Lisa Hamme & Usman Umar

Before he was being pursued by Kimberly, Usman "Sojaboy" Umar appeared alongside Lisa Hamme on Before the 90 Days. Usman and Lisa married, to the shock of viewers, as it was clear that the younger Nigerian aspiring rapper was just using the unhygienic older American woman. Lisa ended up being allegedly fired from the franchise after using the N-word while speaking to Usman at the Tell-All. Usman and Lisa unsurprisingly divorced, which led to Lisa accusing Usman of using her for money, though he denied the claims. Overall, Usman and Lisa are one franchise couple who never should have tied the knot, or even dated in the first place. However, Usman is currently repeating past mistakes by continuing to pursue another older American woman on the spin-off show, despite their obvious lack of chemistry and incompatibility.

David Murphey & Lana

David Murphey-Lana-still-together- 90 Day Fiance

Few 90 Day Fiancé franchise fans can forget the delusional journey that involved American David Murphey pursuing mysterious Ukrainian beauty, Lana. David's foolishness left viewers stunned, as he continued to give Lana large sums of money and tried to meet up with her, despite her continually ghosting him as soon as he arrived to see her. This went on for years. Fans were shocked when TLC tracked down Lana and revealed she was who she said she was. However, the Ukrainian woman did not want to have a relationship with David for long after filming. Viewers think that David should have saved his money and that he needed a reality check when it came to his pursuit of Lana, and his inability to let her go.

Caesar Mack & Maria Devine

Caesar Mack Maria Divine: TLC: 90 Day Fiancé

The relationship between Caesar Mack and Maria Devine unfolded much like the union between David and Lana. American Caesar was in a five-year relationship with Ukrainian blonde Maria after the two met on an online dating site. Like David and Lana, Caesar’s relationship with Maria was a major red flag to viewers since the two had yet to meet in person. Despite this, Caesar sent Maria money regularly, to maintain their online correspondence. Though everyone close to Caesar could see that he was being scammed, he insisted that Maria was his soulmate. Caesar and Maria never met on camera, but he later revealed that they finally met after filming. However, they broke up soon after Caesar bombarded her in her home country.

Yolanda Leak & "Williams"

Yolanda Leak is yet another American cast member who was duped by her online partner. However, her digital romance with "Williams" was even more painful for viewers to watch. The "British" man claimed to be from Manchester, though he didn't know anything about the area and lacked a convincing British accent. "Williams" only ever sent Yolanda stock photos, which tipped viewers off that she was being conned. Yolanda and her 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days catfish ended up breaking up before his real identity was ever revealed to viewers.
