A few clues suggest that the new 90 Day Fiancé season 5 couple Ella Johnson and Johnny won't get to meet each other during this season. Ella and Johnny are one of seven couples who have now been introduced on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 5. Ella is a 29-year-old woman from the United States, whereas Johnny is her 34-year-old Chinese boyfriend. The Idaho native is obsessed with Asian culture, which is why she used a social media site called "Asian men, White women" to connect with her Asian prince, Johnny.
Many 90 Day Fiancé fans have accused Ella of having an "Asian f*tish" and potentially being a racist. These viewers also believe that the new TLC star doesn't understand the vastness of cultures that reside in Asia, claiming that she has stereotypical views about it. On the other hand, Ella defended herself and said that she is a normal person who wears her heart on her sleeve. Ella and Johnny have been chatting with each other for about a year. They are clearly in love. Unfortunately, though, the COVID-19 pandemic stopped them from meeting in person. In the last episode, Johnny told Ella that his visa got denied, so he may not be able to come to the US.
Sadly, a few clues suggest that the couple could not meet during their time on Before The 90 Days. Ella's recent Instagram photo seemingly confirms that she hasn't been able to meet Johnny in person yet. The post shows Ella at a community BBQ event, and her caption states, "Hope next year Johnny will be here to see me sing in person!" It looks like this new 90 Day Fiancé couple couldn't meet when the cameras were rolling, but they are still together and planning to see each other in 2022.
There's another big reason why many 90 Day Fiancé viewers think Johnny won't make his journey from China to Idaho. As most people are aware, the COVID-19 pandemic still isn't over. In fact, many countries are seeing a rapid rise in COVID-related cases every day. It was also understandably tough for Johnny to make it to the US in 2021. Interestingly enough, the preview for the upcoming episode shows Johnny rethinking his decision. Apart from that, there are no promo images showing Ella and Johnny together, which also hints that they didn't meet.
Ella and Johnny haven't met yet, but many 90 Day Fiancé fans are already suspicious about them. For instance, some TLC viewers think that the 29-year-old reality star is obsessed with Asian men. Still, it would be interesting to watch the couple meet for the first time and see how their relationship would evolve. 90 Day Fiancé viewers hope that Ella and Johnny do meet in 2022.
