The Family Chantel: Pedro Jimeno Set to Permanently Leave the U.S. for New Adventures After Welcoming a New Family Member

Pedro Jimeno, a familiar face from The Family Chantel, is contemplating a significant life change: a permanent return to the Dominican Republic. His journey back to his roots comes on the heels of welcoming new family members and reflects his evolving priorities since his arrival in the U.S. in 2016 for his marriage to Chantel Everett. Despite a tumultuous relationship characterized by family clashes and challenges, their marriage ultimately ended when Pedro filed for divorce in May 2022, largely spurred by claims of drama and infidelity.

Since their separation, Pedro has dedicated himself to personal growth, excelling in his career as a real estate agent while also garnering some adorable new companions—a couple of black cats—at his Georgia home. The end of his marriage raised eyebrows among fans, leading to speculations about his intentions when they first met. Many viewers saw Pedro’s departure from the marriage as a sign of potential ulterior motives, suggesting he may have come to the U.S. for the wrong reasons. However, he has now expressed a desire to prioritize his happiness over the “American dream.”

In a recent Instagram Story, Pedro shared a video from @smartcaribbean_ featuring a man urging his friend to relocate to the Dominican Republic, a title that intriguingly read, “me convincing my friend to move to DR and live off the land.” This post underscores his potential plans to return to the Dominican Republic, underscored by the picturesque and verdant landscapes of Constanza, which were highlighted in the video.

Implications of Pedro’s Consideration to Relocate

Distinct from many in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, Pedro has never fervently pursued the quintessential American lifestyle. Instead, encouragement to settle in the U.S. came from his mother, Lidia Morel and sister, Nicole Jimeno, who harbored aspirations of moving as well. For Pedro, financial success was important, but he did not view his bond with Chantel as a vehicle to achieve his aspirations. He genuinely loved her but ultimately ended their relationship, believing it was hindering his personal and professional development.

With a successful career in real estate and a newfound independence following his divorce, Pedro is at a crossroads, contemplating his future. With considerable savings, he seems inclined to return to the Dominican Republic, reuniting with his family and seeking a fresh start. Should he find a confidant or companion for his journey, it’s conceivable he might take the leap to leave behind his life in Georgia, particularly after receiving criticism for remaining there post-divorce.

Of late, Pedro’s Instagram activity has suggested a sense of solitude. Reflecting on the painful journey to success, it’s evident that being separated from Chantel for over two years has forced him to confront the emotional ramifications of their divorce. The absence of his family during this period might be weighing heavily on him, particularly as travel costs for holidays in 2024 remain prohibitively high. It appears that Pedro is yearning for the comfort of his family and the familiarity of his homeland, where he could embark on a new chapter of his life.
