The latest episode, number 15 of season 6, of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, premiered on October 7, 2024. This episode showcased the couples advancing their relationships as they sought solutions to their significant challenges. Among them were Sean and Joanne, who tied the knot in a private ceremony.
In earlier episodes, Joanne revealed to her children, Joey and Jess, that she had been married to Sean for two years and was planning to relocate to Ireland to be with him. She expressed her expectations for her sons to remain in New York, where they had grown up.
During this episode, a conversation unfolded between Joanne and her eldest son, Joey, who questioned his mother about her impending move. The teenager expressed concerns about how he and his younger brother would manage without her.
He raised a valid point, asking Joanne what would happen if something were to happen to either of them. Joanne reassured him by stating that she would continue to be their mother and would take the next flight home if needed.
Viewers of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way voiced their disapproval of Joanne’s decisions, claiming she was neglecting her responsibilities as a mother.
“Joanne is making a mistake by prioritizing Sean over her children!!”one viewer commented.
“Joanne is clearly not understanding that she’s choosing to abandon her kids,”another viewer added.
“Hold on…is Joanne really planning to leave her younger son with his teenage brother in New York?,”pointed out a third viewer.
“Joanne has created all this confusion. Her children seem to be an afterthought. She’s prioritizing a relationship instead of being a mother,”another viewer expressed.
Supporters of the show criticized the reality of her younger son being too young to be left behind.
“Honestly, Joanne is not winning any ‘Mother of the Year’ awards. She’s leaving behind her children, one of whom is only 6 or 8 years old. This is just appalling. She’s making her son feel guilty for wanting her to stay,”wrote a user on X.
“Wouldn’t it make sense for Joanne to at least wait until her son graduates from high school before moving?,”questioned another user.
“It seems like Sean cares more about Joanne’s kids than she does,”stated another commenter.
“I wonder how much flight tickets to Ireland cost because it sounds like Joanne is ready to hop on a plane whenever her kids need her,”wrote a fan.
In Episode 15, 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’s Joanne assures her older son that he won’t have to look after his younger brother
The recently aired 15th episode featured Joanne’s older son, Joey, asking her if she had finalized a moving date. She informed him that there wasn’t a set date and she still needed to create a schedule outlining her time between Ireland and New York.
She confirmed that she hadn’t planned it yet and was still supposed to create a timeline of her days split between the two locations.
Joey reminded her that their father lived just 45 minutes away while she would be situated in Ireland. He posed the question of what would happen if their younger brother Jesse fell ill or got injured at school and stressed that he felt responsible for Jesse’s safety.
“You’re not going to take on the responsibility for Jesse. You aren’t his parent. I’m still here as your mom and his mom. I may be further away, but if anything comes up, I’ll be on the next flight back,”Joanne reassured her son.
She mentioned that their grandparents would be available to assist them, and if Joey and Jesse chose to move to Ireland, they would be welcomed. However, Joey expressed that this situation felt like a lose-lose for him.
In a private moment during a confessional, Joanne admitted that she hadn’t fully considered the “negatives”when entering her relationship with Sean and stated that she believed everything would ultimately work out.
New episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 6 air every Monday at 8 PM ET on TLC.
