The relationships on 90 Day Fiancé can sometimes get a little confusing between the not-always-honest intentions of the people involved and the manipulation of producers who want an interesting show. One of the most complicated relationships may be Harris and Emma from season eight. The on-again-off-again couple also has the added complication of the Harris and Stephanie Davison debacle. It’s impossible to know exactly what’s going on. Here’s what we know about the “it’s complicated” relationship of Harris and Emma.

Emma and Harris were already in a long-term relationship and had at least three kids together when Harris ended up in a relationship with his cousin Ryan’s ex-fiancée, Stephanie. Viewers questioned Harris’ sincerity and feelings for Stephanie, but it turns out Stephanie was the one who allegedly asked him to fabricate a relationship with her in order to help her stay on the show after she broke up with his cousin.

On the show, Harris claimed he was separated from ex Emma, and even Emma herself claimed the two were just co-parenting their children. Eagle-eyed fans noticed in one scene between Harris and Stephanie, Harris seemed to have a ring-finger tan-line that would imply he recently removed a wedding ring (via Instagram). Knowing that the Stephanie-Harris relationship was fabricated for the show, it seems likely that Emma and Harris were actually married and Harris was removing the ring for filming in order to go with the show’s narrative.

Harris and Stephanie aren’t the only couple to fake a relationship on the show, but fans very much seem to be rooting for Harris and Emma to stay together. Harris appears to genuinely be family-oriented, using money Stephanie had given him to support his children. Stephanie came forward about the whole fake storyline and the two are no longer a couple, real or otherwise. It seems likely Emma and Harris, who never actually broke up and were married the entire time, are still together, though not currently in the public eye.

In a world of fabricated relationships, it’s hard to know what the real story is. In this case, it seems the real story is that Stephanie and Harris never had a real relationship and Emma and Harris have maintained a happy marriage. With Stephanie having spilled the beans, Harris and Emma may not get a chance to play further roles in the 90 Day Fiancé universe. For the sake of Harris and Emma’s children, it’s probably best.
