Chantel Everett (from The Family Chantel)
After her high-profile divorce from Pedro Jimeno, Chantel is back and seemingly ready to mingle. She’s focusing on self-growth and finding a genuine connection, without the shadow of “The Family Chantel” drama.
Pedro Jimeno (from The Family Chantel)
Yes, you read that right – both halves of the iconic Chantel-Pedro split are on the same season! Pedro Jimeno is embracing his real estate career in Georgia and is on a quest to find love that doesn’t involve constant family feuds.
Sophie Sierra (from 90 Day Fiancé Season 10)
Following her divorce from Rob Warne, Sophie Sierra is looking for a deeper, more committed relationship. Her journey takes an unexpected turn when she explores a romance with another franchise alum.
Liz Woods (from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?)
Finally free from the tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship with Big Ed Brown, Liz Woods is ready for a healthy partnership. She’s moving back to San Diego and focusing on what she truly wants in a man.
Julia Trubinka (from 90 Day Fiancé Season 8)
Julia, best known for her life with Brandon Gibbs on the farm, is seeking an independent path. While Brandon might still be in the picture, Julia is exploring her own desires and friendships within the franchise.
Veronica Rodriguez (from 90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk)
After her complicated romance with Tim Malcolm’s best friend, Jamal, Veronica is once again searching for her perfect match. She’s known for her sharp wit and no-nonsense approach to dating.

The Pairs: Unexpected Twists and Budding Romances
This season has already set the internet ablaze with its surprising connections. The biggest bombshell?
Pedro Jimeno & Sophie Sierra
This is the pairing no one saw coming! After Sophie’s divorce from Rob Warne and Pedro’s from Chantel Everett, the two are exploring a romantic relationship. Filming has confirmed Sophie traveling to the Dominican Republic to spend time with Pedro, leading to what promises to be a dramatic introduction to Pedro’s famously protective sister, Nicole Jimeno. Viewers are eager to see if this cross-season romance can survive the “family Chantel” curse.
While the main focus seems to be on Sophie and Pedro, other cast members are also forging new connections:
Chantel Everett’s New Chapter
While not explicitly paired with another 90 Day alum (yet!), early teasers show Chantel going on several dates, including a potentially scandalous one with a younger man. Her focus is on healing and rediscovering herself.
Liz Woods’ Fresh Start
Liz is determined to find a love that doesn’t involve repeated breakups and makeups. She’s entering the dating scene with renewed confidence, and rumors of a potential new engagement by late 2025 are swirling, keeping fans guessing about her mystery man.
The “Girls’ Trip” Dynamic
Liz Woods, Sophie Sierra, and Julia Trubinka were seen filming together in the Dominican Republic. This “girls’ trip” dynamic adds a fun layer of friendship and support, allowing the women to lean on each other as they navigate their single lives.
What Else to Expect: Drama, Growth, and Hot Takes
Family Interference: It wouldn’t be 90 Day Fiancé without it! Pedro’s sister, Nicole, is expected to play a significant role in his new relationship with Sophie. Will Sophie be able to win over the notoriously critical Nicole, or will it be another “Family Chantel”-level feud?
Personal Transformations
Many cast members have undergone significant personal changes. Sophie has embraced her natural hair and a healthier lifestyle, while Liz has focused on therapy and self-love after her traumatic breakup with Big Ed.
Travel and Adventure
From the Dominican Republic to various U.S. cities, expect plenty of scenic backdrops as our singles explore new romantic horizons.
Social Media Firestorm
With such a high-profile cast, expect fan theories, hot takes, and direct interactions with cast members to dominate social media after every episode.
FAQs
Here are some burning questions fans have about the new relationships and dynamics this season 5.
Q: Are Pedro and Sophie actually together, or is this just for the show?
A: While reality TV often blurs lines, Sophie did travel to the Dominican Republic to film with Pedro, indicating a genuine attempt to explore a relationship. Their social media interactions prior to the announcement also hinted at a connection. However, the true extent and longevity of their romance will be a central storyline of Season 5. Fans are currently divided, with some believing it’s a natural pairing and others skeptical about their long-term compatibility.
Q: How did Pedro and Sophie even meet?
A: It’s speculated that they connected through their shared association with the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Many cast members become friends or acquaintances off-screen due to attending events, filming spin-offs, or simply having mutual connections within the network. Their exact “meet-cute” is expected to be revealed on The Single Life Season 5.
Q: Is Chantel aware that Pedro is dating Sophie? How will she react?
A: Given the prominence of both Pedro and Chantel in the 90 Day universe, it’s highly likely Chantel is aware of Pedro’s new relationship. Her reaction, however, is a huge question mark. Will she offer a polite acknowledgement, or will there be residual tension from their divorce? Fans are hoping for a scene (or at least a Pillow Talk reaction) from Chantel regarding Pedro’s new love interest.
Q: Is Liz Woods really engaged after Big Ed?
A: Rumors circulated in late 2025 about Liz being engaged to a new man named Jayson Zuniga. While Liz did briefly date Jayson after her final split from Big Ed, current reports suggest she entered The Single Life Season 5 as a single woman. The show is expected to reveal the truth about her current relationship status and whether she found love (or an engagement!) during filming. Liz herself has been teasing fans on social media without giving away too many spoilers.
Q: What’s the deal with Julia Trubinka and this “girls’ trip” with Liz and Sophie? Is she still with Brandon?
A: Julia is indeed still with Brandon Gibbs. Her appearance on The Single Life is more about exploring her friendships and personal independence within the franchise. She’s joining Liz and Sophie on a “girls’ trip” to the Dominican Republic, offering support and sisterhood as the other women navigate their dating lives. This allows Julia to engage with the Single Life premise without necessarily being “single” herself, focusing on her growth and expanding her social circle beyond the farm.
Conclusion
90 Day: The Single Life Season 5 is shaping up to be a compelling watch, filled with all the emotional rollercoasters, shocking revelations, and unexpected romances that fans have come to love. So tune in, follow the drama, and get ready to root for (or against!) your favorite singles as they search for true love.
