Shekinah Garner & Sarper Guven
Los Angeles & Istanbul, Turkey
Shekinah and Sarper emerged as prominent figures in the 90 Day Fiancé universe, first appearing in season 5 of The Other Way. During her journey to Turkey, Shekinah’s commitment was complicated by her responsibilities as a mother to her teenage daughter and her business in Los Angeles. While she intended to return to the U.S. regularly, her partner Sarper expressed reluctance to relocate due to financial uncertainties and a need for autonomy, despite having his K-1 visa approved.
In a bid to solidify their relationship, Sarper proposed to Shekinah in Turkey, hoping she would choose to live with him. However, with Sarper’s move to the U.S. in August 2024, the couple now faces significant hurdles, including gaining acceptance from Shekinah’s family and daughter, Sofie. Sarper must also shake off his past reputation as a “bad boy,”or risk being sent back to Istanbul by Shekinah.
Jessica Parsons & Juan David Daza
Torrington, Wyoming & Cali, Colombia
Jessica, a mother of two from Wyoming, met Juan during a cruise vacation. Their love story unfolded in Love In Paradise season 4, during which Jessica introduced Juan to her sons as a trial run for their K-1 visa process. The couple welcomed their first child together in May 2023, but this season will put Juan’s commitment to the test as Jessica grapples with the thought of him abandoning his free-spirited bartender life for a more settled role as a full-time parent in a small town.
Shawn Finch & Alliya Batista
Los Angeles & Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Celebrity hairstylist Shawn has been in a relationship with Alliya for three years when they filmed Love In Paradise season 4. Alliya, who identifies as transgender, began her transition after being assigned male at birth. However, Shawn has struggled to openly share this part of his life with friends and family due to their 30-year age difference. The couple’s journey this season will explore Shawn’s ability to adapt to Alliya’s evolving identity as she contemplates surgery and what their future holds.
Mahdi & Stevi
Tehran, Iran & Hattiesburg, Mississippi
Making history as the first Iranian cast member, Mahdi met Stevi while taking English lessons online. Their relationship took a significant step when he moved to Mississippi after just one week of in-person time spent together. As complications arise due to Mahdi’s homesickness and cultural differences, viewers are eager to see how they will adapt. Notably, the couple confronts issues of identity and acceptance when Mahdi learns that Stevi has not disclosed her bisexuality to her family.
Mark & Mine
West Ossipee, New Hampshire & Paris, France
Mark and Mina face skepticism from Mark’s family due to their significant 25-year age difference, despite having a two-year-old daughter together. Mina, originally from Paris, is now navigating life in rural New Hampshire, but has left her eldest son in France while awaiting his passport. Conflict arises as she clashes with Mark’s adult daughter, who questions her motives in their relationship, leading to an explosive moment where Mina calls her a “snake.”
Joan & Gregory
Kampala, Uganda & Islip Terrace, New York
Absent from the initial trailers, Joan and Gregory’s relationship seems to promise upheaval as they enter unfamiliar territory. After meeting during a vacation in Uganda, Joan is set to move to the U.S. with high expectations. Yet, the couple comes from vastly different backgrounds: Joan is a well-educated NGO Director, while Gregory lacks stable employment. Joan’s patience may wear thin as she issues an ultimatum: Gregory must secure a job or risk losing her for good, leaving audiences to wonder about the outcome of their tumultuous relationship.
Matt, Amani & Amy
San Diego & Tijuana, Mexico
Highlighting the season’s drama, Matt and Amani are seeking to expand their family dynamic after nearly a decade of marriage. With a shared history and two daughters, they’ve explored polygamous relationships, which escalates the introduction of Any, a dancer and single mother from Tijuana. The couple has already been dating Any for a year and plans to meet her family before pursuing a K-1 visa. However, it remains to be seen whether either Amani or Matt will marry Any, as such a move requires careful consideration and potential upheaval in their existing family structure.
