90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way is back, and this season’s journey promises to be a wild one, pushing the boundaries of love across continents. With six couples—four new and two returning—this season is a compelling blend of seasoned veterans and fresh faces all grappling with the same central question: is leaving everything behind for love truly worth it?
From the familiar, long-suffering duo of Jenny and Sumit, now facing their greatest challenge yet, to new couples testing the waters in places like Aruba and Australia, Season 7 is set to deliver cultural clashes, family drama, and relationship meltdowns. Let’s dig into the latest details on the 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Season 7 cast and the struggles they’ll be facing.
The Saga Continues: Returning Couples
1. Jenny Slatten (67, California) & Sumit Singh (37, India)
The Latest on Their Story: After over a decade of fighting for their relationship, Jenny and Sumit are now officially married. Their next chapter, however, is a startling one. They are currently living with Sumit’s parents, Sadhna and Anil, a move that Jenny admits she’s not happy with. The trailers show the intense drama this is causing, with Sadhna seen going through Jenny’s personal belongings, questioning her lifestyle and choices.
The Main Conflict: The primary tension this season is the forced cohabitation. For years, the couple’s biggest obstacle was winning over Sumit’s parents’ approval. Now that they have a fragile peace, they are sacrificing their privacy and independence by moving into the family home. The living arrangement is pushing Jenny to the brink, as she feels like she has no place of her own and is under constant scrutiny. Sumit, caught in the middle, struggles to balance his wife’s needs with his filial duties. The show teases an explosive moment where Jenny cries out “F**k no!” when a family member suggests she drinks alcohol, highlighting the cultural clashes at play.
Behind the Scenes: While the show portrays them as financially struggling, the couple’s income from the franchise, along with Sumit’s entrepreneurial ventures, provides for their life in India. Their new shared living situation with Sumit’s parents is the real source of the drama, not their bank account.
2. Luke Berry (32, California) & Madelein Perez (19, Colombia)
The Latest on Their Story: Luke and Madelein, who first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise, are back to continue their journey. Luke is finally making the big move to Colombia to be with Madelein, but it’s not a decision he came to lightly. Madelein issued him a clear ultimatum: move to Colombia or their relationship is over.
The Main Conflict: The central issue for this couple continues to be a severe lack of trust, intensified by rumors of Madelein cheating. The trailers show a dramatic confrontation where Madelein accuses Luke of “touching” someone else, to which he weakly denies it, prompting her to throw a dessert in his face. This financial and emotional dependence, coupled with a wide age gap and jealousy, paints a bleak picture for their future.
Behind the Scenes: The show has revealed Luke’s financial struggles, including losing his job as a mining engineer due to his constant travel to see Madelein. He has since transitioned into an “entrepreneur,” with ventures like a jewelry company and a travel brand. This season’s storyline will reveal whether Luke’s grand gesture of moving is enough to overcome their deep-seated trust issues and get them to the altar.
The Unfamiliar: New Couples, New Destinations
3. Anthony (California) & Manon (France)
The Story: A new American couple is taking a drastic step to save their marriage. Anthony and Manon, who are already married with a young son, are leaving their life in California to move to France.
The Main Conflict: Manon admits in the trailer that the “American dream is killing me” and that the move is a last-ditch effort to save their relationship. However, their fresh start comes with a number of challenges, including mounting financial stress and clashing with Manon’s family. To make matters more complicated, they’ll be sharing a bed with their son, raising questions about privacy and a healthy romantic relationship.
4. Chloe (Massachusetts) & Johny (Aruba)
The Story: Chloe is a woman giving up a six-figure job in Boston for a pirate boat tour guide she met in Aruba. This may sound like a dream, but her family and her own insecurities are putting her relationship to the test.
The Main Conflict: The core of their conflict stems from Chloe’s profound trust issues, which are exacerbated by Johny’s flirty profession. The trailer shows Chloe confronting Johny, telling him, “My trust issues come from your actions,” and shouting, “Respect what I f**king say!” This season will explore whether Chloe can find a balance between her personal fears and her desire to build a life with Johny.
5. Greta (Oklahoma) & Matthew (England)
The Story: Greta is an Oklahoma native who is moving to England to be with Matthew, a man she met on a vegan dating app.
The Main Conflict: Their main hurdle is the living arrangement. Greta is moving in with Matthew and his parents in their quaint English village. The close quarters and inevitable cultural differences will put a strain on their relationship. The show will explore whether their shared quirks, from a love of cats to their plant-based lifestyle, can hold up under the pressure of living with in-laws.
6. Pattiya (Texas) & Dylan (Tasmania, Australia)
The Story: Pattiya, an exotic dancer from Texas, is leaving her home to be with her much younger boyfriend, Dylan, in Tasmania, Australia. They have a decade-long history of an on-and-off relationship.
The Main Conflict: Beyond their 20-year age gap, their relationship will be tested by Dylan’s close relationship with his mother. The show will likely highlight the friction between Pattiya and her future mother-in-law, a classic 90 Day Fiancé plotline. The stability of their on-and-off relationship will also be a major concern, as they try to commit to each other in a new country.
