to stop and rethink this whole situation.
06:32Shekinah and Sarper are back,
06:34and they're hoping he'll get approved for his visa to come to the States.
06:37You remember our meeting point?
06:39Yes.
06:40I will be there at 11.
06:42I won't have phone.
06:43I know.
06:44I don't have anything.
06:45I hate that you're not going to have your phone.
06:46No, you will understand from my face.
06:48Yeah.
06:50See you.
06:51Love you.
06:52If Sarper doesn't get approved today,
06:54I really don't see how we can survive in a long-distance relationship.
06:59My daughter lives in the U.S.
07:01My business is there,
07:03and this has become such a big, you know, stressful situation
07:08because so much is riding on it.
07:12I'm just trying to think positive in this moment,
07:14and I keep thinking he's going to be approved.
07:17He's going to be approved.
07:18He has to get approved.
07:20The episode ended with Sarper approaching Shekinah after his appointment,
07:24and it ended on a cliffhanger.
07:38Baby, I don't like how your face looks.
07:42What happened?
07:45Why'd that take so long?
07:48What happened?
07:49Are you okay?
