On a show like 90 Day Fiancé, which shows different relationships and ways of life all over the world, age gap relationships are pretty common. An integral part of the series's flair for drama, the fiery relationships on the show feature couples of all ages.
Sometimes the age gap relationships are just as happy and peaceful as the relationships where there are no significant age differences. On the other hand, sometimes the age difference between couples proves to be too much and the relationship can't go the distance.
Jesse & Darcey (18 Years)
This explosive couple is responsible for so many shocking 90 Day Fiancé moments. From the meat on the bias debacle to the flying Louboutins accusations Jesse lobbed at Darcey, this couple was never in short supply of drama.
Darcey is 18 years older than Jesse and has two children, which only further proved Jesse's immaturity. Too tumultuous to last, this couple eventually split and went their separate ways. Darcey currently is with another younger man named Georgi.
Michael & Juliana (20 years)
Successful wine entrepreneur Michael and Brazilian model Juliana first showed up in season 7 of 90 Day Fiancé. Many, including Michael's first wife, were suspicious of the young Juliana as possibly being a gold digger and using Michael. However, everyone came to love her.
Michael's ex-wife even officiated the wedding for them and became close friends with Juliana. Despite the couple's happy nuptials and seemingly content domestic life, they are unfortunately separating, as reported by Page Six.
Laura & Aladin (22 Years)
In season 1 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Floridian Laura moved to Qatar to be with her fiancé, Aladin. Marrying in a lavish multiday ceremony, as per Aladin's customs, Laura and Aladin dealt with a multitude of issues.
Problems like Laura's discouraging son, as well as cultural differences, seemed to pull the couple apart in different directions. Currently, Laura is rumored to have a new younger boyfriend and Aladin was dating someone closer to his age.
Michael & Angela (22 Years)
One of the most memorable couples from 90 Day Fiancé, Michael and Angela are known for far more than their big age difference. Many fights and cake-in-the-faces later, the couple is actually still together.
The couple has had many issues in their relationship, some stemming from the age gap, while others have nothing to do with age. Nigerian Michael and American Angela first starred on 90 Day Fiancé in season 7 of the original 90 Day Fiancé and they continue to entertain 90 Day fans.
Rebecca & Zied (22 Years)
With a grand proposal in the Sahara Desert, Georgia peach Rebecca and Tunisian Zied met on Facebook. Rebecca, who is 22 years Zied's senior, was married three times before tying the knot with Zied in 2020.
The pair had a number of cultural differences to overcome in their relationship. In addition, the couple faced disapproving family members who did not like the age gap between the couple. However, these two made it through their varying obstacles and are still together.
David & Annie (24 Years)
90 Day Fiancé mainstays, David and Annie, have been in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise since their introduction in season 5 of the show. One of 90 Day Fiancé's success stories as one of the few couples still together, they are still married even with 24 years between them.
David and Annie met in a karaoke bar in Thailand and have been joined at the hip since. The pair even have a cooking business together where Annie shows off her impressive Thai cooking skills.
Ryan & Stephanie (25 Years)
Ryan and Stephanie's relationship was short lived. Infidelity seemed to wreak havoc for this couple, eventually causing the two to go their separate ways. There was concern that Ryan was only with Stephanie for her money, as she is a successful businesswoman whereas Ryan is much younger.
It didn't help that the series showed Stephanie shower Ryan with expensive gifts and cash at every opportunity. On top of the sugar baby suspicions, the relationship also was burdened with Stephanie cheating on Ryan with his own cousin, which would wreck most couples.
Sumit & Jenny (29 Years)
Jenny is 29 years older than her Indian beau, Sumit. As Sumit's culture has a very heavy emphasis on family, the pair have not been able to get married, as Sumit's parents completely disapprove of the relationship. Sumit's parents do not like that Jenny will probably never be able to have children with Sumit, as well as not liking the thought that Jenny is a bit older than Sumit's mother.
However, Jenny and Sumit are still together despite the many protests against their relationship. With all the drama that has unfolded with this relationship, Jenny and Sumit are highly deserving of their own 90 Day Fiance spin off show.
Ed & Rose (31 years)
It seemed that Ed and Rose were pretty much doomed from the start as this relationship started off with a lie. Ed had told Rose that he was taller than he actually was and things only went downhill from there. Ed being 31 years Rose's senior was enough to make Ed's daughter stop speaking to him, which also caused issues in the relationship.
When Ed visited Rose in her native country the Philippines in season 4 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, things could never seem to go right, as Ed constantly put his foot in his mouth and offended Rose on multiple occasions. Unsurprisingly, the pair were broken up by the end of Ed's trip. However, Ed is in a new relationship now, this time with someone 27 years younger than him and is reportedly even engaged, according to The Sun.
Mark & Nikki (39 Years)
With a whopping 39 years between them,Mark and Nikki have the biggest age difference of any couple in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise (so far). Filipina Nikki is even younger than Mark's youngest daughter, dropping many viewers' jaws.
Yet, Mark's kids seemed to take everything in stride, accepting Nikki and Mark's relationship. The couple later sued TLC for its portrayal of their relationship, with the case later getting thrown out, according to In Touch Weekly. As of now, the couple are still together.
